I'm glad to have discovered this remarkable new series of yours. Thank you for writing it and helping to remove a little bit more of my personal "brain fog" on the topic.
Although I unfortunately missed this post, I would like to reward it to the extent of my ability; would you kindly reply to this comment so I may do that? :D
Great post. "normal" is something society defines. Those not within that range are medicated. Why? As you say "medicine is a business".
Lots of questions are being asked about birdflu Zika & aids & others.....it's an interesting rabbit hole.
This is a great post! Pills for profit is sick. As a former surgical tech I can give first hand knowledge of the dangers of surgery. Stay away from the knife! Surgeons, anesthesiologists, drs, they all downplay the risk of “minor” elective surgery for profit. Anesthesia is dangerous, post op pills create heroin addiction, antibiotics destroy your immune system as do foreign implants. All these “professionals” really worry about it is making money & not getting sued. They want u coming back for pills.
Now they are recommending surgery for kids with gender confusion so they can create lifetime customers for hormones & forever surgery. Should be criminal.
I'm particularly disturbed about the message this sends to kids - that there's something wrong with them or everything that makes them uncomfortable must be and can be fixed if only they complain to the right doctor.
I know some people that put down rubber play mats throughout there house and lined their cement patio with astroturf when their kid fell down (nothing but a booboo - no blood). Every furniture corner got rubber padding and no door in the house could close all the way due to foam thingies that wrapped around the door so little fingers couldn't get hurt. It felt like being trapped in a padded room.
I loved this post. I was diagnosed with all kinds of things as a kid in order to justify a C+ average despite scoring highly on all kinds of aptitude tests. A university professor helped me discover the real problem. "Some people just have to care about what they're doing to do well at it, grades aren't enough motivation".
Great topic. The worst part of it is about children, as they're being given essentially narcotics, controlled substances that are addictive and whose long-term effects can only be presumed. How is it possible to put children as young as three or four on syndromes many experts say are completely made-up?
We have become a pill popping society. We are generally over medicated and lead down the garden path into thinking we need all this extra "medication" to prevent all kinds of dearth illness. We are not allowed to think for ourselves. The pharmaceutical companies can do that for us. This is big business.
I know where I live prescription med abuse is a huge problem and it is so easy to get them prescribed. I know my mom's generation believes doctors are always right and trust all the meds they prescribe. I think a lot of drugs prescribed have side effects that cause even more health problems. Big businesses love more health problems.
This thing of labeling most normal, active, happy, children as ADHD disturbs me a lot. Let children be children, they need to be full of energy and a little wild - that is normal! Thank you enjoyed your post.

I'll reply but I'll leave you a little something for visit. ;)

Couldn't agree with you more!
We don't have HEALTH CARE, we have ILLNESS MANAGEMENT. Hence the need for more Illnesses - there's more profit.

Good and bad in everything

How true. More money coming in. More pills being sold.
