It is very difficult to dialogue with someone who has an entire life invested in modern medicine - so I won't bother. Except to ask do you really believe that modern medicine has prevented the death of children more than the factors I've already mentioned?Re: Drugs

My first infress on this discussion was that prescription drugs can be much more fatal than illegal drugs, and as there is a law against the later making it more difficult to get than prescription drugs are.Re: Drugs
David - it is a subject close to my heart and one I studied for years. As a youngster a very close relative of mine became severely addicted to prescribed drugs, the impact it had on my family was nothing short of devastating, not just because of the addiction but the GP upon realising how serious the addiction had become and just how much he had peddled the drugs, stopped them without any rehabilitation. The withdrawal was violent and extremely unpleasant to witness. This person has been addicted to various medications ever since, all the medications cause side effects and these are ameliorated by - yes, you've guessed it, further medication.Re: Drugs
