09/28 Overmedicating America: The Cruise Controversy

Quote From: n4mdconsnt

 Actually, I don't believe Tom Cruise was the first one to think that lack of nutrition was behind all of these increasing medical problems; but, he is the one to get a dialogue going on national television.  For that, I am forever greatful to him.

I am curious to know how many people posting to this site that are either taking medications themselves or dispensing it to loved ones have seriously tried a change of diet before ingesting any of these meds.  When I say seriously tried a change of diet, I mean to a healthy diet adhered to STRICTLY such as the Candida diet and for at least 1 year to allow for homeostasis to return.  Actually, I don't mean ANY diet, but more specifically THE candida diet which is also known as a whole foods diet with a few more restrictions.  I don't believe most of the so-called healthy diets out there are all that healthy, frankly.

For those of you that didn't go that route first, might I ask why not?

Hi Marsha, 

I just have to say that as easy as it may sound, some people don't have what it takes to stick to a regimented, healthy eating plan. Especially people with biologically based disorders that are marked by impulsivity and obsession. That's why even though it's common knowledge that smoking, drinking, and drug abuse are bad for a person, many are still addicted and continue to battle using these substances every day. Food is also an addictive substance, the wrong kind can be deadly, but it's not illegal, and is socially acceptable...

NUTRITION IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF MY SONS LIFE AND HIS DOCTOR IS THE FIRST TO SUGGEST NATURAL REMEDADIES HOWEVER THEY DO NOT ALWAYS WORK.  NO PARENT CHOOSES TO PUT THEIR CHILD ON MEDICAITON BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SIMPLE FIX IT OFTEN INVOLVES MORE DOCTOR APPOINTSMENTS, BLOOD WORK AND TRUST ME IF IT WAS JUST AS SIMPLE AS CHANGING MY SONS DIET I WOULD DO IT,  UNFORTUNATELY IT JUST DOES NOT WORK AT LEAST NOT FOR HIM.
