I'm not saying they don't serve a purpose.
Oh, I know. I gotcha. I was just pointing out somes exceptions to the "treating the symptom not the cause" mantra.
Acetominephine is one of the more tried and true drugs out there, I am just giving you an alternative.
I like Ibuprofen. If I've done a lot of hard work and have some sore muscles, it works great at getting rid of the pain. What's the alternative there? Although you do have to be careful sometimes, especially for sprains n'things, cause without the pain you don't know if you're damaging it further by walking on it, or whatever.
Some people are reliant on drugs when they don't have to be. I know people addicted to meds and what is supposed to be treating them is actually the cause of their problems.
I dated a girl in high school who was addicted to Afrin (a nasal decongestant). If you take the product more than 3 days, it actually causes your nasal cavities to clog up because it stops the bodies natural mucous system.
I used to be addicted to Carmex. Not like I was jonesing for it, but if I didn't use it before bed, then my lips would dry out and crack to the point of bleeding. I got sick of having to use it, so I just put up with the bleeding lips in the morning for about a week or so and it gradually stopped happening and now I'm fine.
There is also some concern that things like autism (which is dramatically increasing) is due to government mandated vaccinations. The claim is that "thimerosal," an additive in vaccines made from the compound, mercury, is the main cause. A court ruling recently determined that no significant link can be made. The debate is back and forth, I honestly can't say whether there is a link or not. One thing is for certain, it seems to me. Something in the environment or something we are ingesting is the cause, because there is no reason why there should be an increase as dramatic as it is unless it is something we are regularly in contact with.
I don't know anything about that. There's a higher
percentage of autism? By how much and how fast?
