[quote=Anonymous]NP here - I do think our society is overprescribed mess.  Ditto for the gross and unhealthy chemicals in our daily diets.  The problem is our reality is unlikely to change so it's up to each family to care and be educated on how big business truly aims to make us all unhealthier.  If you don't watch out you will get sick because of our lifestyle in general.

This said, I also believe there's a place for western medicine. DS is better on Prozac than not.  He doesn't do well on ADHD meds so he's not in them.  He does Trans. Meditation and the TM helps.  So a blend of therapies for our family.  I try to feed our family healthy stuff and shop at WF.  We also buy plenty of junk food like Doritos and drink Gatorade when kids play sports!  Cause there's healthy stuff that tastes like shit! And I think it's OK to not eat 100% healthy.  In an ideal world I'd love to take my family to live overseas esp in Europe where food is not as overly processed as US.  Because I cannot do that, I remain cognizant that 95% of food at Safeway really isn't healthy yet I will still get some of that because honestly, food has to taste good as well :)

I think we in this country have to be realistic that meds are important but not a 100% cure all.  Every situation us unique and it's never black and white. [/quote]
