[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]59 and I only take supplements.  My dentist recently was surprised.  What astounds me most is that so many people would rather take meds than work on their problem - such as folks who could get their bp down through diet and exercise but would rather take a pill.[/quote]

You realize that many people have hypertension who are otherwise healthy,  fit, and of normal weight. They need medication. If you are luck enough (now) to be healthy and not require medications, be thankful and not judgemental. Your time will probably come![/quote]

You are lucky!  If you win the lottery it isn't because you did something better than everyone else.  You simply lucked out.  Hopefully your luck will continue to hold out and you'll one day be a 90 year old who looks and acts like a 40 year old.[/quote]

I in no way was commenting on people who have no choice but to take meds!  READ CAREFULLY people - you'll notice I was talking about people who WOULD RATHER take meds than use diet and exercise to control a problem.  DCUMers you always amaze me with your reading ability considering you apparently all went to HYP as you like to put it!!  By the way, I am very aware how lucky I am not to be on meds!  Many people in my life are not so fortunate.[/quote]
