[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, a pill-poppin society for decades.  When you go to a new doctor and the nurse asks, what pills do you take? If you answer ‘none’, she will fall of her chair.  It’s so rare. [/quote]

So what do you all take on this thread? [/quote]

I'm 50 and I don't take anything. Not even vitamins. I follow my doctor's advice but I don't have anything prescribed.[/quote]

50 is really young. You shouldn’t be taking anything at that age.

I wasn’t at 50. But then, not so long after that…

My mother was almost 72 before she took any daily medication or supplements. She is active (still works) but not an exerciser, didn't eat junk food but neither ate DCUM "clean." Could have afforded to lose 20 pounds but never weighed herself and didn't bother with a doctor.

Just shy of her 72nd birthday, she was hit all at once with some weird symptoms, saw a doctor, then a specialist, and found she has a late showing autoimmune disease. She now has to to take three medications daily. It has been an adjustment for her.

Sometimes, it is just luck of the genetic draw.[/quote]
