This statistic is shocking in some ways and in many ways it is not. Nearly 60% of Americans take some type of prescription drugs. This was according to a recently released study in the Journal Of American Medicine. Now before you start hurling rocks at me and saying that your prescription drug is a necessity, let me say, "I understand".
Its fair to say that I've taken prescription drugs over the course of my life. I wanted to be fair and say that up front. I took stuff for stomach problems, allergies, migraine headaches, anxiety, and antidepressants. So, before you throw the rocks at me, just realize where I was at during most of my life.
Today I take no medications. I have a small bottle of Aleve that will last me for a long time. Other than that, there is nothing I take on a daily basis. I rarely take Aleve and generally only when I've been traveling and need to be at my peak or I've overdone it with yardwork and hurt like there is no tomorrow.
I have found ways to deal with the physical situations that were arising in my life that caused me to take medications. I know that the tests and medical community convince us that we need all these drugs, but for the most part, I don't agree. Of course, do what you need to do for yourself and don't take this as medical advice.
