2old, my daughter at a point in her marriage was in need of a doctor and she was referred to a fairly young MD and he pushed so many drugs on her that she ended up in rehab. Over the years he's got a reputation in our town as a "writer" and he's listed in the major listing of MD's and what outside gifts they take, a real rat.
She's been thru hell and back and wants nothing to do with pharma drugs if she can help it.
She's the one who brought the HGH gel to me.

Why wouldn't the aging population want to feel better and stronger as we age? Again, the MD's are failing the population in this area. draxe.com/nutrition/supplements/human-growth-hormone/And I'm not talking Steroids folks. And as far as aggressive cardio work, what older person do you know who can do this? Very few out there.... Dr. Axe thinks low HGH causes metabolic syndrome. But metabolic syndrome is caused by refined carbohydrates and lack of physical exercise. Maybe HGH makes metabolic syndrome worse. But before taking HGH, people should just fix their lifestyle.

She's been thru hell and back and wants nothing to do with pharma drugs if she can help it. She's the one who brought the HGH gel to me. About two years ago, a good friend's mother was written off. In her 80's, she could no longer take care of herself. He moved her to assisted living in a town not too far from where she had been residing. A few days later, he got a call from the nurse at the assisted living facility. She was having difficulty understanding why the lady was taking so many prescription drugs. He drove out there and had a long visit with the nurse. They contacted a doctor in the new community who agreed that some of the prescribed drugs were ever "competing" against each other. The process of "weaning" her off most of her medications began. The nurse would see that she got regular trips to the new doctor, assuring everyone things were going okay. Within a few months, they were able to move her back home. She is still living on her own and is in the best health she has been in for some years. She was just over-medicated and that was, literally, killing her. Word go out about her experience and the doctor she had gone to for years, suddenly retired and moved away from the community.

I think this happens a lot, and it's so sad. Most of the time no one notices and the patient keeps getting worse. The interactions between drugs are not tested, because there are too many possible interactions. Patients get symptoms, and more drugs are added to treat those symptoms, which are often just side effects. More and more drugs are added. The patient just gets sicker, more demented, more disabled.

It's a vicious cycle and patients have to learn to say NO to more and more drugs, but the older folks for some G-D reason keep trusting docs and their push.
A friend who is 93 just about refuses all pharma drugs and if she takes a script home reads up on it and says, NO WAY. Seeks alternatives to the drug she is given. She's got her faculities.

My doctor doesn't push drugs at all. Most of the ones I come across don't in my area. Only to the complainers and those who feel that drugs are the only thing they want.
Exercise, diet, ... those are the magic pills pushed for my husband who has had cancer, copd, a stroke, emboli, and other health issues. They have reduced his meds and increased his ability to breath with supervised exercise.
My doctor? She wishes she could be like me when she is in her 60's. She feels lost with patients that only want to hear a pill and surgical solution. So no, not all doctors are that way.

And it would be too all the drugs one takes can be making their issues worse. Drug interactions are a big issue. My daughter was there and now avoid all pharma with a passion. That is WHY the supplement world is BIG, there are alternatives to just about every drug one takes. omtimes.com/2012/10/herbs-and-supplements-for-copd-and-asthma/You can find info on antioxidants and COPD...but once a person is taking so much drugs, they are sucked in.

Bottom line the allopathic doctors are in business to sell drugs and sell surgeries. If they didn't they would not have a business.
There are those, of course, like integrative MD's which are the ones I see only for the last 20 some yrs who do supplements first and if all fails, will go to a pharma drug.
I have 2 friends who are both 93 and basically in very good health but have issues they would like to not have like Lack of Good Sleep. I didn't approach them on the HGH homeopathic gel I"m talking about as at their ages, why? But in the last couple days I finally talked about the "gel" to them and both are considering it for the years that are left in their lives. Get some good sleep before it's over. Both shocked me in their receptive responses. We'll see if they follow thru. DEEP SLEEP is the first thing everyone experiences on using the "gel".

My GP is. The other doctors in his practice are not. I think he gets the kickback for the entire practice since he is the senior partner. May have a "share and share alike" arrangement. A couple times it has been close to $50,000/year. Probably pocket change for them, but still a reward for prescribing a specific manufacturer's drugs. My doctor's name and address came up, but there was no information on her. How do I find that?

I put our doctor's name in the search bar. His name and the practice address comes up. His name is in "blue". I clicked on his name and the payments for 2018 appeared.

Rebecca, so your navy commander MD does NOT use pharma drugs? Does she work with alternatives first and then if need be go to the drugs? These are call integrative MD's if that's the case. Navy or not.

Navy or not. What I meant was that she doesn't cater to the Pharm-reps nor does she have any interest in doing so as a Navy doc... Many doctors surround themselves with various big pharma reps and are influenced to prescribe that companies meds... Other than that she is a typical physician not one who is into alternative or homeopathic medications.
