The pills usually don't cure the problem. There are a lot of health issues that can be cured by diet changes, exercise, and not taking a pill to mask the symptoms. For example, a true milk allergy, being allergic to casein and whey proteins can mimic the symptoms of ADHD. A parent can medicate their kid or change their diet. A good number a lazy doctors will give the medicines because they make money from that. A diet change is easy and affordable to the patient, doctors can't make the same amount of money from that. Don't get me wrong, doctors can make all the money they want, but they should cure the patient not just mask the symptoms.

If not, good, never go. If so, enjoy flushing money down the toilet for the rest of your life. They pray on the weak minded, the poor, and the stupid and its absolutely disgusting.

mella;1247631 wrote:I agree about chiropractors. Went to one once (if multiple visits are once) and would never go again. Since then I've been to a massage therapist who took care of a lower back problem with one visit. He showed me the proper stretches to do and he requested zero follow up visits. I have not needed to go back the him at all.

Real doctors of osteopathic medicine can be very helpful. But of course, like all practitioners, some are great and others appear to be witch doctors.

Went to a chiropractor one time after that and walked out feeling great. Just did his regular alignment, popped the disc back into place, and I was good to go. A good chiropractor is well worth it from what I learned.

mella hit a lot of the stuff on the head with the first post. Terry_Tate followed up with another good one. I've been to chiropractors (4 different ones) and a massage therapist. No complaints with any of them -- at least in their practice, one chiropractor is just not a friendly lady. Not one time did a chiropractor adjust me and say "come see me in ........" They all fixed me up real good. I actually got some nice information the last time I went to a chiropractor that is helpful in knowing.

The last thing I want to do is put pills or whatever else into my body that is manufactured in a plant by "scientists" that are "curing" or "fixing" people. I would rather not have discharges from every orifice just to settle heart burn. Might as well get cut open and sewed up as well any chance you can.

Heretic;1247747 wrote:Just make sure to brush teeth regularly (or more regularly, unless you already do it 2-3 times a day regularly), as if you mix it in too high a level, it can damage your enamel. If you're going for the "got a million dollar body...and meth teeth", disregard that, but otherwise, a little extra tooth care definitely wouldn't hurt.

How many times a day do you drink a glass of water/Braggs?
