Doctors private and NHS prescribed so many pills for my father that it was a wonder that he didn't rattle. None of these pills cured his ailments but they did give him violent day long migraines and terrible nausea. One lot of pills did do some good but they made him so anxious that he had to come off them.
Do you know that doctors and medical science have no idea what pill combinations do to the brain and body? They are never tested because it is too expensive and too time consuming. So no one can say that pill A, pill B and pill C combined won't harm the patient. They may well be fine individually but taken together....Type 'Iotragenic' into Google and see what comes up. Tens of thousands of people die and are permanently incapacitated due to dangerous pill combinations, each and every year.
To get back to my father, I believe that the pills greatly antagonised and weakened his body while doing little more than suppressing his symptoms 'papering over the cracks', 'sweeping the dirt under the carpet'. The medicos decided that an operation was in order...the operation killed him, the stress of the operation upon a pill weakened body, combined with the anaesthetic was too much for his heart and he died a few days after.
This explains why I simply cannot be a Pollyanna cheerleader for HRT or a SRS, orchie, FFS, tracheal shave True Believer.
