wha are so many people allegedly allergic to wheat and peanuts, when they never were before?
As I mentioned above. Companies are afraid of lawsuits. I'm actually looking at a can of Planters Peanuts right now. On the back of the label it says "Contains Peanuts." No $hit! It's a can of peanuts.
I can understand if a bottle of Mop-N-Glo contains traces of peanuts but do you have to warn customers that a can of peanuts "contains peanuts"?
C'mon Man!

Doctor tried to put me on a drug for Hyperthyroidism. I picked up the script, paid 4 bucks, stared at the bottle and said, fuckk this. Three months later, I go to the DR and he said my thyroid is in great shape and did I take the entire bottle. I didn't take ONE PILL. Ate better and exercised a little harder and wahh lahh...cure.
Though I'm not a poster child for staying away from all pharmaceuticals. I take prescribed Modafinil because I work 12-16 and sometimes 24 hr shifts and I drag serious asss. But other than that, I stay away from the drugs. Too scared. Side effects with everything out there is just nuts.

I love how they end up spending more time on the possible side effects of the drug than the potential benefits, but the narrator talks faster when mumbling through the side effects.

they should bring back liquor and cigarette commercials
Booze & Cigs are part of every 120+ year community's daily enjoyment & coping mechanism. Bad stuff for the Boardroom Bottomlines. That's why they limit these pleasures.
Please freakin realize that Big Pharma is in bed with Big Insurance.
BUT DO POP YOUR MEDs - and pay out the nose to die sooner. Thank you TV Viewer - you big friggin dummy you.
But worse then both of these is the unconstitutional group of controllers calling themselves The FBI - as Snowden as proven, they don't have to persuade you, they just barge in (except of course not in Ferguson, MO)

1) There is no substitute for a healthy lifestyle. I have many patients who eat right, exercise daily and do not smoke or drink. I see them once a year and tell them to come see me in a year. There is never anything wrong with 99% of them.
2) There is no doubt that things like high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol increase the risk for stroke and heart attack. It has been proven in countless scientific studies. There is no doubt that medicines for these conditions decrease risk FOR THE MOST PART. Again, the best treatment is diet and exercise but only about 2-5% of my patients will be diligent enough to follow through with this plan. For the majority we end up giving medicine to decrease their risk of dying. Is there side effects to these medicines? Absolutely, the key is to find one that is well tolerated for that particular individual, most of the time that is possible.
3) Be very careful of anecdotal evidence. Things that start with " I know a guy" are not very useful and are probably more dangerous than our drugs. Penicillin has cured billions of infections since it was discovered but" I know a guy" that took it and it damn near killed him from an allergic reaction. His throat was closing up and he was drooling all over himself.....etc. Cars are very dangerous too, I know a guy that once died in a terrible car crash, who the hell would get in one of those things.
4) I personally think the drug commercials are way over board too. I also find that they do little to help me practice and/or cause discussion with my patients. Truth be told, I am surprised they are still on and effective, but they must be. If they were not, big pharma would know and big pharma has all the money.

As a doctor this thread is interesting to me.
A couple of thoughts-
1) There is no substitute for a healthy lifestyle. I have many patients who eat right, exercise daily and do not smoke or drink. I see them once a year and tell them to come see me in a year. There is never anything wrong with 99% of them.
2) There is no doubt that things like high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol increase the risk for stroke and heart attack. It has been proven in countless scientific studies.

In this way, Doctors of Medicine's "Science," especially Med's Biology (since Biology is not mathematically based), can be seen as a tool bag of mythic lore (surviving today's Falsifiability tests), put in practice as a cause to achieve an effect of ease (i.e., not disease); thence, incorporating an approach that is first and foremost on the lookout for Awe and Wonder and Wholesomeness, to promote Mind-Over-Matter rather than the Doctor making the Disease, an approach from that perspective where inherently involuntary logic steps are not devoid of Feelings such that science-as-religion imprisons nobody.
