One of the things that I repeatedly state in providing guidelines for healthy living is to take medical drugs only if essential. Although in recent years there has been considerable adverse publicity associated with certain pharmaceutic drugs there is still the strong perception that medical drugs are ok and will help.

While it is acknowledged that medical drugs have been important for helping to relieve the suffering of many millions it is also the case that excessive use of medicinal drugs (obtained either on prescription or over the counter at a pharmacists or supermarket), can lead to serious physical ill-health. It is important to avoid taking drugs unless there is a defined medical problem. If you are currently taking medication do not cease to take it without talking to your medical practitioner as the sudden cessation of medication can have a serious effect on your body.

Granny comes to visit from out of town. While enjoying some delicious iced tea on your porch, she has chest pains and asks you to call 911.

Response: “We can’t disclose that to you Ma’am. We are sorry.”
