[QUOTE="Hanging-On, post: 92814, member: 2325"] Boy been there done that!!!! That is sooooo true. I hate to generalize, but in our "pill happy" "pharmacuetical" society today I think Dr's are not only on the "take" (the pharmacuetical companies have HUGE incentives for doctors to use THEIR specific medication over something else), but also looking for the quick answer. Even though there is evidence, research, text books, and some classes still being offered; our medication schools are pushing the practice of easing and managing the symptoms NOT finding out the causes behind the problems. Therefore, medications and more medications and more medications.....or evasive surgury. I personally don't understand it, but trying to find the TRUE cause behind something and then trying to fix that seems to be going extinct in the USA. It's all related to profit. The drug companies, the insurance companies, the surgeons rates for proceedures, the continual repeat visits to the doctor because you're MANAGING symptoms, not curing the cause (which would stop the need for repeat visits). It's a cycle that's producing a HUGE amount of money, and MONEY talks. Sad and disgusting, but that our reality today.
