Here we go again...keep lowering the thresholds so that more and more people can be put on more and more drugs sooner than ever and for an entire lifetime.

Here we go again...keep lowering the thresholds so that more and more people can be put on more and more drugs sooner than ever and for an entire lifetime. This is why I refer the medical community as being the modern stone age medical mafia. Keeping people on drugs forever is NOT real medicine and healing. It's the opposite as the causes for diseases are never fully explored or understood. Why? That would put a gigantic dent in the revenues of the medical establishment.
I know! I find it interesting that the US is accused of "medicalizing" health by focus on disease and medication. Who knew that the true key was simply - more medication! I tend to see "medicine" (as in the practice of) as having a goal of preventing an earlier-than-expected death if possible and to limit the effects of 'disease' if possible. Beyond that, encouraging healthy habits and life balance is good. simply extending life does not make as much sense. Even if life is extended, the other factors of the aging body will come into play - poor eyesight; decreased hearing; joint problems; balance problems; limited independence. As of now, you can't outrun all those things.
