Prescription medication is intended to only prolong illnesses and keep us dumbed down. There is nothing that common sense can't solve, most people's bodies are weak because they lack confidence.

Absolutely NOT placebo. Scientist here. Best way is very slow taper or very best start taking long half life drug like prozac first then taper off Effexor as tolerated then taper off prozac. I have seamlessly gotten off of several of those evil ones like Effexor and Cymbalta that way. It's actually a medically accepted way if you have a dr that knows what they're doing.

In a way, I agree with you. People need helped - not pumped full of drugs. But it's a very difficult situation and our medical care is no way near ready to REALLY help people. From my personal, in-depth experience with mental health problems and incredible insight, I've come to the conclusion people are really not "ill" - they just experienced something very traumatic in their childhood. The repression of these traumas and their confused, scared subconscious mind cause these "illnesses" to appear.

Yeah it's just a matter of clarity. Medicine does work but they only make it good enough to keep people alive, instead of neutering the sick like we used to do they want more sick people having sick babies to keep fueling the medical industry and pumping money into the economy.
