This is off topic but deserves a look.

Does anyone else remember their Grandparents having a pharmacy in their medicine chest?

I am talking maybe 3 decades ago. They were having people taking 15 pills a day. I couldn't believe it. 3 rows of drugs, some narcotic, and neither were with cancer.

How did they manage to get America to eat pills like candy? It was crazy. Both my grannies had medicine cabinets that a drug addict would of drooled for, and both died of natural causes at 90. The men of my family usually die from stress or drop off buildings.

My mom has her blood pressure and a couple vitamins like alpha betic and Lutien.

I dunno. I just seems the Star Trek mentality told us we could take a pill to cure all evil. I'm so far from a health freak I could die from a stroke at any time, but to remember looking those medicine cabinets still atounds me.

Damn those evil pills. I wonder if anyone on them ever cared to notice that life expectancy has increased dramatically over the past 60 years...

Over medication in this country is a problem....

Did you know, that anything that actually 'cures' or treats things, has to be called a drug.

EPSOM salt is a drug (as a rediculous entry).

there are some crazy pills. I knew my grandmother before she dies of stomache cancer she took a pill a day to prevent choking. She once choked on a potatoe chip and then on she took took a pill to prevent choking. Some pills are ridulicies.
