Hi!

thanks for that...I will certainly explore the site, you're so right about side effect of meds, I feel I really need to take back some control and look at positive ways of living

sometimes I think getting the pacemaker was the easy part. Now to manage the rest of my life!

best wishes to you and yours❤️

What absolute nonsense !

Could someone explain to me why swallowing something which is NATURALLY occurring should be any safer and less likely to cause side effects than a synthetically produced substance which is subject to rigorous laboratory testing and extensive clinical trials ?

A few facts to consider before swallowing  things NATURAL :_

-  Apricot stones contain cyanide, NATURALLY occurring but deadly poisonous  !

-  Many mushrooms and toadstools will kill you very quickly but they are NATURAL

-  Aspirin ( salicylic acid )  is derived from  willow bark. Take too much of it and you will die from internal bleeding but you will die NATURALLY 

- Penicillin is NATURALLY occurring in various moulds. If you are allergic to it you can get anaphylactic shock and die

- Ecstasy ( with all it's dangers ) is derived from an oil which comes  from the roots and bark of the sassafras tree ... NATURALLY occurring and highly dangerous in the wrong dosages

I could give countless other examples...NATURAL DOES NOT MEAN SAFE 

I would feel far safer taking ANY prescription drug than I would eating the contents of any flower bed !!  I know which would give me the worst side-effects and it wouldn't be the drugs.
