i was joking because or ur rant on the evils of chickendom. Sorry about ur dad tho. Wasnt trying to hit a nerve. I dont take any meds either. I had to take oxycontin 80mg four times daily for 2 years. I told my pain management dr i wanted to get off of it. It tookalmost a yr and a half to wean me off and withdrawal symptoms were still terrible.

no worries

While I miss him, I figure he sealed his own fate following the advice of someone that is PRACTICING medicine. How does it make sense to take 20 plus daily meds?

I wonder if drs get some sort of kick back for prescribing meds. While recovering from my accident i was on oxycontin, lyrica, baclofen, coumadin, xanax, trazadone, and a few others that i cant remember off the top of my head. When i told the doc i wanted to get off of everything he seemed reluctant. Every time i go to the orthopaedic dr he tries to put me back on lyrica and tries to force a prescription of lortabs on me. Idk

it makes no sense. the doc should be reported

Possible, but I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt. Their education is about medicine not nutrition or homeopathics.
A buddy of mine is a doctor. He said, throughout his education, he never had a class on nutrition.

You'll notice the recommendations in drug commercials is to never stop taking a medication without speaking with your doctor.

I'll be 62 Monday. In the last 10 years, I've been to a doctor once when I had the flu while working out of town. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I don't think so.

Yes, doctors get kickbacks, and perks from the drug companies for prescribing.

i chose non hearting greens - i hope they perform.

the greens are a month in and starting to look like plants

Growing greens is going to be tough at coco beach. We plant ours in the fall. It seems they thrive when we have frost. Oh and bugs love em. Just from my experiences but i dont know a whole lot. If u figure out a way please share. I would so love a row of georgia collards in july. And summer cabbage would be awesome
