It's amazing to me how the pharmaceutical industry takes a tiny shred of evidence -- a distorted study, a slight improvement in blood chemistry, or a tiny reduction in symptoms -- and exaggerates that evidence until it sounds like a miracle cure in a pill. The mass media seems more than happy to go along, too, and they regularly print front-page news headlines with highly misleading statements on the supposed benefit of various prescription drugs (such as the current round of ridiculous claims about statins).

The fact is that no prescription drug comes close to producing the health benefits of simple physical exercise. Daily exercise outperforms prescription drugs by some 10,000% according to some blood chemistry markers. A daily 30-minute walk will make you far healthier than a daily dose of whatever drug is the current rage. And yet part of the reason prescription drugs are so popular -- and so heavily promoted with absurd news headlines -- is because the general public wants to believe in them. They want a magic pill that allows them to avoid the responsibility of taking charge of their own health. So they're primed to believe in any miracle promise offered by the pharmaceutical industry. But it's really just quackery. Organized quackery. By and large, prescription drugs are worthless, and even when they improve one particular area of blood chemistry (like modifying good or bad cholesterol levels), they introduce a whole array of dangerous side effects that can cause far greater problems.

Let's face it: your body already knows how to be healthy. You don't need to ingest chemicals on a daily basis to balance your blood chemistry, all you need is regular physical exercise, outstanding nutrition, and avoidance of all metabolic disruptors -- the ingredients in foods and beverages that cause disease in the food place. Prescription drugs are just a convenient way for people to avoid making healthful lifestyle choices and, instead, put their health (and their wallets) into the hands of greedy drug companies.
