Oh my goodness, @novacadian! I am so glad your daughter regained her health.

I was on handfuls of pills 3X a day, and weekly shots at the time when I lost weight. I have a few serious conditions that were seeming to all be doing better. When I asked my 4 doctors if I should cut back on any of them since I was now "half my size" they all said no!

So I spent one year with all four of them weaning off all of it. I planned to add back what I needed, but it turned out I needed none of it and still felt fine. That was all done about 6 years ago, and I have never taken any of it again.

I agree with you - it's a big pharma racket for the most part.
