Saying that people should supplement hormones until they get well is like saying they should shoot themselves in the head until they get better . It is most likely the drugs , even the ones that supplement natural substances ,such as antidepressants and prednisone, that cause most illnesses and that prevent people from getting well . Michael Jackson's lupus was probably caused by prednisone given him for a back injury . Preliminary reports are that several ribs were fractured when they tried to perform CPR on him , probably because his bones were weakened by steroids . I have broken several bones , probably because of prednisone use and prednisone probably caused my depression leading to antidepressant use. Michael's vitiligo was probably caused by steroids.Prednisone also ruins your immune system and every other system and makes you more likely to get life threatening infections and less likely to survive them , even with antibiotics.It is interesting that people who don't trust mainstream dentistry fall for mainstream medicine.I know people who got steroid shots after injuries and got better at first , then got worse and got more and more shots and eventually their joints were destroyed so that now nothing can be done.
Almost no drugs cure anything . The most they do is suppress a symptom temporarily and cause a side effect that is worse than the original symptom . Most drugs are only tested a few weeks before being approved . If they tested cigarettes for a few weeks , they wouldnt find them to cause cancer or heart disease.
Ralph Nader's public citizen organization has a site called www.worstpills.org that has alot of information about the dangers of prescription drugs.
The Physicans Desk Reference is a good source for drug info . There are two versions of it, one for doctors and one for laypeople and the one for doctors is better. The Physicians Desk Reference is put out by the pharmaceutical companies so, if anything ,it is biased in favor of minimizing the risks of drugs.
