A lot of medication for sale in the US is for sale in Canada, just not ALL. I've heard a lot of people say they just don't take ANY medication, now granted there are pros and cons to that, I think there are more pros than cons.
Our bodies were meant to be sulf-sustaining, I like taking as little medication as possible (yes, even though I SELL medication for a career right now). An advil or tylenol here or there, and of course my migraine medication, because without it I'm on the floor bawling like a baby for 24 hours straight. I see these senior citizens on like 12 different medications to stay alive, and to me, that wouldn't be worth it, I'd rather die than have to pop 40 pills a day to live a mediocre at best life.
What are your takes on that? When you're old, are you gonna depend on science and medicine, or would you prefer to just drift off when you were supposed to? I think the Western culture has become so heavily dependent on drugs, look at places like the middle east and Europe where they use less drugs (they maybe don't live QUITE as long), but I think they live a better quality life, and for me, quality is more important than quantity.
You've opened up a good subject here, I'd love to hear other people's point of views.
