Don’t be deceived or manipulated—consider these points

Things are changing at lightning speed in our world today, and it’s vital to have accurate facts and make up your own mind about various issues.

Got meds? Read this before you take them today.
I have never heard of this before, but apparently October is National Talk About Prescriptions Month. Good, because I have a lot to say about that subject, so I’ll jump right in. Although there are times when medications are necessary, as a society (especially here in the US) we’ve gone WAAAY overboard and are increasingly relying on drugs to “create health” for us.

So what have all these billions of dollars bought...
