The price we pay,
And it is substantial,
To cue our ills
Is more than financial:
Bloating
Blindness
Difficulty in swallowing
Dizziness
Diarrhea
Bouts of unchecked wallowing
Anxiety
Insomnia
Excessive flatulence
Nausea
Muscle spasms
Shortness of extravagance
Why, oh why
Can’t side effects be
Welcome symptoms
Of living healthily?
Only when physicians
Prescribe meditation
And bright sunshine
Will patients discover the
Side effect of feeling fine.
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

so true that meds more often than not create nasty side effects, the cartoon is really appropriate”. The hard part is that for meditation to really work, you need time and patience and the willingness to embark on all sorts of other lifestyle changes in food, exercise, fresh air, going to bed early etc.. 🙂

My mother-in-law was going through some awful stuff–fainting, dizziness, palpitations. The doctors ordered a whole series of tests. One of the specialists said, “wait! Let’s take her off all of her meds and see what happens.” Within days she was much better. They’ve monitored her carefully and added one of her medications back in, but she is back to normal.

So glad for your mother-in-law, and I’m not surprised either. Western medicine has one specialist (say ear & nose) with no idea what the other one (say rheumatism) is prescribing, nor what the combined effect will be. It’s exponential side-effects
