What’s your doctor giving you? A recent survery indicates that over half of American physicians prescibe placebos for patients. Mind you these physicians aren’t prescribing, in many cases, the traditional non-medicinal “sugar pill.” Some of them are actually prescribing powerful medications such as antibiotics or even tranquilizers.

That’s not placebo. That’s barely one step away from tying a patient up and injecting him with drugs involuntarily. The practice is so reprehensible that even the AMA’s Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs (CEJA) condems it.

You must understand each and every drug your physician prescribes. Take each pill and verify it’s use and action- use the internet or textbooks. Using powerful medications as placebo is the healthcare equivalent of drugging and raping someone.

It’s your health. Take it seriously and stay in charge.
