Is it normal to be drug-free thanks to doctors?

In the '80s doctors were things I could trust, now they're scary, corrupt, and present the ultimate no-fun, isn't that extremist?! Come on! They overdose me with drugs and wonder why I refuse to take my medicine. Drug medicine is a lie accepted by popular people, I prefer healing naturally or by sorcery. The whole drug industry is no respect for the patient, it's bullshit! I think drugs are not healthy, just tell yourself you don't need them. This is the reason I usually don't take pills, I heal myself with a Pepsi or Coca-Cola, do you think these drugs (pills and injections) are good? It's Christian medicine, and Christianity is only good for suicide. Am I the only one who distrusts doctors? I don't do drugs, drugs can't be healthy. I'd rather smoke to relieve stress than take calming medicine, it's pseudo-science, believing a doctor because it's a doctor is the appeal to authority: believing something because an 'expert' said so. Is this normal?

    A study by researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine says medical errors should rank as the third leading cause of death in the United States — and highlights how shortcomings in tracking vital statistics may hinder research and keep the problem out of the public eye.

    Healing yourself with Pepsi and Coca Cola !? What the hell is wrong with you ? You should heal yourself with good food and exercise. Geez.

      I use Pepsi for indigestion and Coca-Cola for headaches and exhaustion, it's as simple as that.

        You might want to see other alternative solutions since yours are retarded. Please stay at school and quit doing drugs.

          I don't go to school, and my other alternative solutions are natural herbs, for instance.

    Meds are just chemicals. Sorcery and natural healing can be effective, but so can figuring out the science behind what you're taking. Overmedication is definitely a problem these days, but going off your meds isn't always the answer. Sometimes a better dosage or different approach are what's called for.

    I totally get you, I was on meds for years .. when I refused to take them they'd hold me down and inject me ..
    I stopped taking them a few months ago but didn't tell anyone at first and I can't believe how much better I feel without them!
    I can think, hold a conversation and I don't get any awful side effects ..
    Imo a lot of meds are just government mind control to keep everyone quiet.

      Exactly, but this is forensic medicine, e.g. it's to prevent me from being a threat to society, but I'm no threat, I learned to distinguish good from evil.
