Somebody made the useful observation that what is commonly referred to as the "side effects" of medications are in fact part of the overall effect. Pharma has a done a great job of framing the desired effects as primary, and the other effects as secondary. But in reality most drugs produce a huge range of effects involving many organ systems, and many of them are adverse, and surely this is a sign that the body is being poisoned or damaged in some way.
Thanks for this!
