No doubt about it. It's like something out of Orwell. Doctors fanatically pushing their arsenal of magic plastic pills, all manufactured in a lab, all of them producing crazy side effects and other horrors, bizarre isolates that tweak the human body in dangerous ways, and that resolve nothing, with some exceptions. And then they scoff at basic nutrition, and call the 'alt' people quacks. Of course some supplements are lab created isolates too, but they are closer to what the body recognizes as food, and are less toxic generally and actually address real issues.

Unless you are living in some purified world where the soil is nutrient dense, the food and water is not contaminated by GMOs and pesticides and glyphosate and heavy metals, and you are eating a perfect and clean diet… your body is gonna need help beyond basic diet.

I went off meds, use only supplements and do remarkably well compared to how sick I was for several years. She on the other hand refuses to take anything other than a cheap multivitamin and every drug her doctor wants to give her. Her health is getting progressively worse to the point I fear she's going to be dead or in a nursing home within a few years. And the sad thing is, a lot of her issues could be resolved if she was willing to take a few key supplements, but she refuses. I grieves me to see her suffer so terribly....
That's sad for her, but nice that you are making progress. I have terrible fatigue also.
Thanks for this!
