I have used ENOUGH drug pushing MD's and lived with the side effects, so hence my approach starting in my later 50's. I just lived thru a battery of UCLA doctors with this knee issue but thinking I could have died with their LATE diagnosis of what was going on with knee. I'm suffering with a pretty deformed knee from all the pushing thru the pain with an infection going on.

I'd like to get back to the Heart Health topic here.

We all know where we stand and what we individually believe. I have to use both types of medicine and WISH I didn't but I do.

Due to my preferences of general care, I cannot go to an HMO due to the doctors total mainstream approaches. So I could save money, if my mind changed, but it's not going to.

Peace out everyone and take care of the heart.

According to the theory of grounding, the earth's surface is negatively charged and contact with the earth allows electrons to neutralize free radicals in the human body. Supposedly, lying or walking barefoot on grass, sand or earth, or lying on a special pad connected to the earth by grounding wires or a rod, or plugged into a wall outlet with a "modern earth ground system" reduces blood viscosity and blood pressure.
LOL, sounds dangerous to me.

Actually, NO, you DONT have to use prescription meds at all. You can choose to use nothing or try to find supplements that may work. So WHY do you take those prescriptions?

I mentioned this many times, WHY and I'm not going to repeat again. Those who have "followed" me around can let others know, if they really want to know. Thanks.

It doesnt take much effort to reply and explain why you use prescription drugs when you look for any opportunity to rail against doctors prescribing them.

Oh yes the dangers of magnesium, COQ10, L-Carnatine and D Ribose. These kill people every day.

I'm expecting my order of D Ribose today as I've been off it too long due to long rehabs....if I'm not back here you can guess why.

I was just giving you the opportunity to explain why you're not a hypocrite.

Well, I was referring to Dr. Sinatra's "earth grounding blanket" on the ground outside and plugged into an electrical outlet.

Not sure what your point was, unless it was along the line of suggesting that all "Alt-med' measures are equal in their claimed effectiveness and I'm just silly in dissing one of them, LOL. I take some magnesium and Co-Q10 myself, can't say I know whether or not they do a damn thing for me, but hope they might.

If you don't come back, maybe we can assume you got on the wrong side of that "earth grounding blanket", or tried to use it while it was raining?

I'm not a hypocrite and stop your accusations of what you THINK I am. And I don't attack MD's for giving drugs out like candy, that's what many do and have many patients with their hands out. So many here make up words to fit their moments for posting. One thing I'm definitely not is a hypocrite...but I can think of some here.
