hmm.... i wonder if you have to be all... yoga and crystals for a retreat...
i wonder what a... scientifically informed one would look like. only, no, that's not quite it... hmm...
i wonder why people haven't gone all 'traditional maaori healthcare round nz tourbus' taking people through thermal regions and...
?
and whatever they do. did.
hrm
prozac was a big money earner. viagra is a big money earner too. is not being able to get it up psychologically distressing? then i think health insurance pays for it? they were trying to get female orgasmic dysfunction or something like that through as psychological... thinking that would open up a new drug market, too.
i just mean to say that there are a bunch of different mental health drugs out there because there is money in it. only while the drug is under patient... which is why 'latest = greatest'. the research teh drug companies did says so.
safer than... stuff handed out in the 60's (no more harmful (helpful?)? than wheetiepuffs...
orthopedics gets to be the poster child of 'making things all better'. i feel like... probably lots of orthopedic people would read that first post and go 'amen!'
but then there are murky areas... we don't know very much about the immune system... hormones... i think hormones are interesting, actually... learning about how the pill prevents ovulation and then we get the death of the female sex drive which we're gonna make a new pill for!! sigh.
i'm sure it isn't as bad as all that. but when one feels depressed about it all.. the depressing stories... resonate.
