About this listen

New studies show that as we are drugging our senior more, they are falling more and dying more from their falls. We may think that dramatically lowering blood pressure and sugars, fixing cholesterol with statins, using blood thinners to prevent stroke, and medicating sadness are beneficial, but the pile of drugs we're tossing into elderly bodies to "fix" aberrant numbers is leading to more deadly falls. We must turn our back on specialists who demand we must take so many drugs, and return to common sense and healing as a guide to treatment.
