ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF DRUGS CAUSING US HARM?

I have come to realize that the best thing u can do for your child is to avoid giving him or her sweets and things that they will become addicted to in their early years, as trust me our processed foods are addictive.
I hear young girls complaining about discharges, because they eat too much mucous what could that be? i find out its white bread - they stop eating it, problems gone..........
Did u realize that a lot of the people with acne is due to drinking pasteurized milk ? This food thing is exciting......Even more amazing is the new and 'exciting' drugs on the market
PLAVIK, AVODART, RECLAST, EVISTA to name a few......Have u read or listened to the warnings on these things - it's more than the good they do and i quote 'EVISTA increases the risk of blood clots and should not be used by women who have or have had blood clots in the legs lungs or eyes . EVISTA may increase the risk of dying from stroke in women at high risk for heart disease or stroke'.
I don`t know if i have a clot lurking someplace, and after reading this i don`t even know what EVISTA is for and i`m not going to find out. RECLAST has a section labeled IMPORTANT INFORMATION that's downright scary. It even says tell your doctor if u have dental problems, dental problems????? come on who would associate dental problems with some thing u r taking for osteoporosis .Makes sense, bone anywhere is bone.
Sometimes i wonder if the drugs we take to help aren`t what is unwittingly killing us - a lot of us don`t even realize that Tylenol must NOT be taken with other products containing acetaminophen. Who knew?
Who knew that herb-based medicine or supplements musn`t be taken with chemicals ? Are we aware of these things ? Just like how certain foods don`t go together , certain vitamins cause the other not to work ,chemicals must be in that category.
As a hairdresser i can`t tell u how many times i had women sitting in my chair drinking coffee and me relaxing their hair and when it was all finished the hair didn`t take the relaxer. Years later after it happening a little too often i would find out that coffee blocks the relaxer on certain people , or was it the heat ,or was it tea too therefore the caffeine ? My rule was no one drink a hot drink while relaxing or colouring their hair.......I`m no chemist and didn`t want to become one.
On watching these ads recently and hearing the voices soberly warning us about the side effects of these drugs, i am now more aware so when i opened my monthly O magazine and saw that EVISTA had 3 pages of warnings and RECLAST had two , I know it's problematic what these drugs are doing to us and we are completely unaware.
I`m sure we are dying from the treatments and not the disease more than is being realized.
