    We need our doctors to prescribe good food, clean air, exercise as health, instead of prescribing drugs!

    YES. A major issue. I knew about the 'jagged little pill' being an issue many years ago. I never thought about antibiotics. Especially in countries where they are available over the counter.

    Sadly, North American doctors solve every problem with pills. It is the easiest and fastest way to solve everything. Treatment is never offered unless there is no other (pill) option.
