Do you take a prescription medication?

Medications are simply selective toxins, poisoning a specific pathway in the body. Maybe that sounds too harsh? How about this? Medications block physiologic pathways in the body to produce a certain result. Better?
When we are dealing with chronic conditions, the dysfunctional pathway is at the level of the cell, the mitochondria. Is there a medication for the mitochondria? No. So, doctors treat the symptoms of the metabolic condition. High blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, low HDL, increased waist size.
By simply treating the symptoms, you are lulled into a false sense of security that your disease has been ameliorated.
