Overmedicated America

We’re taking too many drugs, too much more than what is needed and much more than our bodies biological limitations!

This infographic is certainly an eye-opener and I believe we should stand against this trend: for example, many of home-made traditional natural remedies are as effective as these poisonous chemicals, they don’t have side effects and they’re certainly less expensive.
