"Polypharmacy can absolutely be harmful, but it can also be justified. My
time as a hospital pharmacist showed me that while medications can
cause harms, they can also be essential. Some seniors would be much
better off if we discontinued several of their medications. Others would
be dead. The absolute numbers of medications, supplements and
over-the-counter drugs taken isn’t the problem – but it is a big red
flag to proceed cautiously"
More drugs, more supplements, and potentially more problems
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
