Sadly, there are few doctors with the attitude of Dr. Katz in trying to AVOID drugs. Most around here laugh at alternative medicine. The doctors my parents visited constantly pushed pharmaceuticals at them. Before my dad died he was on more than 20 different medications daily. They were piled onto him over the course of a decade. Whenever either of my parents had a side effect from a drug, they'd simply be given another drug to treat THAT.
My parents became my own poster children for staying away from doctors AND drugs. I am in my late fifties, and I will muddle through my life without doctors or drugs, and may die ten years sooner than I could if I took all the recommended medications. Instead I will have the blessing of quality-of-life. My dad was a mess, and I think many of his heart medications contributed to his depression. He did not have a happy extra ten years.
