“If you keep only healthy food in your cupboard and fridge, you will eat good food.” – Errick McAdams “You need a steroid to fix your ills. Now vaccination to ward off winter chills. Take an antidepressant, to calm your woes. Let’s try antibiotics and see how it goes. A short run of oxycodone to ease any pain. Eating salt and acidy food you must refrain. We will give you antacids just in case, And a full range of vitamins, food to replace. Eat nothing with Gluten or carbohydrate. We’ll give you a pill to lower your heart rate. A bevy of sprays to help you breathe. A mood stabilizer if you begin to seethe. There’s nothing else before you run out of money. Make sure you call if you begin to feel funny. Your health will soon be at its highest peak. Make an appointment to see me in a week.” "How uplifting it feels to be given such care. Knowing my specialist has it all right there. And silly me was considering healthy living. Fresh air, good food and exercise, such a misgiving !!"

Glad you like it dear Linda. Its kinda true, There is a pill for every occasion these days. Sneeze .. a pill for a cold. Smile you must be feeling light headed - a pill for dizziness. Scratch an itch - an antihistamine.. You name it they've got it for ya!!!

Your poem reminds me of my health care team. Everytime I see them, they want to prescribe another mediciine. I respectfully decline them, taking chances. I hope one day we will live with least amount of pills.

Yes it reminds me of mine too Jay. For years I blindly went along with them, now I have learned to say no. Thanks for your supportive comment. Best wishes from Wen
