No, JZ, the problem is that doctors mistakingly put their faith in the "scientific method', instead of the woo people who properly believe in "whatever makes me feel good."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, no, no - they're chemically equivalent to Prozac, and you can totally stop your ADs and pop two handfuls of cashews a day and get exactly the same benefits, only now you're free of the iron grip of Big Pharma!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mmm, cashews. Yum.
Possible downside to using GotG soundtrack a my workout playlist: I end up humming Hooked on a Feeling all day. Mind you, this is not a downside for ME, but probably annoying to my cube-neighbors.

As long as they're generic they'll cure bad stuff. Real Fruit Loops don't do anything because those are made by Big Breakfast.

For the record, I would love to be MORE in the Iron Grip of Big Pharma. I'd love to be able to give a pill to my daughter that would make it possible for her to grow overnight into a child who is no longer in the 0.002% for height and into the 20% height for age.
I'd love to have a magic fat burning pill that would allow me to eat All the Cheese and lose weight like crazy.
I'd love to have a pill to cure stupidity in others.
Alas.
