“Dr. Andrew Weil Says We’re Taking Too Many Medicines” – The New York Times – June 22, 2017
Dr. Andrew Weil, the integrative medicine pioneer, has a new book, “Mind Over Meds: Know When Drugs Are Necessary, When Alternatives Are Better”. He argues here that people are now taking far too many medicines (whether statins, antidepressants or common cold remedies) – a problem that’s been building this last century because of a mindset on the part of doctors that medication is the only legitimate way to treat disease. (Dr. Weil will keynote at this October’s Global Wellness Summit.)
