Taking care of ourselves legally

[Guest guest]

Please circulate the following as widely as possible.

 

We the educated senior citizens of India deserve a

better treatment for our health needs. Why should it

be mandatory for us very educated people to go to a

physician to treat ourselves if we don't want to

consult him? Yes, retired from job as we are, we wish

to save money. But we are restricted in our right to

health and right to choose the therapy by the labels

on the medicines and some vitamins and oils that they

have to be sold only under physician's prescription.

The World Self Medication Industry, France:

admin, www.wsmi.org/ is working for this

right of educated citizens. We are not talking of

prescribing or practising medicine. We are talking of

self-treating.

 

We therefore submit that all vitamins and minerals,

amino acids (proteins), the digestive enzymes such as

papytazyme, omega3 such as the Mega3 and Mexepa, the

GLA- 120 (it contains the evening primrose oil and

borage oil) should be available in whatever dose we

want and without a physician's prescription. Also,

more and more medicines, not just aspirin, be removed

from the " prescription-only " category. After all we

are educated. We know at what dose vitamin A may (not

proven) get toxic and what chelates what. We read the

literature and we are in many areas of health even

more informed than an average physician for the simple

reason that after all who will be more interested in

our health than ourselves? So we read and read day in

and day out to keep ourselves fit. Many of us are more

fit in our age than many a young physician.
