In most cases for whom? And what cases are you referring to? Are you saying that pharmaceuticals work better than meditation for every single person, not just yourself, and for all ailments?
No, I'm saying based on scientific research they work relatively well for more people who participated in a study than a placebo. It's far from a perfect system of measuring efficacy however it's certainly a better system than anecdotal information.
Quote:I took pharmaceuticals for years. They didn't solve the problem that I had at all. It only numbed me and made me dead to the world. Which was like a band-aid on a gunshot wound to the heart. I won't ever be taking any derivative of fluorine / fluoride ever again, I can tell you that much. I was shocked that one of the most popular anti-depressants that I was taking was just another fluoride derivative.
Presently I am probably almost as much of a wreck as many others that I've seen on here complaining of anxiety. I just stoically try to hide it while trying to come up with a solution to my big problem of trying to scrape by until the big changes start really coming, in which case I will finally start feeling more useful.
It sucks that it didn't work for you, but part of the reason I avoided pharmaceuticals and even going to a doctor for a help is because on the websites I frequented the majority of people there insisted pharmaceuticals are useless at best and evil, toxic brainwashing tools at worst.
