Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter (speaker) asserts that he would never rely solely on medications and criticizes the American medical system as too quick to prescribe pills. He advocates addressing root causes—weight loss, increased activity, lifestyle changes—and using constructive, conservative treatments for joint problems rather than narcotics or symptom-only approaches.
I would never rely solely on medications. The American medical system is a pill mill. How often have we gone to our doctor and just gotten a pill for our symptom? Well, instead of just treating your symptom with some medication or narcotic, let's get to the root cause of your problem. Let's help you lose weight. Let's help you get active, let's help you make some changes, and let's treat your joint with a constructive healing method that is better for you.
