PHARMACEUTICALS AREN'T ONLY ANSWER

Laura Needham believes that we should entrust our health to only drugs
purchased at a licensed pharmacy. If pharmaceuticals are so safe, then
why are there millions being sued? Death is not a side effect; it is a
permanent result.

According to what Needham said at the May 3 City Council meeting, she
was warned, when her husband, a physician, interviewed at Billings
Clinic, "Billings is a rough town." So they decided to stay against
advisement?

I am truly blessed to entrust my health to a physician who explores
all avenues for the care of his patients. He is an exceptional, highly
educated, devoted and holistic doctor. He is open-minded, does his
research and advises his patients accordingly. Not only does he treat
the anatomical components of his patients, but he tunes into their
mental and spiritual needs as well. He prescribed what was available
at the time. When another option became accessible, he asked that I
consider that opportunity.

After years of suffering with chronic pain, I now only use medical
marijuana for pain relief, thereby eliminating several of those "safe"
pharmaceutical chemicals. I now live a full, productive, enjoyable and
active life.

Sometimes we have to put up with a little bad to have a lot of
good.
