As an over 60 person, I take 1 Rx and then a dozen supplements. So it isn't all of us, but once you pass 50, staying healthy takes a lot of work. Exercising regularly and eating well can be a challenge for seniors on fixed incomes. And my parents from the greatest generations treated their doctors like gods and did everything they said, and meds were what they believed kept you healthy. We boomers grew up seeing that, so it has been a hard change to avoid docs and use alternative medicine and modalities to stay healthy.
