Because of medicalization, medical jurisdiction has increased into areas not previously seen as medically defined problems.

Which is absolutely how it goes. Consider turning "moods" into a medical disorder. How on earth does feeling sad qualify as a disorder?

This is a pattern for medicine. It takes something applicable to a very small number of people and extends it to everyone. As an example, very few people that feel sad are truly, medically, pathologically "depressed." Most are just making bad choices and feeling regret, or not sleeping enough, or not eating well, or not getting enough sun, or not exercising enough. But of course, they get labeled as "depressed" along with the very few who truly have a messed up neurologic system. And of course get placed on the same meds. Which have their own undesirable consequences for taking them.

Or take gastritis/reflux. Very few people have a "hypersecretory" condition where they make too much acid. A couple percent in the entire population at best. The rest may have an irritated GI system, and discomfort is a symptom of this -- but the solution is to calm the irritation. Whether that means less preservatives, less chlorine, less fluoride, less carbs, less food, more water -- whatever, that is the solution to the problem.

But instead, everyone gets put on medications to block the production of stomach acid -- and get left on these meds for years even though the meds were only approved for up to 2 weeks of continuous use because the consequences of blocking stomach acid continually are really bad -- mineral and vitamin deficiencies, overgrowth of pathological bacteria and fungi, and a further messed up GI system because we keep dumping food into the bioreactor of our intestines without putting it through the necessary first step of acidification.

Love your thorough research and bibliography, by the way!
