Wow
Antibiotics, Cancer treatment, treatments for depression, MS, asthma, parasites, high blood pressure, contraception. All these looking after members of my immediate family, in cases saving their and my life. Yet you say my trust is misplaced and foolhardy. Guess you must have a very healthy family.
Not strictly speaking, but I would certainly argue that there are effective alternative ways to treat some of the conditions you mention. that can avoid putting poisons into your system and suffering the consequences. It's always a balancing act, between the benefit of the drug and the damage that it does to your body and natural immune system.
For example, Blood Pressure medication can lead to malabsorption, resulting in poor immune system, osteoporosis, water retention, muscle spasms, muscle pain and heart arrythmias as well as damaging your liver and kidneys. Some scientists argue that the current levels for extablishing the requirement for treatment of blood pressure are uneccesarily low. There are alternative options for treatment particularly at the lower end of the spectrum can be very effective...Diet, Weight Loss, Vitamin D, B, C & K, Potassium, Magnesium, reduced Sodium, Eliminating Alcohol and natural remedies such as Hawthorn. (There's even questions been raised recently whether Ace Inhibitors and Ace Receptor Blockers (two of the most common Blood Pressure medications) might make users more susceptable to more severe Covid19 effects.
Exercise, Breathing Exercise, Cold Therapy, Yoga, Meditation & Diet, again Vitamin D (which most of us are deficient) and B complex are also helpful in the treatment of depression & anxiety.
Contraception is certainly not something I would be happy with a partner or children being on for anything other than a relatively short period, yet Doctors hand them out like sweets, without properly communicating the risks.
Pharmaceuticals have their place of course....I can see the benefit in acute care for example and obviously they can be beneficial in circumdtances where they offer relief from something far worse, but they sre certainly over-prescribed.
Other drugs that they are handing out to all and sundry these days are PPI's (protein pump inhibitors) you may have heard of Omeprazol, Lansoprazol etc... They are used for acid suppression and disorder such as GERD... These are killers, they strip your body of nutrients, cause cancers, heart problems, pancreatitis, bone loss etc..
Proper medication reviews for long terms patients are often missed, one form of medication often leads to requirements for another... For example, PPI's are often prescribed to people using NSAID's and other drugs, due to them causing stomach problems, acid reflux and so on..
There is no profit in cure...
