The
fallacy that somehow these advertised drugs make you
all better is, anything but the truth. The truth is
- that non-prescription and prescription drugs do NOT
make you healthier; they have the propensity to harm
you and even can cause other diseases. Here are some
examples:
* Aprotinin - The front page of a September 2006 New
York Times newspaper reported that the FDA issued a
warning that this antifibrinolytic drug who’s manufacturer
is “Bayer”, could cause renal failure, congestive heart
failure and even death.
* Vioxx - This dangerous FDA-approved drug caused such
horrific damage and loss of life that there was a jury
verdict for $253 million against the giant drug company
Merck.
We could go down the list of hundreds of dangerous prescription
drugs and still hundreds more of dangerous non-prescription
drugs that when either taken in high doses or when accidentally
mixed, people are dying.
The astonishing thing is that the FDA approves these
drugs and allows television commercials to be used to
promote these various drugs as being safe and effective.
Many argue that in a crisis situation, some of these
drugs can be effective in making a patient more comfortable
by suppressing symptoms. In other instances, they can
even be instrumental in prolonging life. This may be
true in some cases, but how do you know when to use
them or not?
Here
are 3 major points to keep in mind:
1)
Be properly informed! With all of the recent deaths
associated with taking these various types of drugs,
look at it as a major warning sign, before you rush
to get a prescription filled. If you have to absolutely
have to use these drugs, do so sparingly and not for
every minor ailment.
2)
Find out what the root cause of your illness really
is. Basic understanding of good health dictates
that most illnesses have underlying causes resulting
from nutritional deficiencies and toxic overload. Many
times this can be through harmful things put into the
body and/or through the environment itself.
3)
Seek professional alternative and natural methods
for treating your condition whenever possible. Homeopathic
medicine is an amazingly safe and very effective alternative.
Appropriate information is readily available to empower
you and those you love and care about, but we have to
read and educate “ourselves”. It is believed that if
you want to keep people in ignorance, put it in writing.
We should all challenge that theory and gain all the
knowledge we can - to take control over our health!
