Wellness Without Medication, Who Knew?

It seems the current medical industry has  been abducted by the pharmaceutical industry. In our society we have become so blinded by the Big Pharma propaganda. Once you are labeled with a disease or a condition most of the  medications prescribed have horrible side effects and can lead to other issues but in reality these medications only mask the real issue at hand.

“Our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Our drugs kill around 200,000 people in America every year, and half of these people die while they do what their doctors told them—so they die because of the side-effects,” said Dr. Gotzsche in his recent interview. “The other half die because of errors—and it’s often the doctors that make the errors because any drug may come with 20, 30 or 40 warnings, contraindications, precautions…and then the patients die.”

 NSAIDs as an example of only one group of medications, are fatally toxic to thousands of people each year by damaging joints, lungs, kidneys, eyes, hearts, and intestines and they are covered by insurance companies.

This should come to you as no surprise but some  physicians actually receive compensation from the drug industry aka “Big Pharma”. (Choudhry, JAMA 2002; 287: 612-617). Also, our part of the government that is in charge of approving drugs called the FDA has advisers with financial ties  (and is heavily lobbied by) the very drug industry that is seeking its approval. And as the New England Journal of Medicine and Journal of the American Medical Association warm, even the hired clinical investigators for new drugs may have their price. ‘  Did you know that 70 percent of Americans  are taking prescription drugs? 

Even some of our most prestigious journals publish research based on falsified studies, according to Charles Seife, a journalism professor whose class spent a semester trying to figure out why the data doesn’t get corrected once research fraud comes to light.  “As a result,” Seife writes, “nobody ever finds out which data is bogus, which experiments are tainted, and which drugs might be on the market under false pretenses.”. Is Big Pharma America’s New Mafia?

Here’s a crazy idea: Why not give your body a chance to heal itself?

Most of your “conditions” and labels are a lack of the proper nutrition and/or vitamins and minerals. Why not do a little research and find what is causing your disorder? Look up what nutritional steps you need to start taking. What environmental things have an effect on your disorder and start avoiding that.  Why not give you body a fighting chance to heal the issue at hand with herbs, specific vitamins & other natural supplements.  In each stage of  our lives our bodies change and we must learn to adapt and adjust what it needs. Trust me when I say, there certainly isn’t a substitute for figuring out the real underlying reason for your “condition”.  I am not saying try this solely on your on I would  recommend that you get qualified practitioner that will be able to order the appropriate tests for you, and also help you interpret them.

Light Bulb Moment: Why can’t we cure what ails us without pharmaceuticals? 

Now, if you read anything in this blog make sure you hear me when I say, ” Don’t stop taking your medications”. You need to work with a doctor ,be monitored and follow their instructions. Your body might need those prescriptions and if you suddenly stop taking them, it might kill you. Therefore, you need to closely work with a Certified Naturopath Doctor in your area.

Did you know that Vitamins A, C, E, zinc, selenium, garlic, coconut oil, omega-3 fatty acids  have the ability to lower blood pressure, boost the immune system or also offer anti-viral properties? its  NEVER too late to do something to improve your health.

Dr Sherry Rogers has written many books on various health issues. Check her out .. She might have what your needing to get you  started in the right direction. click on this link and it will lead you to a list of her books. 

Here are 3 simple things you can do to start healing your body:

A. Start feeding your body the fuel and tools it needs to work best. Good food, nutrients and all the proper vitamins, minerals and antioxidants needed daily. Get with a Certified Naturopath Doctor in your area.   to make sure you aren’t deficient in any of the major nutrients because they all work together.

B. Start a detox program. By allowing the crap to come out your body can start to detoxify out all the toxic and harmful substances  that you’ve allowed to build up over time. Read labels and become away of all the harmful  toxins that are in so many products and in our food supply. Your body is probably full of inflammation so start consuming foods that fight inflammation.

C. Look at your body as a whole so it can begin healing. You entire body works together and if one area is affected its like a domino affect on the other areas. It puts a strain on the other areas and they have to work harder to pull the weight of that area that not working like it should. So, start working on Reducing your body’s total load. You health condition has a root cause. Once you start addressing the root of your problems is when your body can start healing itself. Your body is an awesome design but there is a complex balance between everything. It’s a domino affect. Three things you must start t doing immediately is getting your immune system in check, fixing your unhealthy gut  and decreasing inflammation. Inflammation disrupts the production and regulatory mechanisms of  hormones.  Sometimes we have to do a little pruning of the branches, in order for the tree to be healthy again.
