Do Your Symptoms of Depression, Anxiety and Fear Need To Be Drugged?

Drug Safety, , , , , , , ,

If your mental health care professional tells you that you should take medication for your symptoms of depression, anxiety and fear, is that reason enough to take it?

Would you like some proof that the medication is safe and effective?

You will not find any scientific proof that psychiatric drugs are safe OR effective treatment for any of your symptoms.

In fact, there is proof that they cause the symptoms they are supposed to treat!

Does that sound scientific to you?  Are you aware of the known side effects of psychiatric medication?

You Owe It To Yourself To Find Out the Facts!  Watch the following video with an open mind and judge for yourself.

It will take 2 and a half minutes to convince you that you should know what you are swallowing.

I hope you feel compelled to share this information with your friends and family, because I would hate to see you or them hurt by a hasty decision.

Drugging depression is potentially lethal!

What your doctor “doesn’t know” could kill you!

What YOU don’t know about drugging yourself could kill you!

If the drug companies are powerful enough to get away with what they are doing, then it is up to you and me to spread the word.  Drugging symptoms of depression is not a decision you should make lightly.  Certainly not JUST because your doctor said so!

There is a simple approach to healing depression and mental health. 

You owe it to yourself to try healing without harm BEFORE you succumb to drugs.

Why Shouldn’t You Get the Swine Flu Vaccine?

Drug Safety, , , , , , , , , , ,

The media is scaring the world to death.

Please read what Dr. Mercola has to say about this issue.

YOU and YOUR family need to know this information.  It could save your life!


Critical Alert: The Swine Flu Pandemic – Fact or Fiction?

By Dr. Mercola

American health officials declared a public health emergency as cases of swine flu were confirmed in the U.S. Health officials across the world fear this could be the leading edge of a global pandemic emerging from Mexico, where seven people are confirmed dead as a result of the new virus.

On Monday April 27th, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised its pandemic alert level to four on its six-level threat scale,1 which means they’ve determined that the virus is capable of human-to-human transmission.

The initial outbreaks across North America reveal an infection already travelling at higher velocity than did the last official pandemic strain, the 1968 Hong Kong flu.

The number of fatalities, and suspected and confirmed cases across the world change depending on the source, so your best bet — if you want the latest numbers — is to use Google Maps’ Swine Flu Tracker.

Several nations have imposed travel bans, or made plans to quarantine air travelers2 that present symptoms of the swine flu, such as:

* Fever of more than 100
* Coughing
* Runny nose and/or sore throat
* Joint aches
* Severe headache
* Vomiting and/or diarrhea
* Lethargy
* Lack of appetite

Top global flu experts are trying to predict how dangerous the new swine flu strain will be, as it became clear that they had little information about Mexico’s outbreak. It is as yet unclear how many cases occurred in the month or so before the outbreak was detected. It’s also unknown whether the virus was mutating to be more lethal, or less.

Much Fear Mongering Being Promoted

I suspect you have likely been alarmed by the media’s coverage of the swine flu scare.

It has a noticeable subplot – preparing you for draconian measures to combat a future pandemic as well as forcing you to accept the idea of mandatory vaccinations. Continue reading Why Shouldn’t You Get the Swine Flu Vaccine? →

When You Think Colonoscopy Risks, Do You Think Kidney Damage?

Drug Safety, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

colonoscopy risks

Kidney damage has been linked to a class of drugs that is very commonly given before a colonoscopy.

Do you want to risk the health of your kidneys?

What good will it do to verify your colon health if you are harming your kidneys in the process?

There is a “black box warning” on colon-cleansing drugs containing sodium phosphate, because they have been linked to permanent kidney damage resulting in a lifetime of dialysis as well as a host of other complications!

So WHY are these drugs very commonly prescribed as colon cleansers before a colonoscopy?

Are doctors unaware of the dangers?  Are they cheaper than other similar drugs?

Why the hell would they risk your kidneys?!

Good question!  Though the answer doesn’t really matter.  YOU can watch out for yourself on this one!

When you think colonoscopy risks, THINK about your kidneys!

Refuse these drugs:

  • Visicol
  • OsmoPrep 

These are 2 of the drugs containing sodium phosphate.

A colonoscopy is a relatively safe procedure.  Please don’t risk long term injury by taking these drugs!

Of the few dangers associated with colonoscopy risks, kidney failure is BY FAR the most extreme.

Make sure that the nasty tasting beverage they give you to clean your bowel before your colonoscopy is not one that is linked to kidney failure!

Safer Alternative Precoloscopy-Colon-Cleansing Drugs

  • Miralax
  • Colyte
  • TriLyte

Make sure you are given the safe drug to prep with and then learn how your breathing can make you sick and what you can do about it pre op!

Are your lungs ready for colonoscopy risks?

Is American Heart Month Inspiring Your Low Cholesterol Diet?

Drug Safety, , , , , , , , ,

low cholesterol diet

A healthy heart is truly something to celebrate!

Any inspiration to improve your diet is a good thing.

However, if you are planning to make a contribution to the American Heart Association in honor of American Heart Month, please reconsider.

This “non-profit” organization is so busy supporting the pharmaceutical companies and the “drug it chop it out mentality”, that they have lost sight of the fact that diet and lifestyle are the way to reduce heart disease.

Diet and lifestyle do get a lot of lip service from the American Heart Association, but the cash is spent largely on promoting the profit of drugs and surgery.

With the type of money that is available to the American Heart Association, they should be ashamed of their half hearted effort to support the average American on their journey to change. 

They are doing nothing to fight the poison in our food supply or the early signs of huge trouble from genetically modified foods.

 

Change isn’t easy.

It is much easier to build hype around cholesterol lowering drugs and rake in huge profits.

Efforts to educate and facilitate change will take more than a one day event, or even a month of events.  Support needs to be ongoing.  Bringing people together, in an effort to build community is the answer to reducing heart disease.

Does the American Heart Association have enough money to support Boys and Girls Clubs, so that kids get active early in life?

Do they have enough money to supply churches and community centers with dried beans and grains?

How about supplementing the electric bill for lung disease and heart failure patients when they can’t afford to operate their home oxygen machines?

How about organizing walking and bike riding clubs, or supporting local organizations to do it?

You need support all year, not just for the month of February!

Diet and lifestyle change is a process.  Talking about it, and creating “awareness”, stops short of actual HELP.

The American Heart Association has an army of volunteers.

Every American, including this army of volunteers, should be asking the American Heart Association just where their money is spent.

 

Do You Know How The AMA Spends All That Money?

They claim to have “invested” over 543 million dollars from 2005 to 2006.  The money, they say, was spent first on research and professional and public education, and then in “advocacy” and community service programs.

Americans need to hold this “charity” accountable.  They CAN do more, and they SHOULD do more!

Have You Checked Your Blood Pressure Lately?

Drug Safety, , , , , , ,

have you checked your blood pressure

High blood pressure can develop anytime.

Have you been under a lot of stress lately?

Lori has recently taken on the role of caregiver for her aging relatives.

The increased stress has resulted in her blood pressure climbing.

Fortunately, the tragedy of losing her sister too soon (to untreated high blood pressure) has made her painfully aware that denial, and lack of treatment can be a deadly combination.

She knows that she needs to evaluate her options and take action immediately because this is a life threatening condition.

So far she has been much better about getting out and walking each day.

 

She can’t change the stress that revolves around her, but she can choose to be gentle with herself.

The biggest challenge, she has found, is cutting back on red wine in the evening.  It is such a comfort, and really seems to help the stress so much, that she has had a hard time keeping it under control.

Each day is a new day.  Each day she faces the challenge.

I don’t worry about her.  She is aware that she needs to make changes, and she is always making new goals for herself.

 

Just because you have not had health issues in the past …

That is no guarantee that you will not develop high blood pressure tomorrow.

Do You Use Cough Medicine?

Drug Safety, , , , , ,

Well doesn’t everybody use cough medicine?

Isn’t it a harmless over the counter cold medicine?

 

Over the counter cold medicine is ANYTHING but harmless!

The chemical makeup of cough medicine can be deadly.

You cough up mucus because your body is over loaded with toxicity, and needs to clean house.

 

“Are you saying that germs don’t cause the common cold?”

 

Actually, that is exactly what I am saying.  If your immune system is up to snuff, no “germ” will “attack” you.

If germs caused the common cold, then everyone would get sick EVERY TIME they were exposed to germs.

So if you get a “cold” it is because your immune system is weakened.

In fact, snot and fever are a couple of ways that your body attempts to purify your system and strengthen your immune system.

Cough medicine is more harmful than beneficial to children.

Even if you aren’t a child, your cough is necessary to clear your lungs.  If you suppress your cough, Continue reading Do You Use Cough Medicine? →
