Dangers of overuse of prescription medication
The dangers of overuse of prescription medication
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but Will
interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet
and in the cause and prevention of disease."
Thomas Edison
The more we read about prescription medicines the more
convinced we are that if at all possible, stay away.
Western medicine is concerned solely with treating the symptoms
of a condition after they become visible. Treatment of these
symptoms mostly involves prescribing some kind of product
produced by "Big Pharma".
Truth be told most doctors don't know what the drug contains and
get most of their information from the drug reps that call on
them. "Kinda" the fox watching the hen house.
Deaths from prescription drugs have moved to the number four
killer of Americans with over 100,000 dying annually. This is
roughly three times the number killed each year in automobile
accidents.
Eastern medicine on the other hand deals primarily with disease
prevention. In historic China a doctor was considered
incompetent if one of his patients fell ill.
We as Americans need to begin to take a more active prevention
stance when it comes to our health.
Many of the chronic conditions that affect us are now thought to
be diet and nutrition related.
Quite frankly a lot of the information being presented to the
general public is nothing more than marketing junk.
People
aren't aware of what is or isn't bad information if they
don't have a basic understanding of nutrition, toxins, and their
impact on the body.
This misinformation deals with all supplementation including
weight loss or diet pills, cures for "new conditions", such as
restless leg syndrome, etc. People must become more
knowledgeable about what goes into their body, what the side
effects are, and what the risk / benefit scenario looks like.
Even the overuse of antibiotics is causing a major concern among
researchers. Since our bodies see these drugs so often some
bacteria are developing a resistance to them.
The fear is a mutant strain of infection that is immune to
antibiotics could be catastrophic.
Once again, people need to become educated and take
responsibility for their wellness.
We are so used to instant gratification; we are unwilling to
look at anything that requires effort on our part. Someone will
provide a pill for whatever ails us, whether it be obesity, or
cancer, or restless legs, whatever that is.
People simply must take responsibility for what happens to their
bodies and stop allowing marketing firms to make their decisions
for them.
