Drug Company Ads

Have you noticed the increase of drug companies going
straight to the public on TV to create interest for their products?

And what about all those side effects? For depression, one drug
company claims that suicide is a side effect. Excuse me, but isn't the
reason to be taking anti-depression drugs?

And what about prostrate problems. The side effects for
surgery are de-humanizing. And the side effects for the
drugs are not much better. Now I am not a doctor. That said,
I heard a doctor suggest Cinnamon and Saw Palmetto to
shrink the prostrate.

So I tried them and they worked wonderfully. My doctor was
surprised and when I told him about what I was taking. He just
looked at me and asked why I did not take the prescription he
had given me. My only answer was that the side effects were
not acceptable.

Now, I am looking at the side effects of high blood pressure.
WOW!!! One side effect is heart attack. OK, its not that everyone
might get a heart attack from taking Dovian or Benacar (trademark
names). Its that there is the risk when there are non-drug alternatives.

SO I increased my walking exercising, reduced my raw sugar (the hardest part),
eat 85% dark chocolate, sprinkle cinnamon on my cereal in the morning
and have reduced my weight by 10% - working towards a 20% reduction
in weight from my all-time high weight. And I learned to deep breathe.
I practice deep breathing several times a day to reduce the number of times
a minute I breathe. All by itself, that lowers my blood pressure.

Would that be a prescription a doctor would give you??? No Way. The first
thing they would reach for is the prescription pad. WHY??? Because that is
how doctors are trained - by the drug companies.

Is your doctor trained in the alternative medications? Ask. Remember, it was
the AMA that said that Vitamin C gave no protection from colds. Yeah right!
It took the AMA 20 years to accept that vitamin C is beneficial. And now the AMA
is getting on the vitamin D track. They learned this from the alternative medicines
practitioners. The people in the health food stores.

So always ask your doctor if there are alternatives to any prescription they want to
give you. And always ask about the side effects...

And that's the way I see it...
