How your daily prescription pills could be draining your body of vital vitamins (and what you can do about it!) Hint: stop taking them.

I read this and was surprised the media is reporting on these hidden side effects of big pharma drugs. Many people don't realize that these pills slow down your bodies abortions of nutrients so the drugs can be in your system for a longer time. They have to do that because this shit isn't normal for your body to absorb but it can cause even bigger problems down the road if your not absorbing enough vitamins and minerals as a result.

The best advice I can give to people is don't buy these big pharma drugs. Look for alternatives like in natural medicine that don't have serious side effects.

What many people may not realise is that their medication — while combatting chronic and even life-threatening conditions — could also be depriving them of vital minerals and vitamins, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, depression, loss of sex drive and muscle pains.

They can even cause crumbly bones, as Julie Sharp discovered (see box below) — she has severe asthma, and at 32, she’s also just been diagnosed with osteoporosis. This is a condition usually associated with old age, but the high-dose oral steroids she needs for her asthma affected the absorption of vital bone minerals including calcium and vitamin D.

It's almost like big pharma doesn't want you to be healthy when you take their drugs so when you have get depressed or get osteoporosis you turn to your doctor to prescribe you even more big pharma drugs.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies as side-effects of medication don’t get as much attention from doctors, pharmacists or patients as they should, admits Heidi Wright, practice and policy lead for England at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. ‘This is particularly true where patients are on two or three drugs that inhibit the same pathway [have a similar mode of action], which a lot of elderly people are.

I posted an article a couple months ago related to this article about how a study found that many over the counter drugs and prescription increase your chances of getting depression. Very common drugs like birth control and ibuprofen increase you rise of depression

It's not just medications: A third of U.S. adults take medications that can cause depression, study finds

We have a drug problem in this country but it's not the illegal drugs causing most of the problems. It seems like all these big pharma drugs have multiple side effects and are probably making people sicker not healthier. I personally don't take any big pharma drugs except for maybe some nyquil when I have a really bad cold and can't sleep at night but that's it. I've also fixed several of my own health problems with increased nutrition and change of diet and it worked amazing well without the risk of side effects too.

My advice is simple stay away from big pharma drugs that have major side effects and look into natural medicine to fix your health problems because big pharma is to busy making money by scamming you with crappy quality drugs.

I totally agree, I dumped all prescriptions and replaced what I needed with herbals. They are actually repairing the problems the prescriptions were only treating. I recommend a book called "The Green Pharmacy" by James A. Duke Ph.D. for a reference book on Herbals.

Be Blessed! :)

Great post it is particularly vital to take COQ-10 if you are prescribed statins for high cholesterol.
edit: I would also say many other natural herbal and dietary methods exist for high cholesterol outside of statins.

yup like avoiding processed foods with trans fats like the plague.

Exactly.

I have a good reference book about Pharmaceutical-Vitamin-Herbal medicine contraindications, I'll take a pic and show you it.

It’s scary how many pills each person takes. It’s even scarier how people are brainwashed into trusting their doctors over themselves to take care of their health. And if you turn to natural remedies instead of “professional” help, we’ll then, you are putting yourself in danger.. sigh.

Exactly. We hear about this, the gal that got detained for months by doctors at Mayo clinic and you wonder why folks give these doctors so much credibility.

I’m not up on the news, do you have a link I could read the story at? What ever happens to the patient’s right to refuse treatment?

Sorry for the late comment but that's insane! Even Ibuprofen can cause depression? They want us all on psychiatrics so they can control us better, and what an easy way to do it by "being there for us" for other ailments.

It sure looks like they want us all on the medical plantation.

Great article my dear
Resteemed!!!!
