Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz, Oh What A Side Effect It Is? This quote is both a mixture of the drug company's advertising and the truth about side effects. It has become very alarming to me that one out of every two people I meet today take some type of medication (Sinus, Heart, Ritalin, Blood Pressure, Stomach, Antibiotic, etc.). Every medication has a side effect to your body. Health cannot be restored from the outside in - it is restored from the inside out. Hear is a list of some of the side effects of many of the common medications taken today. - Research showed that rats and mice with artificially induced cancer showed an increased rate of tumor growth when they were given Prozac and other Antidepressants. - High doses of acetaminophen (Tylenol) - the primary ingredient in many over-the-counter pain relievers - cause liver injury. - Women who subject themselves to estrogen replacement therapy may be more than twice as likely to get breast cancer than women who do not take the hormone. - The American Heart Association found that taking more than 15 aspirin tablets per week - what researchers consider a high dose - doubles the risk of developing a hemorrhagic stroke, caused by bleeding in the brain. - Up to 2 million people are hospitalized, and 140,000 die each year from the side effects to prescription drugs. (USA Today) - Taking more than 365 aspirin in a year, or 1000 in your lifetime, doubles the odds of developing kidney disease. - 180,000 die each year partly as a result of iatrogenic (physician induced) injury, the equivalent of three jumbo-jet crashes every 2 days. - Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) include many over-the-counter preparations such as aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, Aleve, Naprosyn and others. These drugs may increase gastro-intestinal bleeding. - NSAID's are linked to an estimated 7,600 deaths and 76,000 hospitalizations a year. - Tylenol (or Acetaminophen) is the leading cause of drug fatalities in the U.S. (2nd to Cocaine). - Acetaminophen fatalities, which include both accidental and suicidal cases, dominate statistics gathered by poison control centers. Note: Hospitals are not required to report cases. - Dr. Leape from Harvard said, 'Medicine is now a high hazard industry like aviation. The chance of dying from an aviation accident is 1 in 200 million, but the chance of dying in a medical accident is 1 in 200.' - 106,000 Adverse Drug Reactions - The December 18th JAMA study found that amoxicillin is not effective in the treatment of persistent asymptomatic middle ear effusion (fluid build-up) in infants and children. It concluded that children who took the drug were 2 to 6 times more likely to have a recurrence of fluid buildup than those receiving a sugar pill or placebo. The September 12th, 1994, Time Magazine survey of nearly 700 children showed a disturbing link between children using antibiotics with developmental delays. SF Chiropractic Clinic In Tampa for your Back Pain, Auto accident injuries, Neck Pain, Monday to Saturday right - The survey, which concluded... Nearly 75% of the delayed children were reported to be developing normally in their first year of life.
Damaging effects of Ritalin can include:
- Decreased blood flow to the brain, an effect recently shown to be caused by cocaine where it is associated with impaired thinking ability and memory loss... - Disruption of growth hormone, leading to suppression of growth in the body and brain of the child... - Permanent neurological tics, including Tourette's Syndrome... - Addiction and abuse, including withdrawal reactions on a daily basis... - Psychosis (mania), depression, insomnia, agitation, and social withdrawal... - Possible shrinkage (atrophy) or other permanent physical abnormalities in the brain... - Worsening of the very symptoms the drug is supposed to improve including hyperactivity and inattention... - Decreased ability to learn. - Prozac has been implicated in numerous suicides and acts of violence and can cause nausea, nervousness and insomnia. Those are just the tip of the Iceberg. In MacLean's article, Dr Lorne Brandes, a Winnipeg cancer researcher, stated that there was evidence that Prozac and some other widely used drugs may promote the growth of cancerous tumors. - In May 1997, the Carcinogen Assessment Committee of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that the ingredient used in Ex-Lax (phenolphthalein) has been linked to cancer. ALL of the laboratory rats subjected to high doses of the drug contracted cancer within 6 months. - Drugs like Tagamet and Zantec stop digestion of protein especially (because they both stop HCL production), A.C. Millet (Nutrition expert) explains. Was HCL mistakenly put into our digestion process? I don't think so. Antacids interfere with HCL release and can upset body chemistry resulting in other problems. Long-term use can lead to serious conditions (gastrointestinal complications) - Cholesterol Drugs like cholestryamine, which have a long list of side effects, including a decrease in the ability of the blood to clot. Furthermore, animal studies have shown the drug to cause intestinal cancer. Also, this and other drugs have been linked to depressive illnesses, sexual dysfunction, skin rashes and digestive problems. As always, health cannot come from the outside or a pill, health comes from within, and a properly functioning nervous system is the essential key. Isn't it time we stopped looking for health in the bottom of a pill bottle. A better functioning nervous system means a better functioning YOU. Spinal subluxations interfere with the working of the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments correct spinal subluxations. It's as simple as that. My Philosophy Is Chiropractic First, Medicine Second and Surgery Last.
