It's sad but true the traditional doctor, in most cases, does not help people get well. In the first place most doctors don't spend enough time with you to find out exactly what ails you.

Then to make matters worse they usually write a prescription for your ailment because that's is all they know what to do. Because most traditional doctors are not educated well enough in medical school about nutrition. They only know how to prescribe a drug to cure your illness.

Getting hooked on prescription drugs is not a smart thing to do. In fact it is more destructive than it is beneficial. All drugs, as you should know, have a variety of side effects that can make you more miserable than before you took them.

Why is the world would you want to subject your body to all those adverse conditions? You are also suppressing the ability of your immune system to function properly too. It's amazing to me to hear of all the stories of people gulping down multiple amounts of prescription drugs everyday.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report that drug overdoses killed 33,000 in 2005, second only to car accidents in the category of accidental deaths. In 1999 the number was 20,000 and in 1990, 10,000 died.

I wonder what the figure is today. I'm sure it must be bigger. Drug overdose can happen when doctors keep prescribing additional medications for their patients.

Consider that 50% of Americans take at least one prescription pill daily. Are these drugs really solving all their problems? Big Pharma spends billions to promote their products on TV, the radio, in print advertising and even puts tremendous pressure on doctors to promote their drugs. Do you know that America is only one of two countries in the world that allows prescription drug ads? The only other country is New Zealand.

What is so disturbing for me is that Big Pharma has a huge grip on the U.S. Congress. Just take a good look at what is happening. Recent Presidential cabinets and the FDA have been stacked with pharmaceutical executives.

The members of Congress who are really concerned about the nation’s health get defeated every time there is legislature presented to protect all nutritional products.

You want to hear a real sad story? Senator Edward Kennedy was a prime supporter in Congress who wanted to have legislation destroy our ability to buy nutritional products. Now what is a real mystery to me is why would he want to do that when he a cancerous brain tumor that could well be caused by him taking statin drugs for his high cholesterol problem and also high blood pressure medicine for that condition too.

Now we all know he finally died when he might have had a chance to treat his disease with natural treatments instead of drugs.

Blood pressure medication typically reduces the flow of nutrition and oxygen to your brain, resulting in acid pH and an environment readily suitable for cancer growth. Now as far as statins are concerned here's even more shocking news to know.

Statins cause cancer for a variety of reasons. A fact that is covered up by the 20 billion dollars a year statin industry with the help of Senators on both sides of the political aisle, like Kennedy, who actively supports the Big Pharma agenda.

In addition to statins causing cancer here is some other things to be concerned about many other drugs. Statins are just one of many drugs that interfere with your normal immune function in multiple ways.

Statins even interfere with core survival systems that are "branches" in the normal production of LDL cholesterol (that's the good cholesterol). In addition important anti-cancer nutrients such as vitamin D and coenzyme Q10 are also reduced by statins.

The disadvantages of taking statin drugs are unbelievably destructive. Even brain cells are weakened by statins. The longer a person stays on these drugs the worse the problem becomes.

All this information just presented is only about statin drugs and high blood pressure medication. This is just a drop in the bucket of the many other prescription drugs that are extremely dangerous to swallow.

It would take page after page of data to list all the prescription drugs that are harmful for you to get hooked on. What is really disturbing is that traditional doctors still prescribe these poisons everyday to their patients.

I can't emphasize it enough folks. Get smart about how to take charge of your health before you destroy it completely.
