The 7 Most Prescribed Drugs In The World And Their Natural Counterparts

Quote :

We don't have to live in a medicated world, but we certainly choose to. The crux of the matter is that we refuse to proactively think about prevention because we re-actively commit to treating the symptoms of underlying health problems. This is the allopathic model. We want the quick fix so we can continue our poor lifestyle and dietary habits. It doesn't have to be this way, but it is. We can blame doctors, the medical institutions and healthcare systems all we want, but self-responsibility is our only recourse if we are ever to surface from this mess. There are no excuses--if you're taking one of these drugs, consult with a Natural Health Practitioner this week about phasing out your medication and phasing in these powerful natural foods and remedies.

Of the over 4 billion prescriptions written every year, the United States and Canada make up more than 80% of the world's prescription opioids (psychoactive medications). Between 1997 and 2012 prescription opioids increased in dosage by almost 500%. Pharmaceuticals and medical errors are now a leading cause of death. Painkillers are the leading cause of accidental death.

In the last 15 years of life, people are experiencing more pain for longer periods than at any point on our historical record. If you think life expectancy has increased to the benefit of mankind, you're not looking at the numbers.

78% of U.S. prescriptions written in 2010 were for generic drugs (both unbranded and those still sold under a brand name). The most prescribed drugs aren't always the best selling drugs, there's a difference.

Prescriptions for pain, cholesterol reduction, high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, antacids, antipsychotics, diabetes and antibiotics make up 100% of the most prescribed drugs.

Make a commitment to yourself right now and start incorporating some of these amazing foods into your diet with no consequence of side effects. When you accept this, you will get off prescription medications for good.

Very interesting. I am currently taking two of the meds on that list. I did not realize how bad the Prilosec could be especially since I have been taking the over the counter Mexican stuff my Grandma sent me. The good thing is most of the garden is in and growing and I have good meat in the freezer. The better I eat the better my health is. I was a very healthy kid growing up on a farm and eating healthy. It wasn't until I joined the military that my health collapsed. The VA has prescribed so many drugs for me and I barely take any of them because when I take them all I just feel sick and run down due to being over medicated and it sucks. But that's the VA's answer for everything. Give them some pills and get rid of them.

Hi J,
I think we should at least give the "natural" a try , don't you? It's only natural . Most of " their" pharma meds just seem to mask symptoms anyway, never getting to the ROOT of the problem OR just often trades off one health ailment for another,

Lots of studies have found that pharma meds (especially in the long run -end up ruining people's liver.!! Hey even taking Tylenol does this!). It seems to be a vicious circle / round about way of treatment, eh? Giving one med to counteract another med, etc , is ridiculous !... ...


Do please try to incorporate some of the alternatives/healthy foods into your eating habits/diet : I believe this a safer , more effective healthier route. Worth a shot, and can't hurt, right!?

There are sO many more alts not listed here on thread, of course, but can be researched online. I am only beginning to get with ''the program'' but I am all for it!

Do want to make mention of this (not exactly food related) but natural : Olive Leaf Extract (tablets) get at healthfood /GNC stores . This is a preventive and comparable to taking antibiotics! So, next time you get sick, try it before heading out to the VA ... Actually, they say it best to take on a daily basis, ..as it is moreso a preventative> Helps aid in keeping our immunity up - which in turn will help our bodies to resist all those unwanted nasty bugs/germs/bacterias..even ward off the viruses!
Soo...

How well does your garden grow? *G* Hey, that's great!! that it is coming along so well! Proud for and OF ya! Hard work, but wayyy better than store bought food... I Love a good garden now!
Unfortunately, the hailstorm damaged several of our plants (its not like a real big garden or anything , there were but a few ...but oh well ...it will be alright.

And I hear ya.... It's like Dope 'em up and ship 'em out!! It's everywhere ..ugh..
Such wonderful care, eh?! /sarc

Not in your shoes by any means, but do realize how sick you can become on certain medications. Sorry you have had such a bad go of it Hope you get/stay feeling better!!

I truly can relate, having had several experiences with reactions to certain meds I took. Thought I was going to die from taking just ONE capsule..., (this twice on separate occasions and different meds/for different ailments) Heart went into panic racing, nausea with such stomach cramps, etc!! , so I was forced to stop the meds immediately! They definitely CAN screw you up ...so I understand from where you are coming! Used to -Growing up with daddy, DOC , I really believed in the medical route, never once knowing of or taking thought to the natural or alternatives or healthy eating. Man, my tune sure has changed! Yes, it is all about what goes in the body. Put crap in , you'll feel like crap ... although some crap DOES taste good lol.

My best to you, J E!!....hope the info here will be of great help to you ...and others!! Hugs, and
Have a great day !
