A DRUG is not always the FIX ALL

America has been a "drugged nation" for so long that the public thinks it is a natural thing to do. The effects of all the prescription drugs on the human body is like a double edge sword. Many people are over medicated, and even more people have died from the negative side effects of the prescription drugs.

At this point in time the WHO, has weighed in on the over use of antibiotics. It does not look good.
Here is some of the information from their meeting.

Again, it looks like we really need to boost our immune systems more now than ever.
There are way to many drugs on the market that have serious long term negative side effects. There has to be a better way for us to live and be healthy without assaulting our liver, kidneys, thyroid, intestines and body with drug after drug. We must be proactive about our health.

Common infections and minor scratches could soon kill because antibiotics are becoming useless against new superbugs, World Health Organization warns.

A child’s scratched knee from falling off their bike, common bladder infections among the elderly in care homes and routine surgery to replace broken hips could all become fatal as antibiotics are becoming increasingly useless, the World Health Organization has said.

The crisis is bigger and more urgent than the Aids epidemic of the 1980s, it was warned.

UK experts said the ‘era of safe medicine is coming to an end’ and government funds must be pumped into the production of new drugs.

In the foreword to the report Dr Keiji Fukuda, WHO’s Assistant Director-General for Health Security, wrote: “A post-antibiotic era — in which common infections and minor injuries can kill — far from being an apocalyptic fantasy, is instead a very real possibility for the 21st century.”

He said: “Unless we take significant actions to improve efforts to prevent infections and also change how we produce, prescribe and use antibiotics, the world will lose more and more of these global public health goods and the implications will be devastating.”

He said modern medicine, from the treatment of urinary tract infections and pneumonia in babies to chemotherapy and kidney dialysis are under threat.

 “What do we do when we have infections we cannot treat or when we lose the ability to protect people when having chemotherapy? I think there are very concrete implications, ” he said. 

Heart Disease Factor

As a Naturopathic doctor I caution my clients in regards to their nutrition. The foods you eat play a very important role in your health and healing process.

For years I have told my clients to reduce their red meat consumtion. It takes a lot of digestive energy to digest red meat. I was also concerned that those animals the meat came from had been exposed to unhealthy chemicals, hormone and living conditions.

Through the years I noticed that people who ate red meat daily seem to have more aches and pain of various kinds and locations. My suggestion to them was to limit the red meat to 6 oz. no more than twice weekly and to increase their veggie and water intake.Their aches and pains started to decreased within two weeks.

When this study came out I was not surprized. Your first step to better health is better nutrition.

A type of iron found only in red meat is associated with an increase in the risk of heart disease, a new review finds.

Researchers analyzed 21 studies that included more than 292,000 people who were followed for an average of 10 years. They found a link between consuming heme iron  which is only in red meat -- and a 57 percent increased risk of heart disease.

In contrast, consuming non-heme iron -- found in vegetables, other non-meat sources and iron supplements -- was not associated with the risk of heart disease, according to the researchers at the Indiana University School of Public Health at Bloomington.

"Heme iron is absorbed at a much greater rate in comparison to non-heme iron [37 percent vs. 5 percent]," the researchers said in a university news release. "Once absorbed, it may contribute as a catalyst in the oxidation of [bad cholesterol], causing tissue-damaging inflammation." This inflammation is a potential risk factor for heart disease.

The study was recently published online ahead of print in the Journal of Nutrition.

So, with this information in mind, think about what your put in your body, how much of it you put in your body, and why you are putting it in your body.
