Dr Whiting on Dangerous Drugs

September 6th, 2010 -- Posted in cholesterol medications | 10 Comments »

Dr Whiting on Dangerous Drugs. Modern medicine has sadly, become almost totally drug driven. Many of these dangerous drugs are over-prescribed. This has and will continue to cause many problems for patients. Many drugs have dangerous side effects and when combined with other drugs, they can be deadly. Some of the most common drugs that have been or should be removed from the market include the digestive drugs prilosec and nexium. Prilosec and nexium so completely destroy stomach acids that protein digestion and mineral absorption are almost impossible. Prilosc and nexium, among other similar prescription and over the counter ant-acids solve the digestive problem in the worst possible way. Prilosec and nexium destroy natural stomach acids, which in turn prevents the formation of key enzymes needed for the digestion of foods. There are natural alternatives to these dangerous drugs. Athritis drugs such as Celebex remain on the market in spite of the overwhelming evidence that it greatly increases your risk of heart disease and gallbladder disorders. Celebrex, like Vioxx and Bextra, which were removed from the market, should also be gone. Celebrex, Vioxx and Bextra all greatly increase your risk of heart disease and other disorders. Taking Celebrex, Vioxx or Bextra have already caused thousands of potentially deadly health problems. Since there is a natural alternative to drugs like Celebrex, Vioxx and Bextra that can regulate inflammation, the use of these dangerous drugs is unwise. Statin drugs, a group of drugs designed to regulate cholesterol levels in the blood are also one of the most dangerous groups of drugs. In fact Statin drug users are required to take routine blood tests to check for permanent liver damage. Since the liver is responsible for regulating cholesterol in the first place, taking Statin drugs makes little logical sense. The Statin drug Crestor, like many others, can greatly increase your risk for heart disease. In fact Crestor at just 200 mg per day, a low dose, can increase your risk of heart disease by 50 percent. A dose of Crestor at400 mg per day increases your risk of developing a heart problem by over 100% !!! Natural alternatives that help detoxify and nourish the liver, make the use of these dangerous Statins unnecessary in most cases. Diabetes is the number one epidemic disease in the world, with a new case being diagnosed every 30 seconds!!! Drug companies have worked overtime to find drugs that will treat the diabetic but not cure them. Dangerous Drugs like Avandia and Januvia are among those new drugs. Januvia one of the newest, has serious side effects already and Avandia has proven to be far more dangerous than any potential benefit. Drugs such as Avandia and Januvia can increase insulin production, the very last thing most type II diabetics need. By using Avandia and Januvia you put further stress on the beta cells of the pancreas as well as the insulin receptor site cells. As long as doctors continue to prescribe such dangerous and ineffective drugs like Avandia and Januvia, diabetics will never gain control over their disorder and will certainly never get well. Our natural alternatives to these dangerous drugs have helped thousands of diabetics to lead a normal, healthy life with normal blood sugar and insulin levels.

Helping Patients Avoid Counterfeit Drugs over the Internet

July 28th, 2010 -- Posted in cholesterol medications | 7 Comments »

FDA has previously warned about the risks of buying drugs and other medical products over the Internet. Products bought on the Internet could be fake,sub-potent, or not approved by the FDA. They could also be counterfeit.

FDA recently discovered two different web sites selling a counterfeit version of the weight-loss drug Xenical. In one case, it actually contained another drug, and other samples contained just starch and talc. And that is just one example of the risks people take if they buy drugs over the internet.

An article in a recent issue of “Family Practice Management” gives several tips that practitioners can give to patients to help avoid counterfeit products. One is to advise patients to use only U.S. sites that are licensed by a State board of pharmacy. Some of these sites display the VIPPS seal, which stands for Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Site. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) gives the seal to Internet pharmacies that meet State licensure and other criteria.

The article also suggests advising patients to carefully compare the appearance and packaging of the medicines they buy online with the same medicine they may have gotten in the past from a conventional pharmacy. If the Internet product does not match up exactly, the patient should not use it. The suspected counterfeiting should be reported to the drug manufacturer, and to the FDA through the Medwatch system.

The article lists some of the drugs that are most susceptible to counterfeiting and points outs that counterfeiters tend to favor expensive drugs that are sold in large volume, e.g., anti-cholesterol medications. The article notes that so-called “embarrassment drugs” are widely counterfeited i.e., drugs for conditions that patients may be reluctant to discuss with their doctors. This would include drug such as Viagra, Cialis and Propecia.
