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.

Welcome to the Pulse Three-Point-Eighteen: In this episode we talk about a health issue that affects nearly one in every three Americans. We’re talking about high cholesterol.
About half of women and two thirds of men in the United States develop heart disease — due to high cholesterol. Cholesterol naturally exists in our bodies and is necessary for your health– but high levels of bad cholesterol can be deadly. Icyou tells you what you need to know about cholesterol, so that you can maintain a healthy balance.
In this video, Dr. Marc Jacobson discusses why we need a certain level of cholesterol in the first place. He explains that ithelps cell membranes structure and function. For example, it’s the basis for many hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. He says it is important that we have cholesterol in every cell.
The issue is a concern for many Americans, and you or someone you know is probably affected by high levels of cholesterol. It can often be helpful to hear from someone who has dealt with the health concern.
In this video, you’ll hear from Paul DiMeo of Extreme Makeover – Home Edition. A physician informed DiMeo of his high cholesterol at a routine visit. DiMeo explains how he attempted to lower his cholesterol naturally with diet and exercise — followed by a prescription statin. Dr. Gerald DeVaughn shares his medical advice regarding diet and exercise to reduce one’s risk of complications caused by high cholesterol.
These videos explain the importance of a healthy cholesterol level, but how can we achieve and maintain these goal levels? Diet and exercise is enough for many, but sometimes genetics or significantly high levels of cholesterol require a patient to take prescription medications.
On the RealQuestions.TV Channel, a couple of different videos offer advice on how often to exercise and what to eat in order to lower your cholesterol. In one video, Dr. Steve Nissen recommends patients exercise a minimum of twenty to thirty minutes three days a week. And in a second video Dr. Roberta Lee suggests eating foods high in fiber, such as stone cut oats and cold water fish.
For one last piece of expert advice, check out The Pulse blog for an exclusive guest post courtesy of Home Health Testing’s Robyn Schelenz.
Robyn prepares us for those summer barbeques by providing food alternatives for the cholesterol-conscious. She suggests eating gelato rather than ice cream and testing your own cholesterol with a home cholesterol test available through the Home Health Testing website.
