There's a pill for that...

In traditional medicine doctors are trained to identify a disease or health challenge and treat the symptom. You have high blood pressure, your doctor prescribes a pill to treat your high blood pressure. You have high cholesterol, your doctor prescribes a pill like Zocor, Crestor or Lipitor to lower your cholesterol. You have heartburn, your doctor prescribes Prilosec or Nexium.

The list goes on and on. Then when the drug they prescribed you causes another problem because they robbed your body of nutrients that allow your body to work properly, they prescribe you another pill.

Virtually all the drugs mentioned above deplete your body of B Vitamins and some CoQ10. Deficiencies in these nutrients can lead to anemia, as well as nerve and brain damage, heart disease and more.

Dr Sheryl Duchess, a Naturopath Doctor, says “there are no fences in your body. Each of our body systems are connected and interact with each other. When one of our body systems becomes out of balance, it can affect the entire health and balance of our body.”

If all your doctor does for you is run test that reveal health problems and just treats the problem with a pill or surgery instead of looking for the underlying cause, you may want to continue looking for alternatives. Some area of your body needs cleansing or nourished.
