8 Drugs Doctors Would Never Take

Doctors know which prescription and over-the-counter drugs are the most dangerous. The writers of this article asked them the question, "Which medications would you skip?" Here were their answers:

Advair

It's asthma medicine that can make your asthma deadly. Advair contains the long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) salmeterol. A 2006 analysis found that regular use of LABAs can increase the severity of an asthma attack. Researchers estimate that salmeterol may contribute to as many as 5,000 asthma-related deaths in the United States each year.

Avandia

Diabetes is destructive enough on its own, but if you try to control it with rosiglitazone, better known as Avandia, it could cause a heart attack. A study found that people who took rosiglitazone for at least a year increased their risk of heart failure or a heart attack by 109 percent and 42 percent, respectively.

Celebrex

This painkiller has been linked to increased risks of stomach bleeding, kidney trouble, and liver damage. And according to a 2005 study, people taking 200 mg of Celebrex twice a day more than doubled their risk of dying of cardiovascular disease. Those on 400 mg twice a day more than tripled their risk.

Ketek

This antibiotic, which has traditionally been prescribed for respiratory-tract infections, carries a high risk of severe liver side effects. In February 2007, the FDA limited the usage of Ketek to the treatment of pneumonia.

Prilosec and Nexium

The FDA has investigated a suspected link between cardiac trouble and these acid-reflux remedies, although they did not find a "likely" connection. But whether this is true or not, they can raise your risk of pneumonia, and result in an elevated risk of bone loss. The risk of a bone fracture has been estimated to be over 40 percent higher in patients who use these drugs long-term.

Visine Original

These eye drops “get the red out” by shrinking blood vessels. Overuse of the active ingredient tetrahydrozoline can perpetuate the vessel dilating-and-constricting cycle and may cause even more redness.

Pseudoephedrine

This decongestant, found in many drugs, can raise blood pressure and heart rate, setting the stage for vascular catastrophe. Over the years, pseudoephedrine has been linked to heart attacks and strokes, as well as worsening the symptoms of prostate disease and glaucoma.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

Seemingly positive and helpful articles like these really highlight how pervasive the conventional drug culture is. Although these drugs are exposed as being dangerous and best avoided at all costs, the writer failed miserably in providing “healthier” alternatives; in all cases but two, merely citing alternative drug treatments.

Folks, there are far better alternatives than drugs that fail to address your underlying problem. My schedule prevents me from expanding a comment on all of these, but you can always use the search engine on the site (at the top of every page) for an expanded review of the items I did not review. But let’s take a look at three of them now.

A Better Strategy for Asthma

Increasing allergies and asthma may be in large part due to the more sterile environments we are now living in and the widespread continued use of antibiotics, anti-bacterial soap, and vaccinations. This theory, known as the "hygiene hypothesis" has been discussed in my newsletter numerous times.

Other reasons of course include all the environmental toxins that you are exposed to, such as solvents, pesticides and heavy metals such as mercury. Vaccinations and unresolved emotional stresses are also likely significant factors in most individuals.

Advair is clearly not a healthy option to prevent or control your asthma, but neither are inhaled corticosteroids, which this MSN Health article recommends.

According to research published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1997, people who inhale corticosteroid drugs are at increased risk for developing cataracts (a loss of transparency of your eye's lens).

According to that study, cataracts affecting the central (nuclear) area of the lens were 50 percent more prevalent among those who used inhaled corticosteroids compared with people who never used the drugs. Additionally, cataracts affecting the back (posterior) surface of the lens -- the most visually disabling type -- were 90 percent more prevalent among steroid users.

Other asthma drugs that contain triamcinolone can have an adverse effect on your bone mineral density, and effectively lowers your immune system, making you more prone to infections of all kinds.

Instead of relying on asthma and allergy drugs that carry the risk of debilitating side effects, here are a few viable alternatives and guidelines to help you prevent or manage your asthma naturally.

Apples and selenium – Research has found that eating at least two apples per week can reduce your asthma risk by 22 to 32 percent. And, people with the highest intakes of selenium ( 54 to 90 micrograms a day) have been found to be about half as likely to have asthma as those who consumed the least amount of selenium (about 23 to 30 micrograms daily) Vitamin E -- Since asthma involves increased levels of free radicals (oxidants), antioxidants such as vitamin E may reduce the likelihood of asthma by reducing levels of these compounds Healthy exposure to bacteria and viruses – There’s a strong hypothesis that exposure to viral infections or endotoxins in early childhood is protective against the development of asthma. It seems clear that you need exposure to bacteria for a healthy immune system, as natural bacteria and viruses act as natural vaccines Breast feeding -- Research has found that introducing milk other than breast milk to infants younger than 4 months old increases their risk of developing asthma Avoid antibiotics -- If allergies are making your life unbearable and you find you can't go a day without your inhaler, the real culprit might not be your congested head; it could be the microbes in your gut. Scientists have shown that antibiotics can change the balance of microbes in your gastrointestinal tract, which in turn has an impact the way your immune system responds to common allergens in your lungs. Avoid fish but take Omega-3 -- Frequent fish intake has been linked with asthma, which is most likely due to heavy mercury contamination However you can obtain your animal omega-3 from other cleaner sources like krill oil. Address Underlying emotions. There are a number of good case studies documenting the effectiveness of EFT for asthma. Here are two:

Asthma Relief Without Medications How a New Multi-Purpose Healing Method Relieved an Asthma Attack in Minutes

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more than 16 million adults, and almost 7 million children suffer from asthma in the United States alone. If you are among them, I also strongly recommend you to consider utilizing what is perhaps the most effective preventive against allergens in your home: a high-quality air purifier.

A Better Strategy for Diabetes

That health disaster Avandia gets the thumbs down is good news. But simply switching to metformin, a drug that makes your body's tissues more sensitive to insulin, is not the answer here. This drug-switching recommendation is a particularly unfortunate one, since type 2 diabetes is virtually 100 percent avoidable, and can be effectively treated without medications, supplements or surgery.

Type 2 diabetes is not a disease of blood sugar, but a disease of insulin, and perhaps even more importantly, leptin signaling. Therefore, diabetes can be controlled by recovering your insulin and leptin sensitivities. And, the only known way to reestablish proper leptin and insulin signaling is through a proper diet and exercise!

You may also remember that normalizing your weight and treating diabetes go hand-in-hand. Fortunately, following these simple guidelines will help you achieve both.

Severely limit or eliminate sugar and grains in your diet. Following my nutritional type diet will help you do this without much fuss. While nearly all type 2 diabetics need to swap out their grains for other foods, some people will benefit from using protein for the substitution, while others will benefit from using more vegetable-only carbohydrates. Therefore, along with reducing grains and sugars, determining your nutritional type will give you some insight into what foods you should use to replace the grains and sugars. Exercise regularly. It increases the sensitivity of your insulin receptors, causing the insulin already present to work much more effectively, so your body doesn't need to produce as much Avoid trans fats Get plenty of omega-3 fats from fish oil or krill oil Get enough high-quality sleep every night Treat the emotional issues that brought your health to this low point by learning a valuable, effective and non-invasive tool like the Emotional Freedom Technique.

If you can't seem to follow this advice, then you may want to try medical hypnosis to eliminate the subconscious barriers to your success.

A Better Strategy for Heartburn and Acid Reflux

Extinguishing the fire with over-the-counter drugs Zantac or Pepsid AC instead of Prilosec or Nexxium is plain misinformed advice. Losing weight, as recommended by Dr. Roizen is a step better, but his explanation still does not tell the whole story.

As Dr. explained in detail in an interview I did with him earlier this year (if you’re a member of my Inner Circle, you may have received it already), heartburn and GERD are almost always caused by a LACK of stomach acid, rather than an overproduction thereof.

You can get your stomach acid level checked through a simple and precise test, which will tell you if your level is too high or too low. According to Dr. ’s own clinical experience, 95 percent of all heartburn cases are actually due to stomach acid being too low.

So what happens if you have low stomach acid and take acid blockers like Zantac and Pepsid AC?

It gets worse!

The answer to heartburn and acid indigestion is to restore your natural gastric balance and function by taking some extra hydrochloric acid with your meals, which is available in every health food store.

For more guidelines and natural alternatives for managing the ailments that the other drugs in this MSN Health article addresses, I recommend you search my site. I have literally thousands of pages covering all of the ailments that these drugs are designed to treat.

Hi Ethel,

Sounds like a fabuous site, but when I clicked on it, it said web page no longer

exists. Bummer. I went to an integrative medicine pain conference last year and

the head of the pain clinic (a doctor) who had been dazzling us with the

intricacies of the pain pathways and how the various drug classes interrupted

pain signalling, when asked what he would do if he was the case study patient in

chronic, widespread pain, admitted the first thing he would try to do would be

to get off the drugs!  It truly was a great night.

 

Kindest regards,

I'm astonished that two highly prescribed drugs didn't make the list:

Fosamax, well established to cause jawbone necrosis; and the statin drugs,

although here most doctors are still steeped in the misapprehension that

lower cholesterol is desirable. I know their days are crowded and their

lives busy, but you would think these particular issues have made enough

headlines to be apparent by now, and that doctors would be better informed

on the risk/benefit ratio.

And so they would be...in a perfect world. Not in this dystopia.
