NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS can do same as PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

[Guest guest]

A fact hidden from the American public: the biological action of

every prescription drug can essentially be duplicated with

nutritional supplements.

Some examples:

Seldane, the most popular selling anti-allergy drug can be replaced

by quercetin and vitamin C.

Ginger is more effective than the common drug used to overcome

motion sickness (AND it can work as effectively as Celebrex to

combat pain).

Garlic and chromium supplements (as well as Flax Seed Oil) help to

reduce cholesterol without the side effects and cost of Mevacor.

Many cholesterol-lowering drugs block the absorption of fat-soluble

vitamins such as A, D, E and K, which in turn leads to health

problems.

Tagament, Zantac and Pepcid, three multi-billion dollar anti-ulcer

drugs, two of which were recently released for over-the-counter

sales, are being widely touted on TV advertisements. These anti-

ulcer agents can be replaced with DGL, a licorice root extract. The

whole approach to treating ulcers with acid-blockers should be

called into question since low hydrochloric acid ecretion " decreases

the bioavailability of important minerals such as iron, zinc and

calcium.

Antidepressant drugs can be replaced with an herbal preparation

called St. 's wort. A European psychiatric journal dedicated a

whole issue to reports showing St. 's wort is safer and more

effective than Elavil, a commonly prescribed antidepressant.

Coleus, a mint-plant extract, can reduce fluid pressure

in the eye without the side effects caused by beta-blocker eye

drops.

Magnesium appears to be able to do what calcium-blocking drugs do,

at 1/10 to 1/100 of the cost.

Melatonin, a non-Rx hormone, appears to be a safer sleep aid than

Halcion.

Other examples abound.
