Why does medication have side effects?Nutrient depletion

Modern Medicine May Be Leaving You Nutritionally Depletedand tired, irritable and at risk for degenerative disease? Each day, doctors prescribe millions of pills to treat everything from hypertension to digestive complaints. In 1998 alone, Americans spent $94 billion on prescription drugs. And rather than being the healthiest country in the world, America has the highest rate of chronic degenerative diseases in the world. Something is wrong. • 46% of the total population uses prescription medication on a daily basis • 83,481,683 of all adults use prescription medications • 84% of consumers used an over-the-counter medication in 1996 Unfortunately, in the rush to treat specific symptoms and conditions, overall health is overlooked. Many prescription and over-the counter medications disrupt vitamin and mineral absorption, use and storage in the body. Often, patients are prescribed additional medications to alleviate symptoms caused by the depletion of vital nutrients. If you take medications, it's important that you know and understand how they may be affecting your body and your overall health. Increased consumption of essential nutrients may be needed to counteract the nutritional depletion caused by drugs, especially when they are used on a regular basis.For more information see my blogs on myspace/ladyancaster or call me @ 1 877 502 9406 MST
