Health and Safety
Health and safety go hand in hand when it comes to prescription and over the counter drugs. The FDA is supposed to protect people from dangerous drugs and products that might harm us but many people are suffering everyday from drugs that doctors are prescribing to them. These people take the drugs because they would rather destroy their body and die slowly than die in a hurry. Many people are dying a slow suicide because of the poisons in some of the drugs that are destroying vital parts of the body. They take one drug to fix this, then take another one to fix what the first drug is destroying, then the third drug will help fix the second part of the body while it destroys yet again some other part of the body. Many people are not aware of this and feel that it is their only way to stay healthy. Little do they know but they are doing more harm than good because of all of the damage the drugs do to the body. Read the labels of some of the drugs. Everyone of them will cause possible damage to some part of the body. Is it really worth the risk? Drugs are also very expensive and many people can not afford them so instead, they switch to all natural supplements and soon discover the fact that they are much safer, cheaper, have no side effects, need no prescriptions or doctors visits. You should discuss them with your doctor if you are taking any drugs though because some supplements do not mix well with some drugs. Your doctor will know if they are safe for you to use.
Many doctors are even recommending the natural supplements to their patients. There are health supplements for every possible health problem you might have as well as many health preventative supplements. In order to take the supplements or any drugs safely, always take them as recommended. Do not decide for yourself how many doses you need. Those directions are on those bottles for a reason and if you want to get better instead of worse, you better follow directions. The FDA has no control over the natural supplements but if one should prove to be harming the public with serious health problems, they can ask the Federal courts to remove it from the shelves in the United States. Ephedra was banned in the United States in late 2006 because it caused heart attacks, strokes, deaths, and other health problems. Ephedra had been used for thousands of years by the Native Americans, Mormons, Mexicans, and Chinese for medicinal purposes. It had been used as a weight loss product and an energy booster before the US banned it.
