Its Your Wake Up Call.

Do you know only a drug can provide a cure to a disease, according to the Food and Drug Administration of this country?

No natural herbs, home remedies or vitamins can help your health, according to our government. It is fixated on keeping us sick and begging for quick solutions compared to long-term care. How many people think aspirin actually takes pain away? It does not. It simply blocks the pain receptors to the brain. This is a temporary fix and not a solution for what could really be aching you (no pun intended).

No one else will stand up for you in the examination room. Most doctors have quotas to meet; kickbacks from major pharmaceutical companies to collect and only your voice stands in the way. They speak that they know the human body; but they don't know your body.

A colleague, 24 years of age, was given a prescription for her high blood pressure. We won't include the name of the drug here, but after careful research through places such as WebMD and Wikipedia, we learned that this drug lowered blood pressure by weakening the heart so it pumped slower, thus de-pressurizing the flow of blood. After years and years of this drug, said colleague could easily develop more heart problems on account of this drug and is denying her heart of working at its capacity and potential. Luckily, our colleague stopped taking this drug only two months in.

So next time you're in the doctor's office and they're ready to write you a prescription, take a moment to look at yourself and think about what you are paying to put into your body. Advocate for yourself and do your own research. Research what they want to give you before swallowing it on a whim. Its your life, its your body and no one can take that away from you!!
