Addiction to
any and all pills is a serious problem in the world. I have written about this topic before but it is certainly
worth repeating because I have discovered that most people do not believe it
will happen to them. They actually
think they are acting sensibly and that they are above the problem. How dangerous is that type of
thinking? Each one of us is
vulnerable to the potentiality of addiction and early death by an over dose of
drugs. This statement doesn’t
necessarily mean that it is relating only to what I call serious drugs;
instead, I am speaking to all pills that you ingest. They actually have the potential to harm you and cause
dangerous side effects far greater than your original reason for taking a pill
in the first place.
While most
people are informed about the side effects, again, they act as though that
situation will not happen to them—in other words, they are willing to take that
chance. Too often I have found
that many people want to have a quick fix. As a society, we tend to be in a hurry and are therefore
impatient. Case in point, I have a
sister who has had many medical challenges over the last 20 years but recently
she decided to take a medication, internally that she was told would heal the
fungus on her toe. It seems that
this issue has been lingering for a very long time so she decided that now was
the time to take action and resolve it.
Her doctor willingly prescribed the medication and she felt she was on
her way to recovery from a toe that had been infected by a fungus for a long
time. Shortly after she started on
the medication, she broke out in red blotches, a rash that appeared from head
to toe. She was scratching like
crazy as the blotches grew in strength and size; the rash including her scalp
affected her entire body. It was
only after a month of taking the medication that she discovered this particular
medication was the cause of her outbreak.
Her body was a wreck and she emotional, physically and mental was in a
state of distress. Only after
going to a dermatologist, did she discover that the medicine for the fungus had
an adverse effect on her entire body.
It was actually poisoning it.
Unfortunately two months later and free from the medication, the problem
still exists although it is gradually decreasing; none-the-less, the situation
is still present. Now she is on
another medication to counteract the first medication and the saga
continues.
Her healing
process is slow and difficult but thank God, she at least discovered the cause
and has taken action to heal.
Unfortunately too many people never find the cause of some of their
symptoms and die because of them.
I am a person
who does not take drugs. I have
decided that I do not want to ingest chemicals into my body. I absolutely believe that there is an
alternative of choice and I also understand that I will need to be diligent and
forthright in my approach to staying healthy. You may read this and totally disagree with me but the truth
is, there are 15,000 Americans who die annually after overdosing on
prescription painkillers and other forms of drugs that cause adverse
results.
I personally
do not want to see more regulations by government but rather the use of more
common sense and responsibility by the people. The Federal Agencies, Doctors and Drug stores continue to
point the blame to someone else and I agree but not with their reasoning. Ultimately the blame falls on the
individual taking the medication.
I have shared
this type of information for years.
My daughter and I have dedicated our lives to help people find hope and
be willing to heal from issues or blocks that are hindering their lives at all
levels through natural means but you the people MUST ultimately take
responsibility for your actions. I
sincerely hope you will take this message to heart and work on finding inner
peace and calm without taking a pill.
You can always go to our web sites and read through various bites of
information that will help to put you on the right path or call us for an
appointment to deal with emotional pain and suffering.
