I cannot understand why we are so easily convinced that we need to take a prescription drug. We enter our doctors office and if we have, say, high blood pressure, heavens forbid we are told the natural methods of lowering blood pressure: a yoga style exercising program, a week away from the office, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, prayer, meditation, internal focus, and so on. The fact is there are powerful, natural answers to every medication.

So, why would you ever consider using a medication, something that will definitely contain poisons and toxins, when completely safe, natural methods are available?

Before filling any prescription from your doctor, you need to ask yourself these top ten questions, and do your research. Your life does depend on it:

1. Is this medication dangerous?

2. Do I really know all of the side effects, or just the ones the doctor verbally told me about?

3. Can this medication cause me to die?

4. Is this medication associated with any wrongful death lawsuits?

5. If this medication is dangerous, why did my doctor not reveal these dangers to me?

6. What are the odds of having serious adverse side effects such as stroke or heart attack from taking just one pill?

7. Does each of these pills I am taking, when added up, each pill thereby increasing my risk of a severe adverse reaction or my own death?

8. What are the natural alternatives to this prescription that I have not been told about by my doctor?

9. Have I seen a chiropractor or natural practitioner to consider their perspective on this health problem?

10. Have I really looked at my lifestyle enough to know that I cannot change my health with a few simple changes to the way I live?

As a doctor who has been working in the health care field for ten years, I know how easily we are duped into taking medications. Medications can be dangerous and they can ruin lives. They can cause severe weight gain. They can lower I.Q. They can cause dementia. In my opinion, the single most destructive steps a person can do are to add a daily medication to their routine.

The simple, natural solutions to major and the minor health problems we encounter should be investigated, and I urge you to be wise about what prescription drug you might otherwise put blindly into your body in the name of health.
