The following is a mock example of how prescribed medications can get out of hand and become a snowball moving down hill very rapidly.

Mary H.is on the standard American diet(SAD) and participates in exercise routines sporadically during a calendar year. She is about 40 years of age and is peri-menopausal ( borderline menopause). In the last year or so she has experiences some arthritis and other forms inflammation. She goes to her doctor and the doc prescribes:

Step 1. Inflammation>anti-inflammatory prescription ( dampens the strength of the nervous system). Now she begins to experience some muscle spasms.

Step 2. Muscle spasms>muscle relaxers. Weakens the muscles and joints. Now she experiences joint muscle pain,

Step 3. Joint-muscle pain>pain killers( weakens the gut and small intestine). She now begins to experience gastro-intestinal issues.

Step 4. Stomach ache from above med’s>anti-acids( lowers stomach acid adversely effecting digestion of foods). She is becoming stressed out and cannot sleep( cortisol/adrenaline are through the roof!).

Step 5. Cannot sleep>ambien. Feeling depressed and some anxiety.

Step 6. Depressed>Prozac. Blood vessels are constricting=high blood pressure.

Step 7. Stressed out tissues constricts blood vessels leading to high blood pressure>blood pressure med’s. goes for a check up and her chlolesterol is elevated.

Step 8. Tissue damage from all the above>elevates cholesterol>statin drugs. Damage to heart tissue is severe and doctor is contemplating heart surgery not to mention she is in beginning phases of osteoporosis, osteopenia, type 2 diabetes, and fibromyalgia.

Can some of you relate to the aforementioned scenario?


The above example may seem extreme, but the average person in their mid 40's or older are taking an average of 6 or more medications simultaneously(not good!). Mary H. is taking 7 drugs simply due to some acute inflammation that could have been possibly resolved in the early stages with a few lifestyle managerial changes and a thorough holistic evaluation!

1. Are you proactive or reactive? 2.If you are reactive stop reading right now and move on to another website! 3.If you are pro-active keep reading! 4.Do you seriously want to feel better, reduce or kill the pain that is bringing you down, get to core root of what is causing the symptoms?

According to Dr. John Bergman, chronic pain of more than 6 months can have serious neurological implications such as brain atrophy, dementia, alzhiemers, brain fog......
