Natural Alternatives to the 12 Dangerous Prescription Drugs

“Drugs are a big business. Last year, aggressive marketing and sales rang up revenues of more than $100 billion dollars for the top 12 pharmaceutical companies. Rimland, who has long questioned the benefits of heavily promoted pharmaceuticals, refers to them as "sub-lethal doses of toxic substances" that kill an estimated 150,000 Americans each year. Rimland also likes pointing out that the 3,000-page Physicians Desk Reference, a compendium of prescription drugs, would probably be only about 100 pages long if all the drug side effects, warnings, and contraindications were deleted. That's an example, he says, of how dangerous prescription and OTC drugs are.

In contrast, natural therapies, which include vitamin and mineral supplements and herbal remedies, can often do the job of drugs, but with greater safely and at a lower cost. Vitamins and minerals also play roles in normal biochemistry and maintaining, so they're less likely to cause side effects. "You don't get a headache because you have an aspirin deficiency," Rimland quips.” – Jack Challem, The Nutrition Reporter™

It is because of this that 1AlternativeMedicineS.com was formed; in order to discuss safe, effective methods of treating illnesses and relieving their symptoms without harsh chemicals that can cause unfavorable side effects.

Our suggestions to replace the 12 prescription drugs:

Acne – Replace Accutane with high fibre colon cleanser + Zinc + Vitamin A, E, and B6.
Cholestrol – Replace Baycol & Crestor with nattokinase (soy enzymes, a natural blood clot dissolver) + red yeast + pollen.
Pain – Brain control pain! Replace Bextra, Celebrex & Vioxx with food rich with tryptophan (protein that release serotonin, a powerful chemical in the brain that blocks pain) such as chicken, cheese, eggs, halibut, peanuts, peanut butter, milk & soybeans; + vitamins that strengthen brain such as Vitamin A,B C & E, magnesium, selenium, lecithin, phosphatidylserine, acetyl 1-carnitine, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, and phenylalanine.
Weight loss – Replace Fen Phen with high fibre colon cleanser + Vitamin A, E, C & B + aloe vera + garlic + exercise 30 mins. per day.
HRT – Replace Prempro & Premarin with phytoestrogens (a plant compounds similar to human estrogen to combat the effects of hormonal changes) food and herbs such as soy, nuts, whole grain, pueraria lobata, dong quai, etc.
Diabetes – Replace Rezulin with high fibre raw diet to control blood glucose level + nattokinase (dissolve blood clots) + pollen (lowers the LDL cholesterol level).
Depression – Replace Serzone & Zyprexa with Silva Mind Method (dynamic meditation for self healing).
