Pregnant? Don’t Put Your Baby At Risk!
This Medication Can Cause Devastating Harm
Pregnancy, in and of itself, can often trigger emotions that make it extremely difficult to cope with depression. While obviously, the wisest choice for expectant mothers is to be completely free of medications before, during and even after pregnancy if nursing. Some obstetricians tend to see it differently and feel that the benefits to the mother of continued use of anti-depressants will outweigh any risks to the fetus. Prozac, once thought to be relatively safe, has been indicated in an increased risk of autism and Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) to the unborn baby. 20% of infants with PPH will die and many will need a lung transplant.

Are We That Unwary, or Is it Just Slick Marketing?
Big Pharma is all about slick marketing. We’ve mentioned this before in other posts. When we, as a population, are bombarded repeatedly day after day with advertisements – “Pills for our Ills”, some, if not most of us, begin to believe we actually NEED them. The doctor writes the prescription and we blindly head off to the pharmacy without giving it a second thought.

Think Your Non-opioid Painkiller is Safe??? Think Again!
Most people are well aware of the dire warnings surrounding usage of the opioid painkillers such as Vicodin, Hydrocone, Morphine and Oxycodone. Side effects may include addiction, severe constipation, impairment, nausea, vomiting, weakness, drowsiness, itching and urinary difficulties –just to name a few. But somehow, the general public has been lead to believe that non-opioid analgesics are SAFE. However, many of these drugs, some of which we have come to trust, through a multitude of television commercials and magazine ads, can cause serious and sometimes fatal side effects including cardiovascular disease such as heart attacks and strokes.

Are You Taking One of The Most Dangerous Prescription Drugs
Shockingly, almost 50% of Americans take at least one prescription drug daily, and many take up to a dozen. Prescription drugs account for the fastest growing segment of the healthcare market. While drugs have their place and can save lives under the appropriate circumstances, most of the time less dangerous options and remedies are available.
Pharmaceutical companies are spending billions every year to aggressively market drugs that have not been properly tested to both the general public and the prescribing doctors. Just watch the TV commercials or thumb through any of the major magazines to see the prevalence of ads, many of them terribly misleading. Unfortunately, almost half of the public is under the belief that only “safe” drugs can be advertised.
Many prescription drugs are fraught with horrible side effects or can even be fatal. For decades, chiropractors have been warning patients to take a more natural approach, whenever possible, that includes dietary changes, exercise, lifestyle modifications and conservative chiropractic care.
