Central New York (along with countless other areas) is in
the midst of a mini stomach flu epidemic.
It's pretty nasty--vomiting, diarrhea and extreme fatigue
that lasts for 3-5 days or more.
One of my extended family members came down with it last
Friday.
She came back to work today, but was sick to her stomach,
so she went to the doctor.
She returned to work after she saw the doctor and called me.
She told me that the doctor confirmed she has the bad
stomach virus that's been going around, and he gave her a
prescription for "Tizan" for her nausea and vomiting.
She felt uneasy about how nonchalantly he wrote the
prescription and asked for my opinion of the drug she was
given before she got it filled.
Here's what I told her:
Tizan (generic Zanaflex) is designed to relax muscles
spasms. It's usually prescribed for people with multiple
sclerosis, spinal cord injuries and other disorders that
produce muscles spasms.
How this is supposed to help Susan's nausea and vomiting
is anyone's guess.
Her stomach is vomiting for a good reason--there's a
foreign "invader" that her body is getting rid of.
So there is no reason to drug her with a muscle relaxer.
Tizan causes drowsiness in almost half the people who use
it (which is great for the fatigue that Susan is dragging
from already).
It also reduces blood pressure in many people, leading to
dizziness and light-headedness. People are supposed to
avoid driving or operating machinery while taking it, yet
Susan was not told by her doctor that she shouldn't drive.
Tizan's side effects include: blurred vision,
constipation, flu-like symptoms (remember she already HAS
the flu), frequent urination, nervousness, runny nose, sore
throat, speech disorders and...
Vomiting.
So the exact reason she was given the drug to begin with--
nausea and vomiting is also one of the side effects.
Is this unbelievable?
Other side effects are abdominal pain (which she already
has with this flu), anxiety, back pain, depression,
diarrhea (which she has had for 5 days), fever,
indigestion, muscle weakness, rash, sores, sweating and
tingling.
Brought to you by: Big pharma and your smiling, shiny
health care professional. "Pay the lady at the front
counter on the way out, please!"
Susan tore up the prescription and threw it away.
Listen, for your own safety you must stop blindly pumping
drugs into your body without asking questions and doing
investigations of your own.
Drugs are dangerous chemicals--not harmless little potions
that make you feel all better without any risks.
Each year over 110,000 people in the US alone DIE from
prescription drug use. Estimates go as high as 200,000
deaths and higher. That's just in the U.S. alone.
And many who survive these drugs are left permanently
harmed by them.
I'm not talking drub abuse and I'm not talking street
drugs. I'm talking about dying from just taking
prescription drugs in the amounts that Dr. Shiny Smile told
you to take.
And countless others suffer needlessly and horribly from
side effects that can ravage your entire body.
You are responsible for your own state of health--not the
doctors and certainly not big pharma.
YOU.
There is information everywhere on the 'net about drugs,
as well as in that little pamphlet of information you get
with a prescription with printing so small you can only
read it with a magnifying glass.
My advice: Get out a magnifying glass. Find out what
you're putting into your body.
You have the right to ask questions of your doctor, to
demand another less harmful drug be prescribed, or like in
Susan's case, to tear up the prescription.
And if your doctor won't (or can't) answer your questions
or blows you off, find another doctor.
Don't be afraid to get a second opinion either. Or third
or fourth. Only an insecure doctor would object to
that...and if your doctor's that insecure, well, what does
that tell you?
YOU are also a very important piece of the health puzzle.
You have a very important responsibility to ensure you
body stays strong and healthy.
Feed it right.
When you keep your body alkaline by eating the way I teach
in Great Taste No Pain
- http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
you are taking the single most important step toward great
health.
When your body is alkaline, it has more energy and can
heal itself better. It can more efficiently absorb
vitamins and nutrients.
All of your organs work like they're supposed to when
they're in an alkaline environment.
There's less or no inflammation in your bones, joints and
tissues.
Blood pressure can come way down, and energy goes way up.
Your skin clears. You sleep better.
Digestive problems, headaches and other aches and pains go
way down or disappear completely.
And that all means a much healthier you.
Take responsibility for your own health now. Let Great
Taste No Pain guide you every step of the way.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
PS: Judy has gotten the hope and peace of mind she's
yearned for:
*******************
Hi Sherry,
I have been following your "greattastenopain' plan for one
week now.
I was just ending an attack of diverticulitis and feeling
very frail but I did it and now I can happily say I do feel
remarkably better. No more pain in my gut.
I have suffered with chronic constipation for years using
enemas and large doses of laxatives for any results at all.
But today I had three (3) normal bowel movements.
I will continue with your plan for the rest of my life
because you gave me the hope and peace of mind that I have
been yearning for for many years.
A Big Hug and a thank you and God Bless,
Judy, Florida
