When I was growing up, my Mom used to tell me that you don't get
anything in life for free. There's always a price.
That was a good lesson when it came to things like studying to get good grades, saving my babysitting money to buy a pair of "Jordache" jeans (I know, I'm dating myself) or stretching for hours to get into a full split so I could make the cheerleading squad.
Unfortunately, it's also true concerning prescription drugs.
You see, as much as they promise freedom from your symptoms if you just "Ask your doctor if XYZ drug is right for you," there's ALWAYS a price to pay, my friend.
And it's not just the exorbitant cost.
It's the side-effects which many times can be as bad as or WORSE than your original problem!
Here's an example of this that just surfaced recently:
No more high blood pressure...but Celiac instead?
The Mayo Clinic recently reported that 22 of their patients that were taking the popular blood pressure drug Benicar (olmesartan) developed symptoms of Celiac disease.
None of the patients tested positive for Celiac with blood tests, so they suspected that the drug was the likely culprit behind the symptoms.
Sure enough, they were right. When the patients stopped taking olmesartan their symptoms seemed to subside.
A detailed follow-up investigation showed that the patients who took olmesartan had, in fact, sustained VERY serious intestinal damage as a result of the drug, and that the damage began to heal only after they stopped it.
Interestingly enough, the Mayo Clinic's Dr. Joseph A. Murray (head of the study) had actually reported these and other serious side effects associated with this type of drug to the FDA back in 2009.
But the FDA ignored the evidence and stated that it was "not definitive enough to verify a 'statistically significant' association between Celiac disease symptoms and the drug."
Hmmm...doesn't exactly give you a warm, fuzzy feeling, does it?
And this is just one of HUNDREDS of examples.
Does no symptoms equal great health?
The big issue here is that, regardless of what your health issues may be, an absence of symptoms does NOT mean you're healthy!
That would be like thinking that a car engine that's ready to blow up is OK because there is no smoke billowing out from under the hood yet.
If you are relying on one or more prescription drugs day in and day out, let me enlighten you: You are NOT healthy--you have a chemically-induced absence of symptoms, and you are basically a ticking time bomb.
Why are there so many time bombs around?
According to the CDC, at least HALF of Americans take at least one prescription drug every single day.
1 out of 4 of us takes 2 or more drugs each day, and 1 out of 10 people takes 5 or more! Every single day!
The obvious question is: What is going ON here?
Well, let's think about this...
The diets most people have today are absolutely perfect...
...perfect for making the drug companies richer, that is.
As a result of the acid-loaded, needs-a-Herculean-effort-by-your-system-to-digest-it diet the average person has today, we are suffering from head to toe.
And so Big Pharma is swimming in the money each and every time you take a bite, thank you very much.
Acid creating diets wreaks havoc with your body and is THE single most significant factor behind our ever-increasing reliance on dangerous drugs.
Let's take a closer look at what's likely going on inside of you:
1- The wrath of poor digestion
The primary effect of inefficient digestion is felt in your GI tract.
I call it having trouble "North and South."
When your foods are hard for your stomach to break down, it ends up secreting too much acid in the process--more than Nature ever intended. That acid can go "up north" (especially when you lie down) and bingo--you have acid reflux, GERD, heartburn, you-name-it.
Poorly broken down food can also be passed along to your small intestine to deal with the mess. But it can only do so much, and as a result, you get trouble brewing "down south"--gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS and diverticulosis.
But wait! There's more
Inadequate digestion also leads to wastes accumulating in your gut wall and harmful bacteria overgrowth in your intestines--which greatly weakens your IMMUNE SYSTEM.
And since your immune system helps protect you against infections, viruses and even major diseases including cancer, if yours is weak, guess what you're more susceptible to?
2- The price of acid waste accumulation
Acid wastes are the normal by-product of your digestion of foods and normal cell metabolism.
In a healthy functioning body, these wastes are eliminated through your major "exits"--the bowel (in your feces), the bladder (in your urine), the lungs (when you exhale) and the skin (when you sweat).
As a result, your body's pH can stay right around the slightly alkaline range where it should be to stay healthy.
But when your diet is inundated with foods that result in too much acid waste, your body can't effectively keep up with the elimination.
Instead what happens is the acid wastes get reabsorbed into your bloodstream--and once they do, heaven help you.
Acid wastes can cause a whole host of problems, including inflammation and pains of all kinds all over your body, as well as uncontrollably high blood pressure.
And it doesn't stop there!
Excess acid wastes can lead to a lower, more acid body pH. An acid environment is the perfect setting for tumors and diseases of all kinds to thrive.
Medication residue adds to acid waste buildup--so any drugs that you are taking are making the situation WORSE.
And lastly, a body that is too acidic can't effectively absorb nutrients, regardless of whether they come from food or supplements.
So not only do you run the risk of nutrient-deficient diseases like anemia and osteoporosis, but you can pack on the pounds because nutrient deficiency is the main factor behind constant hunger and overeating.
Turn it all around--it CAN be done
The great news here is that, regardless of your state of health, you can help your body be healthier and function better.
Even if you are among the 1 in 10 who takes 5 or more drugs a day! You too can see a difference.
Here's how:
The two measures that will give you the biggest health bang for your buck are:
1) Make your digestion efficient
This is a snap with the Great Taste No Pain health system.
Great Taste No Pain will show you how to create healthful, nutritious meals featuring real foods that are not only positively delicious, but are also easy to prepare and a breeze to digest.
When your digestion is accomplished easily and thoroughly, not only do you have less trouble "north and south," but you also help maximize your body's absorption of nutrients (which can help those excess pounds S-L-I-D-E off).
And as a bonus, it helps encourage a more alkaline pH, which means that your body will be less likely to get cancer or any other disease.
2) Balance your intestinal flora
The friendly flora in your gut makes up 70-80% of your immune system, which plays a HUGE role in disease prevention, including cancer, and protects you against bugs and viruses of all kinds.
Plus, your beneficial bacteria help break down certain starches and fibers in your foods, which helps keep digestion smooth.
Probiotic supplementation has been proven to help achieve this important, possibly life-saving goal.
Super Shield, by most measures, is the perfect probiotic supplement. Its 13 strains of friendly bacteria are up to the task, ready to line your intestinal walls, help keep your digestion smooth and be on the lookout for harmful pathogens that can make you sick.
Remember, my friend, nothing in life is free. Sooner or later, the price for artificial drug-induced "health" will need to be paid...and that can be a very dear price.
Don't make Big Pharma richer and richer while your health gets poorer and poorer.
Instead, give your body the help it needs so it can function the way it's supposed to -- like Nature intended.
Believe me, it will say thank you in countless ways.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
PS: Ginger feels great--and is off blood pressure medication!
Sherry:
I am a 69 year old woman who has been taking Prilosec for about 12 years. Since then I have been put on BP medication, cholesterol medication, Fosamax for my bones, and was taking glucosamine, calcium and vitamin D.
A couple months ago came the big shocker. I had an attack of diverticulitis. That was the breaking point. I knew I was doing something wrong. I had always been very healthy and active in the past.
After following your Great Taste No Pain plan I am off the BP medication, Fosamax, Prilosec and glucosamine, WOW!
There is not much wrong with me after all! I just did not know how to combine my foods for better digestion.
All of this is with my doctor's blessed approval.
Thank you so much for all your work.
Ginger
