If I
asked you if you knew anyone taking prescription drugs, chances are
about 100% that your answer would be yes.
That
"anyone" may even include YOU.
And
if I were to ask if you knew anyone taking MULTIPLE prescription drugs,
chances are pretty darn good that you'd say yes again.
Here's
why I say that so confidently--take a look at these shocking statistics:
Almost
HALF of the US population has been diagnosed with one or more
"chronic" conditions--meaning long-standing medical problems that
usually don't go away and need to be managed for life.
Plus,
4 out of 10 people over age 60 are currently taking five or more
medications.
Five
or MORE!
Now
I have another question for you.
Why?
Why
are there SO many ill, medicated people? Are we really THAT sick of a
society?
Well...it
depends on how you define "sick" and what options are offered to
you.
Read
on and I'll explain.
The nature
of the pharmaceutical industry
When
you're in an industry where your income is determined by the volume of work
you do or goods you produce, when you want to increase your income, most
people or companies strive to do more of what they do best, while
responding to an increasing demand for their products or services.
For
example, attorneys or accountants take on more new clients that need legal
or financial advice.
Bricklayers
lay more bricks for foundations and repairs.
Painters
paint more walls and houses in need of painting.
Automobile
dealerships sell more cars.
And
so on.
But
when you're in an industry where you profit by how SICK people may be,
that's a whole different animal.
After
all, it's not like there's a demand to be sick! People don't WANT illnesses
like they want a new car or to have their house painted or their taxes done.
Instead,
my friend, the demand must be CREATED.
And
the pharmaceutical companies have become MASTERS at not only creating a
demand for their products, but making sure that demand lasts a lifetime.
Here's
how:
Drugs -- then and now
Back
in the "good old days" drugs were typically designed to either be
a cure (like antibiotics) or to provide occasional symptomatic relief (like
aspirin, cough medicine or antacids).
But
alas, the number of people getting colds, infections, headaches or occasional
heartburn wasn't big enough to adequately line the drug companies'
deepening pockets anymore.
So
what did they do then?
Well,
these four things have worked extremely well:
1- Forget curing anything.
Instead design drugs that provide relief of symptoms, but don't actually
CURE a thing.
2- Redefine symptoms as a
"disease," instill fear about "risk factors" and
position the drug as a preventive measure.
3- Establish a reward system
for doctors to prescribe more drugs.
4- Expand the marketing focus
from doctors to patients.
Here's
why those 4 things have been SO effective:
Quick cure to
lifetime drug dependence
According
to Melody Petersen, author of "Our Daily Meds," drug companies
have shown less and less interest in medicines like antibiotics that
actually CURE conditions than in those that only treat symptoms.
In
addition, the top sellers are drugs for conditions like anxiety, high
cholesterol or heartburn, and they're designed to be taken daily, typically
for months or YEARS.
The
treatment "goal" is to NEVER get off the drug!
And
sadly, of FAR less importance are things like medicines for tropical
diseases like malaria, which kills a child every 30 seconds. After all, a
drug like that would be "one and done"--no monthly refills
necessary.
Sorry,
kids.
But my doctor says I
have a DISEASE!
Way
back when, heartburn used to be heartburn. When someone would get it, they
would take responsibility for eating something that caused it, use their
Alka-Seltzer and that would be that.
Not
so any longer!
People
with heartburn now have Acid Reflux DISEASE or Gastro-esophageal Reflux
DISEASE (GERD)--and that calls for daily drugging with the purple pill or
any of its "cousins."
In
addition, parameters for many conditions have been redefined, so what used
to be "normal" now qualifies as a diagnosis.
For
example, what was once normal blood pressure is now considered high, and if
it's just close to high, it's called "pre-hypertension."
For
which Big Pharma recommends treatment, of course.
Plus
many of the top-selling drugs today are positioned to supposedly PREVENT
conditions like high cholesterol, high blood pressure and osteoporosis that
people are said to be "at risk" for.
It's
not like the people even HAVE a condition! Instead they're being frightened
to the point where they willingly take drugs (and suffer the side effects)
to prevent getting something that they quite likely may have NEVER gotten
to begin with.
If
that isn't insane, then please tell me, what is?
And
since people on these drugs will NEVER know if the drugs are
"working" or whether they would have never had a problem to begin
with, they become a loyal customer for life, scared to death to quit the
prescription.
Throw 'em a bone
When
I want my cat Rebecca to take her daily potassium supplement (she's very
old and has kidney issues), I bribe her with treats and she's more than
happy to comply.
The
good old reward system works like a charm...
On
many doctors too.
In
her findings from a study she conducted of type 2 diabetes and hypertension
treatment, Michigan State University anthropologist Linda M. Hunt, Ph.D.
cited that physicians are caught up in an "auditing and reward
system."
That
means doctors are rewarded by drug companies for prescribing more and more
drugs!
Plus
there's also what Dr. Hunt calls a "prescribing cascade."
Simply
put, that means drugs are prescribed to help relieve side effects caused by
other drugs. Then other drugs can be prescribed to relieve any new side
effects from the newly prescribed drugs.
Expand your
marketing, explode your bottom line
Since
direct drug company-to-consumer advertising began in the late 1990s, the
number of people on prescription drugs -- especially prescription drugs
designed to be taken for LIFE -- has soared through the stratosphere.
From
2001 to 2007 the percentage of adults and children on one or more
prescriptions for chronic conditions rose by more than 12 million!
If
that doesn't scare you, I don't know what will.
And
here's what's really sad: 1 out of 4 KIDS in the US now takes a
medication every single DAY, and 7% of kids take two or more drugs daily.
That's
the power of commercials. Especially when they pay popular celebrity
figures like Brett Favre, Cheryl Ladd, Sally Field, John Elway and Larry
the Cable Guy to tout their poisons, er, I mean, medicines.
STOP the madness
If
reading everything in this email so far has either concerned, scared or
positively maddened you, you're not alone.
And
you're also not helpless to the power of the drug industry and their
endless greed.
Because
you can take charge of your own health in safe, natural ways and make it
FAR less likely that you will need "chemical help" to begin with.
Here
are 3 effective measures you can take to "Just say no to drugs"
in a whole new way:
1) Eat for great health
Your
diet has THE single most profound effect on your digestion, your GI tract
and your entire health from head to toe.
You
cannot exist on fast food, packaged "stuff" or regularly eat hard
to digest meals and not expect to pay the price for it.
The
"price" will typically start with GI issues like GERD, acid
reflux, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating and harmful bacteria
overgrowth.
But
that's just the beginning.
Because
toxins and poorly digested food molecules seep out into your bloodstream
and can cause a number of seemingly unrelated problems, from migraines to
arthritis to skin problems to food allergies.
And
if you are toxic long enough, even cancer!
In
addition, if you're not getting properly nourished, that can lead to
overeating (and weight gain) and depression, plus learning and behavior
problems in kids!
So
as you can see, food is the root cause of MANY a health woe.
However,
just as eating the wrong foods leads to sickness and disease, eating the
right stuff can help turn that around.
And
that is what I can help you do with the Great Taste No Pain
system or if you're gluten sensitive, Great Taste No Gluten.
Both
Great Taste No Pain and Great Taste No Gluten show you how to
pair foods to help digestion to be accomplished smoothly and completely.
Not
only will this dramatically reduce gut problems, but it can help improve
your overall health from head to toe by reducing toxins in your bloodstream
and improving your nutrient absorption!
And
never did eating for great health taste SO delicious. The dishes in the GTNP and GTNG recipe books
are positively spectacular!
2) Explore alternatives
There
are many natural alternatives to traditional medications, so it's important
to explore options that may work for you.
An
excellent example is digestive enzymes.
Many
people have gotten tremendous relief from heartburn, gas and bloating (and
gotten off purple pills) just by giving their system a little enzyme
"help."
And
when it comes to seeking out an excellent
digestive enzyme formula, look no farther than Digestizol Max.
Digestizol Max
is loaded with 14
natural, potent plant-derived enzymes that will give your body the help
it needs to break down all of your foods--even heavy proteins, complex
carbs and sticky fats.
Plant-derived
enzymes have been shown to be between 10 and 100 times MORE effective at
digesting proteins, fats and carbohydrates than animal enzymes. Plus the
plant origins make them suitable for vegetarians and meat eaters alike!
3) Balance that intestinal
flora
Having
a poor diet and medication use (especially acid reducers and antibiotics)
both lead to harmful bacteria overgrowth in your gut.
This
not only hampers your digestion and weakens your gut wall but also
obliterates your immune system. So it's essential to make sure your
population of friendly gut flora is healthy and strong.
In
addition to eating a good diet, a high-quality probiotic supplement is the
most effective way to help encourage a proper flora balance.
And
Super Shield
multi-strain probiotic formula is as good as it gets.
One
of Super Shield's 13
superior bacteria strains, Lactobacillus
Rhamnosus, has been shown to stimulate antibody production and enhance
phagocytosis (one of your body's weapons for destroying dangerous invaders).
In
addition, Super Shield also contains Bifidobacteria Lactis,
which has high adhesion to human mucus. That means it will stick to your
colon wall to keep it strong and protective, which helps keep wastes,
dangerous toxins and bacteria from leaking out into your bloodstream and
making you sick.
Don't
spend one more minute thinking that dangerous and possibly unnecessary
chemicals from the industry that profits on human misery is your destiny.
Because
when you help create health from within, chances are excellent that you
won't need as many medications, or any medications at all!
See
what the power of a healthy diet, natural alternatives to medications (like
digestive enzymes) and a properly balanced intestinal flora can do for you.
To
your health,

Sherry:
Thank you so much for the
Great Taste No Pain program. It does really work. I have been using it and
I feel so much better. I eat out with my family and I never knew it was so
easy.
I wish I had found this
program years ago is the only negative thing I have to say!
I have had IBS since 1997 and
the pain and misery was terrible, keeping me from daily enjoyment of my
life. I have had GERD for 10 years taking all the worst medications. My
sister was diagnosed with Diverticulitis last month and I was desperate to
find help for both of us.
I really found a winner when I
found your site. I can't believe that for so little I found so much. I am
doing so much better. Have had one episode of IBS, my own fault for
cheating. That just proved to me your plan works.
No more expensive
prescriptions and the only side effect, I Iose 10 pounds in 2 weeks, great
side effect.
Thank you so much I am
spreading the word. You made it affordable and easy. Anyone can follow this
plan. All positive things about this plan.
Thank you again for your hard
work and research. It has been a blessing to me and my sister.
