Ever thought your cholesterol medication would affect your peripheral nerves? New research shows that with prolonged treatment with statin medications there is often long term damage done to peripheral nerves.

Cholesterol medications are not always necessary. Cholesterol levels have not been proven to be the factor leading to heart disease. With taking medications there are always unknown side effects, but with cholesterol medications there are many conditions that can be linked with the use of these drugs. Along with increased peripheral nerve damage, statin drugs also increases your chance by 50% for acquiring diabetes.  If you or someone you know has developed peripheral nerve damage or are becoming diabetic, look into your history and remember statin medications can lead to these conditions!

We all think that our Doctors have our best interest in mind, but do they really? It has been found that big name pharmaceutical companies have been bribing doctors for years to use their drugs. Although the vacations and dinners at 5 star restaurants have ceased, they are still being played in a variety of ways. One common approach involves asking doctors to speak about the benefits of drugs provided by pharmaceutical companies and then being paid significantly for their time and travel. Resent studies have found some cases where, after speaking and being paid the Physician’s own prescription writing for drug that they spoke of greatly increased benefitting the pharmaceutical companies with over $100,000 in additional sales. This is a blatant conflict of interest.  These physicians often use presentations complete with slides and reference points that have been provided by the pharmaceutical companies involved.

Coming in 2013, all doctors that speak about pharmaceutical drugs are going to be placed on a government website. So all patients can know if their doctor is potentially being swindled into thinking that the drug they just spoke about is the new “miracle” drug.

Autoimmune disorders, seizures, paralysis, speech problems, blindness, short term memory loss, and even death! If these side effects sound dangerous to you, then you may want to think twice before you or someone you care about receives the Gardasil vaccine. These symptoms are all associated with females who have received the Gardasil “be one less” vaccine.

Research demonstrates that Gardasil is not necessary in most women. Being that there are more than 100 types of the HPV and Gardasil only protects against 4, and 90% of women naturally clear their bodies of HPV within 2 years, does it make sense to put yourself or your young daughters at serious risk of acquiring  life changing side effects?

Get the facts before putting yourself at risk.

According to new research in the Journal of Virology, children that receive a flu shot may actually be weakening their immune system which would put them at a higher risk from getting sick from cold causing viruses, bacterial infections AND flu viruses not included in the shot itself.

Recent information has shown that treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with psychotropic drugs such as Ritalin, can lead to depression in adult life through drug induced “complex behavioral adaptations”. 

Recent information has also shown that children with ADHD appear to have lower than normal levels of the healthy fish oil fats, EPA and DHA.  DHA has been shown to be a key component of healthy nervous system development and decreased levels have been associated with depression. 

This information is so important because it suggests that supplementation with fish oil may be useful in the treatment of children with ADHD, and if this is the case, would be a method of treatment without the damaging side effects of psychotropic drugs.
