What Did the Doc Say Dear?So you’ve been to the doctor and he said to lose weight, eat less fat, drink less alcohol, exercise more, eat more vegetables, blah, blah, blah….. You’ve heard it all before! Just give me the pills and spare me the lecture. “Official Australian government reports reveal that preventable medical error in hospitals is responsible for 11% of all deaths in Australia, which is about 1 of every 9 deaths.” “If deaths from properly researched, properly registered, properly prescribed and properly used drugs were added along with preventable deaths due to private practice it comes to a staggering 19%, which is almost 1 of every 5 deaths.” Source: British Medical Journal November 11, 2000; 321: 1178A Wonder drugs promise to fix these problems, yet create other problems. Anti-inflammatory drugs (Viox, Celebrex) are now implicated with an increased risk of heart attack. Statins (Lipitor) used to treat high cholesterol are implicated in muscle weakness and pain. Hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women has been implicated with an increased risk of breast cancer, heart attack and stroke.

Unfortunately no consideration is given to the long-term damage that may also be done. Fortunately, it is not all doom and gloom, there are always safe, natural solutions to help you regain your health. Even as you read this, you know that there are things that you can do to improve your health. Remember, you can occasionally have that piece of cheesecake, chocolate, pizza or even a hamburger. It is what you eat or do 90% of the time that will keep you healthy. This is not an issue that anyone can ignore or walk away from. Our dietary and lifestyle indiscretions will catch up with us, with time. You are not just ‘getting old’, you are just getting more exhausted. Listen to your body, it’s telling you to ‘get help, I can’t cope any more’. Even as you read this you know that there are things that you can do to improve your health. It only takes 3 easy steps:
