Every month, THE HARTE OF HEALTH, as a public service, will inform you of the specific dangers of a medication. Could be just approved, could be used for decades, probably prescribed, but could be just over-the-counter.
A century or more ago, Dr. Eli Lilly (of the HUGE Lilly Pharmaceuticals) said: “Show me a drug without side effects, and I will tell you that it is NOT a drug!” READ, LEARN, and BEWARE!
XOLAIR
Previously an asthma drug, now just approved for food allergies, ages 1 up through adulthood.
THIS GETS WEIRD RIGHT OFF THE BAT! The alleged purpose of this drug is to prevent serious reactions to food allergies, up through anaphylaxis (a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction). WEIRD? This is one of those drugs that can CAUSE what it is supposed to treat. Yes, Xolair can CAUSE anaphalaxis, so much so that it is recommended that the first treatment should be IN A MEDICAL FACILITY that can treat anaphalaxis. In other words, better not take it by yourself, or in a plastic surgeon’s office or an orthopedist. Better in an emergency room. Feeling safe now?
FIRST SIDE EFFECT LISTED? CANCER! Why? Because pretty much all drugs for auto-immune diseases (your immune system going all hyper, out of control) work by stomping down the immune system. Can they alleviate your auto-immune symptoms? Yes, but by brutally suppressing your immune system, it often gets too low in function. News flash: Your immune system, besides protecting you from bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, protects you from cancer. Suppress your immune system, and you may end up with cancer, as well as serious infections, parasites…
BOTTOM LINE: You mess with Mother Nature, you pay a price. Instead of attacking a disease, how about THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH! By freeing your brain and nervous system (which controls everything, including your immune system), your body is free to heal, to function better, naturally!
DOES THIS DRUG CURE YOU, OR HEAL YOU? No! No drug does. The best that it can do is to manage your symptoms, and control the progression of your disease or injury. No drug can promote Health. Every drug takes away from Health. REALIZE that, while a drug may be necessary or beneficial, under certain circumstances, there is ALWAYS a cost to your health!
WANT HEALTH? The #1 thing is to get your brain and nervous system free of interference. There is only one path for that… regular, wellness chiropractic care. There is no drug, no exercise, no massage that can do that. Only gentle, specific, scientific chiropractic adjustments!
