Mother Nature Not Serving Any Free Lunches
The way the drug companies tell it (to you and doctors alike) you can poison any enzyme system you like to get whatever impact ("effect") you're looking for and everything's just fine. That's based in the flawed system known as "reductionism" and it ignores holistic considerations. But the idea that just because you are looking at one impact when you poison that system, that is the only one there will be is absurd.
You see, the problem is that Mother (Mother Nature, that is) is quite a thrifty lady. She doesn't like to throw away things that work and saves them, knowing that, like that big rubberband at the back of your desk drawer, it might some day come in handy.
When Mother comes up with a great enzyme system (and they are pretty complicated so making a good one that works properly takes some doing!), she uses it in more than one place. For example, you may be familiar with Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors or SSRIs, as they are widely known.
SSRI's inhibit (that literally means "poison") the enzymes that pick up a molecule of serotonin in the space between the working ends of two neurons, pull it back into one of them, process the serotonin molecule and use it again to transmit information to another neuron by sending it out into the synapse (space) again.
That means, hopefully, that the serotonin hangs around longer in the space and exerts its impact on more cells for longer.
Of course, there are serious and long-lasting consequences (side effects) from messing around with this system that most of us are familiar with --- like suicide, homicide, permanent brain damage, depression, mania, seizures, permanent worm-like movement disorders, seizures, death and so on.
In fact, the brains of children may be particularly susceptible to these poisoning events but SSRI pushers have found a great market in kids: they live a long time after they start on the drugs (mostly), stay on them pretty much forever and they have no say in the matter, so no matter how awful it makes them feel, they have to take the stuff if grown ups tell them to. Even after they try to kill themselves (unless they succeed) or someone else, they get kept on the drug and more drugs are usually added.
If that weren't awful enough (and Mother and I think it's pretty awful), Mother's been at her thrifty work again. She uses the very same serotonin system at the place where new bones are being formed - their surfaces. So, after dosing kids with these dangerous substances whose "adverse events" lead to higher doses and more drugs like the first (because the "side effects" are very similar to what got the person on the drugs in the first place), we learned that some of these kids were developing old people's weak bones -- osteoporosis.
Mother is not pleased, but she knows, as you know, there are Natural Solutions to these horrors... and Mother needs your help to make those solutions possible because the forces that oppose these Natural Solutions, the drug industry, is hard at work suppressing and attacking them - again.
Singing the Blues in B (Flat)
Yesterday the FDA announced that a long list of antibiotics will finally require a new "Black Box Warning" label because of their previously ignored dangers in a surprising area: tendon damage.
Well known and widely over-used and mis-prescribed antibiotics like Cipro (R) can be associated with a three-fold increase of a painful and potentially crippling condition in which a tendon ruptures. Tendons are poorly supplied with blood so they do not heal well but they are richly supplied with nerves so damage to them is exquisitely painful.
Vitamin B 6 and other B Vitamins are either made by good bacteria or processed in the gut. When they are suppressed or blocked, nutritional deficits result that have profound effects all over the body. So, in addition to killing beneficial bacteria and interfering with the control of fungus like Candida, antibiotics deprive your body of nutrients it needs for health.
Tendons are very sensitive to B6 and other B Vitamin deficiencies so it should come as no surprise that killing off the bacteria in the gut and blocking the uptake and action of B6 would lead to - guess what - tendon rupture. You see, we share a lot of enzymes with bacteria (remember, Mother is thrifty) and poisoning them poisons us at the same time, no matter what the drug companies don't want to tell you.
No surprise there. Vitamin B 6 (pyridoxine) interferes with the absorption of these antibiotics and they interfere with its actions. Biochemistry is biochemistry. Physiology is physiology and no amount of marketing will change that.
Avalanche on Side Effect Mountain
When you look at the list of awful, but anticipated, unfortunate consequences of poisoning enzyme systems (which is the common mechanism by which every drug achieves its effects, anticipated or not), you are looking at the tip of the tip of the tip of the top of the mountain: Side Effect Mountain.
Tumbling down Side Effect Mountain can kill you or make you very, very sick, and then kill you, especially if more than one drug is involved in what is mistakenly called "Health Care" but is better called "Illness Care". Remember, PROPERLY used drugs have long been known to be the single leading cause of death in the US and other "developed" nations. Of course, that contributes greatly to the wretched showing that the US makes in every international health index ranking. You get sick (usually because of toxicity and underlying nutrient under-nutrition) and then you take drugs. The drugs make you sick(er) and you are given more drugs. They make you sicker still and, after enough chemical assaults on your precious enzymes, which are, after all, the very stuff of life, you die. Generally, however, you live long enough to generate huge profits for the Illness Business.
Even the term "side effects" makes it sound like the sometimes disastrous, and frequently lethal, unintended consequences of drugs (combined with chronic nutrition deficits from our industrialized diet), are a surprise. They are not.
Although they may truly be unintended, adverse effects are not unanticipated - they are well known and widely catalogued in such widely available resources as the Physician's Desk Reference (c) or PDR (c) that lists a truly horrifying, and not necessarily uncommon, list of adverse events for each and every drug.
Now, these adverse events are the ones left AFTER the drug companies eliminate any one who does not respond well to the drug BEFORE the drug trial and then chuck out people who have adverse events during the trials or who die - those people's adverse events are usually not counted because they did not "finish the trial."
The same anticipated risk of harm is especially true with vaccination... which, as you well know, is an uninsurable risk. Think about that for a moment: no parent, doctor or drug company can buy insurance against the anticipated harm caused by vaccinations, that's why the government adds a tax to the cost of each shot, to fund the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/) that has paid out over two billion dollars to the families of kids killed or maimed by vaccinations. And that's one reason why Natural Solutions Foundation is so opposed to mandated vaccinations.
As Jim Turner, a crusading attorney and health freedom leader (and the Chairman of the board of Citizens for Health) says, "Any nation which insists upon injecting its children with toxic substances despite their toxic effects is a nation with serious moral problems." He's right, but the problems extend to drug treatments which make people ill and then elicit further drug treatment!
Vaccination issues, such as combating mandated vaccination for children and grown ups, require special focus so the Natural Solutions Foundation has created special tools for that purpose.
