Have you become approached by this evil and vicious monster yet? If you haven't I guarantee it is lurking around the corner from you right now. It might not be too long before it reaches out with it's huge tentacles, grabs you and makes you another one of his victims.

This vicious monster I'm talking about is "Big Pharma", one of the prescription drug companies. Make no light of this matter. it could happen to you today, tomorrow, maybe not until next month. However there's a better than even chance it will happen to you if you continue to do business with the average conventional doctor.

Your conventional doctor has this vicious monster hiding in his closet and when you visit him with some sort of illness or disease. if he doesn't examine you thoroughly, ask you lots of questions about your lifestyle, your diet, how you handle stress or about anything that's causing your ailment – Beware! The vicious monster is about to strike.

This conventional doctor will go over to his closet, open the door and release this vicious monster which in reality is a prescription he is writing for you to start taking immediately .

And the reason this scenario is repeated hundreds and even thousands of times each day around the country is because doctors don't know how else to treat your ailment except to write you a prescription to take.

It's ludicrous and shameful that this scenario repeats itself daily and then millions of innocent people are sucked into the system all the time. It's become a way of life for most people. They don't realize there are safer and better ways to handle illnesses today.

Everyday this vicious medical monster brainwashes America into believing it has the ultimate cure for every disease or illness on earth. It continues to poison people with what it believed to be the magic potions every time someone visits their doctor.

How will all of this end? Many times it ends in a real disaster, either by a patient's illness getting worse or by the patient eventually dying.

Now if all this language sounds brutal, it's not near as brutal as being exposed to the clutches of the vicious medical monster and gulping down, it's so-called, magical potions. It could be even worse than death when you hear or read stories of the pain and agony some patients experience because of these poisonous medications.

Now that fall and winter is beginning to approach, we start to read in newspapers or hear on TV how critical it is to get your flu shot. Another poisonous medication that "Big Pharma" wants to exposed you to.

The TV ads or the newspaper ads paint a bleak picture if you don't get your flu shot soon. They even emphasize it could be death-threatening if you don't get a flu shot. Wake up folks! This is pure propaganda. Your chances of dying or becoming violently ill is more likely to happen from taking the flu shot than not taking it.

Now what is even more concerning about all this talk about the vicious medical monster, it's when it reaches out with it's huge tentacles and grabs hold of innocent little children and wants to medicate them with something new.

This is the day when they get their first vacinations. Oh! What a disastrous story this can get to be. Here's another chapter in medical stories that needs to be looked at with skepticism. Thank goodness there are many parents now refusing to have their children inoculated because they are highly concerned about the safety of these vacinations.

Here's a question I want to ask adults who experienced these childhood diseases like measles, mumps and chicken pox when they were a child. Did you get vacinated for these diseases?

Most likely , if you are as old as I am now (77years old) you didn't get a vacination because there weren't any at that time. You just let those diseases wear off eventually.

Recent news now is talking about prescribing statin drugs for children with high cholesterol. WOW! What's next

Well you can bet the vicious monster is thinking everyday what iI can do next to get ahold of someone with it's tentacles and poison them with another "poisonous potion" so it can make millions and millions more dollars. Before millions more of innocent victims are killed, the cold hard facts need to be heard. And it's this. We need to destroy this vicious monster once and for all.

Here's how it's done. Either demand more attention from your conventional doctor by seriously discussing your illness and getting to the core reason for your ailment, then discuss an alternative treatment for your illness. If this is not possible then leave him or her and find you a doctor who will do that for you .

There are a few well-qualified doctors who really care about your illness and want to get you well with safer treatments than the average conventional doctor does. You just need to find them. These doctors fall into the categories of holistic, osteopaths, naturopaths and even regular Md.'s who are highly educated in nutrition.

If you are serious about living a much healthier lifestyle without pain, discomfort and not buying expensive prescription drugs, this is the route you need to follow. Believe me it's possible to lead a better kind of life, you just need to be persistent about finding a doctor who can help you achieve that.

While there is simply no substitute for eating healthy unprocessed whole foods, there is some need to complement your diet with some nutritional supplements.

One of these is CoenzymeQ1O (COQ10) which has been available for decades. COQ10 limits free radical production, which affects the aging process. It also helps boost your body's cellular energy production.

Free radicals are oxygen atoms deficient in electrons that become highly reactive. This in turn causes potential damage to your tissues and DNA.

So what exactly is CoEnzymeQ10?

Well an enzyme has two parts. A protein and another part that's either a mineral or a vitamin. When this "other part" is a vitamin it's called coenzyme. COQ10 has similar structure to Vitamin K, and it acts as a catalyst in various chemical reactions that leads to the production of energy, namely ATP.

You store enough ATP that will sustain rigorous activity for 5 to 8 minutes, and ATP must be constantly produced. For this to happen, your body needs a good supply of COQ10.

The heart and the liver contain the highest levels of COQ10 in the body. Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a cardiologist, says if there is just one think you need to do to help maintain your heart health, make sure you are taking COQ10 daily.

The challenge you face as you age is your body levels of COQ10 continue to diminish. Some reports say your COQ10 level decline becomes apparent as early as your 20's

COQ10 can help you in many ways to complement your healthy body and energize your life. Here's how:

* Help you to produce more energy for your cells.

* Boost your heart health

* Act as an antioxidant to help protect you from free radicals.

* Help you reduce the signs of normal aging

* Help you maintain blood pressure levels within the normal range.

* Provide a boost to your immune system

* Support your nervous system

If you or someone else you know is taking statin drugs, it is essentially important that you should start taking COQ10 immediately to replenish your COQ10 levels.

Statin drugs work to lower your cholesterol in the same way your body uses to produce COQ10. Normally well over 99% of people on statin drugs do not need them.

You really should be able to easily optimize your cholesterol levels with simple lifestyle changes.

When selecting COQ10 it should be a top-notch product.

Here's what it should be able to do:

* Deliver high-absorption formulas regardless of your age.

* Be all-natural with no synthetic ingredients.

* Come from a highly reputable company with some of the strictest quality control and safety standard practices in place.

They are even more possible advantages of COQ10:

* Support healthy gums

* Help maintain blood sugar levels

* Promote normalization of your weight

Coenzyme is not only an antioxidant; it can also help with a number of diseases such as diabetes, gingivitis, congestive heart failure and more.

Here's a very important message you should learn. Nutritional supplements are very beneficial to your overall health. If you can get all the nutrients you need from food you eat that's great.

However, in most cases, people don't get enough nutrients they need just from their regular diet. If your doctor is well educated about nutrition then you can get your information that way.

If that's not a possibility, then it's best to visit a home-owned nutritional supplement store where you can get some good advice on which supplements to add to your daily health regimen.

Remember this, Omega-3 fats are very essential to your health and your children's health too. So it's important to add it to your daily health regimen.

The best source of Omega-3 is fish oil and cod liver oil. I don't remember ever hearing of fish oil when I was growing up but I sure do remember cod liver oil. I got many doses of that. My mother probably guessed it was the all time healer of whatever we were sick with.

Today with all the beneficial claims made about it, my mom was probably right. Fish Oil is just as beneficial in many ways too. Since heart disease is so prominent today, fish oil or cod liver oil is highly recommended that you use either on a daily basis.

Researchers have found that Omega-3 oils stop the build-up of fatty acids in the arteries. That is one of the biggest benefits for defending yourself against heart disease and stroke.

Fatty acids have found to block key routes to the brain or heart triggering a heart attack or a stroke. There is strong evidence available that supports the fact that Omega-3 decreases that blockage.

Omega-3 fats are also crucial to your levels of DHA and EPA. Not only is it beneficial for preventing heart disease but also cancer and many other diseases.

Since the human brain is dependent on DHA levels – low DHA levels have been linked to depression, schizophrenia, memory loss, and a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's.

It's also important that you buy a high quality fish oil too. It's recommended you buy one that is free of mercury, PCB's and lead.

Of course you should know all fish contains mercury. However the smaller fish have less mercury. Even though some doctors don't recommend you eat fish, if you do anyway, make sure you buy the smaller varieties like cod.

Here's another recommendation about Omega-3. It's best to consume fish oil in warm weather months but in the winter months it's best you consume cod liver oil.

Cod liver oil is higher in Vitamin D than fish oil so that's why you need it mostly in cold weather areas. In the warm weather areas sunshine will help to supplement your intake of Vitamin D.

Usually our diets contain for too little Omega-3. That's why it is recommended to take additional supplements of it. However we get all the Omega-6 and Omega-9 we need from food.

It is strongly advised that you avoid sunflower, corn, soy, safflower and canola oil and products that contain these oils.

This also means no hydrogenated oils, or partially hydrogenated fats, no margarine, no vegetable oil or shortening. All of these oils are full of Omega-6 fats and will only be more hazardous to your health if you eat too much of the food containing them.

Acceptable oils include high quality extra virgin oil, coconut oil, avocados and organic butter.

Now if you eat meat then make sure you follow these rules. The best meats are those raised primarily or entirely on grass-fed diets. Nearly all cattle found in grocery stores and restaurants are grain–fed before slaughter. This type of beef is not a healthy choice.

Another side note is, be cautious of stores advertising grass-fed beef that really isn't true grass-fed. All cattle are grass-fed to some extend, but the key is what they are fed the months prior to being processed.

Most cattle is shipped to giant fed lots and fed corn to fatten them up. That's why you are safer to buy your beef in a store that usually sells organic products. Their beef products usually meet the right criteria.

To Summarize:

* Most Americans are highly deficient in Omega-3 so make sure you are consuming it regularly.

* Reduce the oils and foods high in Omega-6. Americans usually get too many of them.

* Eat the healthier meats recommended earlier in this article.

You are not likely to find this valuable information in your local press. So let me encourage you to heed this valuable advice yourself and also share it with your loved-ones and friends as well.

It's usually a pill for this, an operation for that. There is no end to the ways modern medicine can make you healthier, right?

And not only that you can always count on your doctor to give you accurately reliable information, wouldn't you agree?

Well if you believe all this, you better take a closer look at what's happening in the world of conventional medicine today.

Most of you should know that the U.S. spends far more on health care in actual dollars than does any other country. Much of this is due to the constant research and development of new drugs, the deep pockets of pharmaceutical companies, the cost of malpractice insurance, managed care, and expensive government programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

Yet the U.S. ranks low among industrialized countries in both life expectancy and infant mortality. The U.S. now ranks last out of 19 countries for unnecessary deaths. Deaths that could have been avoided through timely and effective medical care.

You must ask, what's the risk of medical treatment itself, and how dangerous is conventional medicine?

Well, here are some answers to those questions:

* One-third of adults with health problems reported mistakes in their care in 2007, and rates of visits to physicians or emergency departments for adverse drug effects increased one-third between 2001 and 2004.

* Then the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported that drug overdoses killed 33,000 people in 2005 – second only to car accidents in the category of accidental deaths – up from 20,000 in 1999, and 10,000 in 1990.

* Now understand this major increase in drug overdoses is not due to heroin or crack epidemic. These deaths are largely due to prescription drugs.

* Also in addition to accidental prescription drug overdoses, an estimated 106,000 hospitalized patients die each year from drugs, by medical standards, that are properly prescribed and properly administered.

Even though some polls have given doctors some high ratings about their honesty and ethics, do you trust you doctor because he or she has earned it?

Or, do you trust your doctor because you have been brainwashed by 50 billion dollars a year of advertising by the food and drug industry. Thus causing you to fear that you will suffer some awful fate if you don't opt for the latest pill, surgical intervention or delight in the latest "necessary" procedure?

The next time you are handed a prescription, you might want to consider some of medicines past blunders, bungles and mishaps.

Physicians and scientists often did the best they could with what they knew in their efforts to save their patients. However, many procedures had no benefits at all, yet doctors still adhered to the same practices in their hopes for finding a cure.

How has medicine's reputation survived for more than 2,000 years? Why has it been so hard to see when medicine was not working?

Doctors believed they were doing good, so patients believed in them too.

Many diseases were self-limiting, and the health improvements that doctors took credit for actually resulted from the body's natural healing processes.

For centuries, a disease was viewed merely as a disorderly condition of a particular patient, not a typical condition of many patients. It wasn't until disorders began to be categorized that standard treatments could be compared.

Doctors feared they would be seen as not doing their best for a particular patient if they prescribed a different remedy (or none at all) perpetuating bogus or ineffective treatments.

History is full of good scientific knowledge being shoved under the rug of ego-driven physicians and rigid institutions that resisted change in an effort to keep things operating in the status quo, a resistance that continues to this day.

I'm sure it will stay this way until patients realize the treatments of most conventional doctors are not working effectively.

When enough of the population starts realizing this way of treatments is not the best way to go about solving their health issues, maybe they will finally realize the best way to go is the alternative medicine way, which is safer, more reliable and less offensive to your body.

Is it really worth taking medication if the cure is worth than the disease? Here are just a few of many side effects of many prescription drugs?

. Hallucinations, fainting, coma

. Fussiness irritability, crying for a hour or longer

. Paralysis

. A blood clot in your lung

. Liver damage

. Kidney damage

. Congestive heart failure

. Shingles

. Nerve pain lasting for several weeks or months

. Bleeding that will not stop.

. And many more side effects

Every year, more than 2 million Americans suffer from serious drug reactions. According to the U.S. food and Drug Administration (FDA), these reactions cause about 100,000 deaths per year, making prescription drugs the fourth leading cause of death in this country. Compare this to the death toll from illegal drugs – which is about 10,000 per year and you begin to see the magnitude of this problem.

What's really interesting to me is I'm surprised that the FDA even reports this. Here's an agency that its job is to approve or disapprove a drug. Many times when they have approved a drug it is one that has disastrous consequences. The drug Vioxx is a perfect example. It has been responsible for thousands of death before it was withdrawn from the market.

What people don't realize is that drug reactions are not only recognized as such. doctors often attribute them to other causes, people either downplay them or do not report them altogether.

When you add in other medical errors, unnecessary procedures, and surgery-related mishaps the modern health care system actually becomes the LEADING cause of death in the United States.

To see the magnitude of this problem look at all of it this way.

* The recorded error rate of ICU's is like the post office loosing more than 16,000 pieces of mail every hour of the day or banks deducting 32,000 checks from the wrong bank account every hour, 24/7.

* The recorded medical errors and deaths equate to six jumbo jets falling out of the sky everyday, 365 days of the year.

* Since 2001, a recorded 490,000 people have died from properly prescribed drugs in the U.S. while 2,996 people died on U.S. soil from terrorism, all in the 9/11 attacks. Prescription drugs are therefore 16,400 percent more dangerous than terrorism.

* If deaths from over-the-counter drugs are also included then drug consumption leaps to being 32,000 percent more dangerous than terrorism. Add conventional medicine viewed as a whole and it is 104,700 deadlier than terrorism.

Why is it that clinically tested drugs that are FDA approved and suppose to "cure" diseases are usually ending up hurting or even killing people sometimes?

One thing that happens is one drug may be acting adversely with another one, or maybe a food you are eating may cause an unforeseen reaction. There are countless reasons why you may be affected with all kinds of reactions.

Remember this, it's your body and your decision what to put in it. If you decide to take your doctors opinion about taking a drug it's your responsibility to decide if you should take it or not.

Most doctors only think about prescribing a drug to handle your ailment, instead of treating it in an alternative way, like prescribing some nutritional supplement to correct your problem.

It's rare today that a doctor will spend much time learning about your ailment to see if he could recommend other issues to solve it. Even a poor diet could be the reason for all kinds of poor health problems.

Since doctors rarely learn much about nutrition in all their years of medical school, they don't know what kind of advice to give their patients other than prescribing a dangerous prescription drug for your ailment.

Here's some very valuable advice to remember. Make drugs your last option to handle any health problem. Many health problems can be prevented or treated with some LIFESTYLE changes.

Most people don't realize that Lifestyle changes can cure some of the most recognized diseases such as: Diabetes, Heart disease, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol and even Cancer.

You would find it rare to not find some simple alternative way to cure the most devastating of diseases or illnesses without using prescription drugs.

Do your research on the Internet or prescribe to some doctors' newsletter who reveal alternative methods for developing a healthy body and also maintaining it for as long as you desire.

To your good health,

Many of the TV commercials seen by teenagers is for junk food products. According to research released by the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, this may be a reason obesity rates continue to rise among 12-17 year olds.

Other researchers have found that 26% of TV ads seen by teens were for food products. The vast majority of these products contain high amounts of fat, sugar and sodium.

The groups mostly impacted by junk food ads are low income and minority teens. Since a higher percentage of fast food restaurants are in urban communities, it is obvious why teens in these areas are experiencing skyrocketing obese rates.

Since poorer and nonwhite neighborhoods also have fewer fruit and vegetable markets, bakeries, specialty stores and natural food stores, this is another reason for a high obese situation.

There are also problems in schools where teens have few healthy food choices. It's known that many middle schools and high schools offer more unhealthy foods than nutritious foods.

Many people believe schools carry a substantial burden of responsibility as well as parents in addressing childhood obesity.

The National School lunch Program serves twenty-nine million school children every day and costs American taxpayers more than 7 billion to provide "nutritionally balanced" meals.

But what happens is many students fill up on items such as soft drinks, chips and cookies which are high added sugars, fat, calories and sodium, but low in nutrition.

Such "junk foods" sold in vending machines and school stores are known as "competitive foods" because they compete with federally funded meals.

Healthy People 2010 is an organization that promotes good health practices. They are calling for schools to contribute to overall diets that meet federal dietary guidelines in the meals and snacks they serve in school lunchrooms.

Sales in schools of foods and drinks are high in calories and low in nutrients undermines this health objective. Competitive foods also undermine nutrition information taught in the classroom.

Lucrative contracts between school districts and soft drink companies for exclusive rights to sell one brand are the latest development in the increasing commercialization of school food.

These contracts, intended to elicit brand loyalty among young children who have a lifetime of purchases ahead of them are especially questionable because they place schools in the position of "pushing" soft drink consumption.

"Pouring rights" contracts deserve attention from public health professionals concerned about the nutritional quality of children's diets.

As of March 2007, federal efforts to establish consistent nationwide nutrition standards for all competitive foods and beverages sold in schools was embodied in the Child Nutritional Promotion and School Lunch Protection Act of 2007.

First introduced in both houses in May 2006, the bill was reintroduced in the 110^th Congress and has continued to enjoy bipartisan support from numerous co-sponsors.

In May 2006, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of health and Human Services released a report recommending concrete steps that the industry can take to change their marketing and other practices to make progress against childhood obesity.

Among the agencies recommendations are that food companies:

* Intensify their efforts to create new products and reformulate existing products to make them lower in calories, more nutritious, more appealing to children, and more convenient to prepare and eat.

* Review and revise their marketing practices with the goal of improving the overall nutritional profile of the products they market and sell in schools.

In 1983, food marketers spent $100 million on television advertising to kids. Today they pour roughly 150 times that amount into a variety of mediums that seek to infiltrate every corner of the children's worlds.

The average American child today is exposed to an estimated 40,000 television commercials a year - over 100 per day. Since 1980 childhood obesity rates have tripled among adolescents.

Parents must take more responsibility today than ever to monitor their children's health and diets. Look in the grocery carts of parents and you'll see which ones are taking that responsibility seriously and which ones are not.
