RANT! Drugs, Drugs, and more Drugs!~by Dr. Vicky Thomas

As I walk into my new office I am greeted by a shelf filled with pamphlets from drug manufacturers. It looks like trash, and sits outside a cardiology office. As I peruse the pamphlets, the titles look like adds for “the perfect life.” Like, one has a group of men wearing heard hats, and says, “RELIEF…for hard working heartburn.” (How about eating right?) Another, “Are you getting a full nights sleep from your current sleep aid?” (Try oh, perhaps a warm bath and…oh, might I say it?…a hypnosis cd?) And my favorite, “Take ___________ and gain control over your life!” This one was for a bone density drug.

Ok, so I know the truth about these drugs and the 50 others represented on that ugly shelf. Take the bone density one, and your bones turn brittle, and you get indigestion, for which you are prescribed the purple one, which leaches the calcium from your body, and gives you anxiety, for which you are prescribed an antidepressant, which has side effects of impotence and more irrational thoughts, for which you are prescribed stronger antidepressants which give you high blood pressure, etc, etc, etc. This is simple craziness. Do you know the side effects of ALL of your medications and what medications you are taking to “cure” those side effects? Listen as we actually follow the path of medications and destruction on our show Monday. We laugh about it, but really…

It’s sad that when I ask my patients to list side-effects of their current meds, they are unaware. However, when we aide their return to health with simple education, they can hardly believe that they were once coerced and trained to take their dose of harmful chemicals which were cleverly described as life enhancing via the media. Dr Mills, you are a credit to all who seek health. Thank you for sharing.

  Dr. Livingston, I presume…I bet you hear that daily! You are welcome for the sharing, however, that was me, Dr. Thomas who wrote that last bit about my rant on drugs and their side effects. I hope I’m a credit too! Dr. Mills is floating somewhere in the Atlantic today, having a blast, I hope. ~ Dr. Vicky Thomas : )
