How Common Prescriptions Influence Nutritional Status

Why do we love our Healing Gardens natural Pharmacy?

Because our Doctors know the risks of Medications...

Nearly every drug that doctors prescribe has side effects, and some are severe.

Pharmaceuticals can cause dire nutritional deficiencies of which most people are simply unaware. Below are some of the most commonly prescribed medications and the dangerous nutritional deficiencies they can cause.

How Common Prescriptions Influence Nutritional Status

Instead of targeting superficial symptoms, the therapeutics these integrative physicians use include first and foremost optimizing deficiencies, assisting the body to de-inflame and detoxify so it can optimize all of its metabolic steps and heal.  We want to work on a deep and holistic level by treating the root cause of disease and restoring the well-being of the body and mind as a whole.

An Alternative to Antidepressants

Let's take antidepressants for example. These drugs are among the most widely used pharmaceuticals ever. Some 15.5 million people in the U.S. have been on antidepressants for five years, and 8.5 million have been on the drugs for a decade or more.

From the list above, you can see that taking antidepressants could cause nutrient depletion of Folate and Vitamin B12. These drugs also put you at higher risk for heart attacks and cause symptoms like weight gain, insomnia, headaches, muscle pain, blood clotting, and reduced libido.

So, before you turn to antidepressants or any medication let us investigate your systems, deficiencies, and overall health to assist in coming up with some other options.
