I am not against medication, but the prescribing cascade is just bonkers.
One tablet for blood pressure becomes five, because no one addressed the root cause.
When one medication ends up being a handful of medications...., Your beloved other half has been diagnosed with high blood pressure ..,
He is put on a thiazide medication(Bendroflumethiazide), which lowers BP by reducing fluid volume. It works…but...,
It also starts sending little ripple effects across the body. ,
Thiazide meds, reduce potassium. He starts experiencing symptoms of low potassium, such as cramps, palpitations and weakness No problem...,
Doc prescribes the next medication, which is an ACE inhibitor (like Ramipril). This protects potassium. Doctors do love this combo because it also improves BP. Win..win right? ...,
..not so fast ... the potassium starts rising a bit more than the doctor would like, and playing around with the medication dose is not ‘hitting the mark’...
In the meantime, the thiazide diuretic (Bendroflumethiazide), starts raising his uric acid levels.. You may have guessed it....
Out comes the painful fat red toe, aka gout, oh, it is so hot and painful! OUCH! But do not worry, the doctor prescribes Allopurinol.
Doc is practising the medicine he is trained to practice...
However, Bendroflumethiazide (you know the original medication for high blood pressure?) is causing a stir, it is creating insulin resistance and now your man has high HbA1c (diabetes?)
Don’t worry...seriously...,
He is prescribed Metformin by his doctor for the high blodo sugar levels. The doctor is doing what he is trained to do.
But..., You are not happy, since all these meds, he can’t ‘get it up’!
..and for the first time in your life, you have the whole house to yourself...kids all grown up and gone.
You begin to like the look of the new man next door. This man seems even more attractive since your man takes no responsibility for his health.
But hold, on...your other half has just come back from the doctors with.... Vi**ra... 😍
He is hoping this will ‘fix everything’...
This is how one medication leads to another, then another, then another...
Guess who is happy?
Big Pharma! Big Pharma is very happy.,
A customer for life
But your health does not have to snowball like this.
💥 Responsibility AND the right support changes everything. 💥
If you (or rather your other half 😉) wants to get off the medication merry-go-round and heal what’s driving the symptoms…book in with my team.
We (my team of practitioners) help you reverse the cascade instead of adding to it, WITHOUT relying on any lifetime customer kick backs 😉.
Healed clients are the best, as they become empowered, take responsibility and pop back for comprehensive tests to stay 'ontop' of their health yearly.. 🧡
Prevention is much better than cure.
