In most cases the traditional doctor’s education in medical school is about the same for all its students, so conventional doctor’s treatments are not usually the best ones.

Recently my wife was admitted to the hospital because of chest pains. After several days of tests it was determined she had a partial blockage in one of her arteries and a stent was inserted. The doctor prescribed two high blood pressure prescriptions and two other drugs.

Lipitor was prescribed for keeping her arteries more clear and Pravix was for thinning the blood. Since I couldn’t be in attendance when he decided on inserting a stent I had no voice in the procedure. Maybe that was the best or only choice but had I been there I would have questioned his decision first
.
What I’m really not happy about is the Lipitor and the Pravix. Had I been present the day of the doctor’s decision I would have made two recommendations for these two drugs.

For the Lipitor I would have recommended fish oil and for the Pravix I would have recommended Nattokinase. Both are natural substitute with no dangerous side effects.

Both of the doctor’s recommendations are statin drugs which have been known many issues that can have adverse effect from taking them.

LIPITOR

Here is the warning on the prescription label: You need to get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives, difficulty breathing, and swelling of your face lips, tongue or throat.

In addition other side effect is:
* Unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness
* Confusion, memory problems
* Fever, usual tiredness and dark colored urine, swelling, weight gain, urinating less than usual or not at all.
* Increase thirst, increased urination, hunger, dry mouth, fruity breath odor.

PRAVIX

It inhibits platelet aggregation and thus inhibits aspects of blooding. (Product is a blood thinner. Side effect is:
* Nosebleed or other bleeding that will not stop
* Bloody or terry stools, bloody urine
* coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds
* Chest pain or heavy feeling pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling
* Sudden numbness.

Here’s the thing with conventional doctors. Unless they have had any additional knowledge of nutrition or alternative methods of healing they will not prescribe anything else but prescription drugs.

Even though people might not experience any or very few side effects from these drugs why not use the natural means to treat any medical concerns you may have?

The thing about natural and alternative healing methods is you never experience what happens with taking any prescription drug?

Constantly imputing prescription drugs in your body will eventually cause serious problems to your body you do not need. Consequently constant natural healing methods, vitamins and supplements will build a healthy body and help to defend your body from any illness or disease you may might encounter.

It’s hard to convey that message to the average person today because they have been so brainwashed by the medical community and big Pharma about prescription drugs.

Author's Bio: 

Born in Jeffersonville, IN Sonny spent most of his adult life in the family florist business. Becoming dissatisfied with it at the age 42 years he left it to begin a 20 year career in sales. He became a sales supervisor and spent the rest of his working years in that profession.

He is now a retired senior citizen and a health and wellness researcher and author. He is a strong advocate of alternative and natural healing methods. He has been vigorously researching this subject for over 10 years and has published it in three different eBooks.

Sonny’s plan to do this researching was prompted by the results of a visit to his wife’s oncologist to talk to him about treatment for her diagnosed breast cancer condition. Sonny recommended that she be treated with alternative and natural healing methods. He refused but his wife accepted the doctor’s recommendations.

After leaving his office that day Sonny vowed to spend the rest of his life researching for alternative and natural methods of healing which he still continues to do to this very day. His research was directed to areas on the Internet dealing with authorities in alternative medicine and natural healing. It included publications, newsletters, websites and even special reports of naturopathic and holistic doctors. He was also interested in any research on alternative and natural healings done by any specialist in that field.

In addition because of his past interest in sales he also did extensive research on self - development issues. His passion in life has always been to share this vital information so others will be able to develop a healthy and prosperous lifestyle that they greatly desire.
