Comments by Mike Adams, the Health RangerWhen it comes to pharmaceuticals, the term "side effects" is commonly used and generally understood to indicate something undesirable. But what many people don't realize is that all the effects are side effects. In other words, if you ingest a foreign chemical (a medication), it's going to produce certain biochemical effects in the body. Some of those effects are toxic and dangerous, and they're typically called "side effects." Other effects are considered "good" (like chemically suffocating the liver so it doesn't produce cholesterol) and they're called "therapeutic effects." But in reality, they're all side effects. None of them are natural effects, and none of them are fundamentally compatible with natural human biochemistry. Although there are some exceptions, most drugs work by hijacking the body's biochemistry, not by supporting it or complementing it. Cholesterol lowering drugs, for example, work by artificially shutting off cholesterol synthesis in the liver. But cholesterol isn't the enemy here. It's actually necessary for the production of sex hormones and vitamin D, and blocking cholesterol production directly interferes with the body's own natural production of CoQ10 for cellular energy. That's why people who take statin drugs often feel exhausted, depleted and near death's door. Sure, their cholesterol number is lower. But at what cost to their health? I find it amazing how quick consumers are to accept the damaging side effects of prescription drugs, even when those drugs offer only a slight improvement in some observable "therapeutic" effect that may not actually have any health benefit anyway. To use the same example, statin drugs really do lower the numbers representing cholesterol numbers in lab tests, but research shows that artificially lowered cholesterol saves no lives and does nothing to reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes, especially in women. So, sure, the number is lower, but the patient is no healthier because of it! It's sort of like taking a group of low-IQ schoolchildren with failing math scores and giving them all a 25% scoring bonus just to help them pass the tests. They may end up with higher scores, but are they really any smarter? Of course not. And people taking cholesterol drugs aren't any healthier, either. Clever marketing gimmicks ensnare trusting consumersThe marketing of pharmaceuticals is based on exaggerating miniscule "benefits" of these patented chemicals while minimizing their enormous risks. Through fraudulent science, distorted advertising, corruption of regulators and a mainstream media happy to promote any agenda that generates repeat advertising dollars, the pharmaceutical industry is able to convince most Americans that synthetic chemicals are actually good for their health! At the same time, these consumers are taught by doctors that vitamins are dangerous, herbs are unproven and sunlight will kill you.Related CounterThink Cartoons:
