An Ounce of Preventionby Dr. Regan Golob |

Doctors who perform autopsies to determine
the cause of death frequently remark that they wonder not what
caused the death, but what kept the person alive so long! An
article by Royal Lee, president of the Lee Foundation for
Nutritional Research, quotes Prof. Ray Slocum of Dodge Chemical
Company, who has some interesting comments about common drugs and
their side effects on the body. According to Prof. Slocum, the steroid drugs like cortisone used for arthritis, skin conditions, asthma and allergies may produce ulcers of the digestive tract, resulting in bleeding and ulcerative colitis. They can also make the cells more resistant to the passage of fluids into the tissues. Estrogen and progesterone can upset the salt balance in the body, causing fluid retention. Oral diabetes drugs can cause enlargement and cirrhosis of the liver. Tranquilizers cause disorganization and destruction of red blood cells and enlargement of the spleen and liver. They can result in kidney failure. Thyroid medication causes hardening of the arteries. We all need to remember that waiting until our bodies are in trouble, and then relying on drugs and medications to address the situation is like trying to restore a flower to its original beauty after the petals have fallen off. |
Our bodies are miraculous creations and
very adaptable to the abuse we heap on them in our modern
civilization, but eventually they crack under the strain.
"We never miss our health until the reserves have run
dry". The best insurance is to practice preventive medicine
