Podcast Intro:
Taking medication is a normal
part of many people's daily routine, and these medications are used
to treat disease and promote health. Although medications can help
you feel better and recover, it is vital to understand that all
medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, have risks as
well as benefits.
The advantages of drugs are the
beneficial results they provide when used, such as decreasing blood
pressure, curing infection, or relieving pain. But what are the
chances that anything unfavorable or unexpected may happen to you
if you utilize them? How can you assess the risks and advantages
while deciding which medications to use? How can lifestyle change,
diet, and medication help you control chronic diseases?
When the advantages of treatment
outweigh the known hazards, the FDA considers it safe enough to
approve. However, before using any medicine, as with many other
things you do on a daily basis, you should weigh the benefits and
risks in order to make the best decision for you.

Quotes:
- “Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there
is also a love of humanity.”
- “If you're tapped into your senses and nature
every while that human medicine is everywhere, from your own mind
to walking outside to harvesting invasive weeds in your
ecosystem.”
- “If you have symptoms or a disease of chronic
inflammation, you may be more vulnerable to promises of drugs
marketed by pharmaceutical companies, driven by profit for
shareholders.”
- “There's an entire mechanism established for
testing drugs. There isn't an entire mechanism established in terms
of scientific rigor for testing lifestyle changes.”
- “It just doesn't make sense to me to allow a
drug to be advertised as preventing cardiovascular disease. When
you have included lifestyle changes as an arm in the study. It's
just so crystal clear that the purpose of the study is to sell the
drug. It's not to prevent cardiovascular disease.“
- “We know why drugs can't get to the root
generation of chronic inflammation, but can alter how the body
responds to chronic inflammatory habits. But how overdosed are we
and does that hinder reversing chronic?”
- “Humans as a species are drugged at epidemic
inflationary rates.”
- “Because drugs don't sell themselves, the drug
makers buy media in the form of advertising, which in the US is
largely unregulated.”
- “Almost half of all ad dollars are centered on
prescription drugs to treat chronic conditions like arthritis,
diabetes, and depression.”
- “The conglomeration of the food industry,
advertising industry, Big Pharma and healthcare, and big media make
short-term gains for stockholders at the expense of overdosing the
population. All these trends are shepherded by the US the trend is
global”
- “Shareholders profit while the species generate
the lack of integrity and big picture solutions lead to a
physiological and psychological breakdown at the epigenetic and
genetic level.”
- “Drugs cause dysbiosis, promoting more
inflammation, hindering digestion, doubling emotional sensitivity,
and come with specific unrelated side effects.”
- “Symptoms of chronic inflammation are meant to
force our hand to wake up to develop antifragile habits of
resilience.”
- “Rewiring habits is the way out of the pain
cave.”
- “Wild habits shift your mindset towards the
positive so you can preference your future self over your current
habits leading to breakthroughs.”
