Thank you for this video. It is important for olks to know the info you have provided here. As a physician, I appreciate your effort in educating the public. This should be made available to patients when prescribed any of these, but out docs' offices are too rushed to do so.
My friend's mom just sent some DNA to a lab and they told her what vitamins she was lacking. She started taking those vitamins and is now off all her meds and feeling good. Nature's healing power.
Could you share the lab name? Been trying to get chemicals out of diet, and replace minerals. This would be perfect thing to do. Thank you. God’s blessings
I just entered the medical care world at age 73, its amazing how hard Drs work to try to convince people to take the drugs! We have the most amazing tool to find information on the internet, educate yourself and say NO. thank you for info like this!
And they are trying to control health food stores...did you know one-a-day and centrum are made by Pfizer and Bayer...2 if the biggggggg pharmas...scary
Better late, than never. Now wake up those around you and learn how to grow and prepare medicinal herbs. You might want to check out Barbara O'Neil. Make sure you are on her page and not someone pretending to be her.
My doc was insisting for a year and a half that I take a statin. I asked why? She said that all of her patients my age are on a statin. I replied that age was not a good reason to be on a statin. After a year and a half of this, she "fired" me as a patient for having a "lack of trust".
Just FYI..... The doctors have to meet a number of "benchmarks" with each patient. One is that all patients must be prescribed a statin if their cholesterol is high, or if they're over 40 if I remember correctly. Another is that you MUST be offered your flu shot and other immunizations. If those (and many other ones) are not met, the reimbursement from insurance and/or medicare/medicaid is severely reduced.
Our doctors will prescribe these medications knowing they cause harm. My brother aged 66 was diagnosed with high blood pressure 20+ years ago and was put on Beta blockers. I also suffered high blood pressure at the same time and chose to use natural remedies. I am 2 years younger. My brother was diagnosed with kidney failure last year and also had a tumor removed from his bladder which turned out to be bladder cancer. On his autopsy report it stated Bladder cancer and kidney failure due to long term use of Beta blockers. Don't trust your doctor, once you get any diagnosis seek natural remedies, your life may depend on it.
I am so sorry. My husband and I are in our early 60’s and we both use blood pressure medicine and have distinct signs of dementia. My kidneys and bladder give me a lot of pain and trouble. Can you please describe the natural blood pressure remedies that you use? Thanks
@@awakenyewhosleeprealityisn4860 try natto japanese fermented soybeans. In the beginning it tast not good but i like it now. Slowly my blood pressure comes down.
Cut out sugar, processed foods, high fructose corn syrup, all seed oils except high quality olive oil, cut out carbs, eat meat and vegetables and watch your health and weight change.
@@janicestewart7546not everyone can get away with that, my mom lived on sugar she went crazy and died at 73, and it wasn't just dying she was NUTS the last few months...
@janicestewart7546 Yes I agree. Will be 83 next year and eat everything. Love my chocolates and grape juice and lots of cream. Don't drink water. God protects me because I am His child.
When my doctor put me on statins, I immediately noticed that I forgot a lot of things, specifically pots on the stove. I stopped taking them and will NEVER take statins ‼️‼️‼️
Hubby started getting lost when driving & making several rookie driver mistakes. Once driving wrong way into oncoming lanes. I asked his doctor to change him from zocor to newer pravastatin. Much improved but also side effects unknown on pravastatin.
I refused statins also. I took it for about a week and could immediately feel a slight pressure in the frontal lobe of my brain. I mean, I literally felt it. I said Absolutely Not!!
Statins were pressed on me 20 years ago by both doctors and family members. I would have had diminished ability in my memory and possibly alzheimers by now if I had been obedient! I'm 77 this year and my brain still works! Just cooked a large ham dinner for my granddaughters big family and was still able to help cleanup after te kids ate, as well
@@teresaminick1169 Doc placed me on three different ones. All same effects, diminished cognition, muscle pains.. every possible side effects. Nope. NEVER taking them ‼️
I worked in PH and i saw my sister with cancer and my dad had big mental loss because of medicine. The physicians i worked with advised me to not take any medication unless i absolutely have to. I have done this so i still have my thinking abilities at 75 .😊
The natural treatment for gastric problems ir any health issues should be the first thing they tell their patient BEFORE putting them on any big pharma drug.
Add more vinegar in your diet, change from creamy salad dressings instead use vinegar and oil based dressings for salads there are natural ways to lower high blood pressure
Salad Dressing...Play with Proportions, Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Maple Sugar, Orange Peel, Mustard Powder S&P... Our Organic Market Makes and Sells This Daily. Goes Quickly!
I changed my medical doctor because he refused to address my health concerns. No advice or prescriptions. I had side effects from the prescriptions I was ordered to take. Was reprimanded for not taking them. Was told to go to urgent care for some serious health problems. The urgent care and emergency care doctors wrote prescriptions for ppi, headaches, pain. Neither those doctors nor the pharmacy gave me any indication that there would be unfortunate side effects, and certainly no warning that long term use would be very serious. Thank you for this video, to make it more clear and bring awareness! On the positive side, my family had some old world, folksy advice. The advice is not scientific, and not medical advice. But they worked for me. Drinking herbal tea at the first indication of distress. Herbs like mint, or chamomile, or parsley. Drink after dinner or a spicy meal. Drink around 3 hours before bedtime. Eat cooked beets, like one bite to 1 cup, with a little vinegar and a tiny bit of salt, or a little bit of salad dressing, for heart burn. Advice like that. If you are allergic or it doesn’t work, then try something else. But most people found these folk remedies work. Even for sleep inducing. Imagine that!
Most of us are not given informed consent by our doctors. I was on Benzos for 30 years and was taken off Cold turkey. I have been off 5 years this month and the suffering is very profound! Still have neurological issues and all sorts of other symptoms but I continue to improve every year. I am on benzo groups online with the support of others going through Benzo Hell as we call it. I am also almost off Omeprazole but tapering this. Everyone please do your research and go natural to save your life❤ BIG PHARMA IS YOUR DEALER, NOT YOUR HEALER😊 God Bless this Broken world❤
@@TheLahoney how do I contact a Benzo group. Which benzo did you have a problem with. Is valium a benzo? BTW , I used omeprazole for a few Yrs FOR Gerd & A HIATAL hernia( thats trying to kill me) . after a while I found it was not helping. Transitioned to protonix 6 wks ago & it seems to be helping but only time will tell for how long 🤔 . Thank you 😊
@TheLahoney - I took them for 33 years and tapered for 2 years to get off. I did not sleep. I've been off for 6 years and still have withdrawal symptoms all the time. This is called BIND aka Benzodiazepine Induced Neurological Disorders. There are many videos on You Tube, some by doctors who have it, about how to help you deal with BIND. I am not improving, except for sleeping a few hours nighty now, and have become a hermit due to inability to regulate my emotions and other issues. I am glad to hear you are improving and I pray things keep on improving for you. It is so unjust that drug companies make billions from these harmful drugs and are never held accountable for destroying our lives.
I'm a recovered alcoholic of 42 years and I salute you. The side effects and then years of stabilizing yourself after these drugs are unbelievable. Just for today, my friend. God be with you🙏
@@salgaltrixie8265 The best group to be in for tapering is Benzo Warrior Community that I am in and there you will learn of other groups and Yes valium is a benzodiazepine. I wish I could send you a friend request or had some way to contact you, but it's kind of hard to do it on here. Everyone would be getting a hold of me!!! If you join the community put your user name from here in the group and I will see it!!! A lot of really good support here!!!
As an experienced Neuro Step-down RN, I developed drop-foot from a fall and 8 months later I had a full-blown cerebellum stroke that took out my left side. After the drop-foot, I was given cyclobenzaprine 10mg q8 hrs, and clonazepam 1mg q BID. It works for me, although anything I can’t remember I usually blame on my strokes (I’ve had several CVA’s and TIA’s since the first stroke. I taught myself (by GOD’s grace) to walk again, although I use a cane (balance is still an issue), but due to the political climate here in the USA, I am scared! Although, I am an American citizen, I was born in Cuba in 1962. I hate communism and it scares me that we are almost there. Therefore, my anxiety has gone through the roof!
Young ppl, my kids included, have been dumbed down about Communism. My huge library system does NOT have a copy of Gulag Archipelago. And the government has become self-dealing mobsters, i.e. Communists enslaving us.
@Angel: I don't pretend to have your knowledge of communism as you knew it in Cuba. However, America is a democracy and must remain so: whoever told you it's close to communism is a deluded trumpanzee.
No country in the world practices communism today. Dictatorships and Fascist governments do exist in some countries and that's what really scares you and me.
Beware Clonazapam bad for you very addictive Research Benzodiazepine side effects and all the people who go through hell after being on it or those who try to go off it!!
This is why I don't take any medications without researching first. I was prescribed 80mg of Atorvistatin for slightly elevated cholesterol and felt like I was dying. The prescribing Dr never even discussed side effects. I have acid reflux and I make cabbage juice and drink on an empty stomach every morning and I haven't had a flare up since.I will only take a medication if it's needed to save my life, such as during or after surgery. I try to always use herbs or diet changes.
Look at High Intensity Health channel. Your Dr may tell you high cholesterol is bad, but the brain is made up of fat, we need higher cholesterol the older we get. Look up carnivore, keto, low carb diets. Cholesterol is good for the brain.
Be SURE the baking SODA is 100% pure from Arizona USA. Company that sell Arm&Hammer baking soda. Ok! 😊 Also, AVOID using tooo much, too often. Baking soda can harm your precious KIDNEYS & Bladder functions. Use baking SPARINGLY. 1/8 TSP. up to 1/4 tsp. Per 12 oz. glass of filtered water. Sip, sip,sip, sip slowly. Take an hour if possible to drink your remedy for acid reflux. Great Results!!! Safer this method. ❤❤ Long Healthy Life to U all!!!
@@sandrachilders3753 drinking a glass of water with about a teaspoon of vinegar and lemon is supposed to heal your gut. It helped me a lot. I use Tumes when heart burn gets bad. It works better then anything I've tried.
I'm sorry, doctors are legal drug dealers, a patient on the prescriptions they hand out are nothing but an experiment that by the way also makes money for them, they get kick backs from the pharmaceutical companies
My question on Statins is - how can they protect the Heart when they weaken it. The heart is a Muscle and a series of muscles, Statins weaken muscles....such as the Heart being a muscle. So actually its working against the Heart not for it,
Been taking Statins for over 20 yrs with no problems. No muscle weakness other than what old age gives you. Some people I know have had muscle cramping or pain with Statins, must be a body tolerance issue.
Statins decrease the bad cholesterol that builds up in arteries that lead to the heart and cause plaque which can rupture and then cause a heart attack.

My Grandmother passed with dementia at 94, lost my aunt to the same thing. My dad is now 92 and has dementia. My dad never took medicine for anything. He has always been very healthy. This is the first time I have ever seen him with a sickness.
Omeprazole has also been indicated in bone thinning and osteoporosis. Nothing like pathological fractures in your hip bones and spine. I use beano for heartburn, and gas. They are digestive enzymes. I had issues with loose stool and hours long heartburn. Took beano for three days, it all stopped.
@phyllisdoreenhutton Beano is an over the counter chewable tabs that supply digest enzymes. You need more than gastric acid and beneficial bacteria to help you digest food. When you have burps and parts and heartburn it's because you are only partially digesting your food. Loose stool also goes along with this. People take Lactaid pills who don't have the enzymes to digest milk and milk products.
@mikaelafox6106 yes. I love tacos with refried beans, but they don't love me. I take beano before or after I eat beans and I don't get gas, burping, farts or loose stool. And NO heartburn.
I've been taking Gabapentin for nearly 8 yrs now and I believe it is the problem with me losing my equilibrium and strength in my muscles. I can only walk aa few f eet without m y muscles g iving out. And I need to have one of those rolators to walk even in my apartment. Before I was taking the medication I was doing things like camping in Germany with my friend,swiming in the pool,and even playing raquetball. Now,I'm pretty much done for. Plus Gabapentin is addictive,...which I wasnt told by my doctor. I was a street kid on the Blvd in Hollywood during the 70s,and never got addicted to anything. I come to Phoenix and get a doctor and he ruined me.
I'm 72 and had to stop taking all my perscriptions because they were killing me. My Meds were helping my stomach but destroying my kidneys and liver. Thats not a good trade off for me.
For my high blood pressure I use Diazepan, hyperrium, Zanipress and bisorprolol. I ask Dr. to reduce the medications, no way. She dont help. Now I do it my self to get 1 tablet in 4 parts and build it off like that 3/4 for one week then 2/4 and then 1/4 and then stop. One tablet on the time. So it takes 4 months to build it off. The medication ruined my life. Get light in the head till falling down and lot of headaches. Freaks me out. Get now extra magnesium and Gingko biloba all by my self. Life in Portugal the doctors are holy here.
Interesting method of reducing drugs. Doctors push drugs as per pharma. At least here. My long-term Doctor and I are at impass of Statins. I'm not taking them . And I'm going to use your method to cut down Diabetes drug. My husband died with many ailments starting from liver transplant. I think died of too many different drugs
@@sandrachilders3753 If you look up carnivore vids, they go into why the early tests weren't done accurately and that we need more cholest. We've been giving wronginfo
From what I have read grapefruit juice is warned against using for anyone taking blood pressure medication. Why? Because it lowers your blood pressure! Once you’re off maybe try grapefruit juice.
I've been on Bisoprolol Fumarate for about 4yrs and now have issues with dizziness and black outs. Fucking pharma products may alleviate a symptom, but never the underlying cause. Questioning doctors only seems to piss them off. Oh, what a wonderful world we live in 🤪
I agree. Had 2 episodes with it, first with Neurontin and 10 years later with Gabapentin. I didn't know that they were the same chemical composition and followed the MD's advice in prescribing it. Made me insane and feel like I was living outside of reality plus loss of muscle control and the constant feeling that I was rocking. It's bad stuff.
@@papakrampus3062 They literally had Me take 1800 MG daily and it completely messed with My cognitive skills and function. I tried to cold turkey get off it and failed....must wean off slowly. I'm glad You're not using it now. I will handle pain and keep My brain!! Have a great day!!
I’m 60 years old. Four years ago I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia. I’ve been taking omeprazole since the removal of my gall bladder when I was 38. In June I had my hiatal hernia repaired. Surgery went very well. I no longer need that omeprazole. I was at the highest strength 40 mg.
@rangers9848 I've been suffering from a hiatal hernia for 10+ years , in addition to several other health issues. It's gotten bigger but no dr. , G.I. or Primary is mentioning surgery to repair it. Actually , one G.I. Dr mentioned it & said she'd have "someone" contact me about it. "Someone " never did , & the recommending Dr. left her practice. I'm more than ok w that bc I didn't really want to continue w her . Can you please share how & what was done to repair your H.hernia. I know there's more than one method of repair : mesh & another is called fundoplication (?spelling??). I'm suffering daily , & it affects my life drastically. Any info you can provide will be enormously appreciated. BTW , I'm in NYC , are you as well ? Thank you very very much 😊 🎉 . I hope you are still enjoying the benefit of the surgery .
My usual VA doctor was out the day I had an appointment and his replacement was going over my meds and asked if I was still taking the statin. I told him I never took it all because it causes muscle breakdown, I just take niacin for the cholesterol. He said, "Yeah, you're better taking niacin instead". These doctors are killing us because of their greed with big pharma filling their pockets.
@@somethingsburning774 thanks, I have heard that. My opinion if it doesn't make you feel better, it's a no. That goes for antidepressants too. Why keep taking something and you don't feel better, what's the point. They tend to add more drugs that still don't make you feel better. 🙄 I'm in my 60s...I know we are just their guinea pigs. You can tell by all the commercials they air.

UK ME/CFS patient here. I am prescribed low dose of Amitriptyline as suggested in the hand book. My short term memory is terrible. After watching this It would be good for me to stop taking it. I can not sleep without it so I need to find an alternative sleep help. Thank for the video 👍
I do not take any of these drugs but I do take some natural alternatives. For example instead of taking drugs for heartburn I try to prevent heartburn by figuring out what gives me heartburn. Aside from the obvious like alcohol and overeating, I try not to eat late and avoid overly spicy food. Some alternatives for heartburn are systemic enzymes, which will actually help your body digest better, and I use a chewable tablet made from essential oils which works way better than OTC remedies. As for statins, I believe that long term use of statins caused severe cognitive decline for my Mother. Consider questioning if cholesterol is actually bad for you. Your liver makes it and that is what the body was designed to do. Read up on vitamin k2. It’s a fascinating read. There is probably a safer natural alternative for all of these problems.
But, that would not make any $$$$$$ for Big PHARMA!!!!!!!! The companies in BIG PHARMA NEVER WANT TO CURE YOU; they just WANT TO MKE $$$$$ OFF OF OUR SUFFERING!!!!!!!!!!🤢🤮🤬🤯🐍🤡👹💉
My mom passed away from dementia.They had her on several different medications.Watching tv only stimulates one part of the brain but if she stayed doing games on the computer and listening to music it stimulates all of your brain.I'm in Ct and she lived in Fl with her husband.We told him not to let her just watch tv.I noticed it 5 years before she passed and she had short term loss but she could remember stuff from the 50's and 60's.
Yea. I had to have several brain surgeries. Struggled alot. But I started doing fill-in and suduko puzzle books. It helped dramatically to keep my brain functioning.. So I totally agree with u.
What initially caught my attention of the Statin dangers was a group of Cardiologists who banded together in a video to point-out the risks. The four docs also stated they'd NEVER prescribe Statins for their patients and had never done so. That caught my attention. I'd already cut my Lipitor in half for a year before quitting them. I eat as clean as possible now. Cut white/processed sugars down by 70 percent or more. I do not eat margarine, ever. Olive oil, Avocado oil, and Coconut Oil are the only oils I use now. Lean meats, and no more than 3 ounces at a time. Eggs, seldom but I do eat them sometimes. I am working on my diet to control the fat in my blood. I'm also losing at least 1.5 pounds a week to help with the issues we elderly folk face. Eating cleaner, for sure and I hope I get to that pure place of eating clean someday soon!
I was occasionally on Zoltex (something related to omeprazole) 40 mg per day for heartburn problems but in the end it was prolonged to years. Then I completely stopped taking it and instead I take 5 (or more) almonds, ground or in slices (to prevent breaking a tooth!) after each meal or drink. It works! Even after coffee! So I can enjoy coffee again. Surprisingly almonds seem to have reduced my otherwise slightly higher cholesterol levels (since I stopped taking statins) as a positive side effect. What a blessing! Worth trying for everybody!
@@Rebecca-r7h Good idea! When I first heard to take almonds to neutralize stomach acid, I just couldn't believe it is serious. Then when I used it and it worked immediately, I was delighted because no matter what I ate or drank, the acid tormented me high up in the aesophagus and for a long time. Blessed almonds!
@@robertharrie4513 I know Too many doctors that have confirmed it to be True. It's the way of Capitalism. As long as everyone except the Mark, Oh Sorry, I meant Patient, gets a Cut🤗😥😓🙃
The commercials for medications always list the possible side effects and they are lengthy. Sometimes you need to weigh the problem you are having or the pain you deal with daily,against the possible side effects. If you cant breathe you wont live long
They did not used to tell you anything, then they started giving a short list of side effects…it’s only been the last few years that they have commercials about meds. I hear those and I’d die before swallowing one!
I’ve been on medication‘s and had side effects that they don’t even bother to list. That’s why I really don’t like taking unnecessary medication. If they even so much as tell me something I don’t like about the medication I don’t take it. And that’s my constitutional right.
Talk to your Dr., The sad thing is your Dr should know these things, I'm 55 and on one type of every one of these meds other than Adderall , but took as a child. I've been on Xanax for over 20 yrs with a number of different anti depressants for panic attacks and for the past ten yrs for meds for high blood pressure and my memory is bad like real bad 😞
If people eat a simple natural diet, meat, fish,eggs, full fat dairy once in a while, there's no problems, but when sugar&carbohydrates far exceed the main diet problems then occur. People really eat too much rubbish.
@@martineleven8179 I had mostly large salads for dinners but my dressings were alot of seed oils.. rotisserie chicken with a veggie.. I'd eat decent food for main meals but my downfall was bingng on sugar cereals, muffins, brownies, ritzcrackrs over the years.
I know from personal experience that even antibiotics like strong forms of Penicillin for extended periods, such as used for eliminating staph infections can also cause memory problems and make it difficult to concentrate when talking, even to the point of forgetting common words. Also, use of pain medication like Tylenol with codeine can cause the same issues.
I also read that a popular overactive bladder medication also can cause dementia. I stop taking it and strangely, my bladder felt much better and is not overactive any longer. Always do your research.
I was also prescribed beta blockers for high b.p. That just about finished my legs, as no-one took any notice until I collapsed in the drs surgery and a locum said - ‘Stop that drug - I’ve seen this happen before,’. so I’ve been in a wheelchair ever since. My dear husband was my carer, but he died nearly a year ago. So I’ve just experienced the worst year of my life!
My mother is 90, she has never been sick. Her physical health is excellent even now, she never had to drink any medications. My mother developed dementia at 85.
Dementia can also be due to B12 deficiency. It's called B12 deficiency dementia and if caught early enough can be completely reversed. Unfortunately, after 5 years damage is permanent, though some improvement may be possible. The protocol for neurological issues like this is hydroxocobalamin or preferably methycobalamin injectiona daily for a week, then once a week for a month, then monthly. The book "Could it be B12" is highly recommended. Apparently, something like 20% of "Alzheimer's" is in fact B12 deficiency dementia and could be reversed if correctly diagnosed. Other deficiencies that can cause dementia include Thiamine and Niacin.
Please stop telling people to go to doctors and take advice from them. They're not interested in losing their "customers". I see them as legal, glorified dope pushers. 😡😤🚫💊💉
Our bodies are breaking down because of all the chemicals that are inside of the food that we are eating specially eating in the restaurants fast food restaurants are really bad for us especially McDonald's everybody loves McDonald's french fries but look at the salt that we can taste in it we are eating more salt and that one french fries that we do in a whole meal that we cook at home look at all the salt that is in the canned food we don't need all that salt and then we eat it just in one sit down even if it's a Campbell's Soup read the labels of the canned food it needs the salt to keep it processed for years to come let's save our mind in our bodies by cooking healthy foods at home a salad a boiled egg a egg sandwich a tuna sandwich a fresh melon water coconut water strawberry water coffee also destroys your mind I'm taking this advice myself and I'm going to do something about it starting today I was looking at videos about this yesterday and I have decided I want to live longer

@@SheriChaires Thank you. Her name was Gisela and she was consuming Amphetamines and Alkohol already for a very long time. She got her Ritalin from her psychiatrist but snored it to get high. She was once a very beautiful woman but in the years before her dead, she declined mentally. She lived with social security and was most of the time alone at home. End of May 2014, I visited her for the last time, we both took drugs, I then went home after partying, but she continued. Days later she died, but she laid deaad for 2 weeks before police opened the door. I helped sorting out some furniture 2 months later and it still smelt really bad. She died in the bathroom. Later I visited her mom and she told me tha the cause was an Aneurysma. I stopped taking drugs after this incident for 8 years.

A lot of people would rather take the drugs than make changes to their diet and lifestyle because it's easier and sadly, a lot of people out there are lazy.
Sometimes some people are in such bad shape from these medications they have a harder time with making changes, and may seem more lazy (because of it). Always try to make changes before you get too badly off that you can't do it!
Very good content! More people need to know what these medicines are doing to their bodies. It also needs to be shown what to do nutrition wise to stimulate their memory as well. I know there are supplements for memory being advertised but do they really work and what do they do to the brain?
Also it should be told all about "HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP" in all our cold drinks! They're trying to kill us and the general public has no idea. They think it's all about taste.
Lipitor is a downhill slide, started having memory problem within months, took me years to get it back after i stopped. Also had to take insulin after 3 months on lipitor.
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid. It also binds to receptors in your brain much like antidepressants do. That’s why is gives you a small sense of dysphoria. And it’s a drug that doctors prescribe before other opioids because they say it’s less addictive. I think that’s based on the fact that they prescribe it in smaller doses (compared with natural opioids). I think it’s a good pain reliever for short term use, like after an accident or post op. But I think it’s a terrible long term use drug. I was on it for chronic back pain for 5 years. I’ve developed a lot of symptoms that might not be attributed to the tramadol. I also have a goiter and I’m waiting to see an endocrinologist. But as I increase the use of tramadol I started experiencing shortness of breath with activity. Even just minor activity like walking. I also felt unsteady and feeling like I’m going to fall. I spent over a year trying with the doctor to figure out what was wrong. Like I said I’m waiting to see an endocrinologist. But meanwhile I also felt like I was having withdrawal symptoms. So I figured I needed to get off all meds and see if my symptoms improved. It took over 3 weeks for the “shivers” to go away. Since then my SOB and dizziness and almost falling backwards several times has improved but not gone away completely. I’m praying that after I have my diseased nodules removed (and I started taking vitamins with iodine) I can get back to normal. I don’t think tramadol was too great for my brain because I also have difficulty with word finding and short term memory issues starting. I agree with you 100%
As a nurse on a unit that participated in a study to test Tramadol before it was released as a safe drug to replace narcotics, I can attest to fact that no issues short term with amazing reduction in recovery times due to effectiveness andcactual pain relief.. The participants agreed to remain in study after discharge. Never did hear the actual outcome prior to its release. I took it short term after several surgeries with no apparent issues.
America, alone, takes more prescription drugs than the entire world combined! It’s all about money. Ozempic was made in Europe, but outlawed there; so Americans are where they make their billions of dollars.
My father never took any of those drugs and his mind was gone by his mid 70s. He did drink a lot of cheap red wine, though. Who honestly knows where that "wine," was made and what it contained.
Interested in knowing what temazepam did… people trust their doctors and think they are doing the right thing, only to find out that our healthcare system is very broken. We definitely need to get away from drugs as much as possible!
It is also suspected that statins impair the immune system,and considering they are widely prescribed to seniors, provides another explanation to why seniors were so impacted by covid
Other sites list the same and state the same reasons not to take. Even if you have no illness or condition listed here, take care with sleep medication taken nightly. I take melatonin as needed. For muscle tightness, simple low dose aspirin-dilates the blood vessels. You have to figure out dosages for yourself. I fiddled with the melatonin dosage on Friday nights to see how I felt in the morning. My first tries had me groggy in the morning. I reduced the dose by biting the pill in half. Even with this, I take care to exhaust myself with hard, manual work two or three times a week to give my brain a rest from all drugs but its own. If only our doctors would tell us all this . . . .
Dear friend, the best way to avoid drugs is as you are trying to sleep message your brain by saying relax, relax, relax and rest blank everything else and just focus on these words in your head. You will actually fall asleep. I've done it and it works for me. Insomnia is because your mind is working overtime.
Taking melatonin is risky though, because it can cause your body to stop making enough for you to naturally fall alseep, so be careful. This is actually true of any non-organic vitamins (ie. artificial). Same applies to those vitamin supplements people like to take. You'll get the artificial version, but at the same time, it may mean that your body won't digest enough of the natural vitamin from the foods you eat, so I would take melatonin with caution. In my experience, simply changing my diet made melatonin supplements (and most supplements) unecessary. If you are having a hard time falling alseep, look at your life style and your diet first.

I literally had to wean down and off myself all while they kept sending 5-6 more pills! I will be giving them to monitor(takes back unused medications to dispose of safely)soon. It is all about money honey, I have $1000s of dollars in unused medications(I informed the pharmacy for almost a year I didn't take them!)they kept sending. He may truly need to wean down and off them to save his mental health and life. Please be patient for the 2 or 3 months while weaning him. Sometimes the brain just needs to reset. All prescriptions have side affects. Take care
Did you discuss with his doctor FIRST? Family members deciding they know best and something wasn’t good for a relative and just stopping it(or adding un-Rx !) Can be major contributors to sudden seizures, strokes, heart attacks, falls, etc!
I've taken about half of these. I'm 44 now. I've noticed a significant difference between myself now and 10 years ago. My brain doesn't work nearly as well as it used to. I know it's all of the medicine I used to take. Especially the benzos I used to abuse.

Corticosteroids, and prednisone in particular, can launch a patient with bipolar disorder into hypomania or frank mania with psychosis. This video does not address the condition known as “pseudo-dementia”, which often can be traced back to polypharmacy, which is basically too many medications and higher doses of meds together. When the unnecessary doses and drugs are diminished, cognitive functioning improves.
Gabapinten is supposed to be used for people who suffer sezeiures it's not a pain killer but it does keep you from producing new brain cells. Do you still want to take it for pain? I was on it for quite some time took up to 900 mg a day I started loosing my memory and I was a nurse I have a friend who was also a nurse and she was taking 1200 mg per day she no longer knows who I am.
I had a bad time with it, though it saved me from horrendous severe pain from trigeminal neuralgia, It was hard to find the door, keys, or my shoes for awhile, I got off of it thanks to acupuncture treatments. It took many weeks of treatments. The Neurologist said I was indicated for brain surgery to treat it, but some people had good results from acupuncture. Acupuncture worked, so far, it's been over twelve years since the onset. Gabapinten controlled the pain but it is hard to get off it and I did so by slowly cutting the amount I took. A pharmacist told me how to cut it down gradually, and it worked. I feel very lucky to be gabapinten free now. The acupuncture was very effective.
I think everyone should be taking a senior multivitamen so at least you are getting covered for your trace minerals. Also, a B complex. My dad will be 92 soon with Parkinsons. His brain is sharp. I forget more than he does. I make sure he gets a B complex & D3 every day.

People need to learn more about their blood test. Theirs alot doctors want tell you. You need to understand what drugs they prescribe and why. Look at test results and question all low and high results. Don't take drugs just because doctor prescribed them. Do your homework. Doctors like money.
@@straightopoint not all medical systems are for profit. I’m in the uk where drugs are more regulated and where they’re less likely to prescribe things like sleeping tablets so easily and some medications will only be prescribed short term like ondansetron and a lot of the time we’re sold off brand stuff to save the NHS money.

They are the drug pushers.
My doc was insisting for a year and a half that I take a statin. I asked why? She said that all of her patients my age are on a statin. I replied that age was not a good reason to be on a statin. After a year and a half of this, she "fired" me as a patient for having a "lack of trust".
what an ego that doctor had. Ugh. Glad she is gone.
Just FYI..... The doctors have to meet a number of "benchmarks" with each patient. One is that all patients must be prescribed a statin if their cholesterol is high, or if they're over 40 if I remember correctly. Another is that you MUST be offered your flu shot and other immunizations. If those (and many other ones) are not met, the reimbursement from insurance and/or medicare/medicaid is severely reduced.
The only thing wrong with this story is that she is the one who had to do the firing, and it took a year and a half to happen.
consider yourself fortunate and report her to the medical board.
I think you 'dodged a bullet..."

I’m 64 and stoped taking meds about 4 years ago and improved my diet and life style. I am 100% free of illness, pains and aches.
Our doctors will prescribe these medications knowing they cause harm. My brother aged 66 was diagnosed with high blood pressure 20+ years ago and was put on Beta blockers. I also suffered high blood pressure at the same time and chose to use natural remedies. I am 2 years younger. My brother was diagnosed with kidney failure last year and also had a tumor removed from his bladder which turned out to be bladder cancer. On his autopsy report it stated Bladder cancer and kidney failure due to long term use of Beta blockers. Don't trust your doctor, once you get any diagnosis seek natural remedies, your life may depend on it.
Sorry for your loss. You are spot on about not blindly trusting a doctor’s advice.

When my doctor put me on statins, I immediately noticed that I forgot a lot of things, specifically pots on the stove.
I stopped taking them and will NEVER take statins ‼️‼️‼️
Hubby started getting lost when driving & making several rookie driver mistakes. Once driving wrong way into oncoming lanes. I asked his doctor to change him from zocor to newer pravastatin. Much improved but also side effects unknown on pravastatin.

It's very insightful.
I will never take any of the Statin drugs.
I refused statins also. I took it for about a week and could immediately feel a slight pressure in the frontal lobe of my brain. I mean, I literally felt it. I said Absolutely Not!!
Statins were pressed on me 20 years ago by both doctors and family members. I would have had diminished ability in my memory and possibly alzheimers by now if I had been obedient!

I changed my medical doctor because he refused to address my health concerns. No advice or prescriptions. I had side effects from the prescriptions I was ordered to take. Was reprimanded for not taking them. Was told to go to urgent care for some serious health problems. The urgent care and emergency care doctors wrote prescriptions for ppi, headaches, pain. Neither those doctors nor the pharmacy gave me any indication that there would be unfortunate side effects, and certainly no warning that long term use would be very serious.
Thank you for this video, to make it more clear and bring awareness!
On the positive side, my family had some old world, folksy advice. The advice is not scientific, and not medical advice. But they worked for me. Drinking herbal tea at the first indication of distress. Herbs like mint, or chamomile, or parsley. Drink after dinner or a spicy meal. Drink around 3 hours before bedtime. Eat cooked beets, like one bite to 1 cup, with a little vinegar and a tiny bit of salt, or a little bit of salad dressing, for heart burn. Advice like that. If you are allergic or it doesn’t work, then try something else. But most people found these folk remedies work. Even for sleep inducing. Imagine that!
Where would be a source of the folk remedies, eating the beets I will definitely try.
Most of us are not given informed consent by our doctors. I was on Benzos for 30 years and was taken off Cold turkey. I have been off 5 years this month and the suffering is very profound!

@TheLahoney - I took them for 33 years and tapered for 2 years to get off. I did not sleep. I've been off for 6 years and still have withdrawal symptoms all the time. This is called BIND aka Benzodiazepine Induced Neurological Disorders. There are many videos on You Tube, some by doctors who have it, about how to help you deal with BIND. I am not improving, except for sleeping a few hours nighty now, and have become a hermit due to inability to regulate my emotions and other issues. I am glad to hear you are improving and I pray things keep on improving for you. It is so unjust that drug companies make billions from these harmful drugs and are never held accountable for destroying our lives.

I am a nurse. This is very good information.
As an experienced Neuro Step-down RN, I developed drop-foot from a fall and 8 months later I had a full-blown cerebellum stroke that took out my left side. After the drop-foot, I was given cyclobenzaprine 10mg q8 hrs, and clonazepam 1mg q BID. It works for me, although anything I can’t remember I usually blame on my strokes (I’ve had several CVA’s and TIA’s since the first stroke. I taught myself (by GOD’s grace) to walk again, although I use a cane (balance is still an issue), but due to the political climate here in the USA, I am scared! Although, I am an American citizen, I was born in Cuba in 1962. I hate communism and it scares me that we are almost there.
Therefore, my anxiety has gone through the roof!
Young ppl, my kids included, have been dumbed down about Communism. My huge library system does NOT have a copy of Gulag Archipelago. And the government has become self-dealing mobsters, i.e. Communists enslaving us.

This is why I don't take any medications without researching first. I was prescribed 80mg of Atorvistatin for slightly elevated cholesterol and felt like I was dying. The prescribing Dr never even discussed side effects. I have acid reflux and I make cabbage juice and drink on an empty stomach every morning and I haven't had a flare up since.I will only take a medication if it's needed to save my life, such as during or after surgery. I try to always use herbs or diet changes.

My question on Statins is - how can they protect the Heart when they weaken it. The heart is a Muscle and a series of muscles, Statins weaken muscles....such as the Heart being a muscle. So actually its working against the Heart not for it,
Been taking Statins for over 20 yrs with no problems. No muscle weakness other than what old age gives you. Some people I know have had muscle cramping or pain with Statins, must be a body tolerance issue.
Statins decrease the bad cholesterol that builds up in arteries that lead to the heart and cause plaque which can rupture and then cause a heart attack.

Omeprazole has also been indicated in bone thinning and osteoporosis. Nothing like pathological fractures in your hip bones and spine. I use beano for heartburn, and gas. They are digestive enzymes. I had issues with loose stool and hours long heartburn. Took beano for three days, it all stopped.
What is beano? Would like to get off omeprazole.
@phyllisdoreenhutton Beano is an over the counter chewable tabs that supply digest enzymes. You need more than gastric acid and beneficial bacteria to help you digest food. When you have burps and parts and heartburn it's because you are only partially digesting your food. Loose stool also goes along with this. People take Lactaid pills who don't have the enzymes to digest milk and milk products.
I thought beano was just for gas. I didn't know it can help with heartburn. Is that the same as acid reflux?
@mikaelafox6106 yes. I love tacos with refried beans, but they don't love me. I take beano before or after I eat beans and I don't get gas, burping, farts or loose stool. And NO heartburn.
Please try a teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of water, it works immediately to stop heartburn..
Absolutely correct without any questions. Period
I've been taking Gabapentin for nearly 8 yrs now and I believe it is the problem with me losing my equilibrium and strength in my muscles. I can only walk aa few f eet without m y muscles g iving out. And I need to have one of those rolators to walk even in my apartment. Before I was taking the medication I was doing things like camping in Germany with my friend,swiming in the pool,and even playing raquetball.
Now,I'm pretty much done for. Plus Gabapentin is addictive,...which I wasnt told by my doctor. I was a street kid on the Blvd in Hollywood during the 70s,and never got addicted to anything. I come to Phoenix and get a doctor and he ruined me.
Get off that med now,well taper off it's a dirty med.any side effects are real but will go away,read about it, please listen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was supposed to take it but end up letting it expire over and over
They make me feel drunk so it certainly affects your equilibrium. Even the 100mg did this to me and most people take way more than that.
For the walking problem if you are out of breath it could be clogged and blocked arteries; check with a vascular surgeon.

I’m 60 years old. Four years ago I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia. I’ve been taking omeprazole since the removal of my gall bladder when I was 38. In June I had my hiatal hernia repaired. Surgery went very well. I no longer need that omeprazole. I was at the highest strength 40 mg.
Your kidneys will thank you for that. 😊
@rangers9848 I've been suffering from a hiatal hernia for 10+ years , in addition to several other health issues. It's gotten bigger but no dr. , G.I. or Primary is mentioning surgery to repair it. Actually , one G.I. Dr mentioned it & said she'd have "someone" contact me about it. "Someone " never did , & the recommending Dr. left her practice. I'm more than ok w that bc I didn't really want to continue w her . Can you please share how & what was done to repair your H.hernia. I know there's more than one method of repair : mesh & another is called fundoplication (?spelling??). I'm suffering daily , & it affects my life drastically.

My usual VA doctor was out the day I had an appointment and his replacement was going over my meds and asked if I was still taking the statin. I told him I never took it all because it causes muscle breakdown, I just take niacin for the cholesterol. He said, "Yeah, you're better taking niacin instead".

My opinion if it doesn't make you feel better, it's a no.
That goes for antidepressants too. Why keep taking something and you don't feel better, what's the point.
They tend to add more drugs that still don't make you feel better. 🙄

UK ME/CFS patient here. I am prescribed low dose of Amitriptyline as suggested in the hand book. My short term memory is terrible. After watching this It would be good for me to stop taking it. I can not sleep without it so I need to find an alternative sleep help. Thank for the video 👍
Have you tried Melatonin? It works for me.
I do not take any of these drugs but I do take some natural alternatives. For example instead of taking drugs for heartburn I try to prevent heartburn by figuring out what gives me heartburn. Aside from the obvious like alcohol and overeating, I try not to eat late and avoid overly spicy food. Some alternatives for heartburn are systemic enzymes, which will actually help your body digest better, and I use a chewable tablet made from essential oils which works way better than OTC remedies.
As for statins, I believe that long term use of statins caused severe cognitive decline for my Mother. Consider questioning if cholesterol is actually bad for you. Your liver makes it and that is what the body was designed to do. Read up on vitamin k2. It’s a fascinating read.
There is probably a safer natural alternative for all of these problems.
Natural, GREAT treatment for heartburn is baking soda in water. You will belch it all up in a few minutes!😊
Please identify the enzymes and oils you tske
@Shasta1 Could you share the name of the chewable tablet w/ essential oils? Thanks.
But, that would not make any $$$$$$ for Big PHARMA!!!!!!!! The companies in BIG PHARMA NEVER WANT TO CURE YOU; they just WANT TO MKE $$$$$ OFF OF OUR SUFFERING!!!!!!!!!!🤢🤮🤬🤯🐍🤡👹💉
Perhaps you could follow up on how marijuana affects the brain - we have so many dispensaries where I live in the USA.
It's neuroprotective
I've been using cannabis since the 70's. I'm 75 and have good mental acuity. I only use it instead of opiates. I have degenerative disc disease.
My mom passed away from dementia.They had her on several different medications.Watching tv only stimulates one part of the brain but if she stayed doing games on the computer and listening to music it stimulates all of your brain.I'm in Ct and she lived in Fl with her husband.We told him not to let her just watch tv.I noticed it 5 years before she passed and she had short term loss but she could remember stuff from the 50's and 60's.
Yea. I had to have several brain surgeries. Struggled alot. But I started doing fill-in and suduko puzzle books. It helped dramatically to keep my brain functioning..
So I totally agree with u.
What initially caught my attention of the Statin dangers was a group of Cardiologists who banded together in a video to point-out the risks. The four docs also stated they'd NEVER prescribe Statins for their patients and had never done so. That caught my attention. I'd already cut my Lipitor in half for a year before quitting them. I eat as clean as possible now. Cut white/processed sugars down by 70 percent or more. I do not eat margarine, ever. Olive oil, Avocado oil, and Coconut Oil are the only oils I use now. Lean meats, and no more than 3 ounces at a time. Eggs, seldom but I do eat them sometimes. I am working on my diet to control the fat in my blood. I'm also losing at least 1.5 pounds a week to help with the issues we elderly folk face. Eating cleaner, for sure and I hope I get to that pure place of eating clean someday soon!
I was occasionally on Zoltex (something related to omeprazole) 40 mg per day for heartburn problems but in the end it was prolonged to years. Then I completely stopped taking it and instead I take 5 (or more) almonds, ground or in slices (to prevent breaking a tooth!) after each meal or drink. It works! Even after coffee! So I can enjoy coffee again. Surprisingly almonds seem to have reduced my otherwise slightly higher cholesterol levels (since I stopped taking statins) as a positive side effect. What a blessing! Worth trying for everybody!
I grind the almonds up in food processor, then add spoonful to each meal as others sprinkle with salt
@@Rebecca-r7h Good idea! When I first heard to take almonds to neutralize stomach acid, I just couldn't believe it is serious. Then when I used it and it worked immediately, I was delighted because no matter what I ate or drank, the acid tormented me high up in the aesophagus and for a long time. Blessed almonds!
I’m going to try this. Thanks.

The commercials for medications always list the possible side effects and they are lengthy. Sometimes you need to weigh the problem you are having or the pain you deal with daily,against the possible side effects. If you cant breathe you wont live long
They did not used to tell you anything, then they started giving a short list of side effects…it’s only been the last few years that they have commercials about meds. I hear those and I’d die before swallowing one!
I’ve been on medication‘s and had side effects that they don’t even bother to list. That’s why I really don’t like taking unnecessary medication. If they even so much as tell me something I don’t like about the medication I don’t take it. And that’s my constitutional right.
High dose Lion's Maine has helped my memory.
Talk to your Dr., The sad thing is your Dr should know these things, I'm 55 and on one type of every one of these meds other than Adderall , but took as a child. I've been on Xanax for over 20 yrs with a number of different anti depressants for panic attacks and for the past ten yrs for meds for high blood pressure and my memory is bad like real bad 😞
1)omeprazole, 2)anti-cholinergics,3)corticosteroids, 4) benzodiazepines,5)amphetemines, 6)1st generation anti histamines, 7)tri-cyclic antidepressants 8)statins.
If people eat a simple natural diet, meat, fish,eggs, full fat dairy once in a while, there's no problems, but when sugar&carbohydrates far exceed the main diet problems then occur. People really eat too much rubbish.

I know from personal experience that even antibiotics like strong forms of Penicillin for extended periods, such as used for eliminating staph infections can also cause memory problems and make it difficult to concentrate when talking, even to the point of forgetting common words. Also, use of pain medication like Tylenol with codeine can cause the same issues.
I also read that a popular overactive bladder medication also can cause dementia. I stop taking it and strangely, my bladder felt much better and is not overactive any longer. Always do your research.

That just about finished my legs, as no-one took any notice until I collapsed in the drs surgery and a locum said - ‘Stop that drug - I’ve seen this happen before,’. so I’ve been in a wheelchair ever since. My dear husband was my carer, but he died nearly a year ago. So I’ve just experienced the worst year of my life!
My mother is 90, she has never been sick. Her physical health is excellent even now, she never had to drink any medications. My mother developed dementia at 85.
My Mother also lived to 96 years old she would never go to a doctor because she said he always told her how sick she was so she quit going
Dementia can also be due to B12 deficiency. It's called B12 deficiency dementia and if caught early enough can be completely reversed. Unfortunately, after 5 years damage is permanent, though some improvement may be possible. The protocol for neurological issues like this is hydroxocobalamin or preferably methycobalamin injectiona daily for a week, then once a week for a month, then monthly.
The book "Could it be B12" is highly recommended.
Apparently, something like 20% of "Alzheimer's" is in fact B12 deficiency dementia and could be reversed if correctly diagnosed.
Other deficiencies that can cause dementia include Thiamine and Niacin.
I used to take Alprazolam for anxiety and was helping me. But it's been years I stop it.

End of May 2014, I visited her for the last time, we both took drugs, I then went home after partying, but she continued. Days later she died, but she laid deaad for 2 weeks before police opened the door. I helped sorting out some furniture 2 months later and it still smelt really bad. She died in the bathroom.

A lot of people would rather take the drugs than make changes to their diet and lifestyle because it's easier and sadly, a lot of people out there are lazy.
Sometimes some people are in such bad shape from these medications they have a harder time with making changes, and may seem more lazy (because of it). Always try to make changes before you get too badly off that you can't do it!
Very good content! More people need to know what these medicines are doing to their bodies. It also needs to be shown what to do nutrition wise to stimulate their memory as well. I know there are supplements for memory being advertised but do they really work and what do they do to the brain?
Also it should be told all about "HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP" in all our cold drinks! They're trying to kill us and the general public has no idea. They think it's all about taste.
Is there a class action lawsuit that we can join against the drug companies?

Tell us more!

@@loral10311
Doctors say it mostly applies to ages around 65, then boom!
I hope to learn more..
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid. It also binds to receptors in your brain much like antidepressants do. That’s why is gives you a small sense of dysphoria. And it’s a drug that doctors prescribe before other opioids because they say it’s less addictive. I think that’s based on the fact that they prescribe it in smaller doses (compared with natural opioids). I think it’s a good pain reliever for short term use, like after an accident or post op. But I think it’s a terrible long term use drug. I was on it for chronic back pain for 5 years. I’ve developed a lot of symptoms that might not be attributed to the tramadol. I also have a goiter and I’m waiting to see an endocrinologist. But as I increase the use of tramadol I started experiencing shortness of breath with activity. Even just minor activity like walking. I also felt unsteady and feeling like I’m going to fall. I spent over a year trying with the doctor to figure out what was wrong. Like I said I’m waiting to see an endocrinologist. But meanwhile I also felt like I was having withdrawal symptoms. So I figured I needed to get off all meds and see if my symptoms improved. It took over 3 weeks for the “shivers” to go away. Since then my SOB and dizziness and almost falling backwards several times has improved but not gone away completely. I’m praying that after I have my diseased nodules removed (and I started taking vitamins with iodine) I can get back to normal. I don’t think tramadol was too great for my brain because I also have difficulty with word finding and short term memory issues starting. I agree with you 100%
As a nurse on a unit that participated in a study to test Tramadol before it was released as a safe drug to replace narcotics, I can attest to fact that no issues short term with amazing reduction in recovery times due to effectiveness andcactual pain relief.. The participants agreed to remain in study after discharge. Never did hear the actual outcome prior to its release. I took it short term after several surgeries with no apparent issues.
America, alone, takes more prescription drugs than the entire world combined! It’s all about money. Ozempic was made in Europe, but outlawed there; so Americans are where they make their billions of dollars.
My father never took any of those drugs and his mind was gone by his mid 70s. He did drink a lot of cheap red wine, though. Who honestly knows where that "wine," was made and what it contained.
Nitrates
Sadly Alcohol works on the same receptors in your brain as Benzodiazepines do! Alot of others have learned about this same issue. God Bless❤

Interested in knowing what temazepam did… people trust their doctors and think they are doing the right thing, only to find out that our healthcare system is very broken. We definitely need to get away from drugs as much as possible!
It is also suspected that statins impair the immune system,and considering they are widely prescribed to seniors, provides another explanation to why seniors were so impacted by covid
Tanks for inportant information.
Other sites list the same and state the same reasons not to take. Even if you have no illness or condition listed here, take care with sleep medication taken nightly. I take melatonin as needed. For muscle tightness, simple low dose aspirin-dilates the blood vessels. You have to figure out dosages for yourself. I fiddled with the melatonin dosage on Friday nights to see how I felt in the morning. My first tries had me groggy in the morning. I reduced the dose by biting the pill in half. Even with this, I take care to exhaust myself with hard, manual work two or three times a week to give my brain a rest from all drugs but its own. If only our doctors would tell us all this . . . .
Aspirin is known to Cause Heart attacks & Perforations in the Stomach
Dear friend, the best way to avoid drugs is as you are trying to sleep message your brain by saying relax, relax, relax and rest blank everything else and just focus on these words in your head. You will actually fall asleep. I've done it and it works for me. Insomnia is because your mind is working overtime.
Tryptrophan can help with sleep. (eat turkey for dinner) Ashwagandha helps as much as prescription for stress and anxiety.
Can you supply the websites ? Thank you.
Taking melatonin is risky though, because it can cause your body to stop making enough for you to naturally fall alseep, so be careful. This is actually true of any non-organic vitamins (ie. artificial). Same applies to those vitamin supplements people like to take. You'll get the artificial version, but at the same time, it may mean that your body won't digest enough of the natural vitamin from the foods you eat, so I would take melatonin with caution. In my experience, simply changing my diet made melatonin supplements (and most supplements) unecessary. If you are having a hard time falling alseep, look at your life style and your diet first.
Iv just taken some of these away from my brother whose taking them erratically because he's now got confusion and memory /speech problems.
@@prairrie If mixed with wrong medicine it can cause literal hallucinations. Then they'll try to misdiagnosis and throw more pills at people.

It is all about money honey, I have $1000s of dollars in unused medications(I informed the pharmacy for almost a year I didn't take them!)they kept sending. He may truly need to wean down and off them to save his mental health and life. Please be patient for the 2 or 3 months while weaning him. Sometimes the brain just needs to reset. All prescriptions have side affects. Take care
Did you discuss with his doctor FIRST? Family members deciding they know best and something wasn’t good for a relative and just stopping it(or adding un-Rx !) Can be major contributors to sudden seizures, strokes, heart attacks, falls, etc!

Corticosteroids, and prednisone in particular, can launch a patient with bipolar disorder into hypomania or frank mania with psychosis.
This video does not address the condition known as “pseudo-dementia”, which often can be traced back to polypharmacy, which is basically too many medications and higher doses of meds together. When the unnecessary doses and drugs are diminished, cognitive functioning improves.

Gabapinten is supposed to be used for people who suffer sezeiures it's not a pain killer but it does keep you from producing new brain cells. Do you still want to take it for pain? I was on it for quite some time took up to 900 mg a day I started loosing my memory and I was a nurse I have a friend who was also a nurse and she was taking 1200 mg per day she no longer knows who I am.
I had a bad time with it, though it saved me from horrendous severe pain from trigeminal neuralgia, It was hard to find the door, keys, or my shoes for awhile, I got off of it thanks to acupuncture treatments. It took many weeks of treatments. The Neurologist said I was indicated for brain surgery to treat it, but some people had good results from acupuncture. Acupuncture worked, so far, it's been over twelve years since the onset. Gabapinten controlled the pain but it is hard to get off it and I did so by slowly cutting the amount I took. A pharmacist told me how to cut it down gradually, and it worked. I feel very lucky to be gabapinten free now. The acupuncture was very effective.

If this is to educate the general public it would be more effective to name the drugs not the genocide or chemical names..

Lipitor
They cannot name them because of a risk of lawsuits and being taken down from RUclips. Generic names are enough for people to research further.
