What Natural Alternatives for Prescription Medicines

If you struggle with high blood pressure or high cholesterol….instead of a starting drug or ace inhibitor or beta-blockers….add fish oils, the omega 3 fatty acids. They are the first line of defense for any heart condition. Try our Sea Energy, two capsules twice a day to begin with, or eat fish at least a couple of times a week. Cook with olive oil and snack on raw nuts and seeds throughout the week to help increase the amount of essential fatty acids, the omega 3’s in your diet. Don’t forget there is great research with garlic and CoQ-10 and carnitine as well…but I would stick with the basics first. Read the article Top Seven Supplements we should all be taking and Why."
Arthritis, tendonitis, joint pain, and Fibromyalgia are rooted in inflammation just like heart disease so we need to reduce inflammation, which is what Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) do but at a cost…they tear open your intestines, liver, and kidneys. So the best thing to do is again add fish oil, he Sea Energy, eat more nuts and seeds. This helps reduce inflammation the same way a drug does, without the risk of side effects.
 
Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, PMS….instead of looking for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)….grab the fish oils, the Sea Energy. Remember to make hormones the body needs fats, specifically the good monounsaturated fats found in fish oils. I would also be adding the Adrenal Fuel to help support the hormonal imbalances, one to two capsules twice a day to begin with, and add a third or fourth capsule if you don’t notice a benefit in 30 days.
 
Asthma, high blood pressure, leg cramps, inability to relax or to fall asleep……try increasing the magnesium in your diet. Stay away from magnesium oxide, it is a cheap form and very unabsorbable. Magnesium causes your arteries, and bronchial tubes in your lungs to open up and diabetes, which is good for allowing more blood and oxygen to move through. They also cause muscles to relax and help promote more relaxation for the whole body.
 
Indigestion, heartburn, reflux, irritable bowel….is not a problem of too much acid, so stay away from antacids or acid blockers because the acid in the stomach is very, very important. Read some of the articles and search the blog for more help here, but you need to add some digestive enzymes along with hydrochloric acid (HCL), especially if you are eating more protein. We make fewer digestive enzymes and HCL as we get older. Remember if you can’t digest your foods, you are never going to get healthier or stronger. Try our Digest Plus and check out possible hidden food allergies and food combining. Usually, one capsule with each meal does the trick. You might also want to add some aloe vera, slippery elm, ginger, peppermint, and some probiotics and glutamine to help calm down all the irritation and inflammation that is going on. The Digest Plus will help with your digestion. To calm and soothe all the irritation from all the inflammation going on in your tummy will be helped with the herbals.
 
Depression, anxiety, or insomnia….instead of antidepressant and anti-anxiety meds that only manipulate your brain chemistry, we need to increase the amount of serotonin and GABA, two nutrients that are known to help with mood, and mental outlook. Our Neuro Calm helps rebalance those brain chemicals. One to two capsules, twice a day ON An Empty Stomach. Do NOT take with meals. We loaded it with 5 HTP, glycine, GABA, and magnesium. Don’t forget if you are struggling with these issues you need to also address the adrenal fatigue so you more than likely should be adding the Adrenal Fuel. Plus these are great research showing the benefits of fish oils helping with these issues so don't forget the Sea Energy.
 
For pain…instead of aspirin, or Tylenol or ibuprofen…..try adding some white willow bark. It is the herb that the makers of aspirin copied. All they did was change a couple of the molecules on the white willow bark and they got aspirin, which they patented and sold kajillions of.
 
Most importantly, when you are trying to get healthy you need to make sure everything is functioning the way it is supposed to....take the Online Health Quizzes to help you figure out where to start and follow our IRS Healthy Steps Program
