1. The pharmaceutical cos have shielded people from the truth

since their inception. Not only will they not tell the truth about the power of nutrition and antioxidants at both preventing and treating serious disease, they do not even advertise the critical nutrients that their fake medicines steal from the body.... leading to yet further troubles down the road. In short, they suck canal water.

Right now, my 82 year old mother is having side effects from the meds these bastards have her on... and they also tell her that if she takes supplements they will interfere with her "magic potions". If it weren't for the law... I tell ya.

Many of the top 100 drugs prescribed in the United States have been shown to deplete a variety of nutrients. For instance, did you know that the HMG-Co A reductase inhibitors Lipitor, Mevacor, Pravachol, and Zocor, as well as the beta blockers, Toprol, and Lopressor, all deplete coenzyme Q10, a nutrient essential to ATP production in cellular mitochondria? It has also been demonstrated that both oral and inhaled corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone, Prednisone, Azmacort, Flonase, and Serevent, deplete several important minerals, folic acid, and vitamins C and D. The popularly prescribed histamine agonists Pepcid, Tagamet, and Zantac can deplete folic acid, B vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin D. The second edition of Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletion Handbook includes detailed information on these drugs and nearly 1,000 more, and is a valuable reference guide addressing drug-induced nutrient depletion in humans. It expands on the information found in the first edition and the authors' intent is to provide health professionals and the lay public access to the large body of credible scientific research pertaining to drug-induced nutrient deficiencies.
