Gbex says: WE cannot underestimate the side-effects of drugs. That is the very first thing that comes to my mind whenever I feel like taking one pill to get rid of my mild back pains.
The fact is: pills that millions of people turn to for relief from their pain, inflammation, and other symptoms are not only causing side effects, but they are damaging the health of people who take them.
According to the latest statistics, side effects from prescription pills are the third leading cause of death. By some estimates, six thousand people die every year from "simple" non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These commonly-used drugs can contribute to congestive heart failure, kidney disease, suicidal depression, cataracts, ulcers, macular degeneration, hearing loss, tinnitus, memory loss, fatigue, liver disease, and many other health concerns.
Prescription and over-the-counter medications can also deplete your body of much-needed vitamins and minerals required for your body's basic functions. Over-the-counter pain relievers like Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Tylenol, and the countless others can deplete your body of Vitamin C, folic acid, iron, zinc, and other essential nutrients. These nutrients are needed to keep your immune system strong, heal tissues, maintain cellular integrity, build healthy blood, heal wounds, and nourish skin and hair.
Here are some of the common types of drugs and the nutrients that they often deplete:
