Pharmaceuticals are potent mitochondrial toxins and furthermore deplete nutrients.
Mitochondrial toxins
Mitochondrial toxins promote mitochondrial diseases and mitochondrial diseases are on the rise. Cleavland Clinic.org states,
“How common are mitochondrial diseases?
About one in 4,000 children in the United States will develop mitochondrial disease by the age of 10 years. One thousand to 4,000 children per year in the United Sates are born with a type of mitochondrial disease.
In adults, many diseases of aging have been found to have defects of mitochondrial function. These include, but are not limited to, type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, atherosclerotic heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. In addition, many medicines can injure the mitochondria”
This is a reason for concern. Some of the most up to date health advocates such as Dr. Thomas Lodi, Dr. Stephen Sinatra and Dr. Lorraine Day all suggest to stay away from pharmaceuticals as much as possible and only use pharmaceuticals in times of desperate need. These doctors think differently because they had the courage and the instinct to take a look at the alternative information in health unlike the typical mainstream doctor that is taught to only believe a system that gives evidence to themselves, bias.
Depletes nutrients
To explain how pharmaceuticals deplete nutrients is very simple and does not require 5000 words to explain, besides most of you do not have the time to read an article of that size. Simple examples are below and you can do the research to confirm if that is what you need to truly believe and understand, but until you do prove me wrong, my examples will have to stand.
Some of the most popular and commonly taken pharmaceuticals include birth control pills, Aspirin, and statin drugs. Birth control pills deplete B vitamins, aspirin depletes folic acid, and statin drugs deplete Co Enzyme Q 10 the very nutrient that assists in giving the heart the energy it needs to survive the very condition that doctors are recommending statin drugs for. Yes, this means that the very same drugs that are used to lower cholesterol, which is simply a signal from the body that something is in need of help, are actually depleting the very nutrient that the body needs to help the heart fight the related issue. I have to add that high cholesterol is not an issue, the scarred walls of the arteries is the real issue. Blueberries works better than any drug to correct this problem, however it comes with many side effects, one being protecting your skin from the dangers of over sun exposure, something that the drugs do not do. These findings are also supported and practically paraphrased from Dr. Stephen Sinatra.
