Another Young Person Dies…
March 10, 2010
Corey Haim only 38 years young, dead today. I am so saddened by all these multiple deaths of young people in the past few years, it’s so senseless and unnecessary.
In our culture of pill takers, we often search for the magic pill or potion to heal us. Because most of us learn this at a very early age ( sometimes even unknowingly i.e. TV), when something physically hurts, we look for an outside pill, lotion, potion or cure. It follows that when we experience great emotional pain that we also would look for something external to make the pain go away. Corey Haim started as a crack/cocaine addict and only became addicted to pain medications after a stint in rehab. It was the prescription drugs – reportedly up to 85 pills a day-that killed him.
Careful, take only when there are NO other options.
Did you know that more people are killed every year from prescription drugs than street drugs? More than AIDS and breast cancer COMBINED!
What can YOU do?
1. Think before taking/starting a medication. Is this necessary? Are there alternatives? What would the worst outcome be if I didn’t take it? Ask your practitioner these questions if you don’t know. Then get a second opinion from another provider. It becomes a slippery slope once the medicating takes place. This is something we need to take extremely seriously.
2. Talk with your kids about healing coming from the inside, and not from anything we put into our bodies. Our bodies have an incredible innate healing force that is constantly moving towards better health-tap into yours, reduce stress and focus on a healthy lifestyle.
3. Have an alternative care practitioner as your primary care doctor. Recent studies have shown that you’ll need FAR less medication, hospital stays are reduced, and you’ll be saving a BOATLOAD of money!

Got something to say?
I am amazed at how my regular practitioner always wants to prescribe a pill. So often she doesn’t even address other factors. It just goes to show that our health really is in our own hands and it’s up to us to receive the best healthcare – and my MD is only a part of my healthcare team.
