Redefining Wellness: Beyond Prescription Pills
Navigating the World of Chronic Health Conditions with Holistic Approaches and Success Stories
In today's world, chronic health conditions and the increasing reliance on prescription drugs to manage these conditions are more common than ever before. According to the CDC, statistics from the early 2020s revealed:
Approximately 48% of Americans had used at least one prescription drug in the past 30 days.
In Canada, around 40% of individuals aged 6 and older were on at least one prescription medication.
Down under in Australia, about 43% of the population had consumed at least one pharmaceutical in the preceding two weeks.

Given these numbers, it's evident that almost half of us are on some form of prescription medication. But what if the right diet and lifestyle changes can reduce this dependency?
What are the Most Common Prescriptions?
Prescription trends can vary based on numerous factors, including geography and demographics. However, based on data up to 2022, the following drugs consistently rank high in Western nations:
Statins: Used for lowering cholesterol to mitigate cardiovascular disease risks.
Antihypertensives: Drugs like ACE inhibitors, Beta-blockers, and Calcium channel blockers, target high blood pressure.
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): Designed to reduce stomach acid.
Antidepressants: Combat depression, anxiety, and related disorders.
Opioid Analgesics: Potent pain-relievers.
Thyroid Medications: Treat underactive thyroid issues.
Antidiabetics: Address type 2 diabetes.
Benzodiazepines: Aimed at anxiety and panic disorders.
Asthma and COPD Medications: Respiratory ailment treatments.
Anticoagulants: Prevent blood clot formation.
It's essential to understand that the use of these medications is not without risks. Almost every medication brings along a suite of potential side effects, some more severe than others. For instance:
Statins can lead to muscle pain, liver damage, and even neurological side effects.
Antihypertensives may cause persistent coughs, kidney dysfunction, or even depression.
PPIs have been linked to kidney disease and reduced nutrient absorption.
Antidepressants sometimes lead to suicidal thoughts or serotonin syndrome.
Opioid Analgesics carry a high risk of addiction, overdose, and respiratory depression.
... and the list goes on.
Amid these alarming figures and potential risks, there's a silver lining. In the past week alone, two of our patients reported halting their medication.
One is now in full remission from her autoimmune disease, no longer needing her Methotrexate. Another patient, after shedding over 30 lbs, has reduced her reliance on cholesterol, high blood pressure, and pain medications.
Methotrexate is a medication primarily used to treat certain types of cancer and autoimmune diseases.
