WHY ARE YOU STILL SICK
What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You
Chronic diseases are the key to the financial success of the interested parties. Medications are not designed to cure these conditions but rather to mask symptoms under the guise of disease management, often by disrupting the body's natural functions. For example, statins—one of the most widely prescribed medications, with over 40 million Americans and 200 million people worldwide taking them—are used to lower cholesterol. However, a common side effect of statins is muscle pain and weakness, and in some cases, they can cause myopathy, a condition where muscles are damaged and become extremely painful. Among other essential bodily functions, including the production of sex hormones, maintaining cell membrane structure, cholesterol is vital for supporting muscle health. Since statins interfere with the body's cholesterol production, they also disrupt muscle cell function.

Inactive Ingredients in Prescription Drugs
Every medication comes with side effects, not only from the active ingredients but also from the inactive ones, which many doctors may overlook. These inactive ingredients—such as fillers, artificial flavors, preservatives, coatings, or food dyes—can be toxic or trigger allergic reactions. While pharmaceutical companies claim these substances are present in such small amounts that they won’t cause harm, this isn't entirely true, especially for individuals who take medications long-term for symptom management, like omeprazole (for acid reflux), Zelapar (for Parkinson's disease), or Gabapentin (for pain). Additionally, those with impaired liver or gut function may struggle to fully eliminate these inactive ingredients, leading to toxin buildup, mast cell activation, or a cell danger response.
