i remember i used to think people who poopooed medicine and talked about alternative or holistic solutions to problems were just being paranoid or dumb, but more and more i'm starting to think they are right. most of the time when i take medication i feel sick or like i am poisoning myself. recently i developed gerd and went to the doctor to treat it. he's a good doctor and gave me some samples of a new medicine called dexilant. it's supposed to inhibit acid production and it worked like a charm. only problem is i have every single one of it's side effects except for the common cold (how is that a side effect :ermm: ). in case you are wondering that is diarrhea, nausea, gas, bloating, abdominal pain and vomiting. needless to say i am not taking it anymore. supposedly it's less than 2% that have one or more of the side effects. hmmmm, i wonder what the percentage is for all of them?


what are you guys thoughts on this subject?

I don't take any regular meds, occasional aspirin and if I get a bit of stomach upset I take these: http://www.vitacost.com/american-health-super-papaya-enzyme-plus-chewable-180-chewable-tablets
Seem to work pretty well, green pepper I find delicious but it doesn't much like me as it causes me hours of burping, mix in a couple of the papaya tablets when I eat the green pepper and no burps!

My doc said I could eat the whole bottle without any ill effects (I'm not interested in trying but I like the idea...) I have found that the "regular" papaya tablets aren't very effective for me, just the "super" ones, I really don't care what they are called as long as they work... The other bonus for me was unlike charcoal tablets these aren't supposed to interefere with you absorbing any of the vitamins/nutrients from the food you consume.

I don't use any drugs including caffeine or alcohol. Animals and their products aren't part of my diet/ I haven't been sick with a cold or flu for going on 4-5 years now, everyone else I know gets ill because they skip one of these notes above or don't get enough sunshine in the winter from tanning beds, which prevent cancer and colds.
Pharmaceutical drugs often make your blood PH acidic which does nothing to improve health. Often times the drugs just maintain the symptoms of the problem without going to the root and healing the body from the inside - which is what holistic nutrition combined with water fasting is intended to achieve.

prilosec works. takes about 5-7 days to get full effect. must take it every day.

it works by turning off about 1/3 of the thingys inside your stomach that make acid.

I take blood pressure medicine, and I have no side effects other than the lack of a headache when I take it.

It's funny you mention that. I haven't been sick for at least four years either, yet I drink soda and eat animal meat daily.

I don't doubt one bit that vegetarianism/vegan is a much better for your body than eating meat, but there's no way I'm giving up burgers, steak, and fried chicken. :wub:

The teeth isnt for taking down the prey. Whats what tools and pack hunting is for. The teeth makes me able to eat the meet. If I was supposed to only eat vegetable type matter, I'd only have flat teeth. We're omnivores, designed to eat everything.

you have it in reverse order. you don't have sharp teeth so that you can eat meat. you and all other humans originally were omnivores. the ones that didn't have teeth suited to eating meat AND vegetables died off and since they were dead no more babies were made that had all sharp teeth or all blunt teeth. thus most of us have a few really sharp teeth and a few really dull teeth. some don't have as sharp of teeth but they still function.

alright, then eat your meat raw. there is no such omnivore on the planet that cooks their meat. logic exercise; what is appealing to an omnivore ? the smell of dead, decaying flesh. why do dogs love to roll around in dead fish.
what would you rather do, as a child by instinct: pick up an apple off the ground, smell its fresh aroma and sample its sweet texture; or - stumble upon an animal carcass, immediately start salivating at the mouth and using your large powerful fingernails and canines designed to rip flesh and fillet meat from bone and devour the entire meal until you can no longer eat any more.
