Medications
Starting at age 30, we lose 1% of our organ function (brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney, immune system, etc.), muscle mass and bone strength per year. At age 55, we have lost 25%. By age 60, Americans take 6 medications. As we lose liver and kidney function at 1% per year, we are no longer able to metabolize and excrete these medications which cause toxicity. Taking multiple drugs causes dangerous interactions. The pharmaceutical companies are happiest when you take a drug for life. Although proton pump inhibitors which block acid secretion in the stomach were designed to be taken for two weeks, Americans suffer malabsorption, infections, nausea, depression and muscle damage by popping these pills for years. Americans without heart disease spend $40 billion on cholesterol lowering drugs which only lower heart attacks by 2%. After DNA testing of vitamins and supplements in 2015 found 80% of purchased bottles did not contain the ingredient listed on the packaging, the New York Attorney General threatened to sue CVS, GNC, Target, Walgreens, Walmart and others if they did not remove these products from their shelves. Instead, chalk, rice and toxic substances were found. Just shut it! It is time to shut our mouths and stop taking pills. Although you don’t need Dr. Jeff to accomplish this, he is ready to help.
