Another dangerous drug is being questioned by the FDA. Research shows the diabetes medication Avandia being linked to a severe increased risk in heart attacks and heart related death. Studies have shown that this drug alone causes 500 heart attacks a month, and 300 deaths a quarter. How does a drug that has proven to be unsafe stay on the market? Why has the FDA not done anything to stop the distribution of Avandia, even after the American Diabetes Association recommended avoiding the drug?
It is a no brainer that drugs such as Avandia should be removed from the market, but there are other ways to avoid having to take such a perilous health course. Imagine the empowerment people would have if they realized that their body had the power to heal itself. Instead of taking a prescription, we could focus on living a wellness lifestyle, and eliminate drug use except for the cases when it is truly necessary.
Every person has the power to be healthy if they simply make the choice. We want this choice to be easy for you, so if you are not already doing your best to maintain wellness and are interested in a free consultation or have questions please send us an email at info@seattlefamilychiro.com.
