The
Difference Between Drugs and Nutrition Supplements
For
what every ails you, , a person has only a few choices about what to do
about it.
The
Drug Approach
What
a drug does is it forces the body to do something that it normally
wouldn't do. When it comes to a medication, the body reacts in certain
ways to this medication and it is done in order to achieve a desirable
effect. For instance, in order to balance itself and handle
the effects of a drug, the body has to lower its blood pressure.
If this is what you want to happen because its a blood pressure
medication, it's a good thing. However, there are also
various other ways the body can react to the drug and sometimes this is
not such a good thing - this is called a "side effect".
It is the reason someone can wind up on 4 blood pressure medications.
Each drug is given in an attempt to balance another drug so as not to
create the various side effects of the other drugs. It is a
balancing act.
The
Natural Approach
What
a nutritional supplement does is give the body the actual tools it needs
to fix the body.
In
the case of neuropathy, it is the nerve cell that is damaged. The
body needs certain tools (nutritional factors) to do this repair.
Drugs don't repair anything; they treat the symptom, not the cause of
the problem.
As
with our example of blood pressure, if they don't know what is causing
the high blood pressure, the drug just lowers it artificially. the
supplement doesn't force the blood pressure low, but addresses the cause
of high blood pressure and brings your body into better balance, and the
blood pressure goes to normal.
The
cause of nerve damage is known - it can be the result of too much sugar
in the blood, the chemicals used in cancer treatments, injury to the
nerve, etc. - but one thing is known, the damage is done to the
cell and this causes the pain, tingling, numbness, etc.
You
can cover this up with pain killers, or with other drugs that are
manufactured to handle this, but the drugs aren't repairing anything.
They are trying to forces the body to not give you pain, not give you
numbness, etc., And sometimes more damage to the nerve cell might
happen due to the drug or other drugs you are taking,
The
Nutritional Approach
Nutritional
supplements are actually vitamins and minerals that the body needs to
repair the cells. The body needs certain nutrients to function
properly.
In
the case of neuropathy, there are specific ingredients needed by the
body to repair the cells. These are the supplements you want
to take.
Another
difference is that if you are taking a drug and just covering up
symptoms, you have to continue to take the drug to get relief and
sometimes even have to increase the drug to get the same relief.
If
you take natural supplements, the body can fix the problem, and as long
as you don't do anything to damage the cells again, there is an end to
taking the supplements.

How
to take Supplements Safely
A short video by Suzy Cohen, Pharmacist. She talks about taking
herbs as a supplement as these do have side effects.
She also talks about taking them separately. We agree that
you don't want to take more than one herb at a time as you don't know
how they interact.
