Resorting to Drugs...

There are so many people who take street drugs and medical drugs thinking it will be for a short while and wind up long down the road with health problems they never dreamed of.  Addiction is just part of the problem.  Damage from free radicals, which are the stock in trade of chemicals, all chemicals, do something to your health.  Combined with pesticides and chemicals in the food we eat someone with a drug problem gets a double whammy.
If you stopped taking meds or street drugs you can benefit by the things we do in our clinic and if you cannot come to see us you can do this; recognize you have health problems apart from just the cravings of drugs.  You crave drugs because traces are still in your body and often dump into your blood stream causing the cravings some  people cannot resist…more drugs is their answer.  But how about this idea… if you feel ill or crave drugs go for  a long walk, a good walk and look at your environment, really look at it.   When you get back drink a big glass of water and make yourself something to eat that is fresh, from scratch that did not come out of a box. 

Free radical damage from whatever source either crowds out vitamins and minerals from doing their health building work or depletes them so badly you have nothing available for normal function.  Either way you are in trouble.  Mood swings, depression, belly aches, headaches all stem from this or are made worse by the fact that you are starving.  STARVING.  Your weight has nothing to do with it.  You are nutrient depleted.  Find a good absorbable vitamin and mineral program and rebuild your health.  While you are learning make food from scratch with a good cookbook and walking everyday and drinking water to help your body shed some of the drug residues you need to find a doctor who can help you in the way that we do in our clinic.  Doctors interested in health are available in most cities or close by.  Check out our website for some ideas about what you can expect and look for the sauna detoxification program if you think you are in trouble enough to worry about reverting to drugs again.  We help people reverse the accumulation of chemicals and drugs.

I was watching videos of some fabulous horses this morning thinking about the two Peruvian Pasos I have loved and who died over the last few years.  For me and many others the sight of a horse doing anything is a high and some of  the videos on-line are so inspiring and beautiful.  When my horses died I was struck by how much these wonderful horses mean to us, for weeks and some months later I would almost turn up the lane to feed them at the barn.  Feeling depressed is normal when things happen in life and I am always grateful for the love of my horses and to have experienced all they gave us over the years, better for me to have loved and lost than not to have loved in the first place.  I am disgusted by the “medical care” that offers drugs in place of remembering and being grateful and shedding a depressed, lonesome tear once in awhile over a loss in life.  It is so much more meaningful to really feel good and really feel bad, I know I am alive and in the game for real, no matter what.  I like it that way.  I want to help others who are made wooden and apathetic by being drugged.  I want to forward the message of true health care free from mind altering drugs because I value emotion and clear thinking.  I want you to feel alive.

It is Embarrassing

When you seek the advice of your doctor for an ailment and the prescription pad comes out what follows can be months of addiction to a mind altering drug or painkiller.  So many people inadvertently find they are addicted to pain killers and antidepressants when they were not warned it could happen.  It is embarrassing and tough to deal with but it can change.
As it happens there are professionals, and others of course, trapped into a drug habit they cannot kick because to do so would involve time off work and the chance their employers or board of directors will find out they have a problem.  The unresolved pain or condition becomes the  justification for continuing to use medication; still depressed or having panic attacks creates a need to stay on the meds.  Continuing problems  justifies the drug use.  It might help to understand that some doctors have been brainwashed into offering prescriptions as the only treatment choice.  They do not have anything else to offer and some patients do not think they have been helped if they do not walk away with a prescription.  To compound the problem, as a  patient,  you  get the idea,  when  medication suppresses pain or symptoms, the problem is  alleviated.  Suppressing pain is not the answer.  Turning a person into someone who does not care and cannot feel the pain anymore does not heal the problem, it suppresses it.  Actual help is the discovery and alleviation of the underlying cause of the difficulty.  Thankfully this new medical paradigm is becoming readily available in most areas of the country.  There are thousands of doctors who are medical detectives and can help you out with minimal use of prescriptions drugs, often avoiding prescriptions completely.   There is no question we need strong drugs when there are injuries requiring surgery with the aftermath of pain but mind altering drugs as a daily treatment is not a good idea. 

Dr. Maulfair, attending a recent dinner given for doctors in our area as part of the CME requirements, asked the speaker, who was citing serotonin levels as justification for mind altering drug treatment, what the specific  test was for determining serotonin levels in the brain of a patient.  The speaker, paid by the drug company, stammered and said there was not one but “it would not matter anyway”.  He thought there might be some new blood test that would measure some such thing.  Fact is – no test to measure such things.  The science does not exist to justify these drugs.

Depression, anxiety attacks, and pain are solved by doctors who care to discover the underlying reason of the symptom.  Taking high quality mineral nutrients is the answer for some, the proper bio-identical hormones for others and life style and dietary changes for others works.  Long walks and high dose vitamin D can be an answer as well.  Is your doctor making such recommendations?  Are they asking you questions that might reveal an underlying cause of your pain, whether physical or emotional?  Are they recommending searching diagnostics to discover the reasons why?  Do you need a chiropractor or physical therapist?

Why should we care?  Because being happy, feeling well and strong is so important.  Life cannot be easy and productive when you do not feel well.  You cannot feel well when you are drugged, high, uncoordinated, or somehow miss seeing your actual environment.  You cannot duplicate intentions of people and conversations when you are drugged, you misunderstand and do nonsequitur things causing upsets with the people around you; so it is a vicious cycle of not doing well both in life and physically.  All this becomes very important when you find yourself 40+,  the consequences of bad medical care start to add up and  compound as we age.

Find a doctor who has more to offer than a pharmaceutical drugs.  Use prescriptions only when they are essential and strive to lessen their use and you will be and feel better!  When you ask for less medication and better recommendations than a prescription you will bring about  change in the medical profession that is so badly needed.  Doctors want to help you and you will get them thinking about another way to go about healing.  When that happens we will have restored the patient/doctor relationship.

Self Care in Health the Answer to Obamacare

People are turning to alternative and complementary medicine in droves and it is a very good thing.  Taking care to find out about organic foods, alternative medicine and changes in lifestyle to remain healthy is critical in light of the recent news in health.  Are you following the psyche advice lately?  If you are pregnant or a new mom OR A NEW DAD you are likely to be mentally ill.  Ill enough to be drugged for depression!!  Yep.  Instead of embracing the new arrangements needing to be made in your life and getting your hormonal levels checked you should be drugged for depression or for being psychotic because you have trouble coping.  By answering a few subjective questions by your doctors you too can add the serious happiness threatening drugs to your life and enjoy all the side effects.  It will take your mind  off your new baby arrangements and sleepless nights.
Seriously.  As a society, my fellow citizens, we are all affected by these outrageous ideas.  Your kids go to school with my kids, moms on drugs for depression have babies with birth defects.  Dads on drugs lose their enthusiasm.  That is the goal you know, if you are drugged you will not be as active and your personality will change.  We have too many people who care about the world around them, who are sincerely worried and who will not stop talking about it!! Drugging them in mass is a great idea and besides we can make gobs of money at it and help all our stockholders.

Did you know one of the drug companies got out of the depression drug business?  In my mind this can only mean the lawsuits over side effects started to mount up and they can see the train coming for them.  But no worries, a few weeks after that news we have the glorious news that our beloved service men and women are being hospitalized for mental illness at a greater rate than for physical illness so the industry is making money on our misery.

When you wear pesticide infused clothing and are given amphetamines to keep you “alert” you can start to become extremely miserable.  Add the responsibilities of service to your country to that and you have a recipe for disaster.  But that is the game.  You have to create mental illness if you are the drug and psyche industry because few seek your help.  So the psyches have the government hacks by the throat and their advice is to drug our service men and women;  then when they can’t take it anymore the psyches jump in like heros to “treat” them.  They now pretend to help the condition they themselves created.  In mental hospitals our servicemen and women will not recover.  There will be a greater incidence of suicide and homicide.  You see we have unsuspecting people trained as sharpshooters on mind altering drugs and flying fast war machines who are unaware of the side effects of their medications.  Go to this index of papers and scare yourself to death.

If you are a service man or woman or their family please check this out and make sure they seek proper medical care for problems.  There are tons of physical problems and mental problems that are easily handled when you find the underlying health problems; hormonal imbalances, improper nutrient intake, toxin overloads and on and on.  A simple mineral deficiency can cause insomnia and muscle pain.

More on Sugared Drinks

Taxing sugared drinks is crazy!!  The makers of artificial additives must be paying for this idea! I have a hard time believing San Franciscoites do not know the damage done by artificial sweeteners, they are taxing these drinks according to the recent news.  When you tax sugared drinks you support artificially sweetened drinks and you guarantee we will have more obesity but very happy chemical companies.  Would you be trilled to see the government tax your competitors!!
Food additives, especially artificial sweeteners are the cause of common health problems.  When the temperature of aspartame exceeds 86 degrees the wood alcohol in aspartame coverts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid which in turn causes metabolic acidosis.  People with aspartame poisoning are being misdiagnosed with MS and systemic lupus.  If you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps. vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss, Parkinson’s like problems – you may be affected by artificial sweeteners.  They are starting to add aspartame to sugar to make it sweeter.  It makes you crave carbohydrates and will make you fat!!  A Dr. Roberts stated in the congressional record  during hearings that when he got patients off aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person.  It stores in fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs!!

Your body cannot utilize chemicals, your body considers chemicals to be poison and stores residues in fat tissue to get them out of the blood stream.  Chemicals are not considered food by your body.  There is a new sweetener with stevia and sugar and you can use maple syrup, organic rice syrup, organic sugar- it has all the minerals intack- and I am sure some others you can come up with.  Steez is a good natural fizzy drink instead of the commercial soft drinks.

Government is taxing the wrong thing again, will we ever learn?  There are many in the health care field that believe Gulf War Syndrome is toxicity to chemicals in prepared drinks.    If you have health problems just go one month without these artificial foods and food additives and then access how you feel.  You will be amazed.  In the meantime check us out at drmaulfair.com.
