Are You Taking The Wrong Supplements And Medications? Know How To Make The Right Choices!

Posted on March 12, 2008 - Filed Under Health and Fitness

You want to be healthier, you work out, drink plenty of water, eat fairly well, and take vitamins for insurance measures like millions of others in this country. Your doctor agrees that taking a few supplements should be no problem, but what he or she probably doesn’t know, is that certain medications actually deplete your body of nutrients, and can negatively impact your system.

Having spent 25 years as a biochemical analyst, I have seen many errors on both sides of the fence. It is really no one’s fault, you see, it isn’t that your medical doctor doesn’t care, they just don’t have the means to monitor all of the formulas on the market, be they pharmaceutical or nutriceutical. Most formulation companies are versed solely in their modality and do not make the cross-over to natural or medical. But, it is imperative that the medical community work closely with the supplement manufacturers, some of whom are owned by pharmaceutical companies today, in order to keep us all safer.

Here is an example of how taking medicines can deplete your body: One woman was taking Zoloft for depression during pregnancy. The body’s needs during pregnancy are greater, however, her body was being depleted of Chromium and Ginkgo Biloba. Zoloft would also interact with an herb called St. John’s Wort, naturally used to help fight depression. This is just one example, there are thousands. Do you really want to play Russian Roulette with your body? Why not be safer, and talk to your doctor about what you should or shouldn’t eat, drink, or take with the medications prescribed. If they don’t have the answers you will have to look further.

What most doctors do not know, is that there are several laboratories that can compound vitamin formulas according to a person’s needs while taking into consideration the medications that their doctor may have prescribed. This is the safest way to have your cake and eat it too. Although nutrients are important, and healthy foods and drinks too, so many individuals just make choices based on what they think they need, and don’t really know. Some people have allergies to foods and don’t even know it, others are taking prescriptions that might not allow certain foods to be absorbed, and yet other prescription medications deplete the body of vitamins or minerals. But, what do you know about your daily diet, your medications and the interaction between them? You probably don’t know as much as you should.

So, what do you need to do? You need to ask your doctor and your pharmacist if they have a cross-check computer. Find out if there are any foods that you should be careful of consuming, or drinks that may be counter-indicated. If your doctor and your pharmacist come up empty-handed, please tell them that there are now several compounding pharmacies and nutriceutical companies who do have the information.

After analyzing many imbalanced chemistries through the years working with hospitals,physicians and patients, I knew it was important to solve the common problem. Finally, I found a formulation lab who will custom make supplements that are compatible with medications that your doctor prescribes. How wonderful that supplement laboratories can now work WITH your physician to produce a perfect complement to the doctor’s program and any medications he/she has prescribed. The lab that I am speaking about is a state-of-the-art concept lab who understands that not all people who take supplemenets are health-food “nuts.” So many average people take a multi-vitamin every day like clockwork. What they don’t know, is that they could be doing better.

If you, or your doctor, would like more information concerning custom formulations, you may contact me directly. A quality laboratory will now compound formulas that are synergistic or complementary to each person’s needs. As we take into consideration the millions of pills that are being consumed each day, some are prescribed medicines, others are nutrients; it is apparent that we need to be wiser. You can now order custom formulations through one of the finest nutriceutical/pharmaceutical savy laboratories in the country.

Since this forum is meant to inform and not to sell any particular company’s products or services, I have reserved giving you that information. However, you may contact me through the website below if you wish to find out more about how you and your doctor can work together.

Being well and being wise is paramount to a healthier life. Do your homework and share the news.
