Now don’t get me wrong, I believe in vaccines and drugs when necessary. On the other hand my body never met a side effect it didn’t like, and my sleep disorder medicine interacts negatively with pretty much everything. So when a doctor works with me to find a drug-free way to address any other problem, I really appreciate it.

The fall my leaf mold allergy got so out of hand I thought I might have a sinus infection, but the doctor said no. When I explained to her that any drug she gave me would have to be 1] Okay to take with my sleep meds and 2] Not contain any artificial color because I’m allergic to that too – she suggested shooting saline solution up my nose several times a day.

I was doubtful, but desperate. Turns out it’s very effective! I bet big Pharma doesn’t want you to know that. My doctor was also good enough to suggest taking Red Yeast Rice pills to lower my cholesterol. It keeps it just barely in acceptable range, but I don’t have to worry about it fighting with my sleep meds because when meds fight, I’m the one that loses.

I’m not saying got to a health food store and believe every claim on the supplement bottles, but talk to your doctor and see if maybe drugs aren’t the only answer to what ails you.
