To add to our
concerns as health professionals there is evolving
evidence in the past several months that many prescriptions drugs CAUSE the
depletion of certain critical vitamins and minerals in
our bodies that can
seriously impair our future health. Most physicians are
not aware of this danger and in fact the pharmaceutical
companies are very slow to inform them. With all the
concern of the low vitamin content of "empty" foods,
processed foods, mineral depleted soil, preservatives,
pesticides, herbicides, etc., one of the true culprits
of our nutrient needs could be the very prescription
drugs we are taking to get well. In 1978, doctors wrote
4.4 million prescriptions for cholesterol lowering
drugs. By 1999, the number had soared to 92.2 million -
most of them for statin drugs. How many of those doctors
are aware that these drugs deplete Coenzyme Q-10? If
they did know, they could have changed drugs or at least
supplemented with this critical
nutrient.
We have listed 66
pharmaceutical drug classes or drug names that research
demonstrates deplete certain vitamins and minerals.
These calculations are part of the analysis in your
personal assessment.
The NutriScan™
Health Assessment not only delivers your "personalized"
Nutrition Prescription but also checks the drugs listed
for potential interaction with nutrients. An
advantage of this program is that it addresses the
following problems:
-
Taking the right
nutrients or supplements and not having them absorbed
into the body systems
-
Taking the right
nutrients and having them blocked by certain
prescription drugs or other nutrients
-
Taking the right
nutrients and having them "interact" with certain
drugs resulting in a poor result or undesirable side
effect.
-
Taking the right
nutrients but in quantities too high and perhaps
unsafe or unnecessary.
-
Taking the wrong
nutrients that are contra-indicated by your health
condition that results in an undesirable side-effect
NutriScan™ seeks to
address these potential problems by:
-
Blocking the
selection of certain nutrients that are
contraindicated by certain health conditions
-
Blocking overdosing
of nutrients
-
Blocking certain
drug-nutrient interactions
-
Defining what
nutrients are depleted by certain prescriptions
NutriScan™ is
non-invasive and convenient (as opposed to blood tests,
saliva tests and urine tests that require medical
procedures or specimen mailing)
