so I want to talk about the

micronutrient deficiencies that are

created when you actually take a drug

this is one of those things that no

one’s really talking about your doctors

not telling you about this it’s not

listening to label but it’s something

that’s occurring and the problem is that

as you create these nutritional

deficiencies you create symptoms that

then are treated with a drug so it gets

really confusing you don’t know what’s

causing what okay so in the assets when

you take any assets

there’s several type if you’re taking

like an h2 antagonist it creates an iron

deficiency b12 vitamin D deficiency

calcium deficiency zinc deficiency and

the folic acid deficiency a lot of these

nutrients function to help repair DNA so

that’s really important for longevity

and then we have proton pump inhibitors

you get a magnesium deficiency and a b12

deficiency if this goes on too long that

can create all sorts of severe

neurological problems and the acids in

general like Rolaids for example that

use calcium neutralize the stomach and

now you’re gonna have all sorts of

mineral deficiencies could be zinc it

could be calcium potassium magnesium all

the minerals they just can’t get

absorbed also b12 and protein

antibiotics not just destroy your good

bacteria but it creates a deficiency in

calcium magnesium iron k1 because the

microbes actually make k1 be one two

three five six nine that’s folic acid

and b12 and a depressive medication you

become deficient in Co Q 10 which is

really important in repairing the heart

magnesium which is a cofactor in about

600 different enzymes b2 b6 b9 and b12

antipsychotic drugs create a b2

deficiency and in vitamin C deficiency

not to mention there’s actually a lot

more - I just put the main

and a hypertensive drugs that reduce

blood pressure

so if ACE inhibitors which deplete zinc

magnesium and potassium which by the way

when you take potassium and magnesium it

helps you lower blood pressure

okay beta blockers coenzyme q10

depletion vitamin D deficiency calcium

channel blocker so it’s not only going

to block calcium but folic acid and the

B complex then we have anti cholesterol

medication of mainly talking about

statins this is a big one it’s going to

create two deficiencies with vitamin A D

e K Co Q 10 EPA DHA these are the

omega-3 fatty acids that make up the

brain structure and it’s intimately

involved with the brain function because

with statins they’re blocking the

production of cholesterol so you’re

gonna have a problem with making cell

membranes hormones testosterone many

things okay cortical steroids you’ll

have a deficiency of calcium and

magnesium and b1 by the way then we have

metformin which is for type 2 diabetes

it creates a deficiency in B 12 B 1 and

B 9 and the other problem with metformin

is that it has a black label that it can

produce lactic acidosis and guess what

the remedy for that is b1 but if you

don’t have any b1 it can build up and

can create a problem diuretics it’s a

big one because diuretics are used to

get rid of fluid and they’re given for

people that have high blood pressure so

it starts to block magnesium potassium

zinc and if you take the diuretics that

our potassium sparrows in other ones

they don’t deplete potassium you’ll get

a buildup of calcium so it throws off

your electrolytes it’d be interesting to

see if you did take electrolytes

if you had flute retention that’s

because potassium and magnesium help to

eliminate excess sodium and they help

balance your fluids but they don’t

really look at that okay

hormone replacement therapy depletes B

nine which is folic acid magnesium b6

and b12 and this is just the tip of the

iceberg we’re not even talking about

other side effects anyway if you’re

taking in these medications you better

be taking these nutrients thanks for
