now this was very very surprising to me seven out  of ten people take prescription drugs in the u.s  

that’s 70% of the population that’s crazy if  you’re 45 and older takes four prescription  

drugs in the u.s that’s insane now listen  i’m not against poison i’m sorry medications  

but you have to know that there are side effects  with every single medication and especially when  

you take multiple medications because they react  with each other you might be experiencing right  

now symptoms that are coming from side effects  from the medication and just as my disclaimer  

i’m not telling you to come off any medications  check with your doctor before coming off any  

medications and work with your doctor to come off  your medications on a gradual basis because some  

medications need to be tapered off on a gradual  basis psychiatric drugs like lithium prednisone  

you come off too quickly there’s some some  problems opioids but check with your doctor  

i’m not the expert on medications they are  all i’m going to say is i think people are  

taking way too many prescription drugs and  there doesn’t seem to be a long-term plan  

to come off those drugs so this is some questions  that i would recommend asking your doctor what is  

the long-term plan with your medications is there  any point where you’re going to come off of them  

that’s the question that you want to ask you want  to get a plan or is it a permanent thing for the  

rest of your life which does not make sense and  so the next question you want to ask your doc is  

what is the actual cause of my symptom and a lot  of times they won’t have an actual cause in fact  

it might be idiopathic which means unknown cause  ninety percent of hypertension is idiopathic they  

don’t know and i would also want to ask the doctor  what are the long-term symptoms of these drugs  

and other side effects that then are going to  cause me to need another drug to treat the symptom  

of this drug ask a lot of questions now this next  question is very very appropriate simply because  

the toxicity of drugs i would ask your doctor are  you willing to help me wean off these medications  

if they are great if they’re not you might want  to find another doctor that’s willing to work with  

you especially if they don’t have a long-term plan  and they don’t know the cause of your symptoms  

but i want to say this one point um  and this is very under emphasized  

it’s the diet now for 30 years i’ve worked with  patients correcting their diet and i would work  

with a lot of doctors thousands of doctors  and they’re just blown away at how a simple  

eating plan could greatly improve their symptoms  to the point where the need for medication  

came way down to the point where many times  they didn’t need the medication anymore  

but a lot of times there’s just not this awareness  from your doctor of the power of a change in diet  

can have over these symptoms so before you start  adding all these supplements and herbal things  

i would highly recommend start with the basic  diet the one i’m going to recommend is in the  

link down below on the description if you’re new  to my channel this is might be a whole new thing  

but it’s very very powerful the next thing is to  find an alternative an herbal alternative or some  

natural remedy that has a proven record of helping  that particular symptom now i’ve done thousands  

of videos on this topic so you can actually do a  search and find out some good alternatives to use  

when dealing with a certain complaint so just get  with your doctor and just say listen we want to do  

a pilot we want to do a test or an experiment to  see if we can try an alternative remedy instead  

of the medication see if you can work with them  on this and you might find that your doctor is  

very willing to work with you and it all works and  guess what you’re able to come off this medication  

and now you have a lot less toxicities flowing  through your body there are three supplements  

that may be helpful in the transition of coming  off your medications specifically because two of  

them work with the liver and the other one is kind  of a no-brainer because it addresses inflammation  

and it can really drop inflammation and a lot of  other symptoms pretty quick so the first one is  

called tudka this is a very specific type of bile  salt that helps the liver drain properly it can  

actually keep the toxins from accumulating in the  liver as you come off your medications so there’ll  

be less withdrawal symptoms and then milk thistle  which is a really good one for the liver as well  

and then vitamin d those are the three ones that  i highly recommend as you make your transition off  

these medications with the help of your doctor hey  before you go real quick i have a course entitled  

how to bulletproof your immune system it’s a  free course i want you to take it and here’s why  

here’s you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding your  

environment but what about here what  about strengthening your immune system  

that’s what’s missing this course will show  you how to bulletproof yourself and so you  

can tolerate and resist your environment much  better by strengthening your own immune system
