let’s talk about the nine prescription medications that have the ability to kill you now of course check with your doctor before taking any of the recommendations i’m not telling you to come off these medications i’m just increasing your awareness on the risks versus the benefits and the effectiveness versus some of these side effects now the first one on the list is a very common drug called cortical steroids so typically these steroids are the silent killers one of the most frequent uses is for inflammation allergies autoimmune diseases asthma psoriasis etc etc and i’ve taken corticosteroids for many many years for my poison ivy and it definitely had some serious side effects but i want to differentiate short-term use versus long-term chronic use i’m going to be focusing on more of the chronic long-term use of these steroids and what they can do to your body and i’m not actually talking about the steroids that you would use if you’re a bodybuilder for example these are different steroids some of the side effects includes a loss of appetite uh moon face like your face becomes round belly fat buffalo hump you have this big fat pad in your upper back thin skin increased risk of infection mood changes osteoporosis suppression of your adrenal glands and the worst side effect is the suppression of bone marrow now you have to realize that your red blood cells and your white blood cells and your platelets are made by your bone marrow so when you suppress the bone marrow it can lead to some pretty serious problems because eventually those cells are going to die and they can’t be replaced so you get a severe loss of white blood cells and you also get anemia but you can lose your immune system so a simple cold or you get the flu or even a simple sore throat can end up killing you so people end up dying from very simple and mild infections so just make sure if you’re taking cortical steroids of a chronic nature that you get with your doctor and really understand these serious side effects all right number two chemotherapy and i’m mainly talking about a type of chemotherapy called systemic anti-cancer treatment where you’re taking a certain type of chemotherapy that affects the whole body there was a study which i’m going to put a link down below that is called the 30-day mortality after systemic anti-cancer treatment which showed that this cancer treatment actually increased the risk of dying within 30 days now the problem with chemotherapy is it kills more than the cancer it kills off your own immune system it kills healthy organ tissue it doesn’t differentiate and the other problem is that it doesn’t address the root cause of cancer which is in the mitochondria instead it targets the dna of the cell so a lot of the research right now on the on the root cause of cancer is actually in the mitochondria not the dna and ironically chemotherapy increases your risk of getting cancer so the side effect of chemotherapy which is supposed to get rid of cancer ends up causing cancer maybe a secondary cancer after you get rid of your primary cancer maybe a reactivation of the original cancer that you had that initially went in remission because chemotherapy basically suppresses your immune system the key system that helps to fight cancer and keep you alive and over 200 billion dollars just the united states is spent on these cancer drugs and procedures and radiation therapy and unfortunately 40 of medicare is spent in the last 30 days of one’s life when they’re battling most of the time cancer all right next one is antidepressants one in every eight people is on an antidepressant antidepressants can increase your risk of dying prematurely by 33 percent with ssris there’s an increased risk of suicide there’s an increase of risk of getting a car accident by 40 and if you add alcohol it can increase up to 70 percent and that is because of the side effect drowsiness sleepiness and then you have something called serotonin syndrome which occurs when you have too much serotonin you see what most people don’t realize is serotonin is needed by many other organs like your heart and the lungs and the kidneys and the liver so as you take things to manipulate serotonin and decrease serotonin you’re affecting all these other organs as well increasing your risk of dying from that particular organ failure so there’s a mortality risk of dying of heart attacks and strokes and other diseases alright the next one is the medication called bromocryptin now that’s used to treat uh parkinson’s as well as high prolactin in your blood it can lead to something called lethal circulatory collapse where your blood flow basically stops as well as something called sudden sleep and let’s just let’s say you’re driving for example and then you fall asleep i mean that’s a major side effect of this medication all right then we get to clarithromyosin which is an antibiotic for certain type of bacterial infections taking this medication can actually increase your risk of dying by 27 mainly of a cardiovascular incident and it can even occur after you stop taking medication so i don’t know about you but i don’t like that risk factor then we get to another medication called clozapine and that’s for schizophrenia that has a really high risk of major side effects including myocardial death and something called slow gut which you can get severe constipation and even die all right number seven is humero now i’ve talked about this in other videos it’s the number one selling medication for inflammation and everything related to inflammation and it’s a type of medication called a biologic it actually suppresses your immune system and there’s a black box warning on the medication which indicates a more severe side effect and that side effect is risk of getting infections leading to sepsis which is a systemic infection and even death and one thing about this medication is that you don’t want to take it if you have tb because it can be lethal just from that all right now we have colchicine now this medication is used to treat gout and the fda put a very high risk on this medication because it has significant toxicity which can create death at small doses like 35 milligrams and lastly we have digoxin also known as lanoxin and this medication is usually used for heart medication for cardiovascular failure and atrial fibrillation but the problem with this medication is it can increase your risk of dying by 20 percent that’s pretty high especially if you’re combining with quite a dime so i just wanted to bring this video up to increase your awareness that if you’re on some of these medications you might want to get with your doctor and really review it to see if it’s the best option now if you haven’t seen my video on how to dramatically take your health to a whole new level you might want to check that out i put it up right here
