Drug Muggers How To Keep Your Medicine From Stealing the Life Out of You
Author: Suzy Cohen, Dr. Samuel Cohen

Drug Muggers is not just about medicine, it's primarily about nutritional deficiencies that cause health problems (often labelled as a disease). This could be the result of lifestyle choices, diet and medication. This book is packed with so much information in an easy-to-read format, it is a MUST if you are dealing with any type of health concer... more »n, or if you take medication. There is a ground-breaking chapter on drug-food interactions and another chapter on how you can pick the best supplement. Suzy gives you insider information on what to look for, what to avoid and how pretty labels mean nothing when the vitamins inside come up short. Millions of people worldwide are taking medicine. This often means you are likely being robbed of essential nutrients because drugs can reduce your body's stores of vital life-sustaining nutrients.When a drug robs your body of a nutrient you will experience another effect of that drug, something you call a side effect. You probably didn't know that drugs could do that, but I bet you have experienced the drug mugging effect first hand. One example is with antibiotics...they are drug muggers for your normal intestinal flora and when they rob your gut of these 'friendly bacteria' you probably get diarrhea, cramps and nausea. Another example is with statin cholesterol drugs, like Zocor, Mevacor, Lipitor, Crestor, etc....when these medications mug your body of Coenzyme Q10, you get side effects like muscle aches, fatigue and cardiac problems in the long haul. That's because Co Q10 is found in your muscles (your heart is a muscle isn't it?) and so when these drugs mug Co Q10, your entire cardiovascular system and brain pay the price. Dozens of popular medications mug CoQ10, not just cholesterol busters. Women who take hormonal replacement drugs or birth control pills could be robbed of B vitamins (among other important nutrients) and this causes all sorts of problems including low thyroid, weight gain and depression. The list goes on and on. I have termed the nutrient depletion, the Drug Mugger effect. The information which I am sharing with you is rarely known by the public, but knowing it is very crucial to your health and well-being and it could save your life. One simple way to replenish nutrients is to eat a balanced diet that includes foods rich in vitamins and minerals, including leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, grains, nuts, seeds and...if you like meat, grass-fed, hormone free meats. But sometimes eating doesn't do enough to offset the drug mugging effect, and supplementation of a particular nutrient becomes necessary.
