Medication Cascade

 

This shirt is funny, and a little sad. When I do consultations for new patients I am frequently surprised at how many medications the people who come to see me are on, and how many of them are to treat the symptoms of the side effects of another drug.

Medications can cause other conditions unrelated to the health problems they're prescribed to treat. Unaware of this, patients very often consult their medical doctors about this "new" condition — only to be prescribed yet another drug that could produce still more side effects. It's a cascade that goes on and on until the causes of their symptoms are addressed.

One of my goals when working with patients is to get them healthy enough to need very little if any, medication. Treatments should be natural first, drugs second, and surgery last.
