Healthcare in the US continues to deteriorate. Unfortunately, like a "boiling frog," we are becoming more complacent as the costs for lower coverage insurance rises. These costs not only affect our wallets, but also the loss of time and productivity spent waiting at the doctor's office. Waiting times can often be an hour or more....

The word on the streets is that the most abused drugs these days are found not being creatively cooked or grown, but bought over the counter in convenience stores near you. The drugs that are most often misused are not for recreational use but for the reduction of pain. The same pain that is the body’s designed warning system that acts as an alarm when a limit of some type has been reached in your body in terms of function, and that the body is not equipped to handle the activity and is unable to adapt further. Unfortunately far too many of us rely on these drugs to ignore or mask the pain, until the point of being imprisoned by this false hope.
False Hope In A Pill
Acetaminophen, sold under the brand name Tylenol, among others, may be among the most dangerous medicines on the market. That’s alarming as almost every household has a bottle of this and does not think twice about using it. Acetaminophen overdose is actually the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers across the U.S., with upwards of 100,000 cases per year. This includes 56,000 emergency room visits, 2,600 hospitalizations and an estimated 458 deaths due to acute liver failure.
Acetaminophen can be much more dangerous than you previously suspected because it can be toxic to your liver even at recommended doses when taken daily for just a couple of weeks. The risk of severe liver damage and/or death increases significantly if you:
- Take more than one regular strength (325 mg) acetaminophen when combined with a narcotic analgesic like codeine or hydrocodone.
- Take more than the prescribed dose of an acetaminophen-containing product in a 24-hour period.
- Take more than one acetaminophen-containing product at the same time.
- Drink alcohol while taking an acetaminophen product.
The News That’s Behind Bars
Last year, PBS News reported that 1,500 deaths over the past 10 years have been linked to taking a little bit more acetaminophen than the recommended dosage. The problem is that acetaminophen is considered relatively safe when taken as recommended; the margin between a safe dose and potentially lethal one is extremely small. An FDA advisory panel actually recommended adding a warning label about liver damage to acetaminophen as early as 1977, but it was not done until 2009.
On January 14, this year, the FDA finally issued a statement urging doctors and other health professionals to discontinue prescribing and dispensing prescription combination drug products that contain more than 325 milligrams (mg) of acetaminophen per tablet, capsule, or other dosage unit. They go on to state that there is no evidence that by taking more there is any benefit that outweighs the risk of severe liver damage.

Are you suffering with pain for so long that your constant search has led you no closer to the real problem?
The first thing you do know is that the pain is real and you also find that…
- It can be intermittent or constant
- It can be sharp, dull, in one spot or over a broader area
- It can distract you at any time of the day
- It can irritate you
- It can hamper your lifestyle
- It can control you… and even control those around you too!
In fact, pain can be so bad it can affect an entire family which emotionally then causes you more pain.
Pain – What is it?
PAIN: So what is it then? Well here’s the answer in simple terms.
Pain is a warning signal from your body. Pain tells you that your body has exceeded “some” physical, chemical or emotional limit – it can no longer adapt to handle it like is used to.
The Unfortunate Reality of Man’s Chemistry Solution to Pain Relief
The unfortunate truth is that over the last century man has been searching for pain solutions and cures in the chemistry lab. While the pharmaceutical drugs created for pain relief have worked remarkably well temporarily, it has been the downfall for our society. Today, our society has fallen under the belief that the cure to all of our ailments is to be found in a pill, lotion, or potion rather than to address the real cause to our low back pain, migraine headaches, carpal tunnel, knee pain, sciatica, poor posture, fatigue, period pain, neck pain, tension, weight problem, and the never ending list. You see, the way these drugs work is to disable, for a short time, our brain’s ability to feel sensation of pain. The pain’s still there, but we just can’t feel it! It’s like placing a piece of duct tape over our oil light that is blaring at us on our car dashboard. Just because we can’t see (or feel it), it doesn’t mean it’s not there! The worst part is that when we temporarily can not feel the pain; our body has no way to stop us from injuring our body further by allowing us to do the activities that the pain would not normally allow us to do.
Although there have been incredible breakthroughs the real “wins” in health and pain relief have been proven to be when we have repaired our bodies naturally with the help of natural spinal correction (the foundation of your skeletal system), allowing natural repairs and restorations to our nervous system, plus physical rehabilitation and exercises to the muscles, joints, and discs which may be affected.

For decades, arthritis was considered an inherent part of the aging process and a signal to a patient that it’s time to slow down. But not anymore.
