Pop a Pill or a Plant?

  • In the United States, prescription drug use is more common among non-Hispanic White persons (50%), followed by non-Hispanic Black persons (45%), Hispanic (37%), and non-Hispanic Asian persons (33%) (CDC, 2019). 
  • American Indians and Alaska Natives have the highest rates of nonmedical prescription painkiller use (6.9%) followed by Hispanic persons (4.5%), White persons (4.3%), and Black persons (3.6%) (SAMHSA, 2105).
  • The top drug classes in the U.S. are high blood pressure medications, pain relievers, and mental health drugs (Statista, 2021).
  • It’s estimated that 66% of U.S. adults take prescription drugs (Health Policy Institute, 2021).

These are some horrifying statistics although we see it in plain sight on a daily basis if we’re paying attention; some of us have even fallen into one or more of the statistical category above. I want to share some news about a doctor that is one of few trying to make a difference by not easily passing a pill.

Now I’d like to share with you an excellent link just to show how many medications come from plants; this is just the most popular, not all inclusive. Of course a lot of herbs that are used are not on this list and maybe because Big Pharma hasn’t found a way to alter them so that they can apply for a patent for making money. https://www.thoughtco.com/drugs-and-medicine-made-from-plants-608413

Last but not least, for all that are suffering from pain and inflammation, please look at a few of my blog posts on natural treatment for pain. If we know the source of the pain, we will better know the proper treatment and a lot of the time it just takes a lifestyle and diet change. We eat a lot of inflammatory foods and drink even worse triggering beverages. First and foremost try to get a diagnoses and once you have that, look into natural therapies, make permanent diet adjustments and incorporate some way to exercise; something that you enjoy so that you stick with it.

Here is a recent blog post that may help if you suffer from chronic pain:

Decreasing Pain Naturally

Being one that suffers from chronic pain, I am always looking for that natural remedy that works best for me and fits easily into a busy lifestyle.  I am also, as many of you know, a pharmacist and a dancer by trade.  I can appreciate prescription drugs but at the same time, I know the long term effects on the body and don’t want to trade one illness for another in the future.  I can identify with those in pain due to suffering from scoliosis of the spine, arthritis and old dance injuries.  In my day to day routine, I avoid medications unless I have a very bad flare up of pain which often happens from not getting the proper rest, an increase in stress and deviating from a healthy diet.

In my constant search to find healthy ways to alleviate and eliminate chronic pain, I came across this extremely thorough video of many natural remedy choices.  I hope you will find something that is worth trying that fits your lifestyle and if you don’t, please share it with someone that you know suffers from pain, whether acute or chronic.
