Pill Poppers: Are Prescription Drugs Really Beneficial?
Pill Poppers: Are Prescription Drugs Really Beneficial?
Story at-a-glance. By Dr. Mercola
The average person may be prescribed 14,000 pills (this doesn’t even include over-the-counter meds) and by the time you reach your 70s you could be taking five or more pills every day, according to Pill Poppers, a documentary
Pill Poppers takes you on a journey through some of the most popular drugs in the world, from the ADHD drug Ritalin to drugs for erectile dysfunction, depression, pain and contraception, asking: are these pills really beneficial, or are they doing more harm than good?
Many people assume that the medications they’re taking are exerting carefully designed effects on their biological functions; in reality, these effects were not designed but rather observed – often simply as a matter of dumb luck
Virtually no drug is side effect-free and these side effects are often treated with even more drugs, perpetuating a viscous cycle
Before taking a medication, it is important to assess whether the short- and long-term risks outweigh the benefits, and whether there are less toxic, non-drug alternatives available

Eating Peppers May Reduce Parkinson's Risk
Story at-a-glance (by Dr. Mercola)
Eating peppers – but not other vegetables in the Solanaceae family -- was associated with a 19 percent lower risk of Parkinson’s disease in a new study
The association was strongest among those who had never smoked, and it’s thought the nicotine naturally found in the peppers may have a neuroprotective benefit
Although Parkinson’s disease is said to have no known cause, eating a varied whole-foods diet that includes healthful veggies like peppers appears to be one simple way to lower your risk
Avoiding exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, industrial solvents and mercury is also important in avoiding Parkinson’s

oneerlijk brengt geld in het laatje en eerlijk duurt het langst
In een artikel van Dick Wittenberg in de NRC lees ik: 'Een veroordeling van een hondenfokker uit het Brabantse Oud Gastel legt “een bom” onder het fokken van rashonden. Dat zegt de stichting Dier en Recht.
De fokker had een Ierse setter met erfelijke epilepsie verkocht aan een Rotterdamse vrouw, zonder erbij te vertellen dat die ziekte bij dit ras erg veel voorkomt. De kennelhouder had dat risico ook niet op de website vermeld. Toen de ziekte zich na vijftien maanden openbaarde, ontkende de fokker dat er sprake was van epilepsie, volgens de kantonrechter in Bergen op Zoom vermoedelijk uit angst voor negatieve publiciteit.'
Mij verbaast het vooral dat dit nooit eerder is aangeklaagd. Lees het hele artikel op: http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2013/01/03/aansprakelijkheid-bij-ziekte-legt-bom-onder-fokken-rashonden/
