When Adjustments Don't Work: How Drugs Cause Subluxation

DRUG WATCH

Remember the 3 causes of subluxations?
(1) Physical trauma
(2) Emotional stress
(3) Chemical stress

Drugs are a big source of chemical stress on the nervous system. They interfere with nutrient absorption. They work differently in conjunction with different chemicals such as caffeine and alcohol. They also interact differently with other drugs.

I didn't know a certain thyroid hormone raises blood sugar and can complicate diabetes.

Lipitor increases Vitamin A levels in the blood and monitoring to prevent Vitamin A toxicity is recommended.

Prednisone reduces calcium absorption and depletes vitamin C , selenium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B6 and zinc (all important nutrients for soft tissue and nerve healing).

Prilosec interferes with absorption of beta carotene, iron and vitamin B12.

I found this informative website below that lists side effects, nutrient depletion, herbal interactions and health notes. I recommend bookmarking its main pain to be used as a reference whenever you have a concern about a drug.
