Antibiotics Cause Kidney Injury & Turn Statin Deadly – Are You on Your Own with Statin Drug and Other Medications Combination in this time of Year Again?
It’s that time of year again, when millions of people get prescription for antibiotics for viral infection (cold, flu, bronchitis) for which they are useless, harmful, and dangerous. Some of these drugs become very dangerous and even deadly when combined with other prescription drugs like statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) and blood pressure drugs. Unfortunately, the folks most vulnerable to these prescription disasters are older folks, for whom tens of millions of these prescriptions are written annually-too often in this dangerous combination.
Know the Facts-Antibiotics & Statin
· If you’re prescribed any of the statin drugs-atorvastatin (Lipitor), simvastatin (Zocor), or lovastatin (Mevacor)-do not take antibiotics erythromycin (E-mycin, Eryc, Ery-Tab) or clarithromycin (Biaxin).If you do, you’re at a greater risk of muscle damage or destruction (which will land you in the hospital) or even death.
· And if you’re prescribed a fluoroquinolone antibiotic (Cipro, Levaquin, Avelos), with or without statin, you’re at a higher risk for serious kidney injury, which will also land you in the hospital. You may be on a statin for your cholesterol. This multiplies the effects of the statin drug by 4-10 fold! In these cases you must double-check your prescriptions and question your doctor to save your own life.

Good Health Depends on Working “plumbing”, and that Depends on a Healthy Digestive System!
Your digestive and bowel health are so important.
Your digestive system- you digestive and bowel health-is responsible of delivering critically important vitamins and nutrition to your system. Dr. Bernard Jensen States, “80% of all diseases start in colon. It’s crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems.” Fortunately, once you fix your digestive problems, almost everything else can get better.”

If you do, are you making your symptoms worse by taking antiacids, drugs, laxatives….?
You’re about to discover how popular laxative, drugs and antacids ‘rot away’ your digestive tract causing pain!
Your system comes to rely on antacids and “forget” how to operate normally:
1- They suppress pepsin, a stomach acid vital to digest protein
2- Many of the products contain ALUMINUM, a toxic heavy metal that’s been potentially linked to Alzheimer’s
3- Some contain calcium carbonate. Excessive use of this can lead to kidney stones and constipation
4-“Antiacids will sometimes cause your stomach to produce more acid-a condition called acid rebound, which worsens your gastrointestinal problem” – Dr. Ronald Hoffman
Some scientists have linked non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as Naproxen and Ibuprofen to overgrowth yeast problem. Below, I share some important quotes to keep risk of painful horror away:
- “Long-term use of antacids can result in side-effects, including diarrhea”– The National Institute of Health, Federal Government
- “Prilosec actually worsen your problem because they reduce vital stomach acid used to digest your food”– Dr. Mercola
- “Arthritis drug users who take antiacids may risk bleeding”- The Associated Press and The Washington Post Health
- “People who have been taking acid-suppressing drugs were 400% more likely to get pneumonia than people who hadn’t taken the drugs…”– U.S. News & World Report, international magazine. The results of an antiacids study of 500,000 people involving 149 doctors revealed the above little- know conclusion
