Pharmaceutical Companies Spend Double on Ads than they do on Research

Posted by Jenny Mannion On January - 28 - 2008

I was not surprised when I read the latest study by Marc-André Gagnon and Joel Lexchin saying that Pharmaceutical Companies spent twice on advertising than they did on research last year but it nevertheless sickened me. Maybe it’s too fresh in my mind, the way my doctors used to try and get me to “try this new drug” or “that new drug” for pain, sleep and depression (even though I was not depressed). Funnily enough they were usually the ones being advertised on TV at the same time (Oh those relaxing Lunesta commercials…). Maybe I am annoyed because I rarely decide to watch TV and now I cannot even relax for one show because of the non-stop drug ads. Perhaps I am upset because I thought that the point of a pharmaceutical company was to actually research cures

Prescription Drugs Are Dangerous — Time to Look At Alternative Methods to Heal

Posted by Jenny Mannion On January - 16 - 2008

I was saddened when I read the latest featured article on Dr. Mercola’s site but at the same time was very happy to see the issue over the dangers of prescription drugs finally getting the publicity it so urgently needs. This country has gotten very used to popping a pill whenever anything feels a little out of whack with their body instead of investigating WHY they feel that way. Dr. Christopher Kent wrote a wonderful article, “Recreational Drugs are FAR Less Likely to Kill You Than Prescribed Drugs” that I HIGHLY recommend everyone read!

While I wrote a post, “Prescription Drugs Numb Pain but DO Not Heal Pain“, I think the above article goes WAY deeper into the dangers of relying on one doctor’s opinion

Prescription Drugs Numb Pain But Do Not Heal Pain

Posted by Jenny Mannion On November - 12 - 2007

I wrote at Ezine article by this same title “Prescription Drugs Numb Pain But Do Not Heal Pain” a few months back. It occurred to me as I came across the post today that while this is SUCH an important issue for me — I have never discussed it on my blog.

Since writing the article I have seen even more people around me be affected by prescription drug use. In addition to the CDC’s Study on The Overuse of Prescription Painkillers, I recommend reading the more political take on the situation set forth by Dr. Mercola. Dr. Mercola is one of the leading contributors on health, health products and living well articles and resources and this video is about the town of Allopath.

Certainly there are very real conditions that warrant pain killers.…

Holistic Doctor Link via the American Holistic Medical Association

Posted by Jenny Mannion On October - 23 - 2007

I’ve talked a few times about the importance of finding a doctor that treats the “whole person” and not just the symptoms. Whether it be an illness you want treatment options for or some kind of pain you feel needs to be healed — I was just made aware of a resource I wanted to share on my blog. The American Holistic Medical Association now has a link where you can search for a holistic doctor. You can break down your search by type of holistic treatment you are interested in or by city or state. I have a feeling this list is in its beginning stages but will continue to grow as time goes on. If you feel you need a different look at your health options, a more complete look at your health or just alternate methods to…

Study Shows Chronic Back Pain can be Healed by Natural Means

Posted by Jenny Mannion On September - 16 - 2007

I am so happy to see studies are finally being done and made public that PROVE natural means can heal chronic pain. I have healed myself of HORRIBLE lower back pain and as well as constant “all over pain” through all natural methods and am trying to empower people to do the same. It is refreshing seeing research being done in this field instead of JUST to approve the latest and greatest pain killer.

RESEARCH STUDY BY A LOS ANGELES PHYSICIAN SUGGESTS IT CAN BE DONE.

WEST LOS ANGELES, CA — September 10, 2007 — According to researchers with the California-based Seligman Medical Institute (SMI), it may be possible to relieve chronic back pain by simply reeducating sufferers about the physical and emotional origins of their pain. The SMI study, which was just published in the…

Having a GOOD Doctor is Indispensable in your Quest to Heal Pain

Posted by Jenny Mannion On September - 7 - 2007

I have become involved in studying health-care practices ever since I healed my chronic pain. I also have tons of first-hand experience from my 8 years in and out of doctor offices. It is imperative you can really talk to your doctor and that they really listen. In my studies I was very fortunate to come across Dr. Michael Kaye who is a chiropractor and has an amazing website. He is exactly the kind of doctor I believe people with chronic pain need in order for them to start healing. He has a wonderful site where he also maintains a blog and is a gifted writer. I love to visit http://www.frompaintopersonal gain.com and read his uplifting articles on health and life. He knows a…
