Big Pharma's toxic medications DEPLETE critical vitamins and minerals from your body...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Alright, welcome to this special report, Big Pharma's Dirty Secret.
How prescription drugs are starving your body of essential nutrients.
And did you know that?
Did you know that when you take drugs, they actually deplete certain nutrients that your body needs?
We're going to go through the list here today of the top drugs and what they destroy or deplete in your body, and then what symptoms or other diseases are caused by those nutritional deficiencies.
And if you want to see this in a written form, Just go to naturalnews.com because this article should be posted there as well.
So here we go.
We're going to start with statins.
Number one, statins depletes CoQ10.
CoQ10 is, of course, absolutely vital for your heart and muscle function.
And that's why some people who take statins end up with extreme fatigue or weakness or even just death.
If you take statins, your CoQ10, which also helps feed the mitochondria of some of your cells, your CoQ10 is massively depleted, and that can lead to other diseases.
All right, second one, metformin.
All right, metformin.
So this is prescribed to a lot of diabetics, a very common drug.
What does it destroy?
Vitamin B12, which is critical for energy and nerve function.
And if you're lacking vitamin B12, what are you going to experience?
Dementia-like memory loss, chronic fatigue, and in advanced stages, it can cause numbness.
So you're taking one drug, metformin, but then you're suffering all these other symptoms, and most people do not realize that those symptoms are caused by the drug.
And of course, mainstream doctors don't tell them either.
Okay, next one, number three, proton pump inhibitors, PPIs.
So PPIs cause your body to lose key minerals like magnesium, calcium, and iron.
And if you are deficient in these minerals, you can have heart arrhythmias, for example, or you can have osteoporosis.
So be very cautious about PPIs, and they have other side effects as well, but we're focused on the nutritional deficiencies here.
They can absolutely deplete your body of many of these minerals.
Okay, antibiotics.
Like amoxicillin, etc.
What do antibiotics cause?
Well, they can destroy your gut flora, of course, because they are antibiotics.
They can also destroy your B vitamins and vitamin K, which is also made by your gut bacteria.
So then, when you're lacking B vitamins and you're lacking vitamin K, you can have poor blood clotting, weakened immunity.
It turns out that B vitamins are really critical for protecting you against...
Spike protein.
Remember how I've interviewed people like Dr. Brian Artis?
We've talked about nicotine.
Do you know that one of the B vitamins is called nicotinamide because it's based on nicotine?
I mean, the same similar morphology of the molecule.
Yeah.
Why is it called nicotinamide?
Think about it.
Or, in a different form, niacin.
It's a B vitamin, right?
So, if you take antibiotics, you can end up...
Depleted of these vitamins.
So be very cautious about taking antibiotics, especially when, in many cases, they're useless.
For example, they're useless against so-called viral symptoms.
Although, you know, we could have a whole other podcast about virology and some of the fraud in that.
Nevertheless, we'll move on.
Number five, diuretics.
These will drain your body of electrolytes, like potassium and magnesium and zinc.
And without electrolytes, you get muscle cramps.
You get high blood pressure.
You get an irregular heartbeat.
You need electrolytes.
It's got what plants crave.
Electrolytes are really important for your body, obviously.
So if you're taking diuretics and you're not replenishing with these key electrolyte minerals, then you're in trouble.
And again, very few people are ever told this by their mainstream doctors.
All right, number six, warfarin, the blood thinner, which starts with the word war, and even it has the word warfare.
I mean, what a horrible name for a chemical that declares war on your body.
This depletes your body of vitamin K, which is, as we mentioned earlier, critical for blood clotting and also bone health.
So if you take warfarin, you can end up with uncontrolled internal bleeding or...
Osteoporosis.
So you've got to be aware of all these things.
Number seven, prednisone, a steroid.
This can deplete bone minerals.
Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and even vitamin D. You can end up with osteoporosis or muscle weakness or adrenal fatigue.
And again, they don't tell you about this.
Here's a chemical that sort of carpet bombs your body.
Good luck!
See what happens.
All right.
Next is number eight, a seizure drug called phenytoin.
It's a brain nutrient thief.
It actually depletes your body of folate, B12, and B6.
So this can cause memory loss or depression, and then they'll treat you with antidepressants.
It can cause nerve damage or even birth defects.
So be very cautious about anti-seizure drugs.
Here's number nine, an antidepressant.
Paroxetine.
This actually depletes your body of B6, which is needed for serotonin production, and also folate, so it can actually worsen your depression symptoms, and it can cause cognitive fog.
As an antidepressant, it actually makes you more depressed.
Sound familiar?
You know?
That's what they do.
Now, recently I've talked about cognitive peptides, peptide therapy.
And there's one peptide that I'm using four days a week.
It's called C-Max in a spray.
It's really experimental medicine.
It's not a prescription.
And I find that that's just extraordinary.
I had some like 14 hours ago, just one little spray, and it gives me a lot of mental focus.
It's been used in Russia and other countries for many, many years.
In people for stroke recovery, I found out.
So it helps people's neurology kind of reform and rebuild.
The company that offers that, by the way, they're moving their offices right now.
They're really overloaded and their website's kind of slow.
So I'm not even going to mention their name, but if you want to find out who it is, you can go to rangerdeals.com and they're listed right there on top with a...
With a discount code because we have an affiliate arrangement with them.
So you can check it out if you wish.
But their shipping time is delayed right now and the website's kind of slow.
So I don't know.
You might want to wait.
You might want to wait a week on that.
All right.
Number 10 is ibuprofen, which is a gut destroyer.
As an NSAID, you know, you've heard this about painkillers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory.
It depletes your body of vitamin C, magnesium, and iron, and it can cause leaky gut, anemia, slow wound healing, and high blood pressure.
Number 11, theophylline, is an asthma drug.
Depletes your body of magnesium, vitamins B1 and B2, which can end up causing fatigue and nerve pain and muscle cramps, etc.
And this goes on and on.
Even aspirin can deplete your body of vitamin C and magnesium.
There's a nerve pain drug called gabapentin that depletes your body of vitamin B1, which is essential for nerve function, and so on.
So the more of these drugs you take, then the more depleted your body becomes of these critical vitamins and minerals.
And the only way to balance this is to either, obviously, one, don't take the pharmaceutical if you can safely...
Do something different.
A lot of those pharmaceuticals are really just covering up ongoing chronic lifestyle choices such as unhealthy food or lack of exercise or lack of sunshine, lack of light, etc.
So work with a naturopathic physician if you can.
And really work to gradually get yourself off of any medications that you can.
Again, talk with your naturopath.
I'm not your doctor.
I'm not giving you medical advice.
If you want better nutrition, you have to stop the pharmaceuticals that are robbing yourself of nutrition if you can safely change your health condition or find alternatives to those pharmaceuticals.
The other thing that you can do, of course, is you can supplement.
The key vitamins and the minerals, you can supplement vitamin D, CoQ10, you know, B12 is something that's really important to supplement.
I supplement that too, by the way.
Because I don't eat tons of meat products, so I actually supplement B12.
I've seen a lot of vegetarians and vegans that are B12 deficient, and they have major skin problems.
So be cautious about that.
For supplementation, you can take magnesium glycinate.
For your heart and your muscles, you can take vitamin K2 plus D3.
You can eat nutrient-dense superfoods, such as...
Organic bone broth or food concentrates.
You could help detox from all the toxic pharmaceuticals using NAC, N-acetylcysteine, for example, which helps support your body's natural production of glutathione.
And if you take Tylenol, which is over-the-counter painkiller acetaminophen, you are potentially damaging your liver.
And you're depleting glutathione stores.
So you may really benefit from NAC, and NAC has a lot of other benefits.
Actually, NAC is one of my favorite supplements.
But you've got to enhance nutrition and then stop the depletion as best you can.
And when you do this, now again, do it safely under the guidance of a qualified naturopathic physician.
When you do this, you will begin to typically feel better.
And in many cases, you'll find that it was the drug that was killing you.
Actually, I knew a police captain in Arizona, and he got on statin drugs, and it very nearly killed him.
And he was asking me about it.
This was many years ago.
He was asking me, like, what about these statins?
Every time I'm on these statins, I feel like I can barely move.
I can't function.
I can't run.
I don't have any energy.
Well, he was being depleted of CoQ10.
And if he had continued, he'd probably be dead.
So, of course, I talked to him and I encouraged him, you know, look, this is probably a CoQ10 deficiency.
This is a statin drug side effect.
You know, why are you taking statin drugs?
Oh, my doctor told me cholesterol is bad.
Oh, so you're going to die from the statin drug?
I mean, you know, the cholesterol diagnosis is a total myth.
We've got books on that at brightlearn.ai about how, you know, all the whole...
The whole cholesterol scam is just designed to sell statin drugs.
It's one of the most profitable categories of drugs ever for Big Pharma.
But statin drugs kill some people.
And yeah, they can lower certain levels of cholesterol and they can make a number change on the chart.
But at what cost?
You know, destroying your ability to function or even killing you?
No.
Look, if you think you have high cholesterol, again, work with a naturopath.
But also get off the seed oils.
Get off the toxic seed oils, the rapeseed, canola, all that garbage.
Get off the shortening, which is just hydrogenated crap oil.
Get off the fake butters, the margarines and all that crap.
Just eat real butter, for God's sake.
Eat real healthy oils, avocados, eggs, even some animal fat from time to time or coconut oil from time to time.
Again, I'm not your doctor.
Talk with a naturopath.
But in my opinion, as a food scientist and a long-time nutritionist, I don't eat seed oils.
I eat real food.
So yeah, I eat butter.
I eat occasional meat.
I eat a lot of avocados, as you know.
I eat coconut oil.
I eat natural fats.
I cook with olive oil.
Or you could cook with avocado oil.
You know, high-quality oils.
And you can get your salad dressings, you can make them with those high-quality oils, including, you know, like coconut oil, a little bit of apple cider vinegar, put it in with some herbs, etc., and some olive oil.
You're going to have a really nice salad dressing there.
But if you go to the store, most of the salad dressings they sell are loaded with canola oil because it's the cheap crap oil.
And then people have, you know, cardiovascular problems because of the inflammatory effects of all the garbage oils that they are eating.
And the doctor puts them on statins and then, you know, they lose all their energy.
He's like, oh my god, I'm dying.
Yeah, you're killing yourself with these drugs.
So get off the toxic pharmaceuticals and get on to healing foods and good nutrition and superfoods and healthy lifestyle choices and you'll be much better off.
