Botox: Why?February 21st, 2008
More and more doctors are using Botox for all kinds of different things that worry people. This is an alarming occurrence.
Botox as you may or may not know is the worlds most toxic protein. Doctors are using it as a muscle relaxant. It inhibits your muscles from contracting. In other words it stops them from working. Botox has been talked about so much that people are starting to accept it as a household word. This does not however make it any safer. The surprising thing to me is that even though doctors admit that the effects are only temporary and don't have any long lasting positive effects, use is still increasing. Perhaps people are getting comfortable with the idea of being poisoned little by little for temporary comfort or vanity. Here are some facts for you to consider. The listed side effects for Botox include: "rare spontaneous reports of death, ... anaphylaxis, dysphagia, pneumonia, and/or other significant debility. There have also been rare reports of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes." In clinical trials the most frequently reported adverse reactions reported "were headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, blepharoptosis and nausea." Of course the doctors says something like, "But these side effects are very rare." So, just how rare are they? In the clinical trials 49% (that's nearly half, for those of you who are math challenged) reported adverse events. The most frequently reported problems included "respiratory infection, headache, flu syndrome, blepharoptosis, pain and nausea. By the way, blepharoptosis is when the eye lid droops. Long term this poison, like most other poisons will cause liver and kidney problems. I mention the long term because since this product is a temporary solution, people tend to get it over and over again. Wake up America! Drugs are poisons, and they are dangerous! If you have some health problems, don't try to cover up the symptoms with drugs. Change to a healthy natural lifestyle and let your body heal itself. That is the only way that healing actually occurs. Don't fight the body. Help it to heal with good clean whole foods, water, rest, and exercise. Staying healthy is not all that complicated. Just take some basic steps in the right direction. Just eat a high quality natural foods diet, exercise, drink plenty of good clean water, make sure you get fiber (whole raw foods), get plenty of sleep, breathe deeply and have a gratitude attitude. Your body will take care of you, if you take care of it. Coach G. Success in health comes from lifestyle described here.
