Many people ask me about the Hippocrates Health Institute program and the medications they are on.
Should you stop taking your medications if you plan to do the program and begin living the Hippocrates health lifestyle.
Now mind you, this is my opinion and I do not speak for the Institute (although I’m pretty sure they would tell you the same thing). In any case, I am not a doctor and not qualified to give medical advice, etc.
Ok, now that I’ve made that clear, why does this question come up so much? I think that it’s because many thousands of people learn about Hippocrates Institute when they are facing a serious illness and are already taking several medications.
There are other reasons to go. I first went to Hippocrates Health Institute simply to become healthier and feel better than I did. I’m almost 50 and have never taken any kind of medication on a regular basis in my entire life. There was a time I would occasionally take medicine, but it has been many years that I don’t take any at all.
Just to be clear, this is not a dogma for me. I’m not someone that would turn away from medications for myself or my family in every case. I just live this lifestyle and have not needed any, that’s all.
Another possibility is the one experienced by my father-in-law. His prostate was enlarged and his psa levels were high and the doctors immediately had him taking about 5 different medications. He took them, but before he had a biopsy, we encouraged him to try the Hippocrates Institute. He had caught it early, and quickly healed himself and dropped the medications. He was 78 at the time and he is still doing great 2 years later.
If you’re on medications on a regular basis, you’re not alone. The average for someone over 40 is a whopping 10 -- 15 prescriptions a day. Because the medical profession doesn’t look at your whole body and how it all works together, they will prescribe a medication to address the symptom you’re having.
This medication may help with that symptom, but it in turn causes other (often more serious) malfunctions in the body. So new medications are prescribed to deal with the new issues -- which cause more and so on. There’s a lot of money in pharmaceuticals.
And this scenario does not take into account medication interactions between the various drugs and all the unnecessary pain and suffering so many people are experiencing. I am very passionate about this. Much of the way we live in the modern world is no way to live at all.
If you’re already far down this road, there is no instant way to get off the treadmill, but the fantastic news is that you can do it in most cases.
Getting back to my original question. No, you don’t want to drop the medications when you adopt this lifestyle. You want to work with your body and eliminate them when you no longer need them.
As you take the direction of your own health out of the hands of anyone else, including your doctor, and take it on yourself -- you are the one who knows yourself best and you are the expert in your own health.
A bit of this is in the video, though I went further in this post.
Please leave me your comments, thank-you.
