Review

“If you are taking any medications, you will want to consider this important useful resource to help you proactively prevent drug complications.”
 —Dr. Joseph Mercola, founder of Mercola.com

“If you take prescription drugs, you must protect yourself and The Side Effects Bible will tell you how to do it.”
—Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., F.A.C.C., author of The Sinatra Solution: New Hope for Preventing Heart Disease

“A wealth of lifesaving information.”
—Dr. Ronald Klatz, M.D., D.O., American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

Product Description

Fatigue, dry mouth, weight gain, nausea, liver damage, stroke, heart failure. Every year tens of millions of Americans suffer from such unwelcome consequences of over-the-counter and prescription drugs. Most believe these side effects are the inevitable price they must pay for restoring health. But that is not the case. Drawing on cutting-edge scientific research, The Side Effects Bible reveals that up to thirty percent of drug-induced side effects are caused because the drug saps the human body of essential vitamins and minerals—everyday nutrients that can easily be replaced by following the simple, healthy dietary and supplement guidelines outlined in this first-of-its-kind reference guide. Even minor deficiencies of necessary nutrients can bring on major difficulties, and The Side Effects Bible will tell readers what to eat for every drug they take.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drug Awareness, October 23, 2005
By Acute Observer (Jersey Shore USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Side Effects Bible: The Dietary Solution to Unwanted Side Effects of Common Medications (Paperback)
This important book describes the side effects of common medications and their dietary solutions. To use this book first find the generic name of the drug you are researching. Then search the index to learn of the medication, its possible side effects, which nutrients it destroys, and the supplements and foods you can use to negate its effects. Then discuss what you've learned with your physician to make sure the nutrient won't interfere with other drugs, worsen a medical problem, etc.

Chapter 1 tells of an example of "nutrient robbery" which can be responsible for the side effects from many medications (p.3). Many common drugs interfere with your ability to digest, absorb, transport, metabolize, synthesize, utilize, or excrete vitamins, mineral, and other vital substances. Examples are given (p.4). Certain drugs increase the rate of excretion of nutrients from the body, and cause the side effects (p.5). Even a small deficiency can be dangerous, such as vitamin C and calcium (p.6). Statin drugs for high cholesterol require their use for a life-time (p.7), and this can harm the heart (p.8)! Common antibiotics can be dangerous thieves of nutrients (p.10).

Chapter 2 discusses various nutrients, what they do for you, and the problems caused when you lack them. They tell what drugs cause their loss. Did you know of the side effects of sodium bicarbonate (p.25)? Broccoli is high in chromium (p.29). Aspirin interferes with iron, too much iron can cause diabetes, cirrhosis, and heart damage (p.41). Many antibiotics can cause a loss of nutrients such as niacin (pp.49-50), potassium (pp.54-55), riboflavin (p.57), and thiamine (p.65). Aspirin interferes with vitamin C (p.75).

Chapter 3 lists all the drugs with what they do, possible side effects, and their nutritional depletions. You should refer to this chapter if you are taking any medications, or have done so in the past.

2.0 out of 5 stars VERY DISAPPOINTING...BORDERING ON SUSPECT..., September 17, 2008
This review is from: The Side Effects Bible: The Dietary Solution to Unwanted Side Effects of Common Medications (Paperback)
THE first four drugs I wanted to look up were not in here!!!!!!! Common ones. I checked spellings, etc., NOTHING, NADA. The other disappointment is how little is provided about the drawbacks of drugs, info that is easily available at this point for years. I speak most especially about Prozac as an example. Nary a word about the horrendous reputation this drug now has...
I rarely think about actually returning a book, but I thought seriously, several times, about returning this one. So much potential, so much need for facts, and so very skewed in its presentation. Major bummer, authors... Don't bother buying a new one; get it as cheaply as possible so you can invest in things that give you wider base of info also.....
And oh BTW, the drugs I looked up are NOT new, as this book is 2005 (e.g. Welbutrin, Claritin). Want to clarify that.
