Recently my father (who is a young 89) has been in a nursing facility receiving physical therapy after a fall, then surgery, and dealing with pulmonary edema/pneumonia. He has been on more prescriptions in the last month than he has the last 20 years.
In my conversation with a physician's assistant, he was concerned that my dad was on too much medicine and it may be hindering his recovery from the pulmonary edema. In our conversation he referred to vitamins as medicine. Really?
Here's the thing...I know there are vitamins (supplements) that are synthetic, just like prescriptions/medicine, but my dad is taking Shaklee products, which are whole food supplements. Better quality than the food he is receiving at this facility. Why? Well I'm pretty confident in saying this facility is serving genetically modified food. Whereas Shaklee's products are above organic grade.
All in all I was glad to speak with this person as I reduced the number of prescriptions (the true medicine, not vitamins/supplements), my dad is receiving, by 3.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
By the way, if you know someone who wants whole food supplements and may be tired of being a victim to the medical maze, I'm here to help. They may reach me at marybeth@mamabearproductions.net.
Many blessings,
