Features: Typically, prescription drugs can cause bodily function imbalances, ranging from vitamin and mineral depletion to constipation and reduced immune function, with a wide range of effects. Prescription drugs can also cause serious problems, even leading to death. The Family Medicine Handbook provides you with a tool through immediate information, helping you understand how the prescription drugs you are taking affect your body, how to eliminate the bodily dysfunction caused by medications, and how to pursue alternative treatments. The intention of this book is not to tell readers that all prescription drugs are bad. When medication is necessary to save lives, it can be used cautiously under close supervision. On the other hand, in the United States, there is a serious issue of over-prescription and incorrect prescription of drugs, resulting in 150,000 deaths in hospitals and 1 million injuries annually.
