Big pharma had a bad week. Overpriced drugs and some that are fatal.

Big pharma had a bad week.  The manufacturer Gilead Sciences is being sued for over charging for their Hepatitis C drug Sovaldi.  

Solvadi Greed 

We treat our patients with Hep C fairly at Second Nature.  We use affordable oral protocols and I.V. ozone with glutathione to treat Hep C and Hep B.  Second Nature patients are doing well and they know that we are committed to their continued good health.   

Can you believe it?  Sovaldi was being sold for $1000.00 per pill and $84,000 for a 12 week course WHILE this same drug was sold for much less in other countries.

Solvadi earned more than 8.5 billion in the first three quarters of 2014.  A class action lawsuit was filed in Philadelphia for price abuse on a drug patent monopoly. 

Tramadol alert

Tramadol is an opoid analgesic (painkiller). When you take it it can cause hypoglycemia with fatal results. It is a recognized complication when taken directed or abused.  Tramadol was first thought of as a weak opoid and safer to the full opoids, but after several reports of hypoglycemia it's safety has been called into question. 

Hypoglycemia associated Tramadol use was linked to an increased risk for hospitalization in the first 30 days of use. Other adverse effects include: seizure, serotonin syndrome and drug-interactions. Tell your friends and family about Tramadol's dangerous effects.  

We offer ozone therapy for chronic pain management.

Book Now  

 Ziprasidone manufactured by Pfizer Inc has been linked to a fatal skin reaction. 

Ziprasidone, an antipsychotic used for bipolar I and schizophrenia, can cause DRESS or drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic syndromes.  It can start with a fever and a rash and sometimes swollen lymph nodes.  It can progress rapidly to all parts parts of the body causing multiple organ damage to the liver, kidneys, lungs, heart or pancreas.  

We find that patients with schizophrenia do well with the removal of food allergies, improved gut function, heavy metal detoxification and natural supplements for better mood regulation.  

Naturopathic Pharmacy is worth exploring for your condition.
