Naturopathic Doctor and Compounding Laboratory Supervisor for Post Haste Pharmacy
Many pharmaceutical medications upset balanced body chemistry and block nutritional support. By the same analysis, a medication that is helpful in reducing symptoms may provide a clue as to which chemical pathway is imbalanced. For example, the patient whose symptoms are relieved on a steroid may need adrenal support. Likewise, a patient who feels “washed out” by diuretics may have mineral or electrolyte needs. Unfortunately, many pharmaceutical medications, while supporting a particular symptom, upset nutritional balance and thus create new problems. By adjusting nutritional support based on medication use, you can help the nutritional harmony and balance body chemistry. This may shorten the time a medication is needed or allow a reduction in dosage sooner than normal. Furthermore, even if symptoms are resolved or controlled with medication, the goal should be to bring the body closer to optimal health and thereby reduce further disease.
In some cases, symptoms are caused by the medications or dietary supplements being taken. Whole food concentrates, available through your naturopathic doctor or compounding pharmacy, are designed to help in nutritionally supporting balanced body chemistry and are not meant to diagnose or replace medical care. Be sure to consult with a board certified healthcare professional that will make educated recommendations and answer all your questions before taking any medications or dietary supplements.
ANTACIDS
Antacids are used to reduce symptoms of indigestion causing burning sensations. In most instances, the discomfort is due to insufficient hydrochloric acid, which allows for protein putrefaction (causing stomach burning) and fermentation of carbohydrates (creating gas, bloating, etc.). Occasionally, the patient secretes too much acid, and balancing the autonomic nervous system will normalize acid secretion. In either case, it is easy to see how nutritional support may be helpful balancing body chemistry.
ANTIBIOTIC / ANTIFUNGAL
Repeated used of these medications may indicate the need for nutritional support to help balance bowel flora and raise the body’s ability to resist infection.
