I am not anti-pharmaceutical. As a physician, I recognize that pharmaceuticals have a place in health-care. However, I object to the cozy relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and physicians, in which the pharmaceutical industry provides physicians with "education" and "gifts." I also object to the dominant role of pharmaceuticals in health-care. Since life is metabolism, and since metabolism depends on food and water, health-care should focus on food and water.

Pharmaceutical solutions that are meant for application to delicate membranes of the body should be adjusted to approximately the same tonicity as that of the body fluids.

Pharmaceutical grade/standard relates to the purity of an oil. Nordic Naturals' fish oils are tested, before and after production, for heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxin. The results are documented showing the absence of these environmental toxins. Only a true pharmaceutical grade/standard product will pass these standards.

The NPS is a large reserve of antibiotics, chemical antidotes, and other medical supplies set aside for emergencies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that it has the capacity to move these stockpiled materials to affected areas in the U.S. within 12 hours of notification. There are eight different stockpiles, strategically located around the country.

anti-pope is someone who lays false claim to the papacy. In many cases, they would assume papal duties in defiance of the true Pope. Felix V (1440-1449) was the last antipope.

Pharmaceutical-grade" is a classification of the potency and purity of the product. "Produced under pharmaceutical conditions" means that the laboratory where the product is produced and packaged is supervised and under the authority of a government agency that oversees companies that produce prescription medication in a sterile environment. Iceland Health is the only company producing fish oils that complies with these strict requirements.

Mineral supplementation has been very safe. However, specific drugs may have specific guidelines for use. It is recommended that, before starting any mineral or nutritional program, you check with your healthcare professional for possible interactions. However, we have seen a positive side effect with supplements. As mineral deficiencies are corrected, the need for pharmaceutical drugs that mask deficiency symptoms may no longer be needed.

Not surprisingly, HGS maintains that it is not the same as Pfizer, Merck and the big pharmas. While the big pharmas focus on finding small molecule drugs (those that are easily digested by humans) HGS focuses on the use of genes and proteins to develop drugs, growth factors and signaling molecules. Growth factors and signaling molecules manipulate and stimulate cells to perform various tasks.

The Pharmaceutical Sciences is an interdisciplinary field which covers the diverse aspects of pharmaceuticals. It seeks to achieve a better understanding and control of the factors influencing clinical response to drug therapy. Emphasis is given to the application of pharmacokinetics and physical-chemical principles to questions of pharmacological, pharmacotherapy and clinical importance.

Pharmaceutical grade" means that the product has been manufactured under GMP conditions and is safe, pure and effective. Under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) every step of the process is documented by using established SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). This includes training, equipment, raw materials, facilities, and final release criteria. Everything can be traced back to the date, time, person, lot number, and piece of equipment used.

Medications are meant to bring relief and healing, but some drugs have serious side effects that threaten patients' health and lives. Our firm has experience with product liability cases and can handle the complex process of negotiating and litigating claims against drug manufacturers. These pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to ensure that their drugs are not unreasonably dangerous.

You can't attempt to fix something without a thorough knowledge of how it works...so, yes, drug manufacturers know exactly what nutritional deficiencies cause various diseases. Their job is not to supply the public with this information, but to create a saleable drug that can alleviate symptoms. But alleviating a symptom doesn't mean the "cause" has been addressed. Non-organic "drugs" can mask symptoms, but rarely repair the underlying cause of the problem.

Yes. By using the state's purchasing power for 35 million Californians, it can win large discounts on the costs of pharmaceuticals. Californians will then be paying what the Europeans, Scandinavians, Australians and Canadians pay for the same pharmaceuticals and, at those prices, pharmaceuticals are affordable.

long as the herbs have been prescribed by a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and the doctor has been apprised of your total medical condition, including what drugs you are taking and what you medical history is -- there will be no negative interaction. Certain conditions and/or their drugs do require caution and special consideration. These include: epilepsy and seizure medication, heart conditions and blood thinners, pregnant women (see above), decreased kidney function or increased liver stress.

Pharmaceutical excipients are substances other than the pharmacologically active drug or prodrug which are included in the manufacturing process or are contained in a finished pharmaceutical product dosage form. [Top]

There are treatments for rheumatoid arthritis, such as Enbrel and Remicade, that are injected or infused and do not cause GI bleeding, but they are very expensive and must be given under the supervision of an experienced rheumatologist. If you suspect arthritis, an internist or a rheumatologist (specialist in arthritis) should evaluate you so that a specific diagnosis as to the type of arthritis you have can be made, and the safest therapy for you can be prescribed. [March 2006]

Anti-oxidants act as cell protectors. They are substances that are capable of counteracting the damaging, but normal, effects of the physiological process of oxidation in tissues. Anti-oxidants counteract free radicals, and bind with them before they can cause damage.

With age, the joints stiffen and muscles get tight. The common bent over posture of old age occurs as a result of the body adapting to long term poor posture. As posture becomes more bent forward the muscles have to work harder to keep the body balanced, which makes the muscles progressively tighter. Massage stretches tight muscles, breaks up adhesions, and works out chronic muscular "knots" (or trigger points) so you feel young and move well.

Angiogenesis is the creation of new blood vessels; anti-angiogenesis refers to suppressing their formation. Many new anti-angiogenic molecules are currently being explored as potential treatments for wet macular degeneration. These include drugs that are injected into the jelly portion of the eye or into the space around the eye.

Taking Flora Balance and Ultimate Acidophilus Plus while taking anti-biotics can help prevent destruction of the normal flora in the digestive tract.

We recommend eliminating sugar and reducing simple carbohydrates, foods that feed candida. Some individuals are sensitive to yeast containing foods due to their immune system response to candida albicans, in this case it can be beneficial to reduce yeast containing or fermented foods, vinegar, cole slaw, beer, wine, cheese, pistachios etc. You can find several good books regarding candida diets in our bookstore.

Anti-Zionism is the conviction that Israel, of all the world's countries, does not have the right to exist. It is the conviction that the determination of what constitutes Israel's "secure and defensible borders" should not be made by the Israeli people, either directly or via representation.

We could bring agorists in a little with their counter-economics but I think that would alienate other ancaps a little.
