Medicine Withdrawal
A major issue in medicine today is the over utilization and the interactions from the use of many medications applied at one time. In the 30 years of clinical practice, our staff has found that many patients take, not just excessive numbers of medication, but duplication of medications that are often causing the signs and symptoms for which they are in fact being treated!
At the Holistic Medical Clinic of the Carolinas, we evaluate every patient and the medications they take upon accepting a new patient. When possible, we slowly remove patients from duplicating or symptom causing medicines, always keeping in mind those that must be maintained. We continue to find that the less medication a patient takes, the more efficient the body functions.
Certain organs of the body, including the liver and kidneys, act as filtering systems for the toxins that we place into our body. These toxins can include the foods we eat, as well as the chemicals that we put into our body (medications and poisons). Often, we make recommendations including diet, detoxification, and improved nutrition that will improve these functions, while helping the patient obtain better health overall. The use of colonic irrigation, while reducing duplicating and unnecessary medications, often produces an improved state of health for the patient.
It should be important to note that, for any patient wishing to withdraw from medication, the patient must change the lifestyle conditions that have brought about the disease process, so that the medications can be removed. This will include improving diet, restricting known allergens such as food dyes, milk products, yeast, and other toxins. Over short periods of time, the signs and symptoms of the patient's disease(s) may slowly reduce, effectively reducing the need for unnecessary medications. When necessary and possible, natural forms of herbal and homeopathic treatments can often be substituted. While not always possible, the Holistic Medical Clinic of the Carolinas makes every attempt to use these more natural forms.
