HEALTH HAZARD ALERT

DIPYRONE a.k.a. OPTALGIN etc. & STEROID drugs.MEDICAL ALERT # 1
The standard medicine drug generically called DIPYRONE, marketed also under the names “OPTALGIN, NARONE, PYRALGIN, MEXICAN ASPIRIN, DIMETHONE, PROTEMP, & NOVALDIN” in various places, and doubtless more names in various countries, has been outlawed for use for humans in the United States for the past 22 (twenty-two) years. Its use for food animals soon followed suit, as it was discovered that it infiltrated into the meat and the milk of the animals, thereby affecting people who ate the meat or drank the milk. In several European countries it is outlawed as well, or sold under very restricted and controlled conditions.
WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT THIS DRUG THAT SO SUCCESSFULLY RELIEVES PAIN?
The known side effects that have hit a significant percentage of users include, SEVERE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS, ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK, AGRANULOCYTOSIS, among others.
ALL THREE can and have killed effected patients. The is meaning of the first term is pretty obvious to all, the second in laymen’s terms means that the heart and breathing functions grind to a halt and stop, this can even be within 10 to 15 minutes. The third term means that the bone marrow stops working right and stops manufacturing white cells, THE important cells for fighting off disease etc.. The result is generally death within 1 to 4 days, with LITTLE CHANCE of saving him or her. Note: asthmatic patients are especially susceptible to respiratory reaction and the manufacturers usually warn against use BUT doctors very often ignore the warnings. An asthmatic neighbor of ours had a severe attack of respiratory distress necessitating a fast trip to I.C.U. of nearest hospital after taking just one tablet of a dipyrone painkiller.
In addition to the several people who have died from it, or have underwent very serious near-death experiences, many many more have suffered otopharyngial infections with pain and high fevers as a direct result of the use of this drug.
This drug is known to pass into bone marrow, meat and milk of animals or people using it. Therefore, it is suspected that, the increase of ear and/or throat inflammations amongst children in countries where this drug is still used is probably due to use of dipyrone products by the mother.
** When you are given a prescription for a painkiller, check what it contains so that only the pain is killed and not you. ** Expecting or Nursing Mothers also remember this drug DOES pass through the placental barrier, and into your milk. Have Mercy on your baby.
Yes there are some “senior expert” doctors who tend to belittle the seriousness of the hazards. They are surely included in the group of whom that late sage physician Doctor Rabbi Moses Maimonedes stated, “The best of the doctors are destined for purgatory”.
MEDICAL ALERT # 2
More reports have been coming out as to the absolute fact that STEROID medications do cause osteoporosis. Within six months of starting use of any one of this family of drugs, the damage can start. This damage, also called softening of the bones, hits even young patients, leaving their bones already in a poor state before reaching the years when such problems normally begin. It is hazardous, and irreversible. Therefore, think twice before taking these drugs. They are commonly used in asthma, skin disorders, allergies etc.
MEDICAL ALERT # 3
BEWARE OF the flood of new, and not so new frauds and over taunted methods and gadgets in alternative medicine. Anything that sounds TOO GOOD to be true probably is just that. The "EASY make no effort" methods rank in that category as well. They all have tons of supposedly approvals and testimonials, most of their cures are psychosomatic cure of psychosomatic illness. E.g. magnetic cups or insoles, bioenergetic insoles, giant garlic, pine-sap, or pomegranate drops (good for some things but claims are grossly exaggerated and can have effects dangerously opposite of what is desired). Also potions using mixtures of herbs or supposed homeopathic remedies, must be considered potentially dangerous, especially if not done as a personal prescription by a veteran practitioner. In over 97% of the cases ONLY a single herb or substance remedy should be taken. The main generally "ok" exceptions being, the "propolis-echinecea", and "oligo-elements" combos.
