My husband's grandmother had the same issue about a year ago. She was on so many medications that she became anxious and had no short-term memory at all. Taking medications also creates an acidic condidition in your blood, which causes inflammation...the precursor to disease. Acidic blood leaches minerals from your bones, which can lead to osteoporosis -- a condition we need to be careful about with eating disorders. It's great that you were so aware of what was happening in your own body and made the necessary changes! While drugs can be life-saving, long-term use can create many problems. We forget sometimes that we are in charge of our health -- I think we learn early to hope for a magic cure, often in the form of a magic pill. While it's a wonderful dream, it tends to take away our power to create the lives we want. With love, Heather Hi Karen, isn’t it amazing what you find out after you try things?
