Long-Term Use Of Benadryl, Many Over-The-Counter Cold Medications Linked To Dementia

Benadryl, and many over-the-counter cold medications have been used for decades.  Now we learn the end result may result in Dementia.  Article Here

I would suggest to not get sick in the first place, but we all get run down or catch a bug every once in a while.  If possible try alternative remedies. You may even try to battle your could and flu symptoms with tea, extra rest time, more sleep, chicken soup and/or herbal tonics. 

Regardless, if you can not cope with the symptoms by drug-less means, please consult with your medical physician for other options.

Best of natural health, always.  Dr. Press

This reoccurring tragic story is not right and it is happening too often.  As a country we need to admit the problem is real, admit that it is getting worst and not getting better.

Our heroes need more then just pain pills.  One VA medical facility was nicknamed the Candy Store, because of how easy it was to get  opiates and other pain medicines.

Increasing the utilization of all available non-opiate treatments needs to be apart of the answer to the drug over dose epidemic in our armed forces.  Let's get started!  Dr. Press
