Why Consult A Doctor Before Ordering?
You should be aware that the Food and Drug Administration has recorded more than 2,500 reports of side effects and 79 deaths associated with dietary supplements.
You should be aware that the Food and Drug Administration has recorded more than 2,500 reports of side effects and 79 deaths associated with dietary supplements. Based on the results of several studies, 40% of patients revealed that they still don’t tell their doctors about their use of alternative therapies. And because they did not consult with a doctor beforehand, some individuals have experienced bizarre reactions to natural products, which made their diagnosis extremely difficult, more difficult than it had to be.
Although millions of Americans continue to take dietary supplements, accounting for $3.2 billion dollars in herb sales last year, many of these individuals don’t consider consulting with their doctors about their nutritional or herbal intake. Why? Either because they don't realize that herbs contain chemicals that might react with other things like anesthesia or various drugs given before or after surgery or because they don't want their doctor to know that they are hedging their bets by using alternatives that don’t have the side effects associated with pharmaceutical drugs. There are many herbs with therapeutic potential, but you need to be smart with how you use them. The fact is that no treatment is without risk. Most of us don’t realize that herbs or supplements have pharmacological properties, have been used in conventional drugs for years, and are being used by millions of self-medicators today.
In an issue of JAMA (vol 286 no 2) there is an article warning patients about to have surgery of the dangers of taking herbs before surgery. This is interesting, as many people take herbs as an alternative to surgery. They think herbs like ginkgo biloba and ginseng can prevent diseases, which might require surgery otherwise. The main danger is that the herbs might lead to excessive bleeding. While the authors of this article are not campaigning to eliminate herbs from the diets of millions of Americans, they are simply encouraging patients to inform their doctors of any herbs they might be taking. While some herbs or nutritional supplements may enhance some individuals, you should be aware that there is no such thing as one size or one supplement that will fit everyone.
For purposes of the law, herbs are called "dietary supplements" and are not subject to the same kind of scientific scrutiny as prescription or non-prescription drugs. So, perhaps herb users think of their herbs as "alternative vitamins and minerals." By virtue of the fact that our products are generally safer because they are natural and have undergone every kind of extensive clinical trials and studies before being released into the marketplace, we are also aware and want to inform people that herbs are still drugs.
What can you do to ensure your health? First, always check the product label. Although supplements are largely unregulated, the U.S. Pharmacopeia has developed standards for some, and a “USP” should be noted on the label. You can also check The American Botanical Council’s “HerbalGram”. In all cases, before taking any supplement, you should consult with a doctor, who is knowledgeable about possible drug-supplement interactions. Always seek medical diagnosis and known effective treatments for an underlying condition, before self-medicating yourself in any way. It is your responsibility to be totally honest about your medical history and disclose a comprehensive list of all the drugs and herbs you are taking.
Of course, consulting with one of our Board-certified physicians is certainly most convenient, as you won’t have to spend time away from your home or office. You can also be assured of greater privacy and won’t be subjected to any kind of embarrassment when considering any of our popular products. Our online doctors are thoroughly educated and familiar with our product ingredients as well as all of the potential risks involved and are there to partner with you in helping you make this medical decision.
However, our company’s position on Online Medical Consultations is and will always be that it still never takes the place of a comprehensive physical exam at the doctor’s office. Given all its advantages, the Internet can never be a substitute for the importance of having a physical exam with your doctor to fully evaluate all the possible causes for your problem. Remember, your life or the life of those you love may depend on it.
