Prescription Meds May Have Caused Death, Heath Ledger Autopsy Inconclusive

The autopsy on actor Heath Ledger was not conclusive and has revealed apparently no foul play and no illicit drug use.
What was found near the body was a combination of over-the-counter and prescription medications. Apparently the prescription sleeping pills Ambien and anti-anxiety drugs were being used by the actor prior to his death.
These details would lead to the conclusion that he died from taking FDA approved medications. He will now join over 100,000 other in America that die each year from the use of approved pharmaceutical drugs and medications according to the American Medical Association.
This is an example of the ‘drugging of America’ that has been steadily increasing since big pharmaceutical drug companies started advertising on television and prescriptions for medications have followed en mass.
It’s a shame so many opt to ‘pop a pill’ rather than seek natural and alternative methods of healing. Americans are seeking fast and easy solutions to weight loss, sleeping problems, anxiety, ADHD, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and many more. All medications are chemicals and have side effects. Whenever you take a drug you are risking side effects, some more than others.
Drugs only treat the symptoms. It’s important to resolve the core problem, not only mask the symptoms. The problem will most likely continue or the side effects may be worse than the original condition, and sometimes ends in death as we find in the case here.
With the widespread success of natural cures, it’s a wonder why more don’t seek to resolve their health problems that way. There are no side effects to foods, superfoods and medicinal plants and using them are how natured intended us to heal ourselves.
Over 100,000 deaths, including Heath Ledger’s, could potentially be saved each year by choosing to avoid chemical, toxic drugs and prescription medications, especially for non-life threatening or urgent situations when they can be life-saving. There are now proven natural methods for healing most every affliction including heart disease, acne, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, the effects of stress, cancer, smoking, anxiety, insomnia and more.
And furthermore, making simple changes in your lifestyle and eating habits can help avoid the health problems you would normally (in today’s world) ask for a prescription.
The loss of one life is too high a price to pay. Consider natural therapies over the FDA approved chemicals and help save not only your life, but also those of your loved ones.
To your best health!
