Prescription Painkillers
kill more than Heroin & Cocaine combined
says U.S. Center for Disease Control

Picture
·         Nearly 15,000 people die every year of overdoses involving prescription painkillers.

·         In 2010, 1 in 20 people in the US (age 12 or older) reported using prescription painkillers for nonmedical reasons in the past year.

·         Enough prescription painkillers were prescribed in 2010 to medicate every American adult around-the-clock for a month.

Deaths from prescription painkillers* have reached epidemic levels in the past decade according to the CDC. The number of overdose deaths is now greater than those of deaths from heroin and cocaine combined. A big part of the problem is nonmedical use of prescription painkillers. Although most of these pills were prescribed for a medical purpose, many ended up in the hands of people who misused or abused them.

Wouldn't it make more sense to try a non-invasive, natural method of pain relief?  The Biomat makes a good alternative to prescription medications.

* "Prescription painkillers" refers to opioid or narcotic pain relievers, including drugs such as Vicodin (hydrocodone), OxyContin (oxycodone), Opana (oxymorphone), and methadone.

The Importance of a Fever

There are several causes of fever, but it is most commonly associated with dozens of different viruses, bacteria and parasites that cause upper respiratory infections, pneumonia, diarrhea, and urinary tract infections.
  Contrary to the reflex need to give an aspirin to make a fever stop... 

an elevated temperature can be an expression of the immune system working at its best. 

  The number of white blood cells is increased and cascades of molecules to flood the blood stream, in rapid pursuit of the host’s invaders. Fever impairs the ability of bacteria and viruses to replicate, creating an inhospitable environment for the invading organisms. 

  By turning up the heat, invading microbes cannot replicate and by definition, die off. Fever results in winning the war against a wayward microbe.
