Remember most medications causes your organs to clog up and give out over the years. That's why so many black people have kidney disease. So everyone should slowly take themselves off ALL medications (prescribed or over the counter). The goal is to take natural supplements from Health Food Stores.

Cathy Harris, Health Consultantwww.CathyHarrisSpea ks.com www.nationalblackag endaonline. com------------ -- Forwarded Message: ------------ ----- On Wed, 12/10/08Hello, everyone this came from a friend... Many of us REFUSE to take OTC medications, and this story and the list of meds prove that is a good idea not to do so. Share with friends and family.Subject: Phenylpropanolamine - THIS IS SERIOUS - please read !!I received this information from a friend whose mother recently passed away. Apparently, this was caused by a medication that is deadly. Here are the details, and I suggest you pass it on to your loved ones and others.Subject: Phenylpropanolamine (PPA)'I would like to thank those of you who expressed condolences on the recent passing of my mother. She suffered a hemorrhagic stroke while she was driving home from my house on July 30th and passed away on August 3rd. My mother's stroke and passing was an enormous shock to my family, because she did not have any symptoms or risk factors for a stroke. Just the week before she had gone to her doctor for a check up and received a clean bill of health.She did, however, develop a cold while she was visiting me and had taken Alka Seltzer Cold Plus for 3 days. Since her passing, we have learned that Alka Seltzer is one of the many cold medicines that contains Phenylpropanolamine (PPA), which can cause hemorrhagic stokes or cerebral bleeding, even with the first use. I am forwarding a list of other medications that currently use PPA.. These medicines are supposedly being recalled but my mother just purchased this medication less than two weeks ago. Pharmaceutical companies have known about this danger for years, we unfortunately, did not.I urge you to review the list of medicines with PPA and avoid these medications. All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are dangerous. You may want to try calling the 800 number listed on most drug boxes and inquire about a REFUND. Please read this CAREFULLY. Also, please pass this on to everyone you know. STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient.It has been linked to increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in brain) among women ages 18-49 in the three days after starting use of the medication. Problems were not found in men, but the FDA recommended that everyone (even children) seek alternative medicine.'The following medications contain Phenylpropanolamine :-1.
