Natural Prescription Alternatives

It's so wonderful to see Dr. Oz bring attention to healthier alternatives to synthetic drugs. 


Dr. Oz reviews the cheapest natural alternatives to the most frequently prescribed medications. To help remedy acid reflux, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure and more without a prescription.  Why aren't these more commonly known? Because natural cures can't be patented, so big drug companies can't profit from it! This is a reason you need to do your own research on natural remedies, because your dr. will not always share these alternatives with you. 

Acid reflux - Apple Cider Vinegar (the best on the market I have found is Braggs natural ACV with mother) Do not drink this on it's own, dilute 1-2 tsp in a glass of water.

Hypothyroidism- L-Tyrosine - to get your thyroid to produce more hormone

Pain- California Poppy - a powerful pain killer...it's non-addictive and legal

High blood pressure- Green unroasted coffee been extract - helps open up blood vessels unlike roasted coffee. Take in capsule form...look out for specialty shops that are considering introducing beverages with it
