Medications: Take Less Be Better

Did you know that to deliver any medication to your body, 50% loss is factored into the equation, and that some side effects are about those drugs being where they don’t need to be. Taking any medicine via the stomach, swallowing a pill or liquid means it has to travel the long way to it’s destination. This has a few effects, you need more in your body and you have to wait for results.

Some products come with the advisory that you take them under the tongue, what is the difference and why should you think about this method for other drugs? Firstly under the tongue applications work faster, the delivery to your system is virtually instant as it enters straight into your blood stream (where it is trying to get anyway) for distribution. It is a mistake to think any drug or potion is targeted to a specific area like an arrow going where it is needed. it will always affect the whole body, but relieve the area in question.

But wait there’s more, when the product doesn’t have to battle or trick it’s way into your system its efficacy is increased on average by 50% and sometimes more.(speak to your doctor about the meds you are taking before making any changes). If you have an ongoing need for something you can reduce the risk of serious effects by taking less, while still resolving your issue, pain. or managing your illness. A good time to go WOW. Add to that you can apply the same waste principal to health supplements, I am not a fan over the long term but hey most people need some help at least for a short time, a few drops of b or popping half a tab under your tongue will do wonders where swallowing the whole bottle may, in fact, have less result. This very speeding addition to the bloodstream injecting Bs became popular and incredibly expensive. The good news is you really don’t even need to go that far.

Why make something so simple, difficult. Are we so wimpy that we can’t cope with a few moments of distaste while we swallow copious quantities of pain killing medications, or even homeopathic remedies? I don’t think that is entirely the case but it is part of it, back in the day colloidal silver was taken under the tongue in small quantities using an eye dropper, as were the tiny arnica balls. Now you get told to swallow a spoonfuls of colloidal silver and whopper arnica tabs, I can’t help thinking that is more about the money than your health, but do have to admit yukky tasting medicines may also mean we are a bit more whoosey. A word to the wise. both those mentioned are tasteless. I for one would rather have less of something I need in my system, if dropping some foul tasting concoction under my tongue gets the job done quickly and without negative effect, I am all for that. I do need to also add we tend to have an eye bigger than the belly syndrome going on, we will spend more on an item in a large box than we will on something compactly packaged, this says more about our psyche than it does value for money, don’t think for one minute that advertisers haven’t got you figured out, you answer polls, surveys and fill in feedback forms every day, they know exactly how to maximize their profits at your expense.

For those that need it and because I am that chick, a bit more of the sci :

When you swallow a pill/medicine, it must go through your entire gastrointestinal tract. This means the stomach (with acid and bile), the intestines (where most absorption takes place) and then off to the liver, for some more filtering. And THEN it’s delivered to where it’s needed. The digestive tract is incredible harsh. And it’s meant to be — it’s how food is broken down, and the nutrients get stripped out, while the waste goes … well, you know, this process. Without question, will weaken most medications. When that same medicine is placed under your tongue, it diffuses through the mucous membranes beneath your tongue because of the plethora of capillaries there, the medicine has a fairly direct route into your bloodstream. This results in the medicine working faster, and oftentimes, better.
