I was surprised to hear about the death of Glenn Fry, leader of the musical group The Eagles, at almost 68. I know that seems old to those of you around 40 and younger, but it truly is young. Look at Betty White...going strong at 94 and Cloris Leachman is close behind at 90! What killed him...cancer, heart attack, drug overdose? No.
Glenn died from pneumonia. What's even worse is that the pneumonia was the direct result of side effects to the pulmonary system caused by Humira. This is not something I'm making up; it was the stated official cause of death (including the direct connection to the medication). Glenn had RA or rheumatoid arthritis, one of the many, many autoimmune dysfunctions plaguing us in ever-increasing numbers. Look up the possible side effects of long-term Humira usage or that of other autoimmune drugs...death is one of them.
It makes me so very, very sad to see how popular this drug is and how devastating it's side effects can be. What other choice did he and millions of people have other than drugs for autoimmune dysfunction? Instead of taking the, "let's-destroy-that-pesky-immune-system-with-drugs" approach, I recommend the, "let's nutritionally support and balance the immune system" approach. This doesn't connect any claims of "curing, treating or diagnosing" to the dysfunction, but rather to complexly balance the body, nutritionally.
It's always a good choice to try the non-lethal approach, first, don't you think?
