About Healthy Morning
By Deborah Edson, Pharmacist
Founder of Healthy Morning
About ten years ago I began a journey that led me modify my views on traditional drug therapies, the primary treatment method of allopathic medicine. I became a proponent of complementary medicine. While not abandoning the allopathic approach, I grew to view nutritional and natural medicine as the optimum routes to attaining and preserving good health.
As a retail pharmacist, I saw people becoming sicker and sicker with chronic illnesses, often treated with multiple drugs. Yet drug therapy is not alway the answer. In a person whose health/ nutrition status are challenged, multiple drug therapy may make matters worse. Drugs must be detoxified by the body, a process that depletes the body of nutrients.
I am a member of the American Pharmacists Association, the Association of Natural Medicine Pharmacists, and the American Nutraceutical Association. Recently, I completed a curriculum on Herbs and Dietary Supplements for health care professionals developed by the National Institute of Medicine (NIH) and Wake Forest Univerity. I am certified as proficient in the Dietery Supplement Health and Education Act, DSHEA by the American Nutraceutical Association. I am a writer for the magazine Living.Well and contributed to the book "Prescription For Nutritional Healing", 4th Edition, released in 2006 by Avery Publishing.
In keeping with the “old-fashioned corner drug store model,” I encourage consumers to maintain an open dialog with their physicians in their consideration of natural therapies. After implementing a natural medicine program or lifestyle change, dosage requirements of prescription drugs may decrease, so it is critical that you maintain contact with your physician.
