Our exhaustive review of the available scientific literature (some 3,500 articles to date) has revealed no evidence whatsoever of negative drug interactions with any ingredients of BR+ Herbal Complex. Indeed, on the contrary, there is evidence that some of the ingredients actually enhance the mechanism of action of certain drugs. Nonetheless, absolutely anything is possible. That's why, if you are taking any perscription drug, we advise consulting with your physician or other health care professional prior to use of BR+ Herbal Complex. For the same reasons, the same cautionary note applies if yu have any history of severe allergic reactions.
 Notwithstanding the remarkable properties of BR+Herbal Complex, there simply is no such thing as a “good health magic bullet.” No single food, drug, herb, vitamin, mineral, or other supplement will address all things for all people all the time. Steer clear of anyone or any company suggesting otherwise. But the right basic nutrition, key supplements, moderate exercise, adequate rest, stress management, and, perhaps most important of all, finding genuine meaning in one’s day-to-day affairs, certainly improve the odds for a long, healthy, fruitful life. In his best-selling book, “Meaning and Medicine,” the eminent physician Larry Dossey, M.D., concluded that the life most at risk is the life with little or no meaning.
Minimize your intake of the prime “food” suspects in impaired health---sodium, MSG, white sugar, most artificial sweeteners, white flour, hydrogenated oils, chemicals, dyes, other additives, and processed foods. The more food is processed or combined with long lists of barely pronounceable substances, the worse it is for you. When you start really reading labels, you will be astonished at how many food items that are widely considered OK in fact contain many of these ingredients.
Avoid “empty” carbohydrates---cookies, pastries, white bread, jelly donuts and the like. Increase your consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and lean meat and fish. Almost every study ever conducted on the subject has found that maximizing one’s intake of these foods improves overall health.Eat less but more often. Eat moderately. If you still feel hungry after eating, just wait a few minutes. Your hunger pangs will likely go away.
Get at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week---to the point where you are breathing hard and have broken a sweat. And not by jogging to the fridge. You don’t have to join a health club to do this. As the famous “running doctor,” George Sheehan, M.D., once wrote, make your exercise time your play time, a time you really look forward to. If you consider jogging, weight rooms, stair masters, and aerobics classes to be latter day medieval torture techniques, find physical activities you enjoy. If you hate your exercise regimen, you won’t stick with it. If you love it, you will.
How’s your stress level? Do you typically feel there simply aren’t enough hours in the day? Is your job getting you down? Are some relationships getting you down? Do you over book your life? Some stress is beneficial, but too much stress has been implicated to one degree or another in practically every malady known to medical science. Indeed, some studies show that 90% of all health problems are related to stress. If a healthy diet, regular exercise, and 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night just aren’t doing it, consider bio-feedback, daily meditation, yoga, martial arts disciplines, or a new but very effective technique known as HeartMath®.
Lastly, and possibly most importantly, find work, relationships, and an overall lifestyle that provides genuine and positive meaning for YOU. Needless to say, this may not always be in accord with what others in your life are insisting you should be doing. It means what---in the deepest recesses of your being---YOU know you should be doing.
Regarding pharmaceuticals, the old “buyer beware” definitely applies. According to the New England Journal of Medicine and numerous other studies of the subject, every year in the U.S., pharmaceuticals are the direct proximate cause of about 125,000 deaths and about 2,000,000 hospital admissions. Among other things, this means that every 7½ days as many U.S. citizens are killed by adverse reactions to pharmaceuticals as were killed in the attack on the World Trade Center! And, every day as many U.S. citizens are hospitalized with adverse reactions to pharmaceuticals as are hospitalized every year from industrial accidents as reported to OSHA! As these irrefutable facts and recent headlines attest to, any assumption that FDA approved drugs are uniformly safe and effective is a flawed assumption at best.
