Think twice before taking any drugs because of their side
effects. Drugs will never get to the
cause of your health issue. As a
naturopathic doctor I can help you get off your medication and help you identify
the cause of your health issue. Many
drugs deplete our bodies of very important nutrients that we need for optimal
health. Below you will find a list of
the many drugs that are linked to dementia.
The drugs below deplete COQ10 which causes more free radical
damage to your brain resulting in less energy to the brain and a great susceptibility
to neurological diseases. Thus if you
are taking any of the drugs below you should be taking COQ10 in a ubiquinol
form 200 mg/day.
Antidepressants: Amitriptyline, desipramine, Doxepin,
Imipramine, Nortriptyline, Protriptyline
Antipsychotic drugs Haldol
Cholesterol lowering Drugs Lipitor, Lescol, Mevacor,
Pravachol, Zocor
Antidiabetic Drugs: Glucotrol, Diabeta, Glynase, Micronase,
Tolinase
Drugs that deplete B vitamins thus elevating homocysteine
levels can increase our risk for mood disorders, poor mental performance and
Alzheimer’s disease. Anyone with
dementia should get their methylations (MTHFR) levels checked. Not all B vitamins are absorbable. I recommend only the methylated forms.

I do not recommend getting off any drugs without a doctor's guidance. If you feel that you or a loved one is having any memory issues it is best to get to the cause early. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Wiancek at 970-926-7606.
