Comment on Thyroid Medication Not Working? These Drugs Can Cause Interactions… by Annie Swain

Thank you. I am on Levothyroxine and I was on Statins but my doctor took me off that because I became allergic to it and can’t take any of it. Then my Levo had to be adjusted way, way down. No one told me why. Thank you for telling me what my doctor didn’t.

Comment on Boniva vs. Fosamax vs. Actonel: Which is Better? by Candace Lindeman

Candace Lindeman — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 17:12:57 +0000

I began taking Boniva about 16 months ago for osteopena. I have just been diagnosed with a stress fracture of the hip. My ortho doctor does not want me to take the medication because he says stress fractures are a side effect of the medication. I believe what he said was “bifosphate” can increase the possibility of such fractures. I am having major surgery which includes placement of a titanium rod in the marrow of my entire femur. What medication can I take that does not have this side effect? I would like to have the information when I see him again so we can discuss my options. Help please!

Comment on The Average Cost of Prescription Drugs Without Insurance by Don

Generally speaking what is the difference between the retail price of a prescription drug and the insurance company negotiated price? Is there a common % markdown? This comes into play if one selects an HSA plan and has to pay the negotiated price with out of pocket dollars up until the deductible is met. In choosing between a normal health plan and an HSA, this info is rather important if you take prescriptions on a regular basis. The funny thing is no one will reveal what the negotiated price is until after you sign up for the plan. Thanks.

Comment on Moses and the Origin of the Medicine Symbol by Rob Gart

Rob Gart — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 14:55:59 +0000

Unfortunately although as a believer I want this to be a fact – it is not. All of the histories of this symbol actually say it is from Greek mythology. The single snake on a staff being from the healing god Asclepius’ staff and the double snake with wings being from the staff of Hermes. The single snake being the dominant symbol. This was actually pointed out to me by one of my bible students(!) which I confirmed. I still believe there is a very good chance that the development of the myth originated with the true account in Numbers 21:8-9.The account in Numbers being written long before any such god came into existence in the mythologies. Note: and referred to as a type of looking to Him in faith by our Lord (John 3:14).
