Drugs do More Harm Than We Know

When a person takes drugs or alcohol it will burn up vitamins in the body, particularly B complex vitamins, which are essential to the central nervous system as well as many other parts of the body.

Alcohol is definitely a drug. Like any other drug if you take it in too large of volume it is poisonous and can kill you. Short of that, there will be lesser degrees of reaction to the poison. Like other drugs, alcohol uses up vitamins in your body and as a result you can feel tired or sick after drinking more than you should. That is what is called a hangover. If you burn up too many vitamins your body will start to shake and you’ll get sweats. You can start to worry and begin to see things that are not there, this is called DTs, or delirium tremens.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

The body needs vitamins to stay alive. If you don’t eat a healthy diet you are probably not getting the vitamins you need. Most people who are taking drugs or alcohol to excess usually are not careful to eat properly. This weakens your immune system. Not having proper nutrition will make you feel tired and you are likely to get sick much easier. Then when you do get sick it also takes that much longer to get well.

With just small routine amounts of toxins that a person runs into in everyday life the liver will help filter them out of the body. But, when the body is inundated with drugs, including alcohol, the liver goes into overload and it can’t process them out and it weaken the body overall. In general, not a pretty picture.

So, if a person is taking drugs, legal or illegal, to make himself feel better it’s not going to work. Each time the body burns up more vitamins and the situation escalates. Not only is it not making you feel better it is making you feel worse as soon as the drug wears off and it becomes a rapidly dwindling spiral. Watch the water speed up when you flush the toilet. It’s the perfect analogy.

Make no mistake, the body does not differentiate whether the drugs are illehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifgal or legal. The reaction is the same. It burns up vitamins and weakens it in many ways, thereby making it susceptible to disease and any illness you want to name. That’s what occurs to the body, you can refer to many of my previous articles (and many future ones) on the blog to get information about what it does to the mind.
