The Real Understanding of Side-effects, and should you be concerned. Side-effects are the secondary, and to some extent unavoidable, outcome of every action or treatment undertaken. Everything we interact with has some secondary effect or spin-off because changes always occurs at multiple levels and not just superficially.
Many medical drugs are very valuable for the patient.
But they are often also synthetic substances, which may suppress symptoms, rather than acting at the fundamental causative levels of the problem. Nor do they always reach the underlying difficulties or imbalances that are causing symptoms in the first place. To often chemical remedies fail to touch the core of a problem which may be genetic or lies deep within the personality. They may kill some of the superficial secondary bacteria, but these may also include the healthy flora of the intestines. Many drugs treat only the symptoms, failing to act on the real causes, and they provoke a state of imbalance which may cause you chronic difficulties.
