A Message from Kathleen:

Dear Friends,

This concludes just two weeks of posts about the dangers of memory loss from over-the-counter and common prescription drugs.

Please take a few minutes this week and go through your medicine cabinet and get rid of the OTC meds that are harming your brain.

Prescription drugs are more complicated, so make an appointment with your doctor and insist on healthier alternatives. As recommended in this piece, there are natural alternatives that may help.

And PLEASE never stop taking a prescription med without consulting with your doctor.

Be well,

Kathleen
