Prevention not Prescriptions

Every Tuesday is your opportunity...

Prevention NOT Prescriptions When we take better care of ourselves, we become less reliant on prescription drugs, period. And when we focus on staying well (rather than just fixing things once they're broken) we get to avoid the suppressed, inconvenient and sometimes deadly side effects that come when we pop a pill for every hangnail.

Tuesdays are your opportunity to say, “hell no” to the prescription drug industry and their endless search for profits. Tuesdays are your opportunity to help each of us take our health into our own hands.

As a former (but reformed!) legal drug pusher, I've launched Prevention Not Prescriptions to give a voice and a home base to everyone out there who knows there's a better way. (See video below.)

What is Prevention Not Prescriptions?

It's a simple blog carnival held every Tuesday specifically organized around the idea of 'Prevention Not Prescriptions'. It's information and inspiration. It's for the bloggers, doctors, journalists, moms, dads, teachers, alternative health practitioners and everyone else who has had it up to here! with the status quo of a society pushing and turning to prescription drugs as a quick fix for their bodies or their lives.

If it relates to healthier living, we want to hear it. Here are a few ideas of things you can post...

Advice/suggestions
Your personal anecdotes
Commentary on related headlines
Film/media reviews
The politics of pills and health (as it relates to prevention)
Fitness, stress, nutrition related information (and yes, even recipes)
Anything that might get others fired up to think twice before they pop that next Rx pill

We'd love to hear from and offer up a variety of voices and topics. There are no weekly themes. And participation is super easy...

Here’s how it works:

If you have a blog entry or article related to healthy living that you’d like to share, email us the link at anytime. If your post is from your archives, please repost it so it's a current entry on your site, or write a new entry directing people back to your archived post.

There’s only one hitch…you must include a link back here so that others can find out how to participate. If you don't provide a link back to this page, you will not be included.

We’ll compile all links that come in during the week into one blog entry that we’ll post on The Kathleen Show blog the following Tuesday.

Links must be received by 3 p.m. CT on Friday to be included in the following Tuesday’s post.

And don’t forget to join the conversation. Create a personal Typepad profile and leave a comment about your post once it’s up. You’ll be able to find your entry and create a profile directly at The Kathleen Show blog the Tuesday after you submit your link.

We'll also have a running archive below where you'll be able to find past week's posts.

Join us in spreading the good word about great health...
