Drug Muggers is your side effect solution. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs help millions of people with devastat-ing diseases and chronic conditions. But in the process, these medications can also deplete the body's natural stores of vitamins, minerals, and hormones—the very nutrients you need to keep energy levels high, fend off infections, and be healthy. Pharmacist Suzy Cohen calls these medications "drug muggers," and she says it's essential to replenish what a drug mugger steals from your body in order to feel your best and avoid side effects. Not understanding the drug-mugging effect may lead to new "diseases" and possibly catastrophic health con-sequences. You'll discover: • How to relieve uncomfortable or potentially serious side effects • How to remain compliant with your medication and still feel well • Which foods and drinks to avoid if you take certain medications • How to install a nutrient security system with vitamins, minerals, and food choices Plus! • Improve your energy levels • Learn which minerals you need if you take heartburn medicine • Improve digestion and relieve constipation with a simple nutrient • Discover the antioxidant you must have to save your heart • Get your hair and nails to grow faster by replenishing nutrients • Find out which vitamins and minerals are the purest and highest quality • Learn which vitamins outperform medications in some cases Drug Muggers is an eye-opener! It reveals why you may be feeling so poorly and how to improve your well-being with affordable nutrients that are sold over the counter. You can (and will) improve the way you feel—whether or not you take medicine! Review: I wouldn't be without it! - I am so grateful to have this book. It has helpful information as to what nutrients may need supplementation when we take certain drugs. Natural ways to restore what is missing are also mentioned. I especially appreciate the information as to what forms of a vitamin or mineral are most easily assimilated, as well as what not-so-useful forms are being used by some makers because they are cheaper. There is a very helpful list of Resources, Great supplements: Companies that put their best foot forward" on p. 327 of the paperback version (the one I bought); also a chapter on daily values, with explanations of some abbreviations and "Are megadoses the answer?" (No.) and "Why I pay no attention to the numbers." People anxious to avoid unnecessary or harmful added ingredients will be happy to read, toward the end of the book, about "flavoring, binders, humectants, lubricants, disintegrators, and preservatives." And did you know this? (p. 313 of paperback): "Supplement makers...often list an ingredient even if it appears in a negligible amount or if it's extracted from the wrong portion of a plant. For example, unworthy supplements may state 'gingko extract,' whereas a high-quality supplement is proud to disclose the dosage as '40 mg gingko extract (leaf) standardized to 24 percent heterosides." (OK, I admit that I don't know anything about heterosides, but you get the idea.) Here are just a few of the many, many things I didn't know until I read this book: (1) If you are supplementing zinc and copper, neurotransmitters in the brain that affect mood, they need to be taken in the proper ratio. "The ratio of copper to zinc is far more clinically valuable than the concentration of either one." Too much of one, and you end up with a relative deficiency of the other. Sometimes a deficiency of zinc arises due to the use of birth control pills that cause excessive copper, and then the resulting mood changes (for the worse) may end up being treated with psychoactive drugs, whereas the problem is actually being caused by an imbalance. (2) Re vitamin E: the lab-created form, dl-alphatocopherol, is cheaper to produce, but d- (not dl-) alphatocopherol is more biologically active. I had already read that somewhere else, but not this: Vitamin E is the name for a family of 8 molecules, so "the very best brands have all eight in their formulas." The author remarks that vitamins coming in the wrong form are a deal-breaker for her, and would be for me, too. And now, thanks to this book, I know which ones ARE deal-breakers. (3) CoQ10 suspended in rice bran oil or olive oil, rather than a dry powder in a capsule gets into the body's cells more easily and may be more bio-available. The better absorbed form of CoQ10 (i.e., ubiquinol) is sold under the brand name Kaneka QH. (4) The author considers it better to take beta-carotene vitamin A, unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor. Buy natural forms because synthetic ones do not offer antioxidant protection, and the author and some other experts actually consider synthetic versions of beta-carotene to be "downright dangerous." The list of things this book has taught me goes on and on. But speaking of lists, here are the titles of a few lists and charts in the book: "Grapefruit interaction chart" "Common drug muggers" (This chart is great, with headings such as "Types" (of drugs) / "Common Drugs" / "Install your security system" [what to take to counteract the depletion of nutrients in each case], and "...or these complications may result.") "Supplements to battle the drug muggers" (what supplement has what important nutrients, and what "drug muggers" it will fight) "Drug muggers of biotin (Vitamin B7)" "Drug muggers of calcium" "Drug muggers of CoQ10" "Drug muggers of glutathione" ("The liver uses glutathione to metabolize all the medications you take and remove them from the body once their purpose has been served." Without it, your couldn't clear drugs and toxins from your blood.) "Drug muggers of magnesium" And many more... I should let it be known here that I have no connection with the author or publisher of this book or any other reason to praise it, other than the fact that I have found it so impressive and useful. Review: The up to date Drug Detective Book. - It has been a big job and a big background of knowledge for writing this book with so many facts about so many drugs. I have over more than 30 years bought books concerning what foot, vitamins and minerals to eat, and have seen the changing of statesmen which still are continuing. But I must say that this is the most detailed bog concerning the vital vitamins and minerals to take. It's only a big problem that many good things she tells about I can't get here I Thailand, and then the law don't allow me as a private person to import this kind of things from other countries, even though I there can walk straight in from the street and buy it! As I wrote there in the book are many detail, and that for example concerning which foot not to eat while at the same time taking mentioned drugs, and besides telling how many hours before or after taking the drugs then first to take some drugs. And for some drugs informing us that they works best when taking early in the morning and for other first taking just before going to bead, and why. And also telling about the many different qualities of drugs and which to prefer and explaining why, that is of what they are made, how much contents we get, and how the chemical reaction are different, that is fast or not fast, easy or not so easy. And for example there are many sides concerning Grapefruit, which cached me, among other how it in up to 24 hours can disturb some drugs and result in bad results. Were interesting and for me much new knowledge. But then on side 33 - 34 I discovered even more important new information which I will write and inform a doctor about. Because 5 years ago I had some accidents when driving motorcycle, psychiatric problems resulting in some kind of Epileptic black outs. I before that only one time in 1975 had tried this kind of black out. But then 5 years ago a doctor here I Thailand prescribed me the anticonvulsant drug Depakene, and told me not to drink Beer, which I followed. Bud then again I had a black out and this time resulting in a bigger accident and following in now over soon 4 years having not being able in using my right arm and hand. And then in the book on side 34, after mentioning Beer it's written that eating Rise, Bananas, and other constipating foods, when taking this drug, can worsen the problem! But Rise and Bananas are what we out here each day are getting most of! And after this accident, and then no longer being able to drive a motorcycle, I stopped taking the Depakene and after that then newer again have had any feeling of something disturbing in my brain, like a starting epileptic attack, which I got many times when taking the Depakene! So it's clearly seen that in this book there is much important information! After the problem started 5 years ago I bought 10 books concerning Epilepsy, but not in any of these are mentioned other things than not to drink Beer! So if I in the future have to start on any kind of Drugs then I for sure will go searching in this book to se what I there can find about it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #151,857 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #42 in Pharmaceutical Drug Guides #59 in Vitamins & Supplements (Books) #73 in Pharmacies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 794 Reviews | ## Images ![Drug Muggers: Which Medications Are Robbing Your Body of Essential Nutrients--and Natural Waysto Restore Them - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OUJgnxzHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wouldn't be without it! *by D***F on July 14, 2016* I am so grateful to have this book.

I never thought about how prescription drugs work in the system or knew how most cause nutrient losses in our system. We go to the doctor because of this new symptom, and get another pill for it, when it could be that we are low in a certain nutrient. I've taken a stomach acid reducer for years, and often asked the doctor if it was healthy to be on one for so long. He answered there were no indications that it was not. Recently, I've seen commercials for the drug I took with the disclaimer that it may "cause calcium and magnesium deffiencies." Really? I've read this book cover to cover, and still go back to certain sections that apply to me because of prescriptions I take. I've learned a lot about nutrition and supplements. There are so many supplements out there, and quality is very important, and can be expensive. It is very confusing for a newby. I like the fact that the author lists foods that contain the nutrients, as well as supplement dosages and what to look for in a quality supplement if you feel you need the extra support. In my case I felt like I needed supplements because I had been on this med for over 10 years, and had some of the symptoms of nutrient loss. I've found alternatives for the acid reflux med. I know not everyone can or should do that, but so far it has worked for me. As the author suggests, I talked to my doctor and pharmacist about the changes before I made them in case I needed to taper off the drug gradually. The author does caution people to start low and slow if you decide to use supplements as each person is different and may have sensitivities that others do not have. In some cases, supplements work as well as a prescription drug, and you need to be monitored. She lists drug interactions, too, some of which I wasn't aware. That's why I say read thoroughly. I talked about this book so much with my friends that they are now reading it. They say they feel better informed about nutrition and meds, too. ## Frequently Bought Together - Drug Muggers: Which Medications Are Robbing Your Body of Essential Nutrients--and Natural Ways to Restore Them - Thyroid Healthy: Lose Weight, Look Beautiful and Live the Life You Imagine - The 24-Hour Pharmacist: Advice, Options, and Amazing Cures from America's Most Trusted Pharmacist --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1702325-drug-muggers-which-medications-are-robbing-your-body-of-essential](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1702325-drug-muggers-which-medications-are-robbing-your-body-of-essential) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
