Unpleasant, uncomfortable, and unexplained side effects? 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!

I expected to love this book - it is exactly the type of information that I and other people need. Unfortunately, I didn't. The book has a lot of good information - I especially like the information on drug and food interaction and how to pick a good supplement. But I think that it has some key flaws - it doesn't clearly answer some key questions that readers would have:
1. what nutrients are mugged by the drugs they are taking - I can imagine a table with the drug name and the nutrients mugged. There is a quick glance table but not a complete one.
2. If I go shop for supplements, exactly what bioavailability ingredients should I look for. That would be helpful when shopping.
3. If a drug that I'm taking is not on the list, does that mean that it doesn't mug any nutrients or that it just wasn't listed. I couldn't find that information in the book.
4. If I have certain symptoms, which drugs might I take a look at. Maybe this would be redundant but it might be nice to have a quick glance table.

Much of the book is centered around the idea of "if you are short on X, then do such and such". That is great if you know what you are deficient it. Short of testing, who does?

For question 1, the author provides a 4 page table. Four pages out of 370 pages doesn't seem the correct ratio. And many drugs weren't on the list. For example, anti-seizure medication. Some of these other drugs are mentioned in the per-nutrient pages but that means I have to scan the entire book looking for nutrients mugged by the drugs that I consume.
