Scourge
The
Medical Scandal That Kills 106,000 Americans A Year
If a jumbo jet crashed every day, you’d never set foot in a plane again, right?
Yet that’s how many Americans die every single day from legally prescribed prescription drugs!
According
to a recent study in the Journey Of The American Medical
Association, prescription drug reactions kill 106,000 Americans
per year. That makes them the fourth-leading cause of death, behind
heart disease, cancer, and stroke.
But that’s not all. In addition to the 106,000 people who died from prescription drugs, the study found 2.2 million more who suffered side effects so severe that they were permanently disabled or required long hospital stays!
Drug companies don’t want you to know about these dangers. That’s why they spend $12 billion a year on PR and marketing campaigns, telling you how safe and effective their drugs are.
Don’t fall for the drug company hype! There are dozens of alternatives to prescription drugs- Alternatives that work just as well but without the Side effects:
HEALTH
ALERT!
THE
MOST DANGEROUS BUSINESS
IN
AMERICA
The
most dangerous business in America is not the illegal drug business.
It is medicine. Today in the paper it was noted that a surgeon who
amputated the wrong leg and also inserted a chest tube into the wrong
patient will be allowed to resume his practice of medicine. The
reason is that Medical Boards state by state are too lenient about
bad doctors. The boards often spend most of their time hunting down
"quacks" or medical doctors who do not toe the line
regarding the medical mantra "drugs for everything and nothing
but drugs for anything."
Many families in America have had at least an "incident" involving a doctor, drug, or therapy gone bad to one extent or another. In 1994, there were 2,216,000 patients who suffered one or more serious adverse drug reactions in hospitals.’ Keep in mind that these statistics were back in 1994, were only those that were properly recorded, were only those from drugs that were properly prescribed and administered, and were only in hospitals!
These numbers are becoming so great that they are actually being covered up like some type of classified secret. And this in itself adds to the danger because most people are ignorant of the risks. Have you heard these numbers before? Wouldn’t you think this would make front page news? If even a handful of people were killed from some vitamin or herbal supplement, everyone around the globe would hear about it. Yet these medical numbers go unreported or covered up for the most part.
Worse
yet, when you add to these numbers the millions of disasters and
deaths at home and in nursing homes-from doctors who amputate the
wrong leg, from surgical disasters, and from the wrong drugs or drugs
which became wrong when combined with other drugs-you have the mine
field of medicine. This is one of the reasons why people turn to
alternatives, to the point where last year, more people visited
alternative docs than traditional medical doctors for the first time.
This
is beginning to feed into the hidden cause of some of the dangers in medicine-a
major sense of insecurity, frustration, fear, and disgruntlement
among medical doctors. I believe, as many others do, that the medical
monopoly is starting to crumble. And its downfall will not come from
docs like me, it will come from within, from mainstream physicians
who are switching to alternative means in order to preserve their own
financial way of life.
Just how dedicated is the everyday standard physician to drugs, surgery, and the stamping out of quacks? Not as dedicated as he is to his kids’ college education or his new car. Medical docs are switching over to alternatives by the droves. And as their salaries are being cut by managed care, you are seeing more and more of this exodus daily. The esteemed TV Dr. Art Eulene is even hawking vitamins on television commercials these days. This after years of lambasting alternative docs and their vitamins as charlatans and quackery.
What
Does this Mean to You?
Well, this means many things. First of all, the dangers may be greater than ever. Keep in mind that today, properly prescribed drugs and medicines are the fourth leading cause of death in America, right after. heart disease, cancer, and strokes. We have the American Heart and Cancer Associations. Perhaps we need to raise tens of millions of dollars to form the American Anti-Medicine Association. That, of course, wouldn’t work because most of the drug deaths are caused by medicines espoused by the Heart and Cancer Associations.
But
seriously, what happens in any workplace when workers become
disgruntled? The work falters and the results suffer. When it comes
to medicine you are the result. So take heed. Things may get worse.
This is indeed the time when you need to start thinking about
becoming drug-free. Remarkably this is more feasible than you can
imagine. Keep on your alternative course using the wonders that
nature provides us. Keep after your doctor to wean you off medicine
that is no longer needed. Both you and he or she will be surprised.
Tread with caution. Always get second and third opinions. Learn as
much as you can (this is where I come in). And start thinking in
terms of reversing the medical mantra and reserve drugs and surgery
as treatments of last resort.
It’s time to take the crumbling of the most dangerous business in America and turn it into a positive thing. Turn rightful fear and trepidation into a step in the right direction. Millions of Americans are awakening to a new way to health, witnessed by the numbers of visits to alternative docs. Everything develops and falls for a reason. Use this renaissance to your own benefit. I will help you every step of the way. In so doing, you just might be saving your life.
