Death by Medicine
Research was done on the state of medical care in North America. The result of that research is a paper titled Death By Medicine" If you ever get tired of people boasting about the quality of medical care in North America then quote a few passages from this paper. It is an exquisite examination of a health care system that has gone very wrong despite the fact it gobbles up huge sums of money. It is a fairly long report so Ill include a few quotes to give you an idea of the contents of the report.
Comments by Life Extension, the host site of the report:
This fully referenced report shows the number of people having in-hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2 million per year.
The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251.5)
We placed this article on our website to memorialize the failure of the American medical system. By exposing these gruesome statistics in painstaking detail, we provide a basis for competent and compassionate medical professionals to recognize the inadequacies of todays system and at least attempt to institute meaningful reforms.
The next one that tells all there is to know about the money grubbing, lying, con artists that are behind this wonderful state of affairs:
Natural medicine is under siege, as pharmaceutical company lobbyists urge lawmakers to deprive Americans of the benefits of dietary supplements. Drug-company front groups have launched slanderous media campaigns to discredit the value of healthy lifestyles. The FDA continues to interfere with those who offer natural products that compete with prescription drugs.
Over two million people a year have adverse reactions to prescription drugs, yet the pharmaceutical representatives want to pass laws that will make dietary supplements illegal. It's time for people to wake up!
