At Dr. Mercola’s web site this morning is an article titled: Recreational Drugs FAR Less Likely to Kill You than Prescribed Drugs! By Christopher Kent, D.C., J.D. If you’re smart, you’ll take five minutes out of your day and read this extremely informative piece that will help you understand that the drug companies and the FDA, along with many in the medical industry (read: BIG BUSINESS) are not our friends. Just as important is the commentary towards the end of Dr. Kent’s article by Dr. Mercola who, as usual tells it like it is without pulling any punches.
Here is a sample from Dr. Kent’s article:
According to another AMA publication, drug related “problems” kill as many as 198,815 people, put 8.8 million in hospitals, and account for up to 28% of hospital admissions. [5] If these figures are accurate, only cancer and heart disease kill more patients than drugs. Has the situation improved since the publication of this information? Hardly. Null [6] et al have published the most comprehensive and well-documented study I have seen of deaths associated with medical practice. In this report, their research revealed some shocking facts. The findings are summarized in the abstract:
“A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good. The number of people having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed medicine is 2.2 million. Dr. Richard Besser, of the CDC, in 1995, said the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections was 20 million. Dr. Besser, in 2003, now refers to tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics.
All references are properly noted in the original article.
