Drugs can be a disaster!
Do you know that in the USA over 106,000 people die per year from pharmaceutical drugs that are correctly prescribed and taken? This is a conservative number by the way (if all reporting was done correctly it is estimated that this number would be much, much higher) and these are not the cases where there is any error on the part of the doctor, the pharmacist or the patient. If we were to add all the errors made the figure is estimated at a conservative 750,000 people dying each and every year in the USA alone from medical error and iatrogenic (doctor or medicine induced) illness.
There are more deaths per year in the US from modern medicine, than deaths accumulated from all countries, in all the world wars put together! That my friends is a disgusting toll that is being ignored and excused and hidden from the general public with propaganda, fear mongering and huge amounts of money.
This does not only happen in the USA. Here in Australia, in the UK, in NZ and and all western countries ‘lucky’ enough to have a wizz bang medical system, the figures are comparable based on population.
Today we have the madness that allows drugs such as Vioxx to be sold and marketed without adequate safety testing, that go on to kill and maim thousands of people, before being removed from the market (only when it becomes so obvious that they can’t deny it anymore) with some media attention and a few court cases that drag on for years. The companies producing these drugs make huge profits in the mean time, end up paying out some compensation to the families of those who have been killed or to those who have been injured and then are allowed to continue on with their business as usual, even when there is evidence to show that they have knowingly marketed dangerous products!
These problems are increasing as time goes on with huge pharmaceutical companies, driven by profits and with no concern for their customers wellbeing. These companies are not interested in what heals, they are interested in being able to create a new patented product that they can market to doctors and the public as the next best thing, with no regard for safety or efficacy. These companies have massive marketing budgets and a massive ability to influence those that they need to.
Don’t get me wrong. Modern medicine does a great job when it comes to emergency medicine. If one has an accident and needs to be fixed they excel in that area!
However, when it comes to disease, the focus is on naming a group of symptoms (even tho almost all of our ‘diseases’ and symptoms are mostly caused by of the same lifestyle factors). Give it a name (that means nothing) so the patient feels special and can tell people what it is they have, and then prescribe some medicine that hopefully will remove the symptoms but does nothing to address the cause.
These medicines then cause more symptoms (side effects), that require more drugs and create an ever downward spiral, gradually undermining health until death is imminent!
That is of course if you’re lucky! You might get to live for many years on the gradually increasing medication and make a slow demise. For some it is not so slow tho!
The problem with this whole one pill fits all scenario, is that not all people react the same way to these toxins in a bottle. Some people will take a drug that another person can take with little or no ill effect and it will have a rapid and unexpected effect on them – sometimes lethal!
The whole pharmaceutical medicine model ignores that fact that our bodies are designed to work with particular substances, provided to us by nature. Given the right ingredients, our bodies can get over come most things and will do a wonderful job of keeping us well. Our immune systems are designed to combat bacteria, and viruses and will do so naturally if we look after them. To put unnatural, chemical drugs into our bodies does nothing to create health! All it does it to create additional strain on our organs, and poison our bodies hence the ‘side effects’.
We have a massive and widely reported problem with antibiotics now. These drugs were created to save lives and they did a very good job in the field of emergency medicine and still do. However, they are being massivley over prescibed and are also being used in food production (which is disgusting, dangerous and unnessecary) causing problems with antibiotic resistant super bugs as well as health problems in the population.
This is widely known and admitted, and yet STILL DOCTORS ARE PRESCRIBING THEM FOR COLDS AND FLU’s! and other simple health problems where their prescription is either completely useless or not warranted. Why?
We have a huge percentage of the population now on various anti depressants – in a seemingly valiant attempt to cure LIFE! Anti depressants are not the answer to what ails most people – a good hard look at their life and where they are headed is what is required. To pull themselves up by the boot strings and the taking responsibility for their lives is what is required. We are bombarded with messages telling us it’s ok to be miserable – hey it’s not our fault. It’s a chemical imbalance and only requires a drug to fix it – then everything will be just fine! Not so. These drugs are implicated in a higher risk of suicide and events such as the mass shootings that we commonly see now around the world. They are not an answer to anything.
We, like everything else on this planet, were designed by the creator to live in accordance with nature. No matter how superior science and scientists think they are, we can not beat nature – she will win out every time. It amazes me how well some people’s bodies function with what they are putting into them, day after day and year after year. They should not be surprised when they eventually can’t function any more.
You can take control of your health. Become educated. Learn what you need to. Use the ingredients that nature intended for us to use to stay healthy.
