RX Drugs 4th Leading Cause of Death in US


It's no joke. Properly administered and properly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs are the 4th leading cause of death in the US, according to the FDA -- click Here for the article...

Here's a breakdown...

-- that's 106,000 deaths per year. When illegal drugs kill only about 10,000 people each year, you know this is a problem.

-- from January-to-March this year, there were almost 21,000 reports of serious drug reactions to the FDA, and 4,800 deaths - - 4,800 People died in 3 months due to correctly prescribed drugs!


We are in the middle of a huge paradigm change in the US. People are realizing the deadly affect of our medically-minded 'health'-care system (or sick-care system, if you prefer). Our current system is based on the premise of irradicating and treating disease. So, if you do not have a disease, or yet to have one, then the system can do nothing for you. It cannot by principle help you to be 'healthier,' cause all they do is treat disease. The American Cancer Society and others use the words "prevention" and "cure" in much of their literature, when what they are talking about is 'screening' for cancer (mammography, etc...). Is that insane? How is screening preventative or curing? For you to detect cancer in your body, it's already been there growing for years! Well, this makes perfect since if the system is based solely on treating disease, and not about BEING HEALTHY. Perhaps there should be significant emphasis on eating a healthy diet, avoiding unnatural foods, chemicals, etc... but I guess there really isn't any money in that industry, at least not if you're a doctor or drug company! May we be apart of the solution to this system! Health to you!
