#1 Cause of Illness, Disability & Death: Prescription Drugs

September 22, 2009, Richard Ruhling, MD, MPH,  Washington, DC

Adverse Drug Reactions put 2.2 million people in hospitals and 106,000 died, "making these reactions between the fourth and sixth leading cause of death." Journal of American Medical Assoc, 4-15-1998 

But how many died at home? 199,000 according to the Western J Med. June, 2000. Deaths in and outside hospitals from Rx totaled 305,000 then, with 8 million admissions to the hospital and 3 million for long-term care (nursing homes- these people were messed up for life!)

"From 1998 through 2005, reported serious adverse drug events increased 2.6-fold...fatal adverse drug events increased 2.7-fold..." Archives of Internal Medicine, Sep 10, 2007, p 1752.

But if deaths increased 2.7 fold from 1998 to 2005, by 2009 they are increased 4-fold. Multiplying 305,000 deaths/year by 4, prescribed drugs killed 1.2 million people/year-- these are not old people in nursing homes--most of them weren't even in the hospital.

837,000 deaths is like 12 airplanes with 100 people each crashing three times a day, 333 days/year. When only three planes crashed on 9/11, the government grounded all planes. Why not now? Confronted with these figures, a U.S. Senator said it is futile because the pharmaceutical industry controls congress. They spend $400 million/year to help re-election campaigns, says (Marcia Angell, MD, former editor of New England Journal of Medicine (60 Minutes' interview), now teaching at Harvard.

1. Drugs relieve symptoms and people think everything is okay. You don’t have to be as careful what  you eat. Your blood sugar, blood pressure or cholesterol will still be "normal."

2. Drugs do not cure disease. If they did, you wouldn’t have to get another prescription..

3. Drugs usually have a long list of adverse effects that people would not imagine. A purple pill (the ad says, "heal the damage") has 120 side effects in Physician’s Desk Reference.

4. Our bodies don’t have a chemical deficiency supplied by the drug, and they become toxic to it sooner or later. Then they go to their doctor for the “headache, diarrhea, or abdominal pain” for an additional prescription instead of quitting the one that caused it. They are now at risk for the leading cause of death, prescription drugs.

Congress is "dancing with the devil," says Marcia Angell, MD, in The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us, 2004, published by Random House. Angell says, "Drug companies promote diseases to match their drugs. Millions of normal Americans have come to believe that they have dubious or exaggerated ailments like 'generalized anxiety disorder,' 'erectile dysfunction,' 'PMDD,' and 'GERD." Government should get the drug ads off TV. 

  • General Accounting Office reported that for a decade, half of hundreds of drugs that were approved by the FDA had "serious post-approval risks, including heart failure, myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, seizures and kidney failure."
  • Pharmaceutical companies do not do long-term studies. They don't want to know the results because they would be liable as tobacco companies were. But why do our tax dollars fund their research through NIH? And why do they get to push their drugs with TV ads? 
  • Pfizer’s torcetrapib fulfilled its promise, increasing good cholesterol by 72% and reducing bad cholesterol by 24% in patients who were also taking a potent cholesterol-lowering drug. Despite the increase, the rate of potentially deadly heart problems rose by 25%, deaths rose by 40%. USA Today, 11-6, 2007. Pfizer spent $800 million developing a drug they could not bring to market. 
  • Meanwhile, scientists are discovering plant chemicals like lutein, lycopene and sulforaphane that protect against blindness, cancer, heart problems. What's the difference? Drug companies cannot patent natural products, so they focus on chemicals that relieve symptoms but do not cure. They are greedy and deserve to be taxed like tobacco companies to pay for the ever-increasing cost of medical care that their products cause.

Famous Quotes
The Father of Modern Medicine, Sir William Osler:
""Far too large a section of the treatment of disease is today controlled by the big manufacturing pharmacists, who have enslaved us in a plausible pseudo-science...We take into our bodies which we know little about, drugs that we know less about, to treat diseases that we know nothing about."

"Nature cures, not the physician...let your food be your medicine." Hippocrates

"The doctor of the future will dispense no drugs, but will interest his patients in prevention." Thomas Edison

"Every nation practicing western medicine is on the brink of bankruptcy" (author unknown, but the Bible said the same thing many centuries ago--"Babylon is fallen...for by her sorceries [pharmakeia is the Greek word] were all nations deceived" Revelation 18:2,23.

Practical Help
 Most medicine should not be stopped suddenly. Ask your doctor's help as you eat better and get exercise. Your need for medication should be less and you can taper off. Tapering slowly is especially important with anti-depressants, seizure and heart medicine. Your doctor can advise you on taking it twice a day instead of three times for a week before further cutting the dose. If he thinks you will die, get a another opinion--you may need to try several MDs.

Dr Gary Null addresses NY State Assembly Oct 13, 2009
Every year when flu season rolls around the public is barraged with news stories about the reasons to get a flu shot. This year is no different. From coast to coast the headlines are blaring “Get Your Shot!” Within the past few months the CDC even lowered the recommended age for the flu shot to children as young as six months old. Basically, that means they think that just about everyone in the country should get the shot except for newborns in order to stay well.
I have been trying to counter the propaganda regarding the flu shot for a number of years and for a number of reasons. Here are a few of them.
1. The flu shot contains toxic agents that could be harmful to your health. The shot could contain aluminum, formaldehyde, thimerosal (mercury), ethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, antibiotics and other adjuvants. Ask for the package insert on the shot for more details or do some research on the Internet. None of these compounds are 100% safe to inject into your body, even in the smallest of amounts. A slew of research points to them being serious culprits in a number of health challenges, including permanent disabilities and death. An excellent source where you can learn more about all vaccines and download the package inserts is www.vaclib.org.
2. The flu shot does not guarantee immunity. There is no evidence that the flu shot actually works. Pharmaceutical companies play a guessing game each year to try and determine which viral strain or strains will be circulating during flu season and that’s what they’ll put in the shot. The problem is viruses can mutate and change forms very easily so trying to guess which virus to protect against is analogous to a Vegas Craps shoot. Every year in recent memory, including the 2007-08 flu season, they have vaccinated against strains that have been proven to not be the culprit. According to a story written by Sheryl Walters for www.naturalnews.com, “In 2004, The National Vaccine Information Center reported that the vaccine given that year did not contain the flu strain that caused the majority of flu outbreaks that year. A study published in the Lancet in August revealed that there was no correlation between the flu shot and reduced risk of pneumonia. Further, a large study of 260,000 children between 23 month and 6 discovered that the flu vaccine is no more effective than a placebo. This was reported in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.”
According to the CDC’s own data, preventing influenza with the shot in the past has only ranged between 30-40%. That means that 60-70% of those who have taken the shot in previous flu seasons were not protected from the flu at all. This flu season (2008-09), the CDC is making bold claims that the shot will be 70-90% effective. This is being stated before flu season really kicks into high gear, and it is being stated after last year’s shot was proven to miss the mark. Sadly, the failure rate is never given. Most in society have been conditioned to believe that if you get a flu shot you’re protected.

3. The flu shot helps spread the flu. The shot contains something called attenuated virus. Attenuated basically means half-killed. The shot has to evoke an immune response and therefore has to have some form of viral activity to it to stimulate that immune response. The theory is to give you a tiny dose of the flu so your body will build immunity to it. Anyone who thinks that they are not contagious after getting a flu shot is woefully mistaken. Most of the package inserts will even tell you that you may exhibit mild flu symptoms for a few days after getting a shot. There are also a percentage of people who receive the shot and get very sick.
SHOULD WE VACCINATE OUR CHILDREN?

“If children receive flu vaccine, it can be even more deadly because children are more sensitive to mercury and to the effects of depressed immunity. Flu vaccine in children causes an increased incidence in asthma by 200%. There has caused sudden memory loss in children and adults immediately after receiving flu vaccine. . .

“Very young babies are at extremely high risk because their brains are immature; blood brain barriers are ‘leaky’ and more sensitive to toxins. In the first two years of life, infants may receive 22 vaccines with as many as nine shots in one office visit. Many doctors feel this is criminal. . .

“Nasal flu vaccines are even worse because they introduce a live virus into the nasal mucous membranes only a few inches from the brain where viruses can potentially travel upward via the olfactory (smell) nerves.

VACCINES AND AUTISM

“The evidence is overwhelming – Thimerosal and possibly other ingredients can cause autism. On February 25, 2008 an announcement came that even the Court of Federal Claims (the Vaccine court) agrees, as a family was awarded compensation from government (Dept. of Health & Human Services via US Assistant Attorney General Peter Keisler), in the case of a little 18 month old girl who immediately began a downhill neurologic horror shortly after receiving vaccines for 9 diseases in one visit to the doctor’s office. Two of the vaccines contained thimerosal.

“It was autism and much more, labeled by experts as regressive encephalopathy triggered by thimerosal in the vaccines. The child is permanently brain damaged. I saw nothing in the major media about this case. Rather strange isn’t it? The evidence has been there for decades. Thus far, 2000 people have received over 2 billion in compensation (our tax money) for thimerosal vaccine injuries.

“Their little girl’s case was profound and obvious. The more common scenario is the thousands who may have various types of brain damage which are not so severe and not so obvious: the ones which come on more slowly, several months or years later like ‘mild autism or mild ADHD’ or some mixture of mental or behavioral abnormalities.

“What a lot of people don’t understand . . . is that there can be several factors at work, not just mercury. Mercury is a deadly toxin but other factors can render it even more deadly. . . We never know which wicked mixtures [of toxic substances in vaccines] in combination may be producing neurologic disease. . . Medical ‘authorities’ would have you believe that certain diseases are clear-cut single events, black and white. The truth is that there are grey zones of disease which are hard to categorize.

“Vaccines aren’t just prone to produce autism; they have the potential to produce a variety of brain damage syndromes, mild to severe, depending on several factors embodied within the genetic + nutritional + environmental variables. Cleverly worded distortions in official press releases illustrate simply more ways that ‘lying with authority’ can fool you.”

SHOULD ADULTS RECEIVE ANNUAL FLU SHOTS?

“It is estimated that a flu vaccine injection yearly for five years running increases the chance for Alzheimer’s by at least 1000%. Flu vaccine can also cause anxiety and depression preceded by brain inflammation especially in the elderly who have high suicide rates.

“In spite of these known risks with vaccines, there is an all out campaign by public health officials and doctors to vaccinate elderly people, not only with the flu vaccine, but with a growing number of new vaccines. Many people report that flu shots give them the flu. In fact, people die from flu vaccine. When the elderly die after getting a flu shot, especially if months later, it is rarely blamed on the flu vaccine. Deaths and disability from flu vaccine far exceed deaths from the flu. . .

“Flu vaccines are only effective in 30% to 40% of people who take them and even that is questionable. There has never been strong evidence of fewer hospitalizations or decreased death rate from taking flu vaccines. This is another example of fact distortion by authority in the effort to sell more flu vaccine.

Flu vaccine during pregnancy can dramatically increase the risk for autism and schizophrenia. Most flu vaccines contain mercury (thimerosal) and aluminum and could contain viral fragments. It could cause multiple side effects in the brain including paralysis, hearing loss, vertigo and brain irritability.

“Flu vaccine over-stimulates the immune system, especially the brain. In fact, it can suppress immunity for weeks after receiving the vaccine. . . In people who die from flu vaccine, and there certainly are a number every year, the actual cause of death has often been reported as due to some other type of disease, but in reality, their immune systems have been depressed, allowing other diseases to become more deadly.
