Medical system is leading cause of death and injury in US
Shocking statistical evidence is cited by Gary Null PhD, Caroly Dean MD ND,
Martin Feldman MD, Debora Rasio MD and Dorothy Smith PhD in their recent paper
Death by Medicine - October 2003, released by the Nutrition Institute of
America.
"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. The number of unnecessary
medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million. The number
of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million. The
total number of iatrogenic deaths shown in the following table is 783,936. It
is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and
injury in the United States. The 2001 heart disease annual death rate is
699,697; the annual cancer death rate, 553,251.
Health Care expenditures in the US have reached 14% of the Gross National
Product and a staggering $1.6 trillion in 2003. No wonder, one might be tempted
to say. With such an appalling record of efficacy and such an unbelievable
death rate for the treatments routinely administered, the current medical
system can only be said to be in great need of deep reform.
Certainly it would appear more urgent to investigate the rationale, efficacy
and relative cost-effectiveness of pharmaceutical medicine than to legislate
restrictive rules for supplements of vital nutrients, as most governments and
some international organisations are doing in these times.

Deadly Medical Mistakes Exposed
New York, New York - New information has been presented showing the degree to
which Americans have been subjected to injury and death by medical errors. The
results of seven years of research reviewing thousands of studies conducted by
the NIA now show that medical errors are the number one cause of death and
injury in the United States.
According to the NIA's report, over 784,000 people die annually due to medical
mistakes. Comparatively, the 2001 annual death rate for heart disease was
699,697 and the annual death rate for cancer was 553,251.
Over 2.2 million people are injured every year by prescription drugs alone and
over 20 million unnecessary prescriptions for antibiotics are prescribed
annually for viral infections. The report also shows that 7.5 million
unnecessary medical and surgical procedures are performed every year and 8.9
million people are needlessly hospitalized annually. Based on the results of
NIA's report, it is evident that there is a pressing need for an overhaul of
the entire American medical system.
The findings, described as a "revelation" by Martin Feldman, MD, who helped to
uncover the evidence, are the product of the first comprehensive studies on
iatrogenic incidents. Never before has any study uncovered such a massive
amount of information with regard to iatrogenesis. Historically, only small
individual partial studies have been performed in this area.
Carolyn Dean, MD, a physician and author who also helped to uncover the
findings said, "I was completely shocked, amazed, and dismayed when I first
added up all the statistics on medical death and saw how much allopathic
medicine has betrayed us."
The Nutrition Institute of America is a not-for-profit, non-partisan
organization that has been enlightening the public on health issues for nearly
30 years.

Thanks so much for your webpage, it truly is my philosophy as well - self
sufficiancy, reliance on your own brain power, not being a drone etc.
This however was a painful passage, one of which you go through as you descend
into a rabbit hole, after having two children vaccinated and now how autism
becuase of it.
My webpage will explain why a universal screen for biochemical differences
should be followed accordingly in line to the biological code of ethics, that
every person has a healing constitution different from their neighbors,
thereby, a one size fit all with any drug, vaccine or approach, is unadvisable
and could be detrimental and deadly.
Thanks
