This site and article contain more than just information in regards to prescription deaths, it also contains death stats in regards to almost all medical errors. All info is backed by credible sources and not a bunch of made up BS.

I do not trust the medical system at all they have become a corrupt entity IMO.

Thoughts anyone?

Prescription Death Information and More

Prescription Drugs - Leading Killer in USA

According to information we have received, a statistical study of hospital deaths in the U.S. conducted at the University of Toronto revealed that pharmaceutical drugs kill more people every year than are killed in traffic accidents.

The study is said to show that more than two million American hospitalized patients suffered a serious adverse drug reaction (ADR) within the 12-month period of the study and, of these, over 100,000 died as a result. The researchers found that over 75 per cent of these ADRs were dose-dependent, which suggests they were due to the inherent toxicity of the drugs rather than to allergic reactions.

The data did not include fatal reactions caused by accidental overdoses or errors in administration of the drugs. If these had been included, it is estimated that another 100,000 deaths would be added to the total every year.

that's why they are desperately trying to outlaw and destroy any alternatives

see
www.abovetopsecret.com...

too bad people can be convinced on way or the other that it has to be that way, too strange and it doesn't bode well for our future.

Actually, if you read the links, many of these preventable deaths are from infection that wasn't treated properly, from bedsores, from blood clots after operations that weren't recognized and treated. They're for in-hospital care.

It's not for prescription medicine. (this is from the links you gave, RealTruth. I read the full text of the articles, not what the website said was in them.). Here's another link to an article on the same thing that goes into more details:
www.medicalnewstoday.com...

Here's some more things they didn't point out:
1/3 of those deaths are in Medicare patients, who often don't get to the hospital until things are seriously wrong (can't afford health care and don't have a regula doctor.) This is stated in the article but isn't mentioned on the website. Some of these were Alzheimers patients.

Deaths for cancer with conventional treatments are down.
www.cancer.org...

Survival rates are much higher now... 20 years ago, a diagnosis of breast cancer for a woman almost always ended in death. I have friends who have had it within the past 10 years who are still alive thanks to treatment, and I know others have this same sort of experience.

If you go back to a time before drugs and radiation therapies, you find cancer was almost always fatal. The had all sorts of other therapies (many that are promoted today)... and a very low survival rate.

There is plenty of evidence to support that cancer has always been cureable and some people have been aware of it for decades but the FDA and/or government suppresses this information because they want our money and they want to keep us sick so they can continue to make money.

Check out these articles at NewsTarget.com.


Actually most articles on newstarget scream "FDA IS EVIL, HERBS CURE EVERYTHING, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SICKNESS.." etc etc and the list goes on.

Vitamin therapy and herbs and "potions" may help temporarily or alleviate minor medical conditions, sure, there's evidence for that. Most drugs today are and were derived from plant based sources. What I would like to see is some credible case studies on these cancer cures. I have yet to visit ONE webpage or a credible source with case studies and statistics on the success rates of these "magical cancer cures".

Byrd as usuall never ceases to impress me. Byrd: You are also right on in-hospital errors. I work in one of the top-10 ranking hospitals in the US and I still see medication errors and MD errors every single day. Its not intentional and its not necassarily a misdiagnosis. If one adds up the total # of people that have no adverse reactions that have been treated safely with the "evil FDA approved" meds with no known deaths..you'll see that the % of death due to wrong meds/dosage errors will be tiny. Thats to be expected. I would be a little shocked if anything had a 100% success rate. 100,000 is a nice big number but is trivial compared to a few million(if not more).
