Do you have confidence in conventional medicine?

The American medical system is the number one killer in the United States. The deaths caused by conventional medicine, in just one decade, equate to approximately Eight Million. That’s more than all the casualties from all the wars America has fought in its entire history.

In 2006, health care spending reached 2 Trillion dollars. For that money, we should have the best medicine in the world – preventing and reversing disease, and knowing how to do minimal harm. Instead we are getting buried prematurely.

Add to the errors of medicine, deceptive marketing has led to consumer consumption of highly processed foods. Sugar in soft drinks is the number one source of calories in the U.S. which now causes one in three Americans to have diabetes, or pre-diabetes, and two in three Americans to be overweight. Toxic medicine will never reverse poor health that is due to poor food choices.

The truth is sloppy handwriting [by doctors] is the cause of 7,000 patient deaths each year, while preventable medication mistakes hurt 1.5 million patients.

Every year 7.5 million unnecessary medical and surgical procedures are performed.

At least 106,000 people die every year from adverse drug reactions. A mere 6% of all adverse drug reactions are properly identified. Most side effects are instead mistaken for new disease symptoms, leading to further drugging and unnecessary medical procedures, increasing the risk of death even further.

Most of these deaths are from expected adverse reactions, because they are an extension of the drug reaction.

The mortality rate for people between the ages of 45 and 64, who took their prescription drugs correctly, rose 90% in just five years

As of 2001, Pfizer was the number one most profitable company of all Fortune 500 companies. Their profit that year was 7.8 BILLION dollars, which is more than the profits of all Fortune 500 companies in the home building, apparel, railroad and publishing industries combined.

Modern medicine is no longer about health. It is a for-profit disease industry that can only survive if millions of people get sick, and stay that way… It’s an industry that refuses to consider vitally important aspects of health, like how stress lowers the immune system… how processed foods, alcohol, excessive calories in insufficient exercise are recipes for disease…how exposure to tens of thousands of toxins in our environment and in our food supply, have direct links to the illnesses you suffer.

You are told to stay out of the sun yet more than 50,000 people die each year because they do not get enough sun exposure.

Why are we being kept in the dark? Why is the truth not being sought? Follow the money!

More than half of the United States has received unnecessary medical treatment. That’s about 50,000 people each day.

42% have been directly affected by a medical mistake, from a procedure or a drug, and 84% of our population personally know someone who has been a victim of a medical error.

These medical errors and deaths equate to six jumbo jets falling out of the sky every day. The only difference is the media coverage – there’s no public displays of grief for those who die of faulty medicine.

The error rate of intensive care units is like the post office losing 16,000 pieces of mail every hour of every day or banks deducting 32,000 checks from the wrong account each and every hour – every day, year in and year out.

You do not have to become a statistic. This information is presented in memory of the millions of people who placed their trust in a corrupted medical system that took their lives for profit.
