4800 Deaths by Medicine Reported in the First Quarter

This is a remarkable article by MSNBC.com. During the first three months of 2008, 4,800 people DIED as a direct result of the medications they were taking. This means that a reported 20,000 people die each year from something they believe will save their lives, or in some way improve it. Did you catch that? REPORTED! The watch group who tallies these deaths say that only a fraction of deaths are reported. So in reality, more than 20,000 people die each year just from taking medicine. Please refer back to my Death By Medicine article for more astounding numbers associated with allopathic medicine.

So what gets me, is all the fuss over strokes caused by chiropractic. Chiropractic does NOT cause even 100 strokes a year...and even if it did, not every stroke would result in death. Yet, chiropractors are constantly defending themselves when it comes to strokes. If chiropractic resulted in even half the number of tragedies as "traditional" medicine, we as a profession would be shut down. Why is it that allopathic providers can continue to write prescriptions for these deadly medicines? Why is it that drug companies aren't held accountable for all these deaths? WHY AREN'T THESE DRUGS BEING PULLED OFF THE MARKET??? Who's looking out for you? Is it possible that the second largest government lobbiers (drug companies, behind insurance companies) have something to do with all this? Is this why the FDA hasn't put an outright ban of these drugs or done more to protect the quality of drugs imported from China?

I'm incredibly surprised to see this story in the mainstream media, but I wish it was front page news. The American people should be outraged! After all, we're all brainwashed by these drug ads we see on TV, they're going to make our aches and pains go away...not harm us, and certainly not kill us, despite the length of side effects list. It's time people start to realize that their sickness is making someone a lot of money, and it's not in medicine's best interest to make that sickness go away. If you were healthy, why would you need the latest designer drug? How would that increase someone's bottom line? It's time to educate yourself, because who's going to protect you?
