Conventional medicine is “the leading cause of death” in the United States

Something is wrong when regulatory agencies pretend that vitamins are dangerous, yet ignore published statistics showing that government-sanctioned medicine is the real hazard.

Who says you can't detoxify your body?

“There is no known way – certainly not through detox treatments – to make something that works perfectly well in a healthy body work better.”

Edzard Ernst, emeritus professor of complementary medicine at Exeter University

This article is hilarious because it quotes a couple of professors who are in the profession that is most responsible for the worldwide epidemic of drug-induced liver failure and consequent premature deaths.

I attended a practitioner education course earlier this week on the topic of iatrogenic disease which dealt in detail with how the liver and kidneys metabolise (or should I say "struggles to metabolise") prescription medications into less toxic substances in preparation for excretion. In popular terms this is called "detoxification". I learned that there is a medical crisis with drug-induced liver toxicity. Liver damage caused by drugs such as NSAIDs amounts to tens of thousands of people being killed or maimed annually (Paracetamol, for example, is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the Western world 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol).  

The liver is an astonishingly complex organ that does a number of critical functions including filtering the blood and cleansing the body of wastes and toxins. When it comes to pharmaceutical drugs, we must bear in mind that the liver never had to deal with any of these toxic substances until less than a hundred years ago! It is hardly a surprise that the liver of even the most healthy person struggles to detoxify these alien chemicals. Here is a review of the huge problem of drug-induced liver damage, as well as it giving an overview of how the liver detoxifies drugs and other toxins:

Here's a Youtube video about liver health:

Detoxification processes can be supported and the liver given some protection from harm by supplementing the healthy diet with a variety of nutritional compounds ranging from glutathione to milk thistle. The only debate we should be having about detox is whether or not a person needs to support this natural, ongoing body process with special diets and supplements? I accept that there is no shortage of quackery out there which is why one is best advised to seek the assistance of a knowledgeable health professional, rather than a shop assistant, especially if one suspects harm is being caused by prescription or over-the-counter drugs.

While being laughable, it is still very sad to read articles like these which come across as a blatant and sensational attempt to bag anybody who wishes to promote health beyond the simplistic message:

"Eat healthy, exercise regularly and don't forget to take your meds" 

Rest assured that we can do much better than that!

Drugging the population into premature old age

"Here's a typical scenario. A healthy person goes to the doctor for a checkup and is told his

cholesterol or blood pressure is high. So he starts taking medication, which causes side effects. This leads his doctor to give him a second drug to treat those side effects. But, of course, that second drug causes new side effects. So the doctor prescribes a third drug to treat the side effects of the second one!

Before you know it, the person's health is spiraling downward and he soon needs people to take care of him. And everyone just chalks it up to "old age."

But you can fight back against this system of medicine run amok. First of all, make sure you always try natural remedies first. Pharmaceuticals should be a last resort, not a first option. Secondly, if you have a loved one in a nursing home, talk to a naturally minded physician about possibly weaning them off the drugs. This single step may make a huge difference in their health and well-being."

Quoted from a letter by Dr Mark Stengler.

Dr Stengler more or less repeats what my ex-wife, now the manager of an old person's nursing home said of the people she cares for: "...take them off their drugs and they live longer".

If only there were more doctors prepared speak out about the carnage the medical-drugs industry cartel are causing. Here in New Zealand, a country of just 4 million people, we spend about $14 billion on healthcare. How much healthier are we for it? How much of this do you and your family see each year as tangible health benefits?

"Medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States" - Report

"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."

As the years pass by, it is interesting to reflect on trends. One trend apparent in correspondence received from around the world, is the increasing overuse of powerful pharmaceuticals for treating conditions for which there are healthy natural remedies. There are three aspects about this trend that I find disturbing: That the health professionals doing the prescribing seldom, if ever, consider natural therapies before resorting to potentially harmful drugs; that it is common for people to be on up to a dozen different pills and potions at a time; and the growing acceptance from age 30 years on that popping prescription pills is to be the norm.

By all impressions the USA takes the award for being the most over-medicated country on the planet. The US is closely followed by Canada which does a roaring trade selling cheap drugs into the the USA. Sadly; where America goes - we go and so it is that New Zealand is heading down the path to chemicalised entrapment. We must resist this disturbing loss of independence and consequent ill health. So, whether it is buspar, botox or betaloc, please think twice before you take it - Do you really need it? Ask your health professional about natural alternatives for treating that dodgy prostate, feelings of doom and gloom or high blood pressure (There are several good ones). Of course there is a place for medication - don't get me wrong - but its all about balance and right now, I think we are badly off balance. Commercial gain is taking precedence over what may be best for the individual consumer.

You deserve the best of health care - insist on it!
