Death by medicine

The total number of iatrogenic deaths in the USA is 783,936. It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States.

"When the number one killer in a society is the healthcare system, then, that system has no excuse except to address its own urgent shortcomings."

The more I look into the AIDS phenomenon the more I understand that most of the solutions to the health crisis already existed.

Research funding has progressively buried the viable solutions as the pharmaceutical cartels impose their diagnostic/treatment monopoly world wide. This applies to most of the major diseases today.

Pharmaceutical funding for medical training and structures has skyrocketed over the last 20 years. One of the results on public health is revealed in this report by Gary Null and his team.

ABSTRACT

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.

"What we must deduce from this report is that medicine is in need of complete and total reform: from the curriculum in medical schools to protecting patients from excessive medical intervention."
