Modern Conventional Medicine is Dangerous

Published May 22, 2010

There is a misperception that because a drug is an FDA-approved prescription medicine, it’s safe and effective. As eye witness testimonies before congressional committees have revealed, FDA’s oversight and drug approval process is corrupted by industry influence and flat out, conflicts of interest.

Since 1997, more than a dozen prescription drugs have been taken off the market due to serious side effects, in some cases after hundreds of injuries and even deaths have occurred. The Food and Drug Administration, which is responsible for approving and monitoring the safety of the medications have not been doing a good job. The FDA is too close to the medical industry it regulates. Critics argue that industry funding of the drug review and approval process gives pharmaceutical companies, and their lobbyists, too much influence over decision-making and policy.

Probably the single most important shift in the FDA of the last decade has been the change in how quickly they approve new drugs. In the late 1980s, the pressure to speed up drug approvals was rising. And it wasn’t just the drug makers complaining. It was doctors and patients who were complaining about why the FDA hadn’t approved the chicken pox vaccine (even though European nations had approved its use for years) to why it wasn’t moving faster on potentially life-saving AIDS treatments. These public displays of disaffection, combined with behind-the-scenes lobbying by pharmaceutical manufacturers and their trade groups, finally produced the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) of 1992.

Under the terms of PDUFA, the drug industry agreed to help finance the approval process, through “user fees” accompanying each new drug application. In exchange for the user fee the FDA promised to speed up drug approvals. In 1992, it had been taking the FDA an average of 30 months to approve a new drug. By 1996, the agency had cut the time to 16 months. This shift makes the FDA financially dependent to the very industry it is supposed to regulate. The speed of drug approvals leads to more unsafe drugs getting into the market.

Disease treatment is a huge business and we do find pharmaceutical companies, medical and health officials, doctors and hospitals attempting to sell us drugs and hospital procedures that are dangerous and ineffective. There is no shortage of hard evidence that shows how big pharmaceutical companies hide the dangers of drugs, never publishing results we have the right to know. The matter of unpublished research is a serious one. When doctors make mistakes people die and the withholding of information leads people to make mistakes.

Your medical doctor will almost always understate the risks and dangers of the drugs, tests, radiation and surgery. They will also exaggerate the effectiveness of the treatments they suggest. Much of what we find in orthodox oncology is fraudulent medical science. Who you trust is going to be paramount to the outcome of your cancer. A mistake with trust at this exact moment in your life could cost you your life.

In 2000, 109,000 people died from prescription drugs another 2.2 million survived but have illnesses or severe debilitation caused by prescription use. Every year over 500,000 people worldwide die from illness or organ diseased from the side effects of pharmaceutical products,” says the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). These pharmaceuticals are used to treat the most deadly diseases known to Western Man: heart attack, cancer, and stroke.” The April 27, 1998 Newsweek article by Kalb, Claudia writes about a study showing that some medicines, even if properly prescribed, may kill as many as 100,000 Americans a year.

A report by the Florida Medical Examiners Commission has concluded that prescription drugs have outstripped illegal drugs as a cause of death. An analysis of 168,900 autopsies conducted in Florida in 2007 found that three times as many people were killed by legal drugs as by cocaine, heroin and all methamphetamines put together. According to state law enforcement officials, this is a sign of a burgeoning prescription drug abuse problem. “The abuse has reached epidemic proportions,” said Lisa McElhaney, a sergeant in the pharmaceutical drug diversion unit of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. In 2007, cocaine was responsible for 843 deaths, heroin for 121, methamphetamines for 25 and marijuana for zero, for a total of 989 deaths. In contrast, 2,328 people were killed by opioid painkillers, including Vicodin and Oxycontin, and 743 were killed by drugs containing benzodiazepine, including the depressants Valium and Xanax.

Adverse drug reactions kill tens of thousands of people annually; one widely cited study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 1998 puts the number at more than 100,000. A series of drug recalls have pulled back the curtain to show how the media, the public, and some doctors can misinterpret medical studies or take them out of context in ways that make medical treatments look safer and more effective than they actually are.

Sanders Tenant (a pseudonym), had suddenly begun to talk gibberish while dining out with his family. Then his right arm and leg had gone weak. The doctor suspected an acute stroke, but first had to rule out conditions that can masquerade as a stroke, such as low blood sugar, a seizure, a brain tumor, and migraine headache. He had only minutes to make the correct diagnosis. Then the gathering medical team would decide whether to use a new stroke treatment that had recently been approved, a clot-buster known as tPA. The doctor called in a neurologist and the stroke team. After a CAT scan of the patient’s brain showed no sign of bleeding (something that would prevent the use of a clot-buster), the decision was made: Yes, use tPA. Despite following each step of the established protocol for this new treatment, The doctory experienced the unthinkable, his patient’s death. Tenant suffered a massive brain hemorrhage and died, not from his stroke but from effects of tPA, the drug that was meant to save him. Click here to read the full report

Chemotherapy drugs are not FDA approved. They are legally administered under the Rule of Probable Cause” states that experimental drugs may be used if the side effect of the drug is no worse than the end effect of the disease. In fact, every chemotherapy bottle is stamped “For Experimental Use Only” and the patient must sign a release before the doctor will prescribe or administer it. Multiple papers have been written stating that while some oncologists inform their patients of the lack of evidence that treatments work…others may well be misled by scientific papers that express unwarranted optimism about chemotherapy. Still others respond to an economic incentive.
