America is undergoing a massive experiment to determine whether pharmaceuticals really work -- basically... a large percentage of our population are just lab rats. Hopefully, every rational thinking person is coming to the conclusion that pharmaceutical drugs really don't improve the health of those who take them and that the use of super foods, natural vitamins and minerals and a good healthy lifestyle are the answer to our nation's health problems.
The sad fact of the matter is that the more pharmaceuticals you take, the sicker you will eventually be. That's because pharmaceutical drugs create imbalances in our bodies that eventually lead to even more and worse side effects that we originally took the drug for. It is pretty ironic that many of the drugs people take actually cause the very things they claim to prevent. Osteoporosis drugs cause hip fractures. Cancer drugs cause cancer. Antidepressants cause suicidal thoughts. Steroids, etc.cause more problems to those with auto-immune diseases such as arthritis and more obscure diseases such as itp (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura). The list goes on ad infinitum.
It is really difficult to comprehend that nearly half of all Americans now use prescription drugs on a regular basis as documented by the Center for Disease Control in a report just recently released. (1) More than one in ten Americans use five or more prescription drugs regularly and amazingly almost a third of the citizens of the US consistently use two or more drugs. No wonder we are such a sick nation!
In the same CDC report, it was revealed that nine out of ten seniors are on drugs....and the most sickening news is that one in five children are regular users of prescription drugs. The total combined cost of our "drug" habit is over $234 billion in 2008. Honestly, what is our country doing? The most commonly used drugs were:
• Statin drugs for older people
• Asthma drugs for children
• Antidepressants for middle-aged people
• Amphetamine stimulants for children
America as a nation has become one big drug addict! Senior citizens are being drugged for nearly every symptom a doctor can locate, children are being doped up with (legalized) speed, and men and women are popping anti-depressants at an alarming rate.
Prescription drug addictions are on the rise, as well. And it's getting worse all the time. But just wait til the new health reform insurance regulations come into effect. Most of the bill was designed to give favor to the pharmaceutical industry, so that more people can be put on medications.
This mass drugging of America has virtually reached the point of no return where the future of the US is in grave danger. Pharmaceutical drugs are known to cause cognitive decline, and when most of the nation gets to the point that their thinking is disrupted...our country will fall apart.
And what about the financial cost of America's drug addiction: The more drugs you take, the more added sickness and symptoms you have, the more drugs you take and so on until it eventually kills you. Just about one out of every five dollars out of the entire U.S. economy now being spent on sickness and disease. America is stuck on the vicious hamster wheel of sickness and high priced drugs that actually cure no one... stuck in a cycle of high-cost drug treatments and eventual destruction of the health.
No one ever gets healthier from taking prescription drugs. They don't cure and they don't prevent disease, only hide symptoms. Pharmaceuticals only maintain patients in a kind of "pre-death state" where they're alive just enough to keep buying more drugs. Pharmaceutical companies don't want you dead because that would reduce their profits. And they certainly don't want you to be healthy either, because then they wouldn't have any customers.
It is a known fact that people manage to get the best nutrition and natural supplements are the ones who live a healthy and drug free life. Why do you think they keep lobbying congress to introduce horrible bills that control the natural health industry. It is certainly not for the good of the people, only so that they can control the population and increase profits. Pharmaceutical drugs are designed with one thing in mind....to keep you in a continual diseased state without curing your condition but also without killing you outright so that you will remain a sick and dependent drug user to increase their bottom line.
You just barely chemically exist, spending massive amounts of hard earned money while your memory fades, and your health declines. Pharmaceuticals don't work! Don't you think it's obvious? If they really did work to improve health, then wouldn't it be logical to conclude that over half of the US that uses pharmaceutical drugs should be the healthiest half? And that those people living naturally and consuming natural vitamins and minerals would be the unhealthiest? Hmmm? Something is not adding up!
Modern medicine and specifically the Pharmaceutical industry, is ravaging our country at record speed. The obvious "cure" for this problem is to get rid of what is not working (ie: pharmaceuticals) and start re-building our nation's health with the things that are working to keep us healthy...Precisely, nutrition, natural vitamins minerals, super foods and a natural lifestyle.
