Despite mainstream medical establishments and media outlets portraying
multivitamin supplements as worthless and oftentimes toxic, vitamins
have led to 0 deaths over the past 27 years. In contrast, pharmaceutical
drugs were responsible for 3 million deaths, topping the death toll
from traffic-related incidents. In 2009, pharmaceuticals were
responsible for the death of 37,485 people nationwide.
The
statistics come from the Annual Report of the American Association of
Poison Control Centers' National Poison Data System (NPDS), and the
findings go against the claims of most mainstream doctors and medical
officials, who claim that pharmaceutical drugs are the only
'science-backed' method to 'treating' illness. However, the report
highlights the fact that pharmaceuticals oftentimes lead to death and
countless other side effects. In fact, the number of hospitalizations
and side effects were not documented by the report. While the report
only detailed the 3 million deaths as a result of drug use, countless
other adverse health effects have been linked to popular pharmaceuticals
such as cold and allergy medications.
Shockingly, the average
drug label contains around 70 negative side effects, though many popular
brand name drugs have been found to contain 100 to 125. Some drugs even
list around 525 negative effects on the label. These drugs are being
prescribed by doctors to 'treat' patients, when the drug side effects
are routinely worse than the very illness they claim to treat.
These
side effects are one reason that the FDA is now pulling over 500 cold
and allergy drugs off of pharmacy store shelves. What the FDA is not
addressing, however, are the negative effects associated with the
top-selling therapeutic class pharmaceutical drug -- antipsychotics.
Drugs, which are prescribed to 'treat' suicidal thoughts and behavior,
have been found to actually lead to suicide and other diseases such as
diabetes. The side effects were so significant that even U.S. pediatric
health advisers have begun speaking out to the media, citing the link
between antipsychotics and diabetes.
Previous whistleblowers
exposed the link between mental health drugs and suicide after it was
covered up by the makers of the drugs. Eli Lilly & Co, the makers of
Prozac, ignored and hid studies as far back as the 1980s that found
Prozac led to suicidal thoughts. Until Harvard Physicist Martin Teicher
leaked the findings to the press, the company managed to hide the news
from consumers worldwide.
Teicher said that the American people were being "treated like guinea pigs in a massive pharmaceutical experiment."
Pharmaceutical
drugs are loaded with toxic side effects and do not eliminate the root
cause of disease they claim to treat. Killing 3 million within the last
27 years, and topping traffic fatalities each year, pharmaceutical drugs
are a deadly and ineffective option when it comes to combating disease.
