The Dangers of Pharmaceuticals
The Dangers of Pharmaceuticals

The very critical issues of medical errors and patient safety have received a great deal of attention in recent years. It began in November 1999 when the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a report estimating that as many as 98,000 patients die as the result of medical errors in hospitals each year. Dr. Barbara Starfield reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) deaths of 106,000 from non-error, negative effects of drugs. In 2006 a report was released indicating that medication mistakes injure well over 1.5 million Americans every year: http://www.effectivesafemedicine.com/xneg_pharmaceuticals.shtml

The Dangers of Pharmaceuticals

When we are talking about medical errors it is when doctors give too much medicine to a patient, or when they give the wrong medicine, or as it is in hospitals sometimes, when medicine is given by accident to the wrong person. This is not the same as an adverse event from the effects of normal doses of medications given to the right person. What is not acknowledged to any significant degree by health officials are that the great majority of drugs produced by the pharmaceutical companies are dangerous and ineffective meaning they cause more problems than they resolve to almost everyone they are given to.

Chemotherapy or Chemo-terrorism?

In 1990, $3.53 billion was spent on chemotherapy, the number more than doubled to $7.51 billion only four years later. By 2009 the projections are for cancer therapy products and services will increase to over $27 billion. Alan C. Nixon, PhD, former president of the American Chemical Society, states, “As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more harm than good.” Alan Levin, MD, of the University of California Medical School agrees: “Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy.”: http://www.effectivesafemedicine.com/xneg_pharmaceuticals.shtml

Antidepressants prove Dangerously Addictive

When Gina O'Brien decided she no longer needed drugs to quell her anxiety and panic attacks, she followed doctor's orders by slowly tapering her dose of the antidepressant Paxil. The gradual withdrawal was supposed to prevent unpleasant symptoms that can result from stopping antidepressants cold turkey. "I felt so sick that I couldn't get off my couch," O'Brien said. "I couldn't stop crying." Overwhelmed by nausea and uncontrollable crying, she felt she had no choice but to start taking the pills again. More than a year later the Michigan woman still takes Paxil, and expects to be on it for the rest of her life: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060806/ap_on_he_me/stuck_on_meds;_ylt=AlZRY...

Vaccines represent the Fundamental doctrine of Holy Wit in medicine no matter how dangers they are. There are laws that obligate doctors to inform patients of dangerous side effects yet doctors break these laws everyday. In the case of pediatricians and the childhood vaccination program we have an entire profession lying ‘for the good of the community;’ meaning they hide the dangers because they do not want to scare parents away.

Stimulant drugs prescribed for the treatment of ADHD are not only dangerous, they are highly addictive. From January 2000, through June 30, 2005, FDA identified nearly 1,000 reports of psychosis or mania possibly linked to the drugs, including Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, and Strattera.

Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft In February of 2006 the FDA announced that it is considering additional warnings on the labels of SSRI drugs—Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft. A report in The New England Journal of Medicine found that the use of SSRIs in pregnancy poses a serious risk of pulmonary hypertension in newborns. The condition that "is associated with substantial infant mortality and morbidity." "Despite treatment, 10 to 20 percent of affected infants will not survive." This appears to be an effort to put out a firestorm in the wake of the latest in a series of published reports about the hazardous effects antidepressants have on newborn infants whose mothers ingested them during pregnancy
Drug Safety and Animal Studies

"Toxicologists are...pursuing an illusion of safety using animals to fulfill political and legal obligations,” said Dr Robert Sharpe. The inescapable conclusion is that drug companies choose animal tests over scientific methods because of the utter unreliability of animal tests. Professor R.W. Smithells, Prof. of Pediatrics at the University of Leeds said, "The extensive animal reproduction studies to which all new drugs are now subjected are more in the nature of a public relations exercise than a serious contribution to drug safety.”

Animal testing is a cruel façade

Animal testing is cruel and mostly goes for nothing more than fooling a naïve population into taking dangerous medicines. Because each animal species is unique in its physiological, biochemical, histological, morphological and other characteristics, and consequently reacts differently to substances, drug companies can produce results favorable to their interests by simply choosing the appropriate species. If drugs were tested properly using true scientific methods, the vast majority of them would not be allowed onto the market because their harmfulness and ineffectiveness would be all too apparent. The constant stream of new drugs would slow to a trickle and within a few years most drug companies would go bankrupt.

"Results from animal tests are not transferable between species, and therefore cannot guarantee product safety for humans... In reality these tests do not provide protection for consumers from unsafe products but rather are used to protect corporations from legal liability."
Dr Herhert Gundersheimer
1988, Baltimore, Maryland.

"Toxicologists are...pursuing an illusion of safety using animals to fulfill political and legal obligations. As if to confirm our suspicions, some drugs are marketed and clinical procedures undertaken despite 'failing' animal tests! But if animal tests are sometimes ignored, they can also be used to imply certain advantages of a company's new product over existing drugs. On the other hand the fact that animal tests are misleading can form the basis of a company's defense against claims about one of its products. So, if animal experiments are misleading, they are at least flexible: they can be deemed inapplicable when necessary, ignored when convenient and used to imply important advantages over competing products."
Dr Robert Sharpe
The Cruel Deception, 1988.

"There are many ways of producing 'irrefutable' facts in support of any argument, using different kinds of animals: one just has to choose the right one. For example: "Do we want to show that Amanita phalloides is an excellent edible toadstool? Then we have only to feed it to the rabbit. Do we want to discourage people from eating parsley? Let us give it to the parrot which will probably be found lying stone-dead under its perch the next morning. Should we wish to rule out penicillin as a therapeutic drug, we have only to give it to the guinea-pig which will be dead in a couple of days. If we wish to convince the consumers of tinned food that botulin poison is harmless let us give it to the cat and it will lick its lips. Let us give it instead to the cat's traditional prey, the mouse, and it will die as if struck by lightning. If we need to show that Vitamin C is useless we withhold it from the diet of the most readily available animal: the dog, the rat, the mouse, the hamster...they will continue to thrive because their bodies produce Vitamin C of their own accord. To sum up, one has only to know how to choose the proper animal species to obtain the desired results. This is a kind of science which one can knead like dough. The trouble comes in believing that with dough one can produce health for human beings."
Professor Pietro Croce, MD
Vivisection or Science – A choice to Make 1991
Director of microbiological & pathological research at Hospital L. Sacco of Milan, Italy.

"Relying on animal tests means that new products which are thought to be safe are mass-marketed far too quickly and are prescribed by general practitioners and hospital doctors for thousands or even millions of patients without ever being properly assessed. It is hardly surprising that when problems occur - as they do all too frequently these days - they occur on a massive scale. Animal experiments allow drug companies to mass-market new drugs without testing them to see if they are safe and they encourage complacency among prescribing doctors who are not as alert for side effects as they should be because they have been told that the drugs they are prescribing are safe. The consequence of our reliance on animal testing is that new and untried drugs and procedures are being tested on vast numbers of people simply so that those making those drugs or pieces of equipment can make massive profits as quickly as possible.”
Dr Vernon Coleman, 1991

Drugs are Poisons

The problem is that virtually all drugs are toxic, and as Eli Lilly once said, "a drug without side effects is no drug at all". No drug can be pinpointed to affect only the organ it is designed to treat, and most drugs have broad effects and some affect virtually every organ system in the body. All synthetic chemicals including pharmaceutical drugs cause mitochondrial dysfunction and other toxic complications so use them at your peril.
