Prescription Medications

A Snapshot of Modern Medicine

Why Are We So Sick

The variety of pain and suffering in our modern medical paradigm is as diverse as mankind.
Sickness, disease, and injury abound, and the world cries out for help. Throughout the ages we
have found comfort in our healers, knowing that there was someone who cared, the doctors
and nurses who tirelessly with heart and hand reached out to bind up our hurt. They saved
lives, mended our bodies and gave us hope. Our world is a better place because of them.

Understand when you need a doctor only a doctor will do. Modern medical science has made an
incredible advance which has alleviated tremendous suffering. Surgical techniques have made
remarkable progress. The identification of germs, burns and trauma, broken bones and injury,
the list goes on, their value to humanity could be described as nothing less than heroic by the
men and women who have served us and cared for us.

But this story has yet another side and there is great failure in our health care today. And as a
result of that failure, there is pain and unnecessary suffering. It would be wise not to assign
blame wrongly. In our modern age the body is viewed as a group of separate parts and pieces,
disease and illness as a set of symptoms that can be eliminated. The body as a holistic entity
has little or no place in the modern day practice of medicine.

As drugs have become the Masters and Commanders of treating symptoms, and not the
causes, we are required to deal with the side effects of these very drugs, alleviating one symp-
tom in exchange for another. There is not a pharmaceutical commercial on television that you
don’t have to wonder when you hear the side effects, or go through a Physicians Desk Refer-
ence that these toxic chemical compounds have grave and serious consequences to our wellbe-
ing. They are not cures, they are symptom relievers. The irony in the whole matter is they
cause another set of adverse side affects over time than the one they alleviate.

Thirty years ago, diseases such as colon cancer, prostate cancer, and diverticular disease were
virtually unknown. Today if you live long enough it is a certainty these diseases will affect you.
Never in the history of the world has any other country come close to having as many doctors
as the United States, nearly 700,000. And never in the entire history of the world have we
spent as much as we do on health care, a conservative 1 trillion dollars, the entire Gross Na-
tional Product of all but six countries in the world today. Yet we lead the world in heart disease,
prostate cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, diabetes and one in every 2.5 individuals will
develop some form of invasive cancer in their lifetime and half of us will die from it.

And It’s Getting Worse

 The incidences of diabetes in the US have doubled in just the last 5 years.

 Fifty years ago diverticular disease [herniations of the colon] were virtually unknown, today
according to the Marck Manual, 100% of Americans will have many, if they live long enough.

 Thirty years ago, colorectal cancer was virtually unknown. Today it is the single most preva-
lent cancer among men and women combined.

 The number of Americans who suffer from Asthma, according to the Centers for Disease
Control, has risen by 75% in just 20 years.

 Breast cancer rates are up 30% in just 15 years.

 In all age groups cancer incidence is increasing. Few new effective treatments have been
developed for the most common cancers.

The Most Shocking Fact of All

 The April 15, 1998 Journal of the American Medical Association [12 years ago] reported
more than 200,000 drug reactions occur annually in the United States, and that 100,000 of
those reactions are fatal.

 These numbers only count drugs that were prescribed correctly and at the right dose.

 Not included are patients who are given the wrong drugs or wrong dosage or a combination
of both.

 And these numbers do not include patients who had fatal reactions, but death was mistak-
enly attributed to other causes.

 The FDA estimates that only 1% of all adverse reactions are reported, which if true would
bring the combined total to easily over 700,000. Add that number with the people who die
from misdiagnoses, inappropriate treatment, secondary infection, or plain physician error
and the startling fact is:

Modern Medicine is the single leading cause of death in the United States

Understand this is not an attack on doctors. It is the attempt of modern medicine to manage
the symptoms of illness with drugs that has failed. And failed miserably!

Pharmaceutical Companies

Understand that from the time a medical student enters med school until they retire their lives
are influenced by pharmaceutical companies. From buying them lunch, when they hardly can
afford cafeteria fare during their internship, to gifts like the paperweight or notepad you see on
your doctor’s desk. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Pharmaceutical companies sponsor and
fund the research doctors read. Pharmaceutical companies also publish many of the journals
doctors read, they send professional reps bringing gifts, samples and sales pitches as to why
their product is the best. These drug companies spend over 15 billion annually promoting one

on one marketing to doctors, a sales force of over 100,000 drug reps, that’s one drug represen-
tative for every 2.5 doctors in America. So fierce is the competition among the drug reps that
literally everything is for sale or exchange to get doctors ―hook, line, and sinker‖ to believe
what their company tells them about their product. In January 19, 2000 the conservative Jour-
nal of the American Medical Association concluded that ―the present extent of physician – in-
dustry interactions appears to affect prescribing and professional behavior.‖ Doctors are taught
that the solution to every illness or condition is a drug. Medicine at least in this country is big
business and if you’re in the business of selling that fast sleek sports car to alleviate any symp-
tom of discomfort or pain you have, well that apple cart with fruits and vegetables, supple-
ments and vitamins, it just isn’t going to get much attention. Even when an alternative ap-
proach seems to have amazing credibility, on the football field of medicine with high-end
coaches and referee’s [drug companies - FDA] you can bet a foul will be called and the alterna-
tive players will receive their 10 yard penalty. It’s business. And it’s big business!

Unfortunately the average doctor is left with a limited tool kit, and that kit consists of drugs. A
hostess who has gone on a diet knows more about nutrition than the average doctor. Doctor’s
are not nutritionist’s any more than pilots are dentists. Doctor’s are great at what they do;
they are also not so great about what they don’t do. Either temperance or training they fre-
quently dispense advise with absolute authority about nutrition when they know little or nothing
about it. Perhaps part of the problem may be there is little money on the table when you com-
pare the profits of pharmaceutical prescriptions to a bottle of supplements. We need a para-
digm shift.

In America optimal health eludes most of us; our lifestyles for the most part are formed around
habits that are not healthy, especially when it comes to what we eat. Supplements and antioxi-
dants are a necessity in a world where we are continually bombarded by free radicals and our
foods are nutritionally deficient of vital minerals. But few of us take optimum amounts of sup-
plements to ensure good health, let alone know how to, and our diets are worse yet.
―It has been often said that this body is the only one you’ll ever get and you have to make it
last for a lifetime.‖ The only question is how long and HEALTHY will that life be. The simple fact
is that you absolutely can live into your 70s, 80s, and beyond in great health and vitality. You
must make the right decisions now for that to happen. If you want to live a full and satisfying
life you must take back control of your own health, no one is going to do it for you. Diet, exer-
cise and supplements are a vital necessity in our modern environment.

us is the greatest force in getting well.”
