The collapse of western medicine was reported by this writer first in 2002,

and with the recall or pending withdrawal of anti-inflammatory drugs like

Vioxx, Celebrex, Bextra, public confidence in modern medicine has been

shaken. But what you have heard or read is just the tip of the iceberg.

More drugs are soon to be removed. The failure of conventional medicine to

adopt natural medicines has not only been costly from a financial

standpoint, it has cost hundreds of thousands of lives, far more than the

Sumatra earthquake/tsunami you have heard about in the news media recently.

Predicted collapse of conventional medicine now underway - one vitamin

could save Medicare from bankruptcy.

By Bill Sardi

Two years ago this writer authored an e-book entitled The Collapse of

Conventional Medicine in the wake of reports which indicated estrogen

replacement therapy, arthroscopic knee surgery, prostate cancer surgery,

bone marrow transplantation and radical mastectomy for breast cancer were

worthless and possibly problematic treatments.

We are now witnessing another round of news reports centered on the failure

of prescription drugs. Anti-inflammatory drugs (Vioxx, Bextra, Celebrex)

have come into question with the realization they increase the risk of

dying from heart disease. To make matters worse, arthritic patients who

experience pain are likely to switch back to ibuprofen and aspirin,

medicines that increase the risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage that kills

an estimated 16,000 people annually. Alternatives such as fish oil,

curcumin from turmeric, oral hyaluronic acid, SAMe, bromelain from

pineapple, should be utilized as safer alternatives, but are rarely

prescribed by doctors.

The unsafe drugs you are hearing about in news reports are just the tip of

the iceberg. Ralph Nader's Public Citizen organization is calling for 181

drugs to be removed from the marketplace because of a lack of safety or

ineffectiveness. The safety system for new drugs is flawed. An estimated

30,000-40,000 lives were lost before the FDA begrudgingly took action to

recall Vioxx. Britain recalled Rezulin, an anti-diabetic drug, in 1997 but

it took three years for it to be removed from the marketplace in the US.

You and your loved ones are at avoidable mortal risk when taking FDA

approved drugs.

Amidst the chaos, a drug company airs a television ad saying " the FDA has

confidence in Crestor, " a cholesterol-lowering statin drug, but the FDA

says the ad is " false and misleading. " Public Citizen is calling for this

drug to be recalled because of an increased risk for kidney failure. In

reality, all statin drugs should be removed from the marketplace because

they potentially increase the risk for liver and kidney disease, mental

depression, cancer and heart failure.

To make matters worse, a front-page report in the Los Angeles Times reveals

that Crestor was approved upon the recommendation of researchers at the

National Institutes of Health (NIH), most who were paid consultants to the

drug company. One NIH doctor was interviewed on television wearing a white

coat with the emblem of the NIH without revealing he was a paid consultant

to the company that makes Crestor. The NIH has invoked a partial ban on

outside income. Astonishingly, 200 NIH scientists have submitted a letter

of appeal, saying a permanent ban on outside income will make them

" second-class citizens in the scientific community. " The referees see

nothing wrong with being bought off! [Los Angeles Times Dec. 22, 2004]

If doctors do not express their outrage over being misled about the safety

of drugs, they will be considered as conspiring partners with the FDA, the

NIH and the drug companies. A crisis looms in physician credibility.

How will doctors respond when they find that, since 1992, they have been

misled about vitamin C? Doctors were told by NIH researchers that high-dose

vitamin C (beyond 200 milligrams per day) is excreted and produces

" expensive urine. " A newly published report reveals earlier studies were

flawed if not intentionally designed to fail, and oral-dose vitamin C can

achieve blood concentrations three times greater than previously thought

possible. [ls Internal Medicine 140:533-7, 2004]

More and more Americans are searching for alternatives. If 100 million

Americans who have low vitamin C consumption would take vitamin C pills,

mortality rates would drop suddenly in the US. A confirming report, a

review of nine different studies, indicates adults who regularly take

vitamin C pills providing greater than 700 milligrams per day will

experience a 25% drop in their risk for coronary heart disease, the

nation's number one killer. [American Journal Clinical Nutrition 80:

1508-20, 2004] Compare that to statin cholesterol drugs which only reduce

mortality rates by 0.4%! [Journal American Medical Assn 288: 2998-307,

2002] The best diet, 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, will only

provide 200 milligrams of vitamin C and has not been shown to reduce

mortality rates from cancer or heart disease.

America is on the precipice of a great change. With prescription medicines

in question, if the truth about natural medicines gets into public view,

and the public begins to experience health benefits, there will be no

turning back. Medicare ran an $87 billion deficit in 2004 and had to draw

money out of the general fund. This entire deficit could be eradicated if

the public took just one 1000-milligram vitamin C pill on a daily basis.
