Deadly Medical Mistakes Are Number One US Killer

[Guest guest]

As alarming as these figures are, I still believe that this still just

represents just the tip of the iceberg as to overall damage done.

 

A direct cause/effect would be imposible to make for most damage. It would be

too time consuming and costly and have to be done on an individual basis of each

person treated and still most would be very hard to prove. Therefore, most

iatrogenic damage would not be able to be connected specifically with any

treatment. Therefore it would have to be much, much greater in my opinion.

 

Also, most medicos certainly don't look to hard to find fault within their own

ranks so a lot of damage is obscured in reporting etc.

 

These figures here would represent the ones that are easily recognizable.

Deadly Medical Mistakes

Are Number One US Killer

 

For the first time, new information has been presented showing the degree to

which Americans have been subjected to injury and death by medical errors.

 

The results of seven years of research reviewing thousands of studies conducted

by the Nutrition Institute of America show for the first time that medical

errors are the number one cause of death and injury in the United States.

 

According to the NIA's report, over 784,000 people die annually due to medical

mistakes. Comparatively, the 2001 annual death rate for heart disease was

699,697 and the annual death rate for cancer was 553,251. Over 2.2 million

people are injured every year by prescription drugs alone and over 20 million

unnecessary prescriptions for antibiotics are prescribed annually for viral

infections.

 

The report also shows that 7.5 million unnecessary medical and surgical

procedures are performed every year and 8.9 million people are needlessly

hospitalized annually. Based on the results of NIA's report, it is evident that

there is a pressing need for an overhaul of the entire American medical system.

 

The findings, described as a 'revelation' by Martin Feldman, MD, who helped to

uncover the evidence, are the product of the first comprehensive studies on

iatrogenic incidents (those caused by the treatment or drug itself). Never

before has any study uncovered such a massive amount of information about the

degree and effect of iatrogenesis. Historically, only small individual partial

studies have been performed in this area.

 

Carolyn Dean, MD, a physician and author who also helped to uncover the findings

said, " I was completely shocked, amazed, and dismayed when I first added up all

the statistics on medical death and saw how much allopathic medicine has

betrayed us. "

 

The Nutrition Institute of America is a not-for-profit, non-partisan

organization that has been enlightening the public on health issues for nearly

30 years. For more information, contact David Slater, President of NIA at (646)

505 - 4660 ext 155.

 

PHILLIP DAY'S COMMENT: More evidence of the disastrous failure of drug-based

medicine. These figures are substantially higher than those reported in the

Journal of the American Medical Association's July 2000 edition, where 225,000

was the given total.

 

Do not be fooled or coerced into taking treatments that ring alarm bells before

they have been fully investigated by you. The following titles deal with this

phenomenon of medical deaths in more detail and the natural and very effective

alternatives.
