Fwd: [SSRI-Research] MORE ON MEDICAL DESTRUCTION

[Guest guest]

These figures are probably just the tip of the iceberg. Most iatrogenic damage

would not be able to be directly provable. The real figures would be many

mutiple times any figures used in any study of provable damage. Frank

[sSRI-Research] MORE ON MEDICAL DESTRUCTION

 

MORE ON MEDICAL DESTRUCTION

NOVEMBER 28. Prior to my radio appearance on Coast to Coast AM, I1m laying

out some stats and facts about the true effects of the medical cartel.

 

That show will air live on December 3. To find the station in your area, or

to listen on the Internet, go to www.coasttocoastam.com

 

To encourage the kind of serious discussion of issues host George Noory is

providing, you can send emails to George

 

Today1s factoids are cited in an excellent October 2003 report, DEATH BY

MEDICINE, co-authored by Gary Null, Dr. Carolyn Dean, Dr. Martin Feldman,

Dr. Deborah Rasio, and Dorothy Smith.

 

Money influence in medical research in universities? In 1981, drug companies

laid out $292 million for research. In 1991: $2.1 billion. See Cynthia

Crossen1s book, Tainted Truth: The Manipulation of Fact in America.

 

3Over a million patients are injured in US hospitals each year, and

approximately 280,000 die annually as a result of these injuriesS<caron>2 Bates

DW;

JAMA 1995, Jul 5; 274(1):29-34.

 

From the Null Report: 3In 2001, Cesarean section is still the most common

OB/GYN surgical procedure. Approximately 4 million births occur annually,

with a 24% C-section rate, i.e., 960,000 operations. In the Netherlands only

8% of babies are delivered by Cesarean section. Assuming human babies are

similar in the US and in the Netherlands, we are performing 640,000

unnecessary C-sections in the US with its three to four times higher

mortality and 20 times greater morbidity than vaginal delivery.2 See Family

Practice News, Feb. 15, 1995.

 

The Null Report cites the famous 2000 JAMA article written by Barbara

Starfield---in quality of health delivery, the US ranks 12th out of 13

countries studied. Starfield relies in part on Weingart1s June 2000 Western

Journal of Medicine study, which indicates (by extrapolation) that medically

caused illness, injury, or complication account for 116 million extra doctor

visits, 77 million extra drug prescriptions, 17 million emergency room

visits, 8 million hospitalizations, 199,000 extra deaths, and $77 billion in

extra care costs.

 

Against this horrendous background, you can get a good idea of what1s really

involved when medical honchos go after this herb or that herb or this

vitamin or that vitamin.

 

It1s called misdirection.

 

Look over here, where six people died.

 

Don1t look there, where 300,000 people died.

 

Of course, most people don1t believe anyone in the medical profession could

be guilty of intentional misdirection.

 

So for the hundredth time, let me say: The intentional part is supplied by a

very, very few people; the rest believe in what they1re doing; true

believers abound everywhere, even in the circles of high IQ self-styled

elites.
