Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Dear Friends, We are coming across a lot of news regarding adverse drug reactions and the news of the drugs being pulled out of circulation because of them. We have scientists trying to point out that these drugs cannot cause all the problems that are being attributed to them. So then what is causing all these side effects? This brings us to the core of the problem. The drugs are proving to be disastrous not only because of the harmful chemicals present in them but also because they are being wrongly administered under the instructions of a mode of treatment that knows precious little about either health or disease. The alternate health practitioners have been warning time and again that health is much more than being just symptom free and that disease is dynamic in nature. What does this mean? To know this we must understand the term " metastasis " . Metastasis means the movement of disease from one level to another. That is, once the disease force is wrongly treated at one level it tends to travel to a deeper level and affect the life force in more ways than one. The medical community is yet to come to terms with this concept and that disease is a morbid force and not just an " attack of germs or cells going mad " . Recently I had posted on the dangerous effects of tackling skin problems at the external level without trying to understand the root cause of the problem. THE SKIN not only protects our body from the external environment but also HELPS IN ELIMINATING DANGEROUS TOXINS. When an attempt is made to interfere with this toxin elimination process it results in severe damage to the internal organs and also the nervous system. This is more than borne out in the following article: --\ --------------------- " WDDTY e-News " <e-news WDDTY e-News Broadcast - 28 July 2005 Thu, 28 Jul 2005 20:39:18 +0100 WHAT DOCTORS DON'T TELL YOU - E-NEWS BROADCAST No. 176 - 28 July 2005 DRUG ALERT: Psoriasis therapy causes serious infection A special alert has been issued this week about the psoriasis drug Raptiva (efalizumab). It's a possible cause of anaemia and a series of life-threatening infections. This is bad news for psoriasis patients as the drug is intended as a 'last resort' therapy, and to be used only if all other treatments have failed - not that we suppose for even a moment that it's being prescribed that way. New studies into the drug have discovered that the drug has been connected to cases of immune-mediated hemolytic anaemia, and to life-threatening infections such as necrotizing fascutis, tubercolous pneumonia, bacterial sepsis, severe pneumonia with neutropenia, and a worsening of any existing infection. The reactions tend to occur within four to six months of starting the drug. The drug was licensed in 2004 in Europe and the USA, which means it passed all the safety tests. At the time, regulators were aware that the drug might cause infection, but the severity of the reaction has not been realized until now. Other side effects include headache, chills, nausea, flu syndrome and fever. The drug works by suppressing the immune system, which explains the extent of the infections. The jury's still out as to whether the drug might increase the risk of cancer, but no doubt we'll be told in the fullness of time.

The system itself is faulty. Regards, Jagannath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
