The Hidden Dangers of Prescription Drugs
By Dr. Gary Tunsky
March 7, 2005
Whole Body Health supplement to American Free Press
A 48-year-old man, first name “Steve,” awoke one night with excruciating pain radiating from, of all places, his big toe. The throbbing pain became so unbearable he was certain to pass out if immediate help was not rendered. Twenty minutes later, Steve was rushed to the emergency ward of a nearby hospital where an attending trauma physician diagnosed a common, non-life-threatening condition labeled gout.
Affecting approximately 2 percent of the U.S. population, this acidic, diet-related disorder is triggered by uric acid crystals accumulating in the blood which crystallize to form razor sharp splinters similar to broken glass that deposit in the feet, fingers, or toes and can slice into tissue, nerves and bone, producing unbearable pain.
To ease Steve’s pain, the doctor prescribed a narcotic to temporarily alleviate the pain coupled with an anti-inflammatory to counteract the severe swelling in his big toe. Feeling euphoric and woozy from the injection, Steve returned to his home.
After being told that there would be no drug interactions between the two medications, Steve’s wife brought him a tall glass of water with the drug cocktail, which Steve dutifully swallowed before retiring to bed.
Within minutes of lying down Steve witnessed frightening events starting with violent convulsions and intermittent seizures knocking him to the floor. Steve’s vomiting became so intense that 911 was dialed for the second time that evening, and once again, Steve was rushed to the emergency room — only this time, he would not make it back alive. D.O.A. — dead on arrival — while in the ambulance.
An autopsy showed Steve’s cause of death as an allergic reaction to the medication mixture ingested to relieve his gout symptoms.
The common prescribed drug indomethacin taken by millions of people annually is generally regarded as safe, but for Steve, the pill was a death sentence triggering a severe allergic reaction.
The strange fact is Steve died not from the disease being treated, gout, but from the very medicine that was supposed to get him well. Steve’s death, like thousands of others, went unreported the next day in the media. The cause of death on Steve’s death certificate was falsely engraved as “seizure” with no mention of the drug cocktail mix that produced the violent attack in the first place.
Every year, many thousands of these same death-by-prescription cases go unreported with no one other than close family members and friends ever hearing about the way the person died. With over 700,000 licensed doctors writing sometimes 100 prescriptions per day, it’s easy to see why over 500 patients every 24 hours die as a result of properly administered medication, which just happens to trigger a life-threatening side effect such as allergic reaction, cardiac arrest, internal bleeding or organ failure.
Since physicians have no way of knowing how pharmaceutical chemistry will interact with you or anyone else, you’re the guinea pig playing Russian roulette with every drug you ingest.
In a letter in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, one physician wrote that for every patient that pharmaceuticals seem to help, there is one patient who is in some way harmed.
The first and foremost causative factor to blame for the statistical holocaust from prescription drugs is that all pharmaceuticals are man-made, synthetic, petroleum based, carbon chain constructs that are foreign to the body and manipulate cell function rather than modulate or balance cellular function, similar to tuning in a radio or piano.
Mixing synthetic, inorganic chemistry with living, intelligent, organic chemistry is analogous of throwing a crow bar in a running machine. Chances are you will do more harm than good. This explains the 2.2 million hospital admissions in 2003 stemming from severe side effects by properly administered pharmaceuticals.
If prescription drugs are four times more likely to kill you than car accidents, eight times more deadly than a murderer, and 100 times more likely to kill you than AIDS, why aren’t we all aware of the dangers?
The answer is “media control” by the very same globalists who control the drug companies, newspapers and media.
Let’s look at a fraction of some hidden factors that have made death-by-prescription the number four killer in the United States.
First, if a patient dies or is seriously injured under a doctor’s care, they have little incentive to report what went wrong. They simply pass the buck and direct the blame to the drug manufacturer, to which the drug company can simply say: “We warned you on the package insert of possible side effects and dangers.” The attempted lawsuit against the doctor or drug company gets thrown out by loopholes in due process that have been created by a corrupt legislature.
Secondly, doctors have a reputation and image to maintain — a medical deity status that represents medicine as an exact science. If it were exact science, there would be no side effects. Side effects are direct effects.
Pharmaceutical drugs cause disease. For example, if you’re given a prescription drug for heart disease and after three months that drug ends up destroying your liver, it should rightly be labeled a pharmaceutically induced disease.
Millions of people around the world are suffering from or have been killed by pharmaceutical related diseases. Doctors are careful to downplay the side effect dangers as necessary for therapeutic value, and emphasize their finite successes as a highly trained disease expert. The truth is, doctors can’t possibly know the consequences of any drug dispensed to a patient due to the varied, unique body chemistries of each individual. Especially when very few patients are taking only one prescription drug.
Doctors also tend to protect their own. In my hospital rotations at Scottsdale Memorial in Arizona, I witnessed several cover-ups of adverse reactions either killing or maiming the patient while their colleagues altered or erased the patient files protecting the doctors from wrongful death suits.
The third flaw is the government watchdog agencies. Every year, the American Medical Association and the Food and Drug Administration are responsible for examining, approving or rejecting thousands of drugs. The political pressure of drug company lobbyists and politicians always wanting “fast track” approval makes it easier to get by on less than optimal safety standards and accountability.
Because of a position of trust in the white coats of the medical priesthood, patients assume if the doctor prescribed it, “Who am I to question the safety of the drug, after all, they are the trained experts?”
However, to say that a particular drug has received approval is illusionary for the simple reason you cannot do a human drug study based on a flawed principle of diverse variables on the participant’s side. You have between 100 to a few thousand human participants in a new drug study that exemplify different toxic states, varied nutrition levels, stress levels and emotional states, not to mention existing medications the participants have in their systems that react to the new drug chemistry tested.
The only valid way to do a proper drug study is to have set variables of the participants — same environment, same stress levels, same breakfast, same dinner, etc.
The biggest problem is mass advertising influencing the public at large. Suddenly late night TV programs are flooded with drug ad commercials for dozens of prescription drugs promising everything from curing depression, insomnia, arthritis and allergies to baldness.
Until 1997, federal law prohibited the mass advertisement of prescription drugs to the general public for obvious reasons. Licensed doctors prescribed pharmaceuticals solely on a need-to-have basis.
But after heavy lobbying orchestrated by gigantic drug company monopolization, they were able to pad the pockets of senators and representatives with campaign contributions that swayed the vote to favor the drug companies.
The motive was bigger profits by increased sales. Get everybody on a drug whether they need it or not. The
manipulative tactics of unrealistic promises and outright fabrications have given a false impression that you can pop a pill to cure every ill and provide complete immunity from health related problems.
The Houston-Tex.,-based Dr. Gary Tunsky, N.D., is a nationally recognized health expert. This article first appeared in a recent issue of Crusador health newspaper. For subscription information, write P.O. Box 618205, Orlando, Fla., or call (800) 593-6273.
Editor’s comment: This article shows the power of the mass media and the corruption that is endemic in our fascist system. All for the sake of profits, the medical establishment and the medicrats push dangerous drugs just as a candy store pushes sugar to children.
Let’s face it, there is no profit in wellness. The medical establishment is a sickness industry and it can only continue to exist if it has patient who will return for continuing care. And most doctors only play a guessing game in most instances of diagnosis and treatment. Why do you think it is called a “practice?”
A good for instance of this is the recently exposed catastrophe surrounding the pain killer Vioxx. The estimates are that 160,000 have suffered heart attacks or strokes and 60,000 have died from the use of Merck’s $30 billion dollar money maker. Worldwide sales of Vioxx in 2003 were $2.5 billion so it is little wonder that Merck was hesitant to remove it from the market.
And this is just one drug that is typical of the many thousands that are pushed upon an unwary populace that apparently has shown a great deal of misplaced trust in their health professionals.
The hidden scandal surrounding Ritalin and other psychotropic drugs being used to dope up school children is another hidden time bomb in our society.
The medicrats at the FDA have continued to ignore the severe health consequences of pharmaceuticals and food additives that have been either poorly tested or those which have been covered up when the test results would be harmful to the bottom line of the corporate giants.
The artificial sweetener NutraSweet, or aspartame, has long been shown to be dangerous to your health and is shown conclusively in this UPI Investigative Report from 1987. Since that time the evidence against this artificial sweetener which is consumed by the ton in everything from diet soda and chewing gum to “sugar free” foods of all kinds. It is even provided as a table top sweetener by the name of Equal which is used in thousands of restaurants daily by an unsuspecting public.
The list of toxic reactions and detrimental effects and health problems continues to grow, among them symptoms that doctors diagnose as lupus and other debilitating maladies, but are caused by one thing only, NutraSweet poisoning.
The establishment cares not about your health. The only thing that really concerns them is your money, and how they can increase their profits. And the bureaucrats at the FDA are their servants, not yours, which is how it should be. They have violated their fiduciary duty to the public trust placed in them with the founding of this nation.
