The drugs don’t work: a modern medical scandal

'The doctors prescribing the drugs don’t know they don’t do what they’re meant to. Nor do their patients. The manufacturers know full well, but they’re not telling.

Reboxetine is a drug I have prescribed. Other drugs had done nothing for my patient, so we wanted to try something new. I’d read the trial data before I wrote the prescription, and found only well-designed, fair tests, with overwhelmingly positive results. 

Reboxetine was better than a placebo, and as good as any other antidepressant in head-to-head comparisons. It’s approved for use by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (the MHRA), which governs all drugs in the UK. Millions of doses are prescribed every year, around the world. Reboxetine was clearly a safe and effective treatment. The patient and I discussed the evidence briefly, and agreed it was the right treatment to try next. I signed a prescription.

But we had both been misled.'

Scandal at the FDA: Board Members with Drug Maker Ties Voted to Approve Drug that's Killing Women

'An investigation by the Washington Monthly and the British Medical Journal determined that at least four members of an FDA advisory board which voted to approve a drug used in the birth control pills Yaz and Yasmin had either done work for the drugs' manufacturer or received research funds from the manufacturer. Though the four committee members disclosed their ties to the FDA, the FDA decided that the ties did not matter and did not make the disclosures public. Tragically, the drugs the committee endorsed have been killing the women who take them.'

100,000 Americans Die Each Year from Prescription Drugs, While Pharma Companies Get Rich

'The study estimating that 100,000 Americans die each year from their prescriptions looked only at deaths from known side effects. That is, those deaths didn’t happen because the doctor made a mistake and prescribed the wrong drug, or the pharmacist made a mistake in filling the prescription, or the patient accidentally took too much.

Unfortunately, thousands of patients die from such mistakes too, but this study looked only at deaths where our present medical system wouldn’t fault anyone. Tens of thousands of people are dying every year from drugs they took just as the doctor directed. This shows you how dangerous medications are.'

Poisoning by prescription drugs on the rise

'Poisoning is now the second leading cause of unintentional injury death in the U.S. While several recent high-profile Hollywood celebrity cases have brought the problem to public attention, the rates of unintentional poisoning deaths have been on the rise for more than 15 years, and in fact, unintentional poisoning has surpassed motor vehicle crashes as the leading cause of unintentional injury death among people 35-54 years of age. In a study published in the May issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers found that hospitalizations for poisoning by prescription opioids, sedatives and tranquilizers in the U.S. have increased by 65% from 1999 to 2006.'

Death by Modern Medicine

Image via Wikipedia

Death by Modern Medicine" is the winner of the 2006 Independent Publisher Book Awards, Most Progressive Health book.

"Death by Modern Medicine" was written by Dr. Carolyn Dean MD, ND, and Trueman Tuck, Rights Advocate, and goes far beyond the statistics of deaths due to drugs. It shows how the allopathic medical monopoly has created a Health Care system that fails to encourage good health, especially by prevention. "Death by Modern Medicine" documents the tales of propaganda, health care bureaucracy, and the focus on profits instead of healing. It shows, statistically, that the number 1 killer in North America, is in fact, one of the most heavily regulated products, services and facilities industry in North America - The Allopathic Medical Disease Industry.

YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT "THEY" WANT YOU SICK AND DYING EXPENSIVELY.

You will find, in this 400 plus page book, the starting steps to understanding the difference between a "profit from disease" health care focused business and a patient centered health care system. "Death by Modern Medicine" provides the evidence from the "Allopathic Investment Industrys" own data that the worst "Pandemic" in modern times is deliberately not only created, but also perpetuated by the "Allopathic Disease Investment Industry " interests, AND by government and public sector unions.

As Dr. Dean Makes crystal clear in this very importan book, mordern medicine is our number one cause of death.
-- Dr. Julian Whitaker

When Dr. Carolyn Dean talks, I listen. I like her willingness to tell the truth. I like her ability to talk sense and science from the heart. And I especially like her absolute committment to "caring for health" instead of busi­ness-as-usual health care. The book you are holding is going to change your life and the way you view health care, even if you never read it. Youcan put it down, but you can't continue to pretend that modern medicine is well. It isn't, and that is a threat not only to your own health, but to thelife and health of those you love. So, buy this book and pay attention to the words of Dr. Dean. When Dr. Carolyn Dean speaks, I listen.
-- Susan S Weed, author New Meopausal Years the Wise Woman Way

A remarkably courageous, insightful, stirring and passionately written expose of the deadly truths behind the facade of “modern medicine,” this work will set the standard for lucid, credible, and accurate under­standing in defense of rational, logical, natural healing paradigm for generations to come.
-- James Bowman MD, DC, ND

When I went to medical school in the early fifties, I embraced all heartily the noble oath of Hypocrites “Prima non nocere” and so did all who preceded me and some who followed. What has happened in the past half century to make conventional Physicians dispensers of death rather than Health? Dr. Carolyn Dean in her book walks the reader step by step through the dynamics of this incredible shift. She does this with passion and incredible clarity so that her powerful message doesn't get marred by personal opinions but draws strength from facts and statistics. This book covers everything that has been said by other courageous Physicians and much more. You need to go no further to have all the facts you need to save your Family and friends from the ignominy of Big Pharma’s plot to convert us into cash cows. Dr. Dean doesn't stop her lyric penmanship at the "J’accuse”; she gently tells you what to do to stay clear of the industry of death. My dear friend has done a service to humanity with her opus magnus I pray this to be a best-seller to spread the gospel of “good health” on earth.
-- Serafina Corselo MD, Author of The Ageless Woman

Dr. Dean's book is absolutely essential for all those wishing to understand the present crisis in medical care in the modern world. The goal of the medical elite and their corporate/governmental handlers, is the eradication of independent thought outside their control. As shown in this book, your very lives and health are at stake..
-- Russel Blaylock MD, Neurosurgeon and author of Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life.

That we will all die is self-evident, but how we live our lives and the quality with which we die is less so. Dr. Dean points out many of the pitfalls of modern “improved” living making our lives less high-quality and even causing early death. Each of us has the unique ability to make our lives as high quality as we can and often to make our deaths “high quality” as well. She has given us much-need information to help us in these decisions.
-- Margaret Mulins MD,
Founder and Past Chair of American Medical Women’s Association Complementary and Integrative Medicine

A brilliant and compassionate researcher, Dr. Carolyn Dean wants to save you and your family from the deadly scourge of mispracticed medicine. The facts in this text may well save your health, your life and your bank account. Read it and live.
-- Dr. Betty Martini, Founder, Mission Possible International

Dr. Carolyn Dean has provided us with overwhelming proof that our current, highly-regulated medical system has not delivered the safety and efficacy our government claims it provides. I believe it is time for ordinary citizens to demand real medical and health choice so we can make our own decisions without government interference. To do this, I recommend each of us send copies of Death by Modern Medicine to our own elected public servants just as the Sons of Liberty tossed the tea into Boston Harbor to make their demand for freedom clear. Our lives may depend upon it.
-- Elissa Meininger, Co-Founder Health Freedom Action Network
