Death By Medicine Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The medical environment has become a labyrinth of interlocking corporate, hospital, and governmental boards of directors, infiltrated by the drug companies. Drug company representatives write glowing articles about pharmaceuticals, which are then signed by physicians paid handsomely for their cooperation, though they may not know the adverse side effects of the drugs they promote. The most toxic substances are often approved first, while milder and more natural alternatives are ignored for financial reasons. It's death by medicine.

Of course what's written in this book is based on facts. Facts which among other tells us that the bad, wrong, or too much, drugs is the number one killer. That's killing more persons than either cancer or heart attacks. And besides that cancer or heart attacks can be the result of the drugs used. Besides, in the book, we realize how bad many old persons are living in the old people's home, and thereby, among other, that many die to early as the result of bedsores.The book is mostly based on facts about what's actually going on in USA, but as a Danish citizen I know, and can see, that Denmark is fast following suit. So the book is just as good, and important, for warning people living in other countries than USA. That is, if they there not already have it equal, then the historical development, by the biggest chance, with time will result in the getting to the same.Among other we in the book, as started on side 148, are being reminded how scientists once claimed that there weren't enough studies which proved that there were dangers of DDT, and besides, that in 1964, the American Medical Association claimed that there were no prove showing that tobacco could result in lung cancer! And now a days we daily in the news are reading that only the patented drugs cures the sicknesses, versus that the natural medicine, vitamins and minerals, don't work or even are harmful. I would like to live so long that I can hear what we in the future will be told about these patented drugs, like for example the painkiller Vioxx.And in the book, we concerning radiation used for control, we among other read that for a full body having computed tomography, gives the same risk for getting cancer are equal to being within a mile away from a World War II atom bomb explosion!
This is a book/DVD combination that reveals that hundreds of thousands of deaths occur in the United States every year as the result of medical error. The author concludes that this number of deaths from iatrogenesis (illness induced by medical treatment itself) is equivalent to three jumbo jets crashing in the U.S. every day - a far greater daily casualty than was sustained by the 9/11 attacks. What's more, many of these deaths occur at the end of some lingering, confusing suffering rather than in one quick blow.The book is a broadside of statistics citing estimates of the number of injuries and deaths that result from such medical causes as errors made in the prescription of drugs, drug combinations, infections acquired in hospitals, surgical miscounts, etc.The fact that so few people are worrying about this terrible annual body count, while they focus on the casualties of war and terrorism - is one of the mysteries and one of the outrages of economically advanced countries. Gary Null does a great service by attempting to call people's attention to these astonishingly high morbidity and mortality rates.However, this book has a few failings. The text itself is generally a dry recitation, devoid of any emotional appeal that might rally readers to action. At first, I thought the book might be just a transcript of the included DVD, and might therefore need to be bolstered by images. But no - the DVD contains different information and includes some more detailed accounts of personal suffering in the wake of careless, uncaring medical treatment. So text and DVD each stand on their own.The second problem with the text is that it contains a contradiction common to many such analyses of the failings of our medical system.
