"The doctor is to be feared more than the disease."----Latin proverb
[Allopathy is the leading cause of death, 783,936 every year in the USA. Smallpox vaccination killed millions over the centuries.]
Vioxx killed up to 140,000 people after being ‘proved safe’ in animals, including monkeys.
[2009 March] Hundreds of deaths linked to schizophrenia drug clozapine Fifty people die each year and hundreds more suffer serious side-effects as the result of taking powerful tranquillisers prescribed by the NHS....Data from the medicine watchdog’s own reporting scheme suggests that clozapine, a drug taken by schizophrenia patients, has been linked to 950 deaths since being licensed in 1990 — equivalent to nearly one fatality a week.

Most Astonishing Health Disaster of the 20th Century.
For over 100 years conventional medicine has seized control of the US
health care system and as a result we have over 800,000 people who are killed by
interacting with this system. It is likely that over 50 million Americans have
died prematurely from this abuse
Quotes
"I was completely shocked, amazed, and dismayed when I first added up
all the statistics on medical death and saw how much allopathic medicine has
betrayed us."---Carolyn Dean, MD
"Pharmaceutical companies spent $2 billion on over 314,000 events that doctors attend...in 1991 the drug industry "gave" $2.1 billion million to colleges and universities for research."
The total number of iatrogenic deaths shown in the following table is 783,936. It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. Death by Medicine----Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, Martin Feldman, MD, Gary Null, PhD, Debora Rasio, MD (2003/4)
"An analysis by Wald & Shojan [2001] found that only 1.5% of all adverse events result in an incident report, and only 6% of adverse drug events are identified properly....The Psychiatric Times noted that the AMA is strongly opposed to mandatory reporting of medical errors...Dr Jay Cohen, who has extensively researched adverse drug reactions (ADR), commented that because only 5% of ADRs are being reported, there are in reality, 5 million medications reactions each year." Death by Medicine----Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, Martin Feldman, MD, Gary Null, PhD, Debora Rasio, MD (2003/4)
In 2001, there were 7.5 million unnecessary surgical procedures, resulting in 37,136 deaths at a cost of $122 billion (using 174 US dollars) Death by Medicine----Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, Martin Feldman, MD, Gary Null, PhD, Debora Rasio, MD (2003/4)
The OTA concluded: “There are no mechanisms in
place to limit dissemination of technologies regardless of their clinical
value.” Shortly after the release of this report, the OTA was disbanded. Death by Medicine----Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, Martin

In 1983, 809,000 cesarean sections (21% of live births) were performed in the
US, making it the nation's most common obstetric-gynecologic (OB/GYN) surgical
procedure. The second most common OB/GYN operation was hysterectomy (673,000),
followed by diagnostic dilation and curettage of the uterus (632,000). In 1983,
OB/GYN procedures represented 23% of all surgery completed in the US.
In 2001, cesarean section is still
the most common OB/GYN surgical procedure. Approximately 4 million births occur
annually, with 24% (960,000) delivered by cesarean section. In the Netherlands,
only 8% of births are delivered by cesarean section. This suggests 640,000
unnecessary cesarean sections—entailing three to four times higher mortality and
20 times greater morbidity than vaginal delivery—are performed annually in the
US.
The US cesarean rate rose from just
4.5% in 1965 to 24.1% in 1986. Sakala contends that an “uncontrolled pandemic of
medically unnecessary cesarean births is occurring.”(106)
VanHam reported a cesarean section postpartum hemorrhage rate of 7%, a hematoma
formation rate of 3.5%, a urinary tract infection rate of 3%, and a combined
postoperative morbidity rate of 35.7% in a high-risk population undergoing
cesarean section. Death by Medicine----Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, Martin

Results of the “Million Women Study” on HRT
and breast cancer in the UK were published in
medical journal The Lancet in August
2003. According to lead author Prof. Valerie
Beral, director of the Cancer Research UK
Epidemiology Unit: "We estimate that over the
past decade, use of HRT by UK women aged 50-64
has resulted in an extra 20,000 breast cancers,
estrogen-progestagen (combination) therapy
accounting for 15,000 of these.”
We were unable to find statistics on breast
cancer, stroke, uterine cancer, or heart disease
caused by HRT used by American women. Because
the US population is roughly six times that of
the UK, it is possible that 120,000 cases of
breast cancer have been caused by HRT in the
past decade.
