Dangers of overuse of prescription medication

The dangers of overuse of prescription medication

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but Will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
--Thomas Edison

The more we read about prescription medicines the more convinced we are that if at all possible, stay away.

Western medicine is concerned solely with treating the symptoms of a condition after they become visible. Treatment of these symptoms mostly involves prescribing some kind of product produced by "Big Pharma".

Truth be told most doctors don’t know what the drug contains and get most of their information from the drug reps that call on them. "Kinda" the fox watching the hen house.

Deaths from prescription drugs have moved to the number four killer of Americans with over 100,000 dying annually. This is roughly three times the number killed each year in automobile accidents.

Eastern medicine on the other hand deals primarily with disease prevention. In historic China a doctor was considered incompetent if one of his patients fell ill.

We as Americans need to begin to take a more active prevention stance when it comes to our health.
