"THE 3RD BIGGEST CAUSE OF DEATH!" by Warren Matthews

It will surprise you!

Did you know that if you become ill and you put yourself in the hands

of 'mainstream' medical care and need to be admitted to a hospital that the chances of you dying from

an unrelated problem are high?

In fact, in the USA, deaths

from 'iatrogenic' cause rank

# 3 after Heart Diseases and Cancer!

Let me explain what 'iatrogenic' means. This is a term used when a patient dies as a direct result of treatments by a physician, whether it is from misdiagnosis of the ailment or from adverse drug reactions used to treat the illness. (drug reactions are the most common cause).

This article will provide you with some facts which you should be aware of. I am not presenting these facts in

order to have a 'shot' at physicians or indeed for that matter, hospitals.

'HEALTH CARE SYSTEM' IS OUT OF CONTROL!

The facts you are about to read are purely symptoms of a system that is largely out of control. Out of control, thanks largely to the overbearing influence that the

pharmaceutical industry has on mainstream medicine.

Mainstream medicine has for some decades now placed more emphasis on medical intervention as opposed to primary care, prevention, and helping the body heal itself by natural methods.

The negative results of these policies which can never work are becoming more apparent each year. To determine

how serious the problem is you need to consider some statistics. Ironically the most reliable statistics have

been published in none other than the JOURNAL of the AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (JAMA) Vol 284, No 4,

July 26th 2000.

The researcher who wrote the article is Dr Barbara Starfield, MD, MPH, of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health.

Now let's review what Dr Starfield has unearthed!

'THE FACTS' Are...

2,000 deaths/year from unnecessary surgery

7,000 deaths/year from medication errors in hospitals

20,000 deaths/year from other errors in hospitals

80,000 deaths/year from nosocomial infections in hospitals

106,000 deaths/year from non-error, adverse effects of medications

These total up to 225,000 deaths per year in the US from iatrogenic causes which ranks these deaths as the # 3 killer.

Well above motor vehicle accidents and violent crime.

One of the most sobering components of these statistics, although I don't find it surprising is that 106,000 of these deaths result from CORRECTLY prescribed medications. In other words the

physicians were not to blame. They just administered the drugs as per the manufacturer's recommendations.

MORE DEATHS FROM LEGAL DRUGS THAN FROM ILLICIT ONES

Fascinating isn't it... when you consider that deaths from legal drugs far exceed deaths from illicit drugs and yet these deaths go virtually unnoticed and nobody makes a fuss!

Dr Starfield also warns that these figures only tell one part of the overall story.
