Guest guest Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 This one is taken from a book called " The Germ That Causes Cancer " , by Doug A. Kaufmann. " In 1998, a report in U.S. News and World Report referenced The Journal of the American Medical Association and the respected medical journal The Lancet to say that prescribed medications were the fourth leading cause of death -- which meant they killed over 100,000 Americans every year. The 1998 U.S. News article went on to say, 'You're more apt to die from prescription medications than from an accident, pneumonia, or diabetes.' A separate article used the same references and related that an additional 1.5 million people were injured each year due to prescription medications. But it gets worse. The July 26, 2000, issue of JAMA reported that medical and pharmaceutical errors had become the third leading cause of death in America " How come doctors, parmaceutical companies and cigarette companies can legally kill people so easily? What a bunch of BS! No matter how much wrong they do, and no matter how many friends and loved ones die each year at their hand, people keep seeing doctors until they themselves ultimately become a statistic.
