Prescription Drugs: #1 Cause of Illness, Disability and Death

"Presciption drugs are making us sick, killing us, and causing more personal and corporate bankruptcy and breaking more homes than we can count," says Richard Ruhling, MD, MPH. His figures are based on medical literature, General Motors retiree medical costs, the countless number of small businesses and individuals that file for bankruptcy for medical reasons, and the broken homes resulting from the #1 issue, financial problems/medical costs.

Hi, I'm Dr. Richard Ruhling, an MD who taught Health Science at Loma Linda University where I was responsible for Executive Health. I'm not selling anything; but this information can save you or a loved one from death and medical problems. Having been board-certified in internal medicine, I'm more qualified than most to tell you this--
Medical journals support that 300 million people in the U.S. are made sick enough to see a doctor each year because of a reaction to a drug and a million die, but most cases are blamed on a heart attack, like with Vioxx.
Those drug are "properly prescribed and administered," but people become toxic to a medicine after weeks, months or years of taking it. They are chemicals, not food, and when people get a headache or some other reaction, they don't think of their medicine as the cause. It has become a friend to them for controlling their blood pressure, blood sugar or cholesterol so they can eat more liberally than their medical condition would suggest. Journal of American Medical Assoc, 4-15-1998.
With a new headache or stomach ache, they go to the doctor and get another prescription, but now they are on a slippery slope. They needed to stop the drug that was causing the problem, but the 2nd prescription masks the symptom of toxicity and it's only a matter of time until a more serious event occurs.

We should have known this from the #1 best-selling book of all times, the Bible. It warns us to come out of Babylon (the confused systems of government, health, education, welfare and religion) that are ruining the world, "for by her sorceries [the Greek word is pharmakeia] were all nations deceived," Revelation 18:4,23.
Since the Bible is not easy to read, let me offer you a free download of my favorite book that explains much wisdom, Health & Happiness. from a biblical view that is non-denominational. You can get it by visiting www.ChooseABetterDestiny.com and clicking on the link at the bottom, #12. You don't even have to give your email or name!
You will be blessed as you read Health & Happiness. The owner of the Palm Springs Hilton Riviera Hotel loved it, put it in every hotel room, and when he died, left $10 to Loma Linda University founded by the author.
Yours for Health& Happiness,
Richard Ruhling, MD, MPH
PS: The author understood the dangers of drugs and wrote this insightful statement 100 years ahead of medical science, published in 1905--
"A practice that is laying the foundation of a vast amount of disease and of even more serious evils is the free use of poisonous drugs. When attacked by disease, many will not take the trouble to search out the cause of their illness. Their chief anxiety is to rid themselves of pain and inconvenience. So they resort to patent nostrums, of whose real properties they know little, or they apply to a physician for some remedy to counteract the result of their misdoing, but with no thought of making a change in their unhealthful habits. If immediate benefit is not realized, another medicine is tried, and then another. Thus the evil continues.
"People need to be taught that drugs do not cure disease. It is true that they sometimes afford present relief, and the patient appears to recover as the result of their use; this is because nature has sufficient vital force to expel the poison and to correct the conditions that caused the disease. Health is recovered in spite of the drug. But in most cases the drug only changes the form and location of the disease. Often the effect of the poison seems to be overcome for a time, but the results remain in the system and work great harm at some later period.
"By the use of poisonous drugs, many bring upon themselves lifelong illness, and many lives are lost that might be saved by the use of natural methods of healing. The poisons contained in many so-called remedies create habits and appetites that mean ruin to both soul and body. Many of the popular nostrums called patent medicines, and even some of the drugs dispensed by physicians, act a part in laying the foundation of the liquor habit, the opium habit, the morphine habit, that are so terrible a curse to society.
"The only hope of better things is in the education of the people in right principles. Let physicians teach the people that restorative power is not in drugs, but in nature. Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health. In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected. Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system.
Natural Remedies
"Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power--these are the true remedies. Every person should have a knowledge of nature's remedial agencies and how to apply them." Health & Happiness, pg 126,127.
This is simply saying what Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine said, "Nature cures, not the physician...Let your food be your medicine."
