From time to time I have people asking me about why they should choose “natural alternatives” such as Acupuncture, Chiropractic, massage therapy, mediation, and making an effort toward healthy eating choices over “just taking a pill.”

Their reasoning is that taking a pill is faster and cheaper than the natural alternatives.  According to a study undertaken by a group of scientists … taking that pill, or that short visit to the hospital  may just kill you.

Here is a summary of the study. Be sure to click on the link below and browse through the entire article. If you are leaning toward “just taking a pill,”  it will shock the socks right off of you!

STUDY SUMMARY

A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good. The number of people having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed medicine is 2.2 million.¹ Dr. Richard Besser, of the CDC, in 1995, said the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections was 20 million. Dr. Besser, in 2003, now refers to tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics.^{2, 2a}

The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million.³ The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million.⁴ 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. The 2001 heart disease annual death rate is 699,697; the annual cancer death rate, 553,251.⁵
