More proof about the dangers of pharmaceutical drugs, the one's dispensed by the NHS to patients each and every day, continues to come through thick and fast. Rarely are these reported in the mainstream media, or come to the attention of the majority of people. Rarely are the disease- and death-inducing effects (DIEs) predicted in advance by medical science. The randomised controlled tests that very drug is put through prior to being given to patients seem to be entirely useless. It is only when patients are subjected to these drugs (on the basis that they will help them) that it is found they are harmful, and dangerous.
So here are just a few, the merest handful, of reports that have appeared on the internet over the last week or so about ConMed drugs.
* Huge rise in MRSA linked to childhood antibiotics.
* Seven (common) drugs that can kill children with a single pill (reported in the Dr Mercola website, and in ABC News 18 March 2010).
* HRT drugs shown to cause asthma (reported in Guardian blog, 8 February 2010, and in Natural News, 5 April 2010).
* Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs kill 2,500 a year in the UK (Natural News, quoting research published in Times On Line as long ago as 28 September 2006).
* Prostate cancer drug boosts heart disease risk (Natural News, 6 April 2010).
No wonder an increasing number of people are questioning whether taking pharmaceutical drugs is a sensible thing to do, and are looking for safer alternative therapies.
The bigger problem, though, is that despite the growing amount of evidence for the damage caused by conventional drugs, the NHS, and the wider health establishment, continues to deny the level of disease and death they are causing. Indeed, most patients do not understand the dangers and full implications of taking pharmaceutical drugs - because they are so often, and so frequently denied by the Department of Health, the NHS, the MHRA, and other conventional medical spokespersons.
This is why it is so absurd for the medical establishment (and the denialists who regularly contribute to this blog) to suggest that homeopathy, and other CAM therapies, are dangerous. At the moment, only those people who can afford to pay for homeopathy can get access to it. Those who cannot have to rely on conventional medicine, and they are paying a heavy price for it - through their health.
