The Opioid Scandal has been running now for many years. These dreadful pharmaceutical drugs are addictive. And they have been killing millions of patients throughout the world.
And so what is happening? Political parties, in the lead up to a General Election, are desperately trying to out-bid each other in promises to spend more and more on the NHS = conventional medicine = more pharmaceutical drugs = more pain relief = more opioid drugs!
And this is a vote winner! The promises of increased expenditure on conventional medicine is wanted, demanded by the public - largely because they not not know or fully understand the harm that it is doing to them. Doctors don't tell them. The NHS doesn't tell them. Political parties don't tell them. Governments don't tell them. The media doesn't tell them.
So patients are left in almost total ignorance, accepting the drugs and vaccines given to them by doctors as they don't believe doctors would knowingly or willing harm them. But they are.
The study itself says this
"Prescription drugs can cause iatrogenic harm in the form of misuse, dependence, and poisonings. In the US, the opioid crisis is a serious public health problem and was driven in part by increasing opioid prescriptions. In the UK, rates of opioid ..... use are known to be increasing, with a corresponding increase in reports of related harms, such as mortality and morbidity. It is necessary to investigate these trends further, and whether deprivation is driving increased rates at a GP practice population and CCG level."
Surely more than investigation is required! Action needs to be taken, and if 'first do no harm' is genuinely taken seriously by the conventional medical establishment these pharmaceutical drugs should be BANNED forthwith.
And instead, the NHS should start looking towards natural medical therapies, such as homeopathy, naturopathy, osteopathy, acupuncture, eta al, to step into the breach that has been caused by the monopoly it has given to conventional medicine over the last 70+ years.
- If any other industry was causing this type of devastation, for so many years, action would have been taken years ago.
DOCTORS ARE PRESCRIBING MORE OF THEM - YEAR ON YEAR!
A study has found that English doctors have been using an ever-increasing amount of opioid drugs, gabapentin, pregabalin and oxycodone, during the last five years (2013-2018) - quite regardless of the burgeoning crisis, and the epidemic levels of addiction and death caused by them.
Indeed, a Public Health England review found that about 1 in 4 adults are now being prescribed addictive medicines.
And in case English doctors were not aware of what they were doing, the research was outlined to them in their own E-magazine, Pulse, on 18th November 2019. So what was the conclusion of this research?
"The experience of the prescription drug misuse epidemic in the US
should serve as an early warning to England’s NHS and prompt action to
better understand the underlying explanations for the increases in
prescribing, and the variation in prescribing rates between GPs and
between CCGs."
- So there is no advice to doctors to stop prescribing them.
- There is no move to ban these drugs - because of the harm they are causing.
"... the study highlighted that GPs are limited with options for chronic pain treatment.'
This is an admission that conventional medicine not only uses dangerous pharmaceutical drugs - but that it HAS TO prescribe these drugs - BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO USE. Doctors have to use them - they have no better or safer alternatives. As the GP magazine Pulse admits in its article, when it comes to addictive painkillers, doctors "are between a rock and a hard place'.
And so doctors will continue to be allowed to prescribe them. Imagine any other industry that was causing harm, and allowed to continue causing harm! We have nothing better to offer you than this, we know it will harm you, but we are prepared to give it to you! It is quite an amazing situation.
- the Hippocratic principle "first, do no harm" is jettisoned
- there is an admission that the 'precautionary principle' has no place in conventional medicine
