Do Prescription Drugs Cause Disease

Today Americans are losing trust in the pharmaceutical companies that make drugs and vaccines. People are even beginning to question the federal agencies that recommend them, due to the devastating side effects and diseases that they produce.


One only needs to watch television to become acquainted with the many so call side effects that prescription drugs have in store for their clients. Many times these side effects are much worse than the actual problem. The lists of scary prescription drugs is long and even the commercials tell you to contact you doctor to decide if this drug is right for you. Some commercials state that if you have been taken a certain drug and feel better, you should not stop.

Even worse than prescription drugs is the use of mandatory vaccinations. This is the case with the vaccine, Gardasil. Gardasil is a vaccine that is supposed to guard young girls against the human papillomavirus (HPV) that can lead to cancer of the cervix, vagina and anus. Several states have proposed requiring the vaccine be given to all schoolgirls entering the 6th grade. The fast track licensure of the vaccine and its universal use recommendation has launched a petition and issued a national press release calling on President Obama, his administration and congress to investigate Gardasil. One obvious question is why more than 10,000 reports of Gardasil-related reaction, injures and deaths being dismissed by federal health officials as “coincidence”.

Serious health problems such as stroke, blood clots, cardiac arrest, seizures, fainting, lupus and even death were associated with the vaccine Gardasil. Regardless of this, the maker of Gardasil, maintains a rather cavalier attitude towards these serious health problems and deaths. As of Sept. 1, 2009, 44 deaths in the U.S. have been reported among females who received Gardacil.

Other vaccines have also come into question in the past. Over the past 27 years the stories of deaths and brain damage that have been reported to the National Vaccine Information Center have not changed. A trusting parent takes a bright, healthy child to a doctor for a routine vaccination and that child is never the same again.

Prescription drugs can cause liver damage in several ways. Some drugs are directly injurious to the liver. Others are transformed by the liver, into chemicals that can be injurious to the liver. The toxicity of drugs is difficult to detect in early trials with only a few thousand patients. Many times toxicity will only surface after millions of patients begin to receive the drug after the drug is approved by the FDA and is on the market.

The huge profits made on drugs in this country may be one reason people have become skeptical about prescription drugs but it has also been suggested that the pharmaceutical industry may even be manufacturing new diseases to create drugs for. In fact, a group of doctors accused drug companies of inventing fictitious diseases to sell more prescription drugs. The Royal College of General Practitioners in the UK has accused drug companies of inventing fictitious diseases or exaggeration the severity of symptoms in order to boost their sales. Some of the over-hyped conditions include hypertension, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, anxiety and clinical depression. The college says that these diseases are inappropriately treated with drugs and that many of the physicians who have prescribed these drugs have financial ties with the pharmaceutical companies. In response, a spokesperson for the pharmaceutical industry in the UK actually said, ‘The Royal College of General Practitioners is suffering from argumentative disease and we have a drug for that.’

You can’t patient a disease so the next best thing is to patient the toxic chemical that you claim will treat the symptoms of that disease.
This is how Ritalin became popular. They invented a disease and gave it the name, “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder”. Now many little kids take this drug, when in reality their only problem may just be too much sugar in their diet.
Of course the ultimate goal of the pharmaceutical industry is to legislate the existence of a disease so the law will order the mandatory use of their drugs. In that case if a parent disagrees or believes a drug is dangerous, the state can come in and take the child away or force the drug to be given. If this idea disturbs you or causes you to be depressed, don’t worry; the drug companies have antidepressants for you.
