Killer Drugs: Once Called “Wonder Drugs”

They are called “wonder drugs” until tragedy strikes. Then, the drugs are only known for what they can do - KILL! Here is your heads up. Read on if you want to cut your odds of being a “wonder drug” victim. 

Too often, the truth is hidden by the wonder of empty promises, mystery, and agendas rather than revealed to be a genuine health benefit. In a September 12, 2007 Associated Press story, it was reported that between 1998 and 2005, deaths have tripled due to widely used drugs. These same drugs were determined to be “safe” by the FDA. In fact, drug-related deaths went from 34,966 to 89,842 in just seven years! The big culprits were: 

Oxycontin (or Oxycodone in generic form)
InsulinVioxx (see our previous article)
Remicade
Paxil 

(Incidentally, if you want to die for your depression, just begin with Paxil!) 

Another warning in the hallways of knowledge is that you should take charge of your own health. Your doctor is most likely a sincere, good-intentioned professional who is just too busy to sort out the facts. Instead they lean on the oft published summaries written by the pharmaceutical industry’s medical staff, and on the short-skirted sales professionals who are no longer schooled in pharmacy. The television ads cry out for you to, “Ask your doctor if (fill in the blank) is right for you.” But, if you are careful to catch it, you can note that some of the cholesterol lowering drugs admit that they will not prevent stroke or heart attacks. 

What’s the Point? 

Why take such medications if the threat of death (which was presented as the medical urgency for improving healthy cholesterol) is, in fact, not substantiated? Further, the medication provides no benefit for life or protection from death. There are many medical professionals who flatly deny the cholesterol theory of cardio health as nothing more than a pharmaceutical fraud. 

A Place for Common Sense

These small, yet clever print alerts are placed in the ads by corporate lawyers who see the same challenges coming to the pharmaceutical industry as hit the tobacco companies. They want you to believe that:

They haven’t done anything wrong. There’s not a malicious bone in their body. (That’s a great legal defense.)

Their motives are sincere. (If their motives are to increase profits at all cost.) 

They have a plan for you. (Their plan is to take your wealth, and in the process, perhaps confuse your body enough that you lose your health too.) 

Life and death are very exacting. Don’t be “like sheep, led to the slaughter.” These lawyers make money in two ways. They have a license to steal and they create confusion by changing black to white. They are highly paid warriors that can create the ultimate calamity and confusion. They are fighters in the war between the practice of medicine and the practice of law who win either way.

So, why listen to the television ads? Why take the drugs when the handwriting is on the wall? If the object of the ads is to put fear in your mind by insinuating that you could have a heart attack or stroke if you do not take their medication, how do you know what your true risk is? The true risk is that you could be wasting your money and quite possibly your future well-being. The con game is exposed. 

Why take the medication? It makes you feel worse, often with aches in the joints, lethargy, and loss of energy. For what? Health? Be clear on this: these ads are talking WEALTH, not HEALTH! 

At USA Health Coach, we are here to alert you about your health, as most of you have probably spent years working on your wealth at the expense of your health. It is your choice whether you want to give up that wealth, believe the hype of the pharmaceutical companies, succumb to the fear tactics, and have your life taken from you through many unpleasant side effects. (Ironically, the only truthful part of those advertisements is told to you by the lawyers – these drugs will not prevent heart attack or stroke!) 

It is an erroneous supposition to believe that fear - the emotional motivator that moves you - is sufficient a reason to believe you are going to die without this medication. In reality, fears are false motivators that rarely come true. 

Think twice. We report, you decide what is right for you.
