I often ask you if you know anyone that can benefit from the care given at QHC and here is one reason why...
DID YOU KNOW?
-that
a jumbo jet load of people die everyday of iatrogenic cause? That means
that doctors cause the death. Do they do that individually? NO. It is
the entire medical system that allows this to happen.
By
Gary Null PhD, Carolyn Dean MD ND, Martin Feldman MD, Debora Rasio
MD, Dorothy Smith PhD
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 [induced inadvertently by a physician
or surgeon or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures] deaths is 783,936. 58,000
people died in the Vietnam War another 304,000 were wounded. People
took to the streets and protested the senseless killing. Where are they
now? It's not just about feeling good. It's
about SAVING LIVES. This is not saying that MD's are wrong. The medical
system is broken and these figures show that. We cannot keep throwing
money at this problem. Tell everyone you know that there is another way
to health and wellness. Don't keep this a secret. They need to know. The more healing we each do, the more we give others the chance to heal and in turn we heal our planet.
