The number of people having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed medicine is 2.2 million.1
Adverse Drug Reactions:106,000 Deaths annually
As few as 5 percent and only up to 20 percent of iatrogenic acts are ever reported.16,24,25,33,34
The ABC report also noted that a survey of clinical trials revealed that when a drug company funds a study, there is a 90 percent chance that the drug will be perceived as effective whereas a non-drug company-funded study will show favorable results 50 percent of the time. It appears that money canât buy you love but it can buy you any "scientific" result you want.
In one very telling report, the General Accounting Office (an agency of the U.S. Government) "found that of the 198 drugs approved by the FDA between 1976 and 1985 ⦠102 (or 51.5 percent) had serious post-approval risks ⦠the serious post-approval risks (included) heart failure, myocardial infarction, anaphylaxis, respiratory depression and arrest, seizures, kidney and liver failure, severe blood disorders, birth defects and fetal toxicity, and blindness."47
Flushed down our toilets are tons of drugs and drug metabolites that also find their way into our water supply. We have no idea what the long-term consequences of ingesting a mixture of drugs and drug-breakdown products will do to our health. Itâs another level of iatrogenic disease that we are unable to completely measure.58-67
