Worldwide spending on Pharmaceutical drugs hit $600 billion in 2005. The
U.S. spent $1.9 trillion, or 15% of the economy for “Health
Care”. This $1.9 trillion is expected to hit $3 trillion by
2011. Now let’s not forget the U.S. ranked 73 (right behind
Puerto Rico) in effective national healthcare in a recent
survey. Makes you proud to be an American doesn’t it.
What is driving these high numbers? Obviously prescription drugs
are the main problem. Their toxicity is not only causing
patients to have extra health checkups and testing, but
abhorrent drug treatments are causing inflammatory conditions.
This is causing a situation called Problem, Reaction, Solution.
Drug companies create the toxicity problem, spread a reaction
through advertising, then offer a pharmaceutical solution. Works
in Allopathic Medicine as well as government deceptions.
Here is a list of the top 5 pharmaceutical best sellers.
5. Lipitor - $12.9 billion
4. Plavix - $5.9 billion
3. Nexium - $5.7 billion
2. Adair - $5.6 billion
1. Zocar - $5.3 billion
If you are currently taking one or more of these drugs please
stand up and take a bow. Ok, I’ll stop being silly. Are these
companies going to stop their foolish behaviors? Probably not,
and why should they? They are in a business to make profits.
Fair enough. Everyone deserves their day in the sun. Drugs
designed to save lives in crisis situations deserve our thanks.
Drugs that take lives by crippling innocent victims due to
toxicity do not. Remember, you have a choice. Preventing disease
by eating live foods may be your first choice. Using common
sense with snack foods, alcohol may also be an important health
choice. Drink plenty of water as well as cutting back on grains
when your physical activity lessens may also be a wise decision.
We can work together to lower this tremendous debt or nation has
incurred. The Natural Medicine Clinic will help you organize
your daily eating habits and clearly define boundaries between
helpful and harmful food and beverage choices. Everyday you can
make a difference.
