Researchers Find That Conventional Medicine is the Leading Cause of Death and Disability in the United States!

 28th August 2004

Research compiled by Gary Null, Ph.D., Carol Dean, M.D., Martin Feldman, M.D., and their associates has shown that conventional medicine, previously considered to be the third leading cause of death in the United States, is in fact the leading cause of death, and by a significant margin. 

Their findings, published in October 2003 in the paper “Death By Medicine” by the Nutrition Institute of America, were determined following a “definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics”.  According to the data, over 780,000 Americans die each year as a direct result of conventional medical procedures and/or medications.  This compares to the approximately 700,000 Americans who die each year due to heart disease, and the approximately 550,000 who die due to cancer. 

In addition, the researchers also found that 2.2 million Americans are injured each year from prescription drugs alone, while 7.5 million “unnecessary” medical and surgical procedures are performed, and 8.9 million Americans are “needlessly” hospitalized during the same twelve-month period.  Moreover, health care costs in the U.S. will total $1.6 trillion dollars in 2003, accounting for 14% of the nation’s gross national product (GNP). 

Commenting on the findings, one of the researchers, Dr. Carol Dean, M.D. said, “I was completely shocked, amazed, and dismayed when I first added up all the statistics on medical death and saw how much allopathic medicine has betrayed us”. 

Before dismissing the above conclusions as “unbelievable”, you are urged to read the report in its entirety (30 pages), because the figures cited above don’t come close to telling the full story about conventional medicine’s dismal failure as a provider of health care. 

CONCLUSION (extracted from the report): 

When the number one killer in a society is the healthcare system, then that system has no excuse except to address its own urgent shortcomings.  It’s a failed system in need of immediate attention. 

What we have outlined in this paper are insupportable aspects of our contemporary medical system that need to be changed - beginning at its very foundation!
