The Environment we Live in
125 million Americans suffer at least one chronic disease, everything from
allergies to heart disease. This is 20 million more than doctors had
anticipated. One fifth of Americans have two or more chronic illnesses. The
nation is unprepared to cope with the growing burden of chronic disease, with
annual medical bills alone expected to almost double by 2020.
While doctors
have made major advances in treating certain chronic illnesses, they cause 70
percent of all U.S. deaths, reports the Federal Center for Disease Control.
Consider the following numbers of the leading causes of death in 1997. This information is based on an annual review of death certificates by the National Center for Health Statistics. Interestingly, laws have been passed forbidding the listing of the cause of death on death certificates:
- Heart Disease, 725,790 -- 83 people per hour
- Cancer, 537,390 -- 61 people per hour
- Stroke, 159,390 -- 18 people per hour
- Lung Disease -- 110,637
- Accidents -- 92,191
- Pneumonia and influenza, 88,383
- Diabetes, 62,332
Think we have the best health care in the world? Only 15 percent of the medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence, or in other words 85 percent are not!
The FDA does not actually test drugs, but only reviews studies submitted by drug manufacturers. A drug manufacturer needs to submit only 2 studies showing satisfactory results to get a drug approved by the FDA -- even if there are even mores studies showing the drug causes adverse reactions in an acceptably high number of cases. In a USA TODAY study, they found that more than half the experts hired to advise the government on the safety and effectiveness of medicines had a direct financial interest in the drug or topic they were asked to evaluate. A significant portion of your tax dollars earmarked for health care goes to research patentable drugs that make billions for drug companies!
Over 2,500 drugs are on the market and the average physician is only familiar with about 50 of them, so doctors must rely on the drug companies to keep them abreast of new developments. Most people, including physicians, are not aware of the medical politics, legal machinations and economic sanctions that covertly control the practice of medicine in the United States. If a new therapy, for instance, is introduced the person introducing it often becomes the target of those forces. That is especially true if a new therapy;
- involves a major shift in the scientific paradigm
- if acceptance of the new therapy somehow implies that currently used medical practices are inappropriate, or
- if the new therapy threatens the financial well being of a politically powerful and well established branch of the medical profession.
