-Caveat Lector- What Is Iatrogenesis? http://cmo-usa.com/iatro.html According to Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary: "Iatrogenesis is: Any adverse or physical condition induced in a patient through the effects of treatment by a physician or surgeon." According to many published sources, including The Journal of the American Medical Association, Some 225,000 U S Citizens die each year from Iatrogenesis conditions. The breakdown is roughly as follows: 12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgery 27,000 deaths due to treatment errors in hospitals 80,000 deaths due to infections contracted in hospitals 106,000 deaths from adverse drug side effects from physician prescribed drugs After heart disease and cancer, prescription drugs are the third largest killer ahead of all other diseases, accidents, murder, and illegal drugs. Questions: Where is the outrage? Why is there no publicity, or public outcry about Iatrogenesis, the third largest killer in the USA? Why do we allow Pharmaceutical companies to advertise their drugs like candy on TV? Why is the FDA and the FTC doing their best to generally discredit, and suppress, natural supplements, and other alternative methods, many of us use to maintain and support good health? Why have supplement and vitamin sales skyrocketed in the past 6 years? Protect yourself by becoming educated.
