FDA Ignoring Over 100,000 Annual Deaths from Prescriptions

100,000 Die from Prescriptions Every Year

Yet, apparently that's a-okay with the US Govt since nothing at all is done about it. Drug ads continue to state the side effects include death, yet no big outrage there either. Yet an herbal product is "claimed" to have contributed to less than 20 deaths and the FDA yanks that right off the market! This is ridiculous. I'm sick of being run by big pharmacy.

Between the drug companies and the banks we are being held hostage. Banks run this country, and drug companies are making sure everyone in the country is on some prescription including tiny children. Stop the madness.

How to Get Healthier and Stay Out of Doctor's Offices?

Start with what you eat. Yes, you've heard it before and you'll hear it again and again. The food supply in the United States of American is simply horrible. There is no way to test the safety of our food supply, and recalls are announced months after products have sold. I heard one recently for pistachio nuts that had been sold three months prior. When's the last time you bought a bag of nuts and didn't eat them pretty much right away?

Why Buy Organic and/or So Called "Natural" Foods?

Because the quality of our food supply and distribution is horrifying. According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) each year 76 million cases of foodborne illness occur and more than 300,000 persons are hospitalized and 5,000 die from foodborne illness. And the media went crazy went less than 20 people died from the recent swine flu outbreak!?!

Yet Far More Die from Properly Prescribed Prescription Drugs

The Journal of the American Medical Association in 1994 estimated that 76,000 to 137,000 people died from properly prescribed prescription drugs. That would make so-called adverse drug reactions between the sixth and fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

Why does the FDA go up in arms over herbals remedies yet allow this insane number of deaths to occur?

You can fight back at the grocery store. Eat well and reduce your prescriptions too (it's possible, I'm not suggesting to toss prescriptions, but the connection is clear). The first complaint is organic food is too expensive. Partly because supply and demand creates the higher prices: once more people buy healthier foods prices will drop but you can save 10 to 50% now by joining the first organic and natural foods buying club, The Green Polkadot Box.

You can be sure there will be lots more online organic and natural food buying clubs, but Green PolkaDot Box is the first and best. As of this writing the site is not complete, that's why they are offering incentives to register early. It costs nothing to pre-register (they will not charge membership fee until opening day), and you have an instant extra 5% discount on everything you buy for the lifetime of your membership. No risk, they are allowing up to 90 days after they launch to change your mind!

If you could receive a 5% lifetime discount where you shop now would you refuse?

References:

JAMA April 15, 1998;279(15):1200-5
US hospitals too many serious and fatal drug reactions

Costs are staggering too, so why does this continue? Big pharmacy. Notice there's a new drug for everything? Notice too they say "you have to continue taking this medication..." Ridiculous, and how about the disclosure they list at the end, including "death" as a side effect?

If you're sick and tired of this it's time to take back your health and eating healthier is the best place to start. It's not impossible to eat fairly well at a traditional grocery but processed foods are not your friend. I'm not suggesting you have to give everything up, just consider what you are fueling your body with and start making some better choices.

Once the majority are buying healthier foods costs will lower -- the crappy food prices would be dirt cheap if not for the billions spent on advertising them to us. We are paying for those advertisements. Sheesh, it's easy to get into rant mode. I only want to perhaps open someone's eyes to the fact that we are being killed by what we're eating. It's not impossible to change that equation if you get ready for the revolution.

Organic Foods Too Expensive? Not If You Know Where To Shop

Think Organic Foods are Too Expensive! Maybe until now

... what if you could buy the same organic foods you do now but save 10 to 50%?

Announcing the first, online organic and natural foods buying club: Green PolkaDot Box

You'll save money and enjoy the convenience of shopping at home (helping to save fuel costs too). During pre-launch (now until May 31st, 2009) you will receive bonuses and rewards just for registering early (later you'd need to refer up to 20 new members to receive the same bonuses).

Not a box store, and you don't have to buy in huge quantities like Costco. You pay an annual membership fee (like Costco) then shop online and food is delivered to your door. Order $150 or more and shipping is free, otherwise pay the low set shipping fee (not crazy like some online merchants either).

Get in on the launch: Until May 31st, 2009 I can offer Associate Memberships with even more rewards but you must pre-register at GreenPolkaDot Box soon.

See 11 Ways to Save Money on Organic Food. They don't know about Green PolkaDot Box, but if they did you'd see 12 ways.

Ashton Kutcher First to Million plus Millions to Stop Malaria

Ashton Kutcher, @aplusk on Twitter.com narrowly beat out CNN for the honor of being first to have one million followers. Why this matters? Before the challenge, Kutcher posted on Twitter he would buy 1,000 nets in the fight to end Malaria, mentioning MalariaNoMore.org. Students around the country are involved with NothingButNets.net, both legitimate organizations created to publicize and "get moving" on this critical issue.

Someone said Twitter was silly and nothing more than a way to talk about what you're having for breakfast, but yet, there's this social army giving millions to charity, and of course, breaking news from CNN, very worthwhile and very cool.

If you haven't joined the fun, get an account. Go to Twitter.com, choose a user name and you're good to go. You choose who to join, effectively killing off the spammers (just unfriend if you get one by mistake), and tools like TweetDeck make it even more fun.

Find me at @onemorebite and send a Tweet saying hello! I'm tweeting on EFT for Weight Loss (naturally) and also ways I increase my weight loss coaching business via marketing on the Internet.

When Art Gains Weight

Found this on Facebook then looking for references discovered Eternally Cool.

"EternallyCool.net is Rome’s hip hub - here you can keep up with all that’s happening in the world’s oldest and coolest city. From art to food, from fashion to furniture, from advertising to literature, and from street life to art exhibits, we’ll keep you up on everything that makes Rome eternally cool."

Apparently this statute, and another of Lincoln grown portulant just sitting all these years in his chair at the Lincoln Monument for too long, was part of an advertising campaign by Advertising Agency: Scholz & Friends, Hamburg, Germany
