Lessons from Jon Barron
Single Leading Cause of Death In The US  In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron calls out the shocking, single-leading cause of death in the United States.  "As it turns out, the very people and medications we turn to for protection against this onslaught [of current health problems] may be doing more harm than good. The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that there are more than 2 million drug "reactions" annually in the U.S., and more than 100,000 of those reactions are fatal. This makes prescription drugs the fourth leading cause of death in America. But the reality is actually much worse. These numbers do not include: - Patients who are given the wrong drugs or who are given those drugs at the wrong dosage or in the wrong combination.
- Patients who have fatal reactions to the drugs, but whose death is mistakenly (or deliberately) attributed to other causes. A patient is prescribed a painkiller and dies from a heart attack. How is that recorded on the death certificate—reaction to the drug or heart attack? Both are true, but only one is the truth."
"Add these circumstances to the aforementioned "official" count and you find that deaths from adverse reactions to drugs may number as high as 700,000 a year. Actually, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimates that only 1 percent of all adverse reactions are reported, which, if true, would make 700,000 an incredibly conservative estimate. Now, combine those 700,000 deaths with the number of people who die from misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, secondary infections received in hospitals, or just plain physician error, and the startling fact you're left with is that modern medicine, despite all the great things it may have accomplished, is arguably the single leading cause of death in the United States." We hope you enjoyed this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors. Next week, we'll take a look at the failure of the modern medical paradigm.
