Just pain pills. Most chronic disease is just nutritional deficiencies brought on by poor diet. [/quote] This I agree with for the most part. My cancer was more due to poising from the environment (household chemicals, etcetera), but the source of my diet probably wasn't helping much either at the time. I'm sure the medical industry does save lives, but they also ruin just as many with poisoning by over medication and misdiagnosing. I hate that the place we're "supposed" to go to when we're ill is the one place most likely to kill us. Some random stats: " 44,000 to 98,000 deaths annually from medical errors (Institute of Medicine) 225,000 deaths annually from medical errors including 106,000 deaths due to "nonerror adverse events of medications" (Starfield) " from: http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/mistakes/common.htm "The federal study [PDF] found that one in seven Medicare patients are harmed while in a U.S. hospital, and 15,000 die each month as a result of lapses by hospitals and their employees." from: http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/report-hospital-errors-cause-15000-deaths-month-6743" [/quote] Actually, most cancers are caused by chronic vitamin D deficiency. It's a potent cancer fighter. My old Clinical Nutrition book says that but it didn't go much into details over how much to take unfortunately. Here's way more up to date info regarding vitamin D and cancer - http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/health-conditions/cancer/ Vitamin D deficiency is much more widespread than anyone realizes. In its hormone form, Calcitriol, is a very potent hormone that acts as DNA repair and maintenance. It makes sure all of your human functions are working properly including anti-cancer, anti-virus, anti-bacteria fighters. It does so many things for you. [/quote]
Original Message
I was prescribed pain killers for a while and because of them I ended up with one of the most common side effects. But instead of admitting it was a side effect of the medication the doctor told me that it was a sign that my condition was getting worse (he then prescribed something for the side effect).
How often do they blame the patient and just claim the original illness is causing the patient to "deteriorate" thus giving them more reason to prescribe more medications?
Mine was a fairly simple example, but imagine if I had blindly followed the doctors. I'd be a brain dead zombie on 20 different medications by now and thinking my original condition was the cause..and that I was terminal from it.
Share your medical nightmares if you dare.
I'm curious as to how common they really are.
