51. Well, Western Medicine Is The Fourth Leading Cause of DEATH
But most of the people buying into the study presented here don't want to face THAT realilty.

"More than 100,000 people a year die in American hospitals from adverse reactions to medication, making drugreactions one of the leading causes of death in the United States, researchers are reporting Wednesday.

The deaths, as described in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, are not due to mistakes by doctors in prescribing drugs or by patients in using them. Rather, drug reactions occur because virtually all medications can have bad side effects in some people, even when taken in proper doses. "

Taking medications AS PRESCRIBED is the fourth leading cause of death and this doesn't include those who suffer permanent adverse reactions that aren't lethal.

This is also doesn't take into account the "superviruses" resistant to ANY antibiotic which modern medicine has essentially created.

So go ahead living in your deluded world where Western Science pretends to be objective while preaching the gospel that the Material world is all there is.

Thankfully, there ARE some Scientists and Philosphers who aren't slaves to the Establishment and its Materialistic bias. Some of us are willing to expand our Understanding of Reality.
