I. Introduction

Physicians today are not just aggressively striving to find a cure for life-threatening diseases, doctors are also struggling to find a cure for the medical malpractice crisis.

doses needed to treat[nnt number]

some samples

Here the NNT
becomes the NNH.

For every
12 or 14 people..treated with beta-blockers
perioperatively,..there will be one more case of
bradycardia..and one more case of
hypotension.

With clopidogrel plus aspirin,
4,883/45,930 (11%) patients had the
outcome of death, stroke, or myocardial
infarction.

Here the NNT (or NNT to prevent [NNTp],
or number needed to harm [NNH] – see
below) can help to identify the
proportion of patients likely to have
treatment-specific effects.

The best NNT is 1, when everyone
experiences benefit with the treatment and
no one with the control.

The worst NNT is
–1, when everyone experiences benefit with
the control and no one with the treatment.

Between these two extremes, NNT values
increase to infinity, when there is no
difference between treatment and control.

but why should i care
if you dont

Is There Really a Difference
Between Legal..and Illegal Drugs?

There is a new ‘war on drugs’
in this day..and age.

Everybody knows the dangers..and risks of illegal drugs,
as well as addiction and fatal injury,..

but it may be surprising..for some
to discover that some of the most dangerous drugs
are not those..that are already illegal.. but the legally prescribed pharmaceuticals..being perpetuated on a daily basis.

Prescription drugs..such as painkillers
are killing more people..than top illegal substances
like cocaine..and heroin combined

while sales numbers soar — as well as unnecessary painkiller use.
In addition, ..other dangerous drugs like antipsychotics
are handed out like candy,

http://naturalsociety.com/report-half-of-all-americans-to-be-diagnosed-with-mental-health-problems/

but some are even introduced..without testing,
or even use perverted study results..in an attempt to convey the false image of legitimacy.

More time should be spent taking care..of the major problem of pharmaceutical drug use rather than focusing on legal action..concerning drug-driving.

After all, pharmaceutical drugs
kill more individuals than traffic fatalities overall.

Meanwhile, cannabis presents a number of health-promoting effects..that have gone unrecognized by the U.S. federal government and many nations across the globe.

More Americans died..in 2008
from pharmaceutical painkiller overdose..Responsible for nearly 15,000 deaths in 2008,..prescription painkillers have become wildly popular.

The news comes after a previous report found drugs to outnumber traffic accidents in fatalities.
http://naturalsociety.com/drug-deaths-now-outnumber-traffic-fatalities-in-us/

In 2009, drugs exceeded the amount of traffic-related deaths, killing at least 37,485 people nationwide...According to information provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,..the very pharmaceuticals that are prescribed..to treat..life-endangering conditions

*are now ending lives...!

UK Government Puts Focus..on the Wrong Kind of Drugs

With pharmaceutical drug usage skyrocketing (along with the subsequent death rates), there is no doubt that the UK government is misplacing their focus.

Driving while under the influence can certainly be an issue, but it is not comparable to millions of people being dosed up on harmful pharmaceuticals.

http://naturalsociety.com/drug-labels-contain-70-negative-side-effects-on-average/

With the issues of pharmaceuticals bypassing government officials, the UK will surely mirror the US..by encouraging a pill-popping frenzy.

by adverse reaction[to perscribed..'drugs'''
wont read any of them..

[and those in the know...know its true
so couldnt refute the info presented]

so i thought to know
the topic would never get up
but it did

and was ignored by all

i dont know why they are surprised
health costs..boost up the gdp
just being healthy dont

study and killing the sickly
provides gdp

its sick
but sickness....is great for..cashflow..gee[gdp]

let alone the death industry catering/proffiteering/capitalising
lobbying..for ever more cash from govt..to fix it

with their latest cashcow
recall rudds 25 million to raise the organ transphere issues
its run out..neds more cash...so far has raised the bar on organ donation

or rather lowerd it
from 14 place..[in the world]
to 23 rd place...[for organ donation]

but heck its beurocracy is huge
trouble is its doing the oppisite

just like our ill-health system beurorockrats
when they arnt fluffing up their mates

ohh and qld healths computers system
has begotten another 15 million
to fix health?

or the push button beurocracy elites
running the two party system's...with a push of the button
for the moneyed elites...holding the corperate trusts and securities
in their family trust accounts..[tax trusts double]

just think
a docter cant 'mend ya bone'
it can hold it in the shape

god will do it 'naturally'
medical pretenders
heal thyself

Dear Johan (OUG),

Well you've just scared the heck out of me.

I suffer from an irregular heartbeat, palpitations,
and my pulse rate sometimes goes through the roof.
I've ended up in the emergency dept of our large
public hospital quite a few times when these attacks
have come in the early hours of the morning and have
not subsided but continued. Once it took over ten hours
to get things back to normal. I'm in the care of a
cardiologist and he's put me on to all sorts of medication.
Most of which makes me very tired. Yet these attacks
are still continuing - though admittedly in milder form
but more frequently.

The next thing he's looking at is putting me onto wafarin -
(blood thinning), which I'm dreading.

I'm terrified of suffering a stroke. My father died of a massive
coronary at the age of 52. If that happens to me - well and good,
I guess. What frightens me is - what if I survive, and am
either brain damaged, or paralysed, or lose the power of speech.
I wouldn't want to live that way.

But what's the alaternative - no medication?
