Traditional medicine clearly kills more people than it saves. Prescribed drugs are the third leading cause of death and the first three, heart attacks, cancer and strokes and facilitated by physician ignorance of foundational concepts of nutritional physiology.
In the next ten years you're going to see a shift in health care like you've never seen before. Drugs will be out and other, more effective ways such as chiropractic and nutrition will be "in". Not in the fad sense of the word either. It will be the "in" thing to do because is works. The public will demand it and when the politics of medicine and food become more ethical, only the methods that actually work and are the most cost effective will win.
Mark my word; in the next 10 years you will see a 180 degree change in the methods with which people take care of their health.

submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 8/24/2005
Like any government agency that has been around for almost a century, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has endured its share of rough patches.

Prescription Drug Sales Increased By Nearly 20% Last Year in US
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 2/3/2002
Retail prescription drug spending in the US increased for the fifth straight year in 2000, primarily reflecting higher sales of a relatively small number of drugs.
As an aging population coped with arthritis, diabetes and high cholesterol, spending on prescription drugs shot up nearly 20 percent last year, to $132 billion.
Two dozen products accounted for half the increase, which occurred not just because drugs are becoming more expensive but because doctors are writing many more prescriptions for higher-cost drugs, the study said.

The Hidden Hand of Violence
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 6/30/2002
