Unnecessary medication could kill you - Dr Ray Strand,MD.

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Close on the heels of an article in The Outlook comes this interesting article.

The pill popping habit must be curbed. If you want to know the side effects of

the medicine you are currently taking, try out by searching the chemical

component at www.offshorerx.com .

 

And here's the article, an interview of Dr Ray Strand, MD.

 

Mike: It’s a pleasure to be tapping into some of your wisdom today. I, as well

as many of our listeners, must be curious: You are an MD, and yet you speak out

quite directly about the dangers of prescription drugs. How does that happen?

 

Dr. Strand: Well, I have been in the practice for 31 years of my medical career

and I think all physicians appreciate the inherent risks all drugs present to

their patient. We are always weighing the risk of medication, or the risk of

adverse drug reactions, to the health benefits they can obtain. So what really

got my attention was an article written in The Journal of American Medical

Association back in 1998, in which they showed that properly prescribed

medication, prescribed and taken properly, is the fourth-leading cause of death

in the country. Then, when you add the improperly prescribed medications to this

that are not taken properly, that is another 80,000 deaths, making it the

third-leading cause of death.

 

Yet, no one in this country is talking about it. We don’t even keep statistics

on it. Yet, all other researchers present the fact that over half of these

deaths could be avoided if people just knew what to do. So I think that was the

purpose and reason for writing the

book. It's just to warn people that they don't need to take so much medication.

If you really need to take medication, take it. But I have always had the

philosophy: You should take medication as a last resort, not a first choice. Do

not have blind faith in the FDA, the pharmaceutical industry, the doctor or the

pharmacist. You need to take some personal responsibility to protect yourself

and your loved ones from an adverse drug reaction.
