But first the facts. It is less than a year ago that the AOK, one of

the biggest health insurance companies in Germany, published the

following article in their periodical of April 1998:

 

" According to the German Ministry of Health there are some 24,000

medications on the market of which no therapeutic efficiency, no

healing properties, have been proven. 24,000 medications, that is over

98% of all currently marketed medicines. These are prescribed, sold

and taken by the millions but they have no proven effect. Yet the

National Health Service has to pay for them. "

 

The situation is no different in Holland, Britain, France and other

European countries.

 

A second fact you should remember is a notification by the Journal of

the American Medical Association of April 15th, 1998: It was

established by an extensive study that the:

 

Side effects of medication are now the fourth largest cause of death

in the industrial world, after heart infarction, stroke and cancer.

 

According to data of the German Medical Association of April 18th,

1998, each year 8.000 people in Germany die of the serious side

effects of medication and over 100,000 fall seriously ill.

 

Let me recap:

 

Only one thing has been proven of 98% of currently world-wide

available pharmaceutical preparations: that the serious side effects

of these pills cause new diseases with epidemic proportions, that are

the fourth largest cause of death after heart infarction, stroke and

cancer. "
