It is a dangerous world out there, I just heard this morning on the radio that you have a 1 in 3,200 chance of space junk falling on your head. I don't know about you but that makes me want to stay inside, no more lawn mowing or pushing the garbage can up the hill for me, I am staying inside. But I will tell you what is scary and should be of a concern to anyone who is taking drugs, be it prescription or the over the counter stuff. Here are the facts for you to chew on:
Prescription drug reactions cause more than 2,000,000 hospital admissions every year in America. (Journal of the American Medical Association - JAMA)
More than 180,000 Americans die every year from taking their medications!!! 9-11 killed around 3,000 people and we went to war, losing another 3,000 soldiers in the battle. The drug industry is a power house industry, they make a lot of really bad drugs, most new drugs that come out every year are taken off the market within 5 years with class action lawsuits over the deaths and damages they cause.
Prescription medication use is the third (3rd) leading cause of death in America-dwarfing automobile accidents, AIDS, alcohol and illegal drug abuse, infectious disease, diabetes and murder.
More than 106,000 patients die per year because of PROPERLY prescribed drugs. In other words what this report is detailing is that taking a drug to change body physiology is serious and has great risk.
Improper prescription events include both physician and patient errors, like prescription of the wrong drug, wrong dose or wrong patient...
June 8, 2010 a huge Danish study finds that high doses of common painkillers raise the risk of heart death in healthy people. "We found that most NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, diclofenac, cataflam, voltaren...) are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity (death)," says researcher Emil Loldrup Fosbol, MD, of Gentofte University Hospital in Hellerup, Denmark.
Perhaps of concern to more Americans is the finding that ibuprofen (brand names include Advil and Motrin) increased risk of stroke by about 30% in the Fosbol study.
Based on other evidence, an American Heart Association panel in 2007 warned that treating chronic pain with NSAIDs other than aspirin increases a person's risk of heart attack and stroke. The lead author of this AHA statement, Elliot M. Antman of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital says the Fosbol findings underscore the importance of those recommendations. "Doses examined in this study were very similar to doses that patients are likely to encounter both at over-the-counter level and prescription level," Antman says in a news release.
This article taken from WebMD Health News by Daniel J DeNoon, titled-Common Painkillers Raise Heart Death Risk. Ibuprofen increases stroke risk; Diclofenac as risky as Vioxx, study finds.
Solution? Ask questions, do I really need this drug? Is there something I could be doing instead? Is this the correct dose for my body size and my age? Ask both the doctor and the pharmacist and then look up the drug you are taking, understand the potential side effects. Maybe a good chiropractor could lessen your need for pain killers? And maybe a great weight loss program could dramatically improve your health potential, normalize your blood pressure and eliminate your need for Lipitor and Viagra? Our patients get out of pain quickly and our 30/10 Weight Loss program is amazing, women lose an average of 30 lbs. in 10 weeks, men lose 50/10, and we frequently see blood pressure and cholesterol levels come back to normal again. Nothing is more important than our health-eat right, lose the weight, exercise, sleep well and let go the stress, and provided you are not a space junk statistic you could live to a vibrant ripe old age. Until next time, Dr. Mark Doyle
