Facts
- The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 33% of diseases today are caused by medical treatment i.e. iatrogenic or doctor induced illness. Doctors are the third leading cause of death in the US after heart disease and cancer causing an estimated 250,000 deaths each year according to an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, July 2000.
- Prescription Drugs are big business with high profits. The ongoing creation by major international drug companies of expanded markets and new markets for antidepressants include new "alleged diseases" such as "social anxiety disorder" for which Paxil is being promoted heavily in advertising; Prozac as Serafem to treat "mood imbalances associated with premenstrual syndrome" and since Prozac has gone off patent, the drug manufacturer, Eli Lilly has received approval to market an once-weekly version of the drug (based on its "new coating").
- While prescription drug abuse and addiction is a much publicized problem, the abuse of over-the-counter medication is also a real concern. People looking to get high have abused over-the-counter medications containing DXM (dextromethorphan).
- Adderall is famous for being "speed in a pill."
