History Proves Many Doctors' Recommendations are Disasters

by Dr. Mercola

A pill for this ... an operation for that. There is no end to the ways that modern medicine can make you bigger, better, stronger, sexier, healthier ... right?

After all, a prescription drug is the panacea for just about anything that makes your body less than perfect, isn’t it?

And you can always count on your doctor to give you accurate, reliable information ... wouldn’t you agree?

A closer look might suggest otherwise.

Most of you know that the U.S. spends far more on health care in actual dollars and as a percentage of GDP than does any other country. Much of it is due to the constant research and development of new drugs, the deep pockets of big pharmaceutical companies, the cost of malpractice insurance, managed care, and expensive government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

Yet, the U.S. ranks embarrassingly low among industrialized countries in both life expectancy and infant mortality. The U.S. now ranks LAST out of 19 countries for unnecessary deaths – deaths that could have been avoided through timely and effective medical care. The reasons for this are complex and often debated; however, one contributing factor often NOT considered is the risk of medical treatment itself.

How dangerous is conventional medicine?
