Merck to Pay $1 Billion in Vioxx Claims

Drug are chemicals that our bodies recognize as toxins that are neutralized in the liver or excreted in the kidney, but in time they cause adverse effects that can be numerous, all in the name of greed, because Big Pharma wan’t something they can patent and sell for high profit rather than natural products that cannot be patented and which do not offer excessive profit potential. They are all shown to be part of Babylon in Revelation 18:23 where the Greek word for sorcery is pharmakeia. It says that it deceives the nations, and today we see that every country practicing western medicine is on the brink of bankruptcy. Drugs don’t cure because they don’t address the underlying cause, and sooner or later, we are toxic to that chemical and have additional symptoms. The Bible calls it “sorcery.”

Treating Diabetes with Drugs Is Worse than the Disease

thebridegroomcomes — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:50:53 +0000

A new meta-analysis of 13 randomized controlled trials involving more than 33,000 people showed that this treatment is not only ineffective, it’s dangerous as well. Treatment with glucose-lowering drugs actually showed the potential to increase your risk of death from heart-related, and all other causes.

“The overall results of this meta-analysis do not show a benefit of intensive glucose lowering treatment on all cause mortality or cardiovascular death. A 19% increase in all cause mortality and a 43% increase in cardiovascular mortality cannot be excluded.”

Avandia (rosiglitazone) is the poster child for what is wrong with the drug treatment of type 2 diabetes. After hitting the market in 1999, a 2007 study in the New England Journal of Medicine linked it to a 43 percent increased risk of heart attack, and a 64 percent higher risk of cardiovascular death, compared to patients treated with other methods! http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/09/07/the-risks-of-treating-diabetes-with-drugs-are-far-worse-than-the-disease.aspx?e_cid=20110907_DNL_art_3

Doctors Group Recommends Frequent Mammorgrams

thebridegroomcomes — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:11:26 +0000

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says women may want to consider annual mammograms starting at age 40. Their stance is in contrast to advice provided 20 months ago by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. That panel discontinued recommending routine mammograms for women in their 40s.

Members noted that whatever benefits of screening exist at that age might not offset the harm from discovering abnormalities that are benign. http://ozarksfirst.com/fulltext?nxd_id=491597

“Mammography screening is a profit-driven technology posing risks compounded by unreliability. In striking contrast, annual clinical breast examination (CBE) by a trained health professional, together with monthly breast self-examination (BSE), is safe, at least as effective, and low in cost. International programs for training nurses how to perform CBE and teach BSE are critical and overdue.” International Journal of Health Services, 31(3):605-615, 2001.http://www.preventcancer.com/patients/mammography/ijhs_mammography.htm

“Birth control” rx’s for all women?

thebridegroomcomes — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:35:21 +0000

An independent panel of doctors and health experts recommended Tuesday that health plans cover a broad range of contraceptives for women without co-pays, setting the stage for another debate over the impact of the new health overhaul. LA Times, July 20, 2011. “Birth control” is a euphemism for hormone tablets that will cause other medical problems and why shouldn’t a panel of doctors recommend them–it’s just good business. In addition to increased cancer risk, if you have migraine headaches, you should stop “the pill.” (also caffeine which is a huge factor in migraines.)

Mass psychosis in the US

thebridegroomcomes — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:22:58 +0000

Has America become a nation of psychotics? You would certainly think so, based on the explosion in the use of antipsychotic medications. In 2008, with over $14 billion in sales, antipsychotics became the single top-selling therapeutic class of prescription drugs in the United States, surpassing drugs used to treat high cholesterol and acid reflux.

Damn Drug Companies & Their TV Ads

thebridegroomcomes — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 20:04:20 +0000

Summary: 25% of US children take Rx drugs for attention deficit, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and obesity. Millions of children have a mortgaged future even worse than the federal deficit will put on them, thanks to congress for both issues and their approval of TV drug ads. Kids become guinea pigs in a greedy experiment by drug companies that don’t long-term studies.
Big pharma does not want to know the results of their drugs on the long term because they would be forced to admit guilt. And how do you measure the affects of mind-altering drugs by research on animals? And most drugs prescribed for children have not been studied in children! Can you see any problems?

Can we believe “57 million” with Swine Flu?

thebridegroomcomes — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:24:35 +0000

57 Million Ill with Swine Flu is just HALF of outpatients made ill by prescription drugs 10 years ago, reported in the Western Journal of Medicine, June, 2000. This report was two years after the Journal of AMA reported 106,000 deaths in hospitals from drugs “properly prescribed and administered” (the definition of an Adverse Drug Reaction). But since those dates, Adverse Drug Events and Deaths have increased 2.6 and 2.7 fold respectively, according to the Archives of Internal Medicine, Sept 10, 2007, reporting on the period, 1998 to 2005. By now it would be expected to be 4.4 fold with more than a million deaths a year from “Ask your doctor” (for a prescription).
People need to be taught that drugs do not cure disease and the body becomes toxic in time. Covering the signs of toxicity with another Rx can be deadly. We have forgotten Hippocrates who said, “Let your food be your medicine.” I can fax three pages from medical literature supporting the above figures if you send the # to Ruhling7@juno.com.
