Mercola: Pharmaceutical Drugs are 62,000 times more likely to kill you than supplements. 7/24/2012
medical accidents more deadly than nutritional supplements
You’re also more likely to die from being struck by lightning or drowning in your bathtub than having a lethal reaction to herbs or supplements.
Based on the data showing supplements and herbal remedies are in the ‘super-safe’ category of individual risk, UK, European, and American authorities are completely out of line in their assertion that supplements are dangerous and need to be more heavily regulated.
Dr. Wilson comments:
Most Physicians don’t get kickbacks for prescribing medications. Because of their busy schedule and limited amount of time to deal with patients under our current insurance system, they simply find it easier to prescribe medications. It’s a lot quicker than taking the time to educate people how to improve their health through life-style changes.
Many of the Physicians who sit on the panels that advise Physicians on how to prescribe drugs do take payments from drug companies. This is obviously a conflict of interest and the practice should be banned.
