MORE ON MEDICAL DESTRUCTION, NOVEMBER 28, 2003. Prior to my radio appearance on Coast to Coast AM, I'm laying out some stats and facts about the true effects of the medical cartel.
That show will air live on December 3. To find the station in your area, or to listen on the Internet, go to www.coasttocoastam.com

Today's factoids are cited in an excellent October 2003 report, DEATH BY MEDICINE, co-authored by Gary Null, Dr. Carolyn Dean, Dr. Martin Feldman, Dr. Deborah Rasio, and Dorothy Smith.
Money influence in medical research in universities? In 1981, drug companies laid out $292 million for research. In 1991: $2.1 billion. See Cynthia Crossen's book, Tainted Truth: The Manipulation of Fact in America.
"Over a million patients are injured in US hospitals each year, and approximately 280,000 die annually as a result of these injuries..." Bates DW; JAMA 1995, Jul 5; 274(1):29-34.
From the Null Report: "In 2001, Cesarean section is still the most common OB/GYN surgical procedure. Approximately 4 million births occur annually, with a 24% C-section rate, i.e., 960,000 operations. In the Netherlands only 8% of babies are delivered by Cesarean section. Assuming human babies are similar in the US and in the Netherlands, we are performing 640,000 unnecessary C-sections in the US with its three to four times higher mortality and 20 times greater morbidity than vaginal delivery." See Family Practice News, Feb. 15, 1995.
The Null Report cites the famous 2000 JAMA article written by Barbara Starfield - in quality of health delivery, the US ranks 12th out of 13 countries studied. Starfield relies in part on Weingart's June 2000 Western Journal of Medicine study, which indicates (by extrapolation) that medically caused illness, injury, or complication account for 116 million extra doctor visits, 77 million extra drug prescriptions, 17 million emergency room visits, 8 million hospitalizations, 199,000 extra deaths, and $77 billion in extra care costs.
Against this horrendous background, you can get a good idea of what's really involved when medical honchos go after this herb or that herb or this vitamin or that vitamin.
It's called misdirection.
Look over here, where six people died.
Don't look there, where 300,000 people died.
Of course, most people don't believe anyone in the medical profession could be guilty of intentional misdirection.
So for the hundredth time, let me say: The intentional part is supplied by a very, very few people; the rest believe in what they're doing; true believers abound everywhere, even in the circles of high IQ self-styled elites.
