I think USA medicines/pharma industry was $300 Billion in year 2009. Today world medicine industry must be $1500 Billion or $1.5 Trillion every year, thanks to Obama and his clowns. ---------------------- More than 2 million Americans become seriously ill every year because of toxic reactions to correctly prescribed medicines taken properly, and 106,000 die from those reactions, a new study concludes. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/health/daily/april98/drugs041598.htm --------------------------- Sixty-five percent of the country takes a prescription drug these days. In 2005 alone, we spent $250 billion on them. 100,000 Americans Die Each Year from Prescription Drugs, While Pharma Companies Get Rich http://www.alternet.org/health/1473...ption_drugs,_while_pharma_companies_get_rich/ Prescription drugs kill some 200,000 Americans every year. Will that number go up, now that most clinical trials are conducted overseasâon sick Russians, homeless Poles, and slum-dwelling Chineseâin places where regulation is virtually nonexistent, the F.D.A. doesnât reach, and âmistakesâ can end up in pauperâs graves? The authors investigate the globalization of the pharmaceutical industry, and the U.S. Governmentâs failure to rein in a lethal profit machine. http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2011/01/deadly-medicine-201101 http://www.whale.to/a/dean.html I have also read that Americans take about 80% of psycotic drugs in the world. Are Americans weak? hypochondriacs? Americans take 80 percent of all prescription painkillers taken in the world. A world famous economists has written to me "Thanks for the Vanity Fair article on medical deaths. I've been writing about that for decades. Ghastly" When law authoritries investigate they will find out that mental hospital doctors are responsible for majority of Prescription drugs related deaths worldwide. Mental hospital doctors are useless people and they survive on money earned for poor and weak people sufferings. The mental drugs/medcines affect the minds of weak people and they cannot fight back and they are destroyed further mentally. Mental doctors will starve to death if they do not suffer weak people because these useless mental doctors do not have any knowledge and talent to earn money. Have you ever heard of mad animals being admitted to mental hospital. If people think a animal has gone mad and dangerous then the animal is shot dead/killed. Mental hospitals receive grants and donations. The reason people are kept in mental hospitals is that they can earn grants/money for keeping the patient alive. Nobody will give money for a dead person. Well if people will get psychotic drugs from a mental doctor, you have got to expect problems really. People carelessly throw away medicine bottles and containers with lables on it. Frauds and cheats use this readily available bottles and refill it with contaminated medicines. This is also one of the reasons for medicine related deaths and this more in poor and under developed countries. Always crush or destroy medicine bottles and containers. This applies to other products also. Pills and medicines should not be thrown in the toilet and flushed away. The meds goes into the water system.........
