Asthma Drugs Kill More than Asthma, FDA Ignores Risk

 

'Following a long line of reports finding pharmaceutical drugs to be deadlier than traffic accidents and many illegal drugs, it has now come out that many asthma drugs are actually killing more patients than asthma itself.

I had to conduct extensive searches just to find the references I will provide later in this article. There is however, a rather large body of anecdotal evidence—people who have tried it with great success. And anecdotal evidence can be just as important when considering a treatmen
For example, many drugs are prescribed off label, not because there have been extensive studies done showing beneficial results, but because "word spreads" that a certain drug "appears to provide benefit" for health problems unrelated to its approved use.'

 'We now have a generation of children who suffer from chronic health conditions that were almost unknown in childhood a generation ago: cancer, autism, asthma, allergies, diabetes, obesity, and now rickets.'

'As a direct result of misinformation pushed by modern medicine, an epidemic of deforming rickets is now epidemic in the UK. The scourge that was should be gone has returned, and with a vengeance. As many as 40 percent of all children in the UK may be suffering from the disease.'
