'Deaths from prescription drug overdoses have been called the "silent epidemic" for years, and now, with one American dying every 19 minutes from an accidental prescription drug overdose,¹ it's being described as "the biggest man-made epidemic in the United States."²

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, associate chief of neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital and CNN's chief medical correspondent, recently highlighted the gravity of this issue, as many Americans don't think twice about taking powerful pain-relieving drugs like morphine and Oxycontin.

But if you thought there was a chance they might kill you... the situation would most certainly change, and that's why getting the word out about this leading cause of death is more important now than ever before.

Prescription Drugs are Killing People Every Day'

MEDICALLY CAUSED DEATH IN AMERICA: AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DR. BARBARA STARFIELD

 

'US newspapers are dying. The internet is crushing them. And yet, if the NY Times and the Washington Post and the LA Times wanted to resuscitate themselves, they could do it with stories like this. The American people would be motivated to the hilt to read about the true extent of medically caused death.

Drugs now kill more people than motor vehicle accidents in the U.S. — a monumental shift that reflects gains in road safety amid a troubling rise in prescription drug abuse.

Drug overdoses and brain damage linked to long-term drug abuse killed an estimated 37,485 people in 2009, the latest year for which preliminary data are available, surpassing the toll of traffic accidents by 1,201. And the number is likely to rise as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention prepares to release its official statistics in December.

…”There has been a dramatic increase in use of prescription drugs as physicians have become more liberal in prescribing them,” said Paulozzi, adding that the bulk of drug-related deaths stems from accidental opioid painkiller overdoses.”

'In response, government agents – otherwise known as elected representatives acting in your interest – push legislation friendly to the drug companies and their assorted offshoots of pharmaceutical wonder. In spite of the fact that prescription drug deaths are now at an all-time high, the pill pushers and their legalized drug runners in the medical establishment may have found a new way to keep you in a pharmaceutical coma that benefits the bottom lines of the mega-drug industry: an Orwellian, wireless implant device that will automatically feed you drugs that you neglect to take.'
