Side effects

                 

On the first chapter, the healthy polemic in the United States is described. The common diseases are also shown, but further in the book, the author tells us the real problem of health in America: "The medical system is the third leading cause of death in the United States". Besides this, Campbell explains how the "cost of medically prescribed drugs has been increasing", he states that it goes "at a rate faster than inflation" and these same drugs have outrageous side effects. These same prescribed drugs which are often unaffordable, are the "third leading cause of death" due to the side effects. This is shocking to know because what is actually supposed to heal you actually kills you, and it happens a lot more than what we think: "prescription drugs kill more people than traffic accidents".  Of course, not every one knows this (I wouldn't  have imagined it before I read this book). Why don't I know this? -you may be thinking, and the answer is much simpler than what you believe: "economic interests of the medical establishment", isn't it obvious? Making people aware of this situation will harm business. It all comes down to that: money, the drugs cost money, the health insurance as well and the whole industry. Fortunately there are plenty of ways to take care of yourself and avoid these complications, like what Dr. Campbell suggests: well and plentiful nutrition.
