Great article by Dr. Peter Lind from the Washington Times.
*Acetaminophen (Tylenol ®) is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the United States resulting in approximately 140,000 poisoning cases, 56,000 ER visits, and approximately 100 deaths each year.
*Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (anti-inflammatories) are the second leading cause of peptic ulcers resulting in more than 100,000 hospitalizations at an estimated $2 billion in additional healthcare costs and 17,000 deaths yearly.
"*The US ranks last in health care outcomes of all other industrialized countries.
What do you think of these stats?
Drugs do not equal health
