Prescription drugs.
Nearly.
The abuse of prescription and/or illegal drugs.
The abuse part is the important bit.
Legally prescribed and correctly applied pharmaceutical compounds kill 100k/year in the US alone. Trusting Dr.s and Pharma is the abuse.
Eh? They save tens of millions of lives per year. While no drug is safe, blanket fear-mongering is far worse.
This is a uniquely US thing, trying to pin it on a universal issue or single issue such as prescribed drugs is likely to be as accurate as the clearly false 'all serial killers have the same hair' claims.
First off, the article did not claim ALL serial killers have the same hair. It did point out the one exception, while most of the last mass killers had the similar 'bowl cut', intimating the hairstyle COULD BE a sign of a mental anti-social disorder. It clearly stated not all those with bowl cuts are killers, but most of the mass shooters had similar haircuts. Second, prescription drugs don't SAVE tens of millions of lives a year, they just treat for the short term. I guess you equate facts as 'fear-mongering'.
Insulin saves tens of millions of lives every year.
That's just one drug.
I guess you equate fear-mongering as "facts".
Artificially produced pharmaceutical insulin treats, and in the process temporarily saves, not cures, millions of lives each year. A safer, vastly cheaper, natural cure is cinnamon. Of course, big pharma doesn't tell you about that, they can't make billions from a penny plant.
So it saves lives then?
You said they didn't then you said they do.
Which is it?
Would you care to share how cinnamon cures diabetes?
And how long has this been known about as I'm sure the millions of people who died as a result of starvation diets before insulin was available would have liked to have known this.
I'm sure my 81 year-old insulin dependant Dad would like to know too.
Your last sentence is straight from conspiracy 101.
Where do you think pharma derive drugs from?
Digoxin, aspirin, opiates etc etc etc? All from plants.
If there was something in cinnamon which cured diabetes it could be extracted and sold couldn't it?
You've not put much thought into this have you?
You're obviously a shill for big pharma because you either work or have worked for them in some capacity, so I'll provide a link that shows cinnamon is a safer, natural alternative to the artificial pharm produced insulin with adverse side affects. I'm sure you will automatically dispute though because it doesn't fit your agenda. And there is something in cinnamon which cures diabetes and the pharms won't address it though because they wouldn't make any money off it. And yes, I have put thought into this. And just to placate you, I took a source from the Mayo Clinic rather than a natural/alternative sight which I'm sure you would yell is biased. Of course they tout cinnamon only be used as a 'supplement' to regular pharma treatment. But they are admitting cinnamon has a place. It amazes me they term natural remedies which have been around for thousands of years as 'alternative medicine' yet artificially produced ingredients that have only been around for @ 100 years as 'mainstream'.
"Whether cinnamon can lower blood sugar is a topic of debate — but recent research suggests that cinnamon may be helpful as a supplement to regular diabetes treatment in people with type 2 diabetes."

Why would 'big pharma' be against it? Ceylon Cinamon is already a raw product that goes into a lot of medicines, the ingredient that provides the benefits, Eugenol and Cinnameldehyde are isolated and extracted into oils so people don't have to eat several grams of the raw product as eating raw cinnamon would kill them in six weeks from toxicity overdose or risk death from choking trying to eat that amount.
Edit: What Pardon? says is right - if someone switched from insulin to cinnamon they'd be dead pretty soon. 'Complementary' means it offers no benefit but doesn't interfere with actual medicine.

Why would 'big pharma' be against it? Because they wouldn't make their billions of dollars if someone went out a spent a few dollars on as is. You made my point when you said a raw product goes into a lot of medicines. What's a few dollars turns out to be a big bucks after the pharms process and get FDA approval for their product. Toxicity? Let's talk about long term adverse effects of prescription drugs. I work with a woman who had type II diabetes, eschewed her prescribed medicine, and took a cinnamon regimen exclusively for four months. Went back to her primary, said her #s were normal and the meds must be working. She then told him she wasn't taking the meds he prescribed but strictly cinnamon. Of course he told her it was everything else but the cinnamon which worked.

Natural remedies that work are called medicine.
Those that don't are called "alternative medicine".

It works because after, you'll be weaker and need mooooore prescriptions.
Don't you know that chemotherapy is the ONLY solution against cancer? Listen to lobbyists and the people that make profits when we are sick, how could they be wrong? :p

Your first sentence is quoting a very tired and wrong piece of misinformation.
scienceblogs.com...
Your paragraph from that bastion of wrongness, would be laughable if it wasn't so seriously ill informed.
Oh I know, why don't people with cancer try something else other than therapies which have been tested?
Because they don't work, that's why.

Boy, you sure are over-protective of your agenda. I don't know where you find the time to post as head of pharmaceutical sales.
........what a joke. Proves my point.
"A senior executive with Britain's biggest drugs company has admitted that most prescription medicines do not work on most people who take them.

Still pushing the shill gambit?
I suppose that's all you've got really as so far your argument has been pretty thin to say the least.
But to fill in the details that your post has missed, here's the efficacy rates for major drug therapies.
This doesn't take into account any interaction with other medications or whether indeed they're being used and/or taken properly. The higher the number, the higher the efficacy.
Alzheimer's: 30
Analgesics (Cox-2): 80
Asthma: 60
Cardiac Arrythmias: 60
Depression (SSRI): 62
Diabetes: 57
Hepatits C (HCV): 47
Incontinence: 40
Migraine (acute): 52
Migraine (prophylaxis)50
Oncology: 25
Rheumatoid arthritis50
Schizophrenia: 60
You also forgot to add that the article you referenced is 12 years old but that's not surprising really is it?
Here's the original.
www.independent.co.uk...
So the efficacy rates for several of those areas will be much higher now, science has progressed almost exponentially in the last decade in some of the areas.
So going back to your original statement, please show where drugs haven't saved millions of lives (even though you have already conceded they did).
And please get a tattoo somewhere prominent that states.
"IN CASE OF MEDICAL EMERGENCY PLEASE CALL A NATUROPATH".
Actually, best not do that...Even though your beliefs are based upon conspiracy I wouldn't wish harm on anyone.
