It may be increasing, and we would not know about it, because the whole field us rotten with corruption. Certainly, the amount of damage (from suffering up to death) caused by modern medicine is staggering, yet I know for sure that hardly any of this gets into the statistics.

Particularly when they are not supposed to have any side effects and every doctor I've spoken has refused to set up any sort of testing protocols.<br /><br />In my case, I react very badly to drugs in every family used to treat hypertension and some doctors ignore the serious symptoms to the point I spent a day in the ER, where the doctors were just as clueless.<br /><br />So I live with high blood pressure, it's safer than taking drugs.<br /><br />Yeah, I don't think much of the medical profession these days, the quality of care is abysmal. If it wasn't for the advances in technology, we would be seeing a rapidly increasing mortality rate.The Great and Powerful Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01379953300283048280noreply@blogger.com
