Mexican cartels? Colombian cartels? Afghan poppy lords? Middlemen? Street dealers? Are you kidding? They’re small fry. Check out the pros.

Medical News Today, June 22, 2013, “Most Americans on Prescriptions.” “7 out of every 10 Americans are on prescription drugs, and more than half of the country are on at least two, according to an analysis conducted by Mayo Clinic and Olmsted Medical Center researchers.”

That’s 210 million men, women, and children—hooked. Something the Sinaloa Cartel can only dream of.

Most commonly ingested medical drugs? In order: antibiotics, antidepressants, and opioids. Those last two indicate Americans are trying to change their state of mind and kill pain via the Man in the White Coat; the street dealer is way, way behind.

Here’s an interesting quote from the Medical News piece: “…nearly one quarter of women between 50 and 64 take antidepressants…”

The street drug cartels, of course, are working at a disadvantage. The White Coat dealers are backed up by government, insurance companies, medical boards, medical journals, Wall Street, banks, pharmaceutical companies, media, medical schools, hospitals, and big foundations. That’s the competition. What are the street drug cartels going to do? Put out a hit on all these people? Hell, I’m sure some of the Mexican and Colombian drug chiefs have their own doctors and are taking Zoloft and Paxil themselves.

Previously, in another piece, Medical News Today reported that, in 2011, there was a modest uptick in the number of prescriptions written in the US.

The increase brought the total to: 4.02 billion.

Yes, in 2011, doctors wrote 4.02 billion prescriptions for drugs in America.

That’s an average of roughly 13 prescriptions for each man, woman, and child.

That’s about one new prescription every month for every American.

The Medical News Today article concluded, “…the industry should be heartened by the growth of the number of prescriptions and spending.” Yes, I’m sure the drug industry was popping champagne corks.

We’re talking about prescriptions here. We’re not talking about the number of pills Americans took. We’re also not counting over-the-counter drugs.

Pharmacopoeia, a 2011 exhibition at the British Museum, estimated that “the average number of pills a person takes in his or her own lifetime in the UK is 14,000.” That’s as a result of prescriptions. Including over-the-counter drugs, the 14,000 number would swell to 40,000 pills taken in a lifetime.

What are the effects of all these drugs?

We are looking at a supreme Trojan Horse that is rotting out America and other industrialized countries from the inside. Wars, no wars, economic deprivation, economic prosperity, the drugs continue to do their work, debilitating and ruining and terminating lives.

Many sources can be cited to confirm this assessment.

On January 8th, 2001, the LA Times published an article by Linda Marsa: “When Good Drugs Do Harm.” Marsa quoted researcher Dr. David Bates, who indicated that, in the US, there are 36 million serious adverse reactions to medical drugs per year.

On July 26, 2000, the Journal of the American Medical Association published the most stunning mainstream estimate of medical-drug damage in history: “Is US health really the best in the world?” The author was Dr. Barbara Starfield, a respected public-health researcher at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.

Starfield concluded that medical drugs were killing Americans at the rate of 106,000 per year. That’s over a million deaths per decade.

(By contrast, The Wall St. Journal reports 3,094 deaths from heroin overdose in 2010.)

Starfield gives us a conservative sketch of the Trojan Horse that has been placed in the center of the industrialized world.

The destruction of societies by medical drugs goes far beyond what some people call “over-prescribing.” This isn’t just a tilt in the wrong direction. It isn’t simply errors of judgment compounded by the number of doctors dispensing medicines.

Those are all polite terms suggesting the situation can be corrected through a show of good will and better judgment. That will never happen.

Countries of the world are literally being assaulted by pharmaceutical companies and their foot-soldier doctors. It’s chemical warfare.

To even begin to see light at the end of the tunnel, hundreds of millions of people must add themselves to the rolls of those who already are pursuing better health through natural means.

Not even the worst dictators and mass murderers in history dreamed of a day when the citizenry would line up and demand to ingest more and more life-destroying chemicals.

    Ahh yes. That would explain the epidemic proportion of institutionalized ignorance/stupidity. Want a war? feed ’em sh*t, they’ll buy it…. A nation and it’s people annihilated? Commit a “false flag” with the help of their own government, they won’t question it. Promote deviance? No trouble at all, use a “benevolent” FED agency, (as with MOST, probably run by a dual citizen), to espouse the finer points of homosexuality to our small children, w/o mention of the repulsive diseases associated with those acts of “love”, the guidelines condemning it from the God of this “faux Christian” cesspool notwithstanding.
    Not supporting “orthodox” history, (insert crap), such as the hallow’dcaust? Simple, enact laws for your masters making it a crime to question such historic(?) “facts”. Yup, this bit-o-info answers a multitude of questions regarding the actions of this co-opted “government” and it’s “walking dead” denizens.

    106 000 killed each year, and nobody seems to care. It’s mind-boggling! Two weeks ago, Interpol coordinated a huge operation and shut down thousands online pharmacies. The INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble said:

    “The sole focus of the organized crime networks behind the sale of these fake and illicit medicines is to make money, and they do not care about the potentially life-threatening consequences of their actions,”

    Unreal!

    Here’s a scene you’ll never see in a movie…

    – He doesn’t move. Is he dead?
    – Not yet honey! He’s on Thorazine.
    – The bleeding didn’t work?
    – Nor did the lobotomy.

    Is there a difference between modern-day pharmaceuticals and “potions” of the kind referenced in the Bible? I have read that several Greek words in the New Testament that are translated as “witchcraft” or “sorcery” share the root word “pharm”, with words like “pharmacy” and “pharmaceuticals” in our modern vernacular. Way back when, witches who made and used potions were often tortured or burned at the stake; today, those same “witches” are known as “medical doctors”, “ethno-botanists”, or “pharmacists”. So I have to wonder: what makes our own pharmaceuticals any different? The amount of money spent on “research” and “development”? I wonder if God has anything to say about this…and would we listen if He did?

    • Lawrence Taylor says:

      NEW KJ has changed from ‘regular’ I guess: Here’s NKJ Gal 5:16-23 [Gal 5:16-23 NKJV] 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told [you] in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

  5. hippocrates says:

    Most drugs are overprescribed but some like coumadin or cisplatin are warranted when a patient is sick enough.

  6. henry says:

    A portion of the population is like me – that is they do not take any prescription drugs. So, the people who do take prescription drugs must be getting new prescriptions every couple of weeks. This is mind blowing.

    • Steve F says:

      There is a new drug in the pipeline for people who refuse to take drugs. Correlates with the DSM5 code: oppositional defiance disorder.

  7. Patrick says:

    Starfield’s research is terrifying, especially for people who are seriously ill. For anyone interested here are more details of that 2000 article:

    Great post, thank you Jon.

  8. Wanderer says:

    No doubt big pharma is evil. But, I believe birth control pills are perscription so if you don’t count that how much does the number drop?

    • Omar says:

      Why not count birth control ? Those are probably most detrimental to a woman’s long term biological health and hormonal health.

    I believe they ruined my thyroid with all the flouride we were dosed with so I have to take a thyroid pill daily. I remember getting flouride pills in elementary school and we thought it would be good to take extra, its a vitamin right?
