This -

US medicine leading cause of Death in the US
"Null's team examined virtually every area and specialty of American medicine, asking one basic question: have the therapies offered been proven safe and effective? Their statistical findings were undeniably dire showing the number of:
People having in-hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2 million per year
Unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections at 20 million per year
Unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually at 7.5 million per year
People exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually at 8.9 million per year
The most stunning statistic, however, showed the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine at an astounding 783,936 per year -- making it evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251"

http://www.mercola.com/dvd/prescription_for_disaster.htm about a DVD called "Prescription For Disaster" - "the definitive guide on the journey through the tangled web of big business, the way disease is treated today, and the consequences we suffer as a society. Medical insiders reveal how your health and even your basic freedoms may be at risk!"
"It is estimated that in America last year, nearly $2 trillion was spent on health care -- and virtually all that money was spent on treating disease.1 Despite this massive expenditure on treatment, more Americans are sicker than ever before with diseases that are largely preventable: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and depression, to name a few.
Each year more money is spent on treatment, mere patchwork, even though it has become crystal-clear that treatments do NOT enable you to live a longer, better life. So why is the amount of money being spent on prevention just a pittance compared with the amount spent on treatment?
The answer is simple -- when you are sick it is highly profitable to various giant corporations. When you are well, it doesn't profit them much at all.
Over the years, I have compiled many articles that support evidence that the conventional health system results in more harm than good. But no one has ever analyzed and combined ALL of the published literature dealing with injuries and deaths caused by government-protected medicine and reproduced the information in such an easy-to-follow, insightful and compelling medium -- that is, UNTIL NOW.
Gary Null's new DVD, Prescription For Disaster, is a must-see in-depth investigation and expose of the conventional health care syste -- and that's putting it lightly. It describes in detail the failure of the traditional paradigm and provides us with shocking statistics on the thousands and thousands of deaths that resulted from unnecessary or incorrect medical treatments.
Prescription For Disaster takes you deep into the symbiotic relationships between the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, lobbyists, lawmakers, medical schools, and researchers, and the impact this has on consumers and their health care."

for the movie mms://wm.kinodigital.na-central.speedera.net/wm.kinodigital.na-central/garynull/trailers/prescription_for_TR.wmv Some random factoids - drug companies spend $8bn on sales and marketing... 50% of the FDA money used to review drugs comes from drug companies :-O :-O ... "the FDA has had a 50year campaign of attacking all alternative therapies" ... a military style raid on some healthcare centre (guns and all)...
