Prescription Medications Kill About 200,000 people a Year in the USA

Dr Peter Girsch Director Nordic Conference Centre Copenhagen. "Many Pharmaceutical Drugs affect the brain and elderly people tolerate that very badly. They fall and when they break their hip, a quarter of them die. For example, Antidepressants are prescribed for more than 10% of our elderly and they seem to kill 3% of our elderly every year. If 100 elderly people take an antidepressant for one year, 3% of them will die because they fall and break their hip. This is a HUGE death rate, a lot of other drugs also make people fall and kill them and they may affect your cognition, your memory and then they interact in ways we don't know about." "It's not popular to tell the truth in health care because you will get a lot of enemies because a lot of people make a lot of money on false premises. Doctors and industry alike and our drug regulators and our Politicians, they're all on board with this. Very few people are independent of money in Health Care.
