More Americans are taking prescription medications

May 14, 2008
TRENTON, N.J. – For the first time, it appears that more than half of all insured Americans are taking prescription medicines regularly for chronic health problems, a study shows.

The most widely used drugs are those to lower high blood pressure and cholesterol — problems often linked to heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
The numbers were gathered last year by Medco Health Solutions Inc., which manages prescription benefits for about one in five Americans.
Experts say the data reflect not just worsening public health but better medicines for chronic conditions and more aggressive treatment by doctors. For example, more people are now taking blood pressure and cholesterol-lowering medicines because they need them, said Dr. Daniel W. Jones, president of the American Heart Association.

I wonder if they could they just put liquid nerve gas in the water one day and kill most of the major cities?
Or maybe they just love watching stupid people dying slowly.
God knows I could have been a hell of alot smarter if I has not been raised in NYC my whole life…….

I like the ones that say that it will help you with your bladder problems (probably because of fluoride) but may kill you anyway.
What a strange world indeed.
May 14th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Maybe this is a test to see just how many people are so intoxicated on meds that they won’t know this article isn’t about meds. Just a thought.

Say no to drugs, go natural medicine. Garlic-natural antibiotic.
Now Message for today.
LIFE IS SHORT! HEAVEN AND HELL ARE FOREVER.
THE ONLY WAY A PERSON WILL ESCAPE THE FLAMES OF HELL AND GO TO HEAVEN IS TO REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND PUT THEIR FAITH AND TRUST IN THE MERITS OF JESUS CHRST.
MONEY, FUN, AND FRIENDS CANNOT STOP DEATH.
AFTER DEATH IS THE JUDGMENT OF GOD.
HELL IS GOD’S JUDGMENT FOR PEOPLE THAT SIN AGAINST GOD.
HELL IS A REAL PLACE.
HELL IS A FURNANCE OF FIRE.
IN HELL A PERSON IS ALL ALONE.
HOW SAD! MOST PEOPLE WHEN THEY DIE WILL BE IN HELL.
RELIGIONS HAVE BEEN WRONG BUT THE BIBLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRONG.
IF YOUR RELIGION DON’T MATCH THE BIBLE THEN IT’S TIME TO CHANGE RELIGIONS.
JESUS CHRIST IS GOD, AND THE BIBLE IS HIS BOOK.
THE KJV BIBLE HAS NO ERRORS NOR CONTRADICTIONS.
THE BIBLE IS 100% SCIENTIFICALLY, AND HISTORICALLY, AND PROPHETICALLY CORRECT.
READ IT, STUDY IT, MEMORIZE IT, BELIEVE IT, AND OBEY IT, YOU CANNOT GO WRONG.
ONLY ONE LIFE AND SOON WILL BE PAST, ONLY WHAT IS DONE FOR CHRIST WILL LAST.

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.
Your fundamentalist Christian dogma is just as bad as anything we are fed by the MSM or the Pentagon’s PSYOP flunkies. The KJV bible contains no contradictions? Bullshit. There were no errors in translation? Bullshit. Let’s see you translate Aramaic into English flawlessly. I don’t think that’s even possible.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
#12 I can tell by your foul language you don’t know what I am talking about. Also, you probabally have never read the KJV to be able to critizise it.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
heart disease, diabetes, and obesity and virtually any non-infectous disease is caused by the effects of carbohydrate in your diet. Fact: Humans are carnivores. continue consuming vegetation at your own risk. If you don’t beleive me do your research. If you don’t have time, then just watch daytime news on network tv for a few days, take note of everything they recommend you do for your health, and do the exact opposite. The same thing applies for any governmental health agencies’ recommendations. This strategy will keep you healthy wealthy and wise. Don’t give one more dollar to big pharma. I’ve eaten almost nothing but as much red meat, eggs, butter and water as I want for one year and I haven’t exercised at all. In the first 6 months I lost 120 pounds and in the next 6 months I lost another 10 and counting. Never felt better. Read some gary taubes or owsley stanley for the supporting science. Carnivorism is the past and the future of human health.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Only about half? What’s wrong with these profiteering idiots when they should be hitting a much higher number like 100%. They should be inventing more diseases so they can sell more pills, or they could just up the amount of fluoride or add some nerve gas to our drinking water.
I keep telling everyone this is why they have passed legislation allowing the Fed, Big Pharma and the DOD to have access to everyone’s medical & pharmaceutical files, which will be incorporated into everyone’s biometrics data involved with the National ID Card project. Once that network is established, they wll be more able to monitor all the cannaries that suffer with toxic symptoms from GMO’s which are being called allergies, asthma, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. These are the “inflamatory” diseases that lead on to more serious problems like liver & kidney failure, Parkensons, heart failure and even cancer.
In case no one knows, all of these are the result of many years of mild inflamation due to allergic reactions to GMO’s and all the other chemicals along with stress that we are now exposed to. Homeland Security wants to monitor this more closely so they can maximize profits, as they map out the human genome in terms of what is toxic to the different genotypes, allowing them to create the “perfect & totally stealth bio-weapon.”
In zis vay, zee Jews and undesirables vill die of zee “natural causes,” vith zee cronic condition according to zee health records. So, zee Jews and undesirables vill die zis vay and no one vill suspect zee covert medical eugenics and eradication program.
So now you can see zee New Vorld Orter, zee big idea, to control zee human population, making money killing zem and to keep zem alive – both ways. Now drink zee flouride, take zee mercury shots and get zee mercury tooth fillings, eat GMO’s and by all means “take zee pills” or we vill pass zee law to make all pills mandatory if one wants their National Health Care benifits.

You guys gotta read KEVIN TRUDEAU’S book ” Natural Cures “THEY’ Don’t want you to know about”. Explains everything from how the NWO has created a secret system of making Americans sicker in order to sell more drugs which actually make people even sicker. That’s why people take more drugs today than ever before and yet disease is at an alltime high. If you read Chapter 2 “An offer I couldn’t refuse ” in his second book “More Natural Cures Revealed” it will blow your mind. He even sites how he was recruited into a secret society (NWO). He has since then left and has come under the attack of the governmnet now. If you do a search on kevin Trudeau you will find a lot of shit said about him that will make you think he’s a scam artist. Kind of like the same propaganda they pull w/ Ron Paul.

There is a wealth of information available on health and I do think Kevin Trudeau has some really good info.
There is no doubt we are not suffering disease because we are deficient in drugs! I mean it’s ludicrous. Trace minerals and other nutrients are what we are deficient in. Our food is grown on soil that has long since been depleted of nutrients and then that deficient food is processed to hell and chemicals are added. It’s hardly surprising then that most people are sick. In fact most of us have no idea of what health is… we think it’s the absence of disease! How our standards have been lowered!

#15-Blacksmith:, You are hitting this right on the head! Why not have most people putting “Online’ in a “database” YOUR INFORMATION what your taking for perscriptions. Your doing there work for them and making it easier to “monitor” what you have and what your taking for the problem. “Technology” the New Worlds Order new Bio weapon to watch and control whos taking what for what decease and how much. You are there Lab rats they are using to do there Lab tests on and to keep records what your health is doing, Whether worsening or sustaining. There using “Insurance governed medications so the expense comes out of OUR accounts. What did you all do when you went to school. I think most have flunked out of Commen Sense class 101. what can i tell you about perscriptions? Try taking a look at one company i worked for that made pharmacuetical Gelatin used in making capsuls for Medications. Read what they made US as employees add to the productions of Gelatin which is used in making Pharmacueticals. Please read and you guess if you could have taken of these capsuls years ago? Open site and then scroll towards the bottom to the comment page.

I personally worked hand in hand with the Geletin process for over 16 years. Had Hands on experience in Pork as well as bone manufacturing of Photographic,Food Grade as well as Pharmacuetical Geletin.I helped set up as an operator, the “Projected yield” as it turned out projected the pounds we could process out of a days production.I also worked in the rendering end of the process.i could see just from the extracted waste water i was to treat and render the Grease remains from process. I could “see” or project from the processing water remains what the Clairity and viscosity of the Geletin would be BEFORE it was dried and ran in final process. Through arguements and shared results descussions went one-way many times,resulting in producing low Property processed Geletin.
Then in 2001,The plant i worked for,Had produced pharmacuetical Geletin From Ossien bone containing the Much feared Made-Cow Bone From France,England and Germany. These arguements Helped add to my job displacement,along with other personal job related issues as with stress,leading to tardiness,and shift work hours effecting my performance,which eventually led to my dismissial,or as they claim,Had me fired for.
My worries then,as well as today is this. The Plants bi-product they made from this process is “Animal feed”. The medical discovery from
“Mad Cow” was “Creutzfeldt-Jakob Decease” Inheritantly was caused from animals eating Infected reprocessed “Animal Feed” which is the Bi-product we made at this plant and sold to other processors which in turn sold it as animal feeds to Canadian farmers as supplimental food for there cattle.
I came to learn that this plant i worked at had received from England those animal bones from these cattle that were to be condemned and done away with. We initiated into the process sometimes around 10,000-15,000 lbs. of this “Condemned’ bone into each daily process till there said silo was emptied.This went into processed Pharmacuetical Geletin Lot,then sold to there customer, capsulgel at the time. Remembering our “Processed bi-product”Rendered into animal meal and then sold as “Animal feed”. This addition was not “Logged” in there boil,or put on there books. The situation in Canada in 2003,of another “Mad Cow Scare”, I firmly believe came from these additions and processes. My only Fear would be,the Pharmacueticals,would they be introducing into the Medical field now, more serious problems or reasons beyond there knowledge or control? Leaves a question in my mind to this day?

Actually, I don’t take any medications and haven’t for years now.
The one point I was attempting to make is that “all inflamatory diseases” of which there are many, are a direct result of being exposed to mild toxins in our food, air, water and also by prescription. Any alergy from asthma, to arthritis, to conjestive heart and even cancer, is the direct result of years of exposure to allergens.
What most people do not understand is that these so called mild allergies become a life threatening disease after so many years of exposure. Exactly what it is that triggers these allergies includes, GMO’s, plastics, flouride, mercury, pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and of course prescription medications.
If you will recall back to the Homeland Security Bill, they wanted to monitor all the cannaries purchasing antihistamines at pharmacies, to supposedly detect the early onset of a bio or chemical weapon. The real truth is they want to set up a “Dammage Control Network” to monitor everyone’s reactions to the new GMO’s and other toxins we are being fed on a daily basis.
I posted only to warn others about allergies and the causes and reactions, that over time lead to life threatening diseases and to let people know they are now being monitored like gunea pigs.
Case in hand. I recently read an article in the American Journal of Medicine, that eating beef every day increase one’s risk to getting lung cancer above that of smoking. This is where most people fail to see the allergy connection, that beef contains allergens, that often results in an asthma like condition or even a sinus or arthritic condition and that congestive heart disease, alshiemers, etc., can be the end result after many years of exposure. When people have years of exposure to an allergen, they develope plaques, toxic fat and mineral deposits all throughout their body. Arterial plaque-heart disease is the result of years of exposure to allergens and toxins, that cause mineral-fatty acid deposits to build up within the arteries. This is the direct result of years of exposure to mild allergens, similar to the way calcium deposts into one’s joints with arthritis, which is another type of allergy driven disease.
You can just about measure your own involvement in these gunea pig experiments, by your allergy quotent and how much anti-inflammatory meds you need. Most people do not know that most meds today are just a from of antihistamine, as Big Pharma plays with everyone’s immune system, turning off & on all the different immune responces. Many, many more will die and this is the new DOD technology, bigger than any atomic bomb and how to turn people off and on, mentally and physically.
Our new laws have NOTHING to do with finding the terrorists and have EVERYTHING to do with passing laws that allow them to make us all guinea pigs and to execute whom ever they wish, as the good doctors prescribe meds for everything from BP, to stiff joints, to asthma, ED, diabetes, etc., as they flip all the switches off and on to see how we work and what kills the enemy, in terms of man made natural causes – very stealth and over everyone’s heads.
I’m not joking around, this is what’s really being done.

#16, I wouldnt trust that guy 1 friggen bit!! lol
He has been charged with fraud and credit card fraud, I dont buy things from people that de-frauded others.
But we cant all dog medicine, without it most of us would be dead. I would have died at 10, from my appendix. Instead, still trucking on in my 30s =D
Penicillin was one of the greatest discoveries of all times, and at some point, saved most of our lives, and/or family members.
The problem is everything now of days is everything is a disease, things that used to just be your problem like being fat, are now diseases.
A Saw a commercial the other day, I almost peed my pants…..
It was a spray for stuffy noses……Side effects may include:
Heart failure
Brain Damage
Fainting OR
Loss of eye sight!!!!!!!! WTF??????????? FOR A STUFFY NOSE????? LMAO!!! And that is the problem with this world lol.

#12 RtR In the words of Kristofferson you “….are a walking contradiction,
partly fact and partly fiction…”
As for me and the medical field, I’ve been in an affair with’em for
#16 years but since Alex woke me up, I go for the appt., have 50%
control (after reading contraindications to assure they don’t shut me
down), I pick up the meds, cut them up, am weaning myself gradually
using good sense, flax seed, borax, Himalayan salt, vitamins, minerals,
colloidal silver (in moderation) and eat like a queen on very little money.
Although that cholesteral thingie is pure bullshit (for one men need it to
keep their sperm healthy) I eat apples like crazy.
The Lord does not want us stoned into oblivion. “Body, Mind and Spirit”
huh Preacher? I am becoming healthy, my vitamins, minerals and herbs
and spices adjusted my appetite and taste buds, I need less food
and feel better than I’ve ever felt in my soon to be (June 6) 63 years.
Birthday presents are welcome. How about a Burkey water purifier
or Food dehydrator? Just kidding.

“The most widely used drugs are those to lower high blood pressure and cholesterol — problems often linked to heart disease, obesity and diabetes.”
That’s what you get for stuffing your fkn fat greedy selves with junk food and alcohol.
Take some fkn responsibility for yourselves.
The NWO and pharmaceutical companies are making mass profit because the world is full of fat fkn self-indulgent self-interested idiots.

Ok, here’s something.
Diabetes is supposed to be caused by one of two things. Hereditary linkage, or over eating. I’ve got news for you. In the Material Safety Data sheets that are packed with printing inks for commercial printing industries (lithographic and silkscreen inks) diabetes is a by-product of exposure to the inks. So is nuerological damage.
So now consider; all articles popularly published about diabetes, or all told by your family doctor (as he’s been taught) will tell you there are ONLY the hereditary or dietary factors.
So why is this subtle fact about inks, withheld?
Perhaps there is an agent in our atmosphere similar to the ingredient in inks, or some agent within our environment otherwise, that causes diabetes …or high cholesterol…or the anxiety that many people are getting.
Another fact: the drug spironolactine used to treat hormone imbalance- can cause fatigue-like, depressive symptoms. SO can also the drug Fortamet used for blood glucose regulation. Upon taking one drug, a person might be also mis-diagnosed with a condition which they do not have, which is really only a side effect of the drug they are already prescribed.
I don’t think the pharmaceutical companies don’t know this. I also think the desire to sell prescription drugs would necessitate the desire to find different means to create the illnesses and conditions those drugs are used to treat.
And as a by-product of this diabolical idea, the elite globalists want to deplete our population by 80%, it is said.
So you have the drug companies benefitting from making us sick, because they sell the meds. You have the globalists benefitting from making us sick, because they want to decrease the population. The globalists probably have stock in the pharm. co.’s, to make it even more sickening.
I find it highly credible, given the combined goals of these two factions and the evidence that exists regarding the cause of illnesses, that the conditions necessitating medication are manufactured.
Furthermore, we have chemtrails and the particulates contained within those are suspicious. Perhaps we’re being made sick by chemtrails, polluted water, food, and who knows what else.

response to billy:
billy, if you’ve read my response to another article here about pollution, you’ll see how I said the propaganda is to make each and every one of us to blame for everything gone wrong.
Here, you demonstrate the absorbtion of that brainwash, sadly. Read on. There are other things that cause diabetes than just diet. ANd I would surmise that may be the same for high cholesterol. But why not point a finger at the unregulated food industry that uses cheap ingredients that happens to be bad for us? Aren’t they just now being taken to accountability?
May 23rd, 2008 at 11:22 am
You never hear about those girls over seas anymore whom were cured (got to the point of no insulin) their diabetes with stem cells.
May 23rd, 2008 at 11:28 am
Ever heard the term, “Playing the game from both sides”? That’s what this is. Vaccinations have caused most of the health issues in America and most people aren’t connecting the dots. The same bozos that are pushing these mycoplasmas (synthetic viruses and the organisms they contain due to the method used to manufacture them) are the same ones that are doling out the drugs to ease the “symptoms”. Diabetes is not genetic. It is being caused by a continual usage of the vaccine that carries the virus that creates the imbalance within the body. In the case of diabetes, that would be the GUT.

#23, you need to realize that people CAN repent for their past sins. Trudeau indeed sinned, but he is allowed to repent just like everybody else.
June 2nd, 2008 at 12:06 am
Darth Chaos…
Indeed those can repent, but only if they have the heart and morals to do so, which those in supreme power has fundamentally destroyed through planned execution and deliberation. I am currently reading Trudeau’s book Natural Cures, and although I am only a little bit through it, sure is a lot of shit in it already. When I lost my grandpa on my mothers side earlier this year, I knew it was from some sort of meds he was on, whatever it may have been, and have searched for answers. Since he was cremated, there was no official autopsy, but from what I heard happened, it had to do something with his heart, what exactly I’ll never know. The thing was, he died out of the blue, after all, I last spoke with him bout 2.5 weeks before he died, and although his hearing wasn’t the best (never was for the last 10 yrs of his life), he sounded happy and healthy as he had ever been. The same goes for my grandpa on my fathers side who passed away in 1999, for both in the month of January, where cancer and whatever therapy he may have gone for weakened him both physically and mentally, making his last years of life, and any personal memories I have of him, since I was only 11 years old at the time to be forgettable at best. The image of seeing him in his weakened state for as far back as I could remember is unshakeable, and I hope to not die via a cancer of some sorts, even though I have to change my ways, which I am beginning to do gradually via his book. No immediate results yet, but I am encouraged for my future in terms of my health.
