    PRESCRIPTION DRUGS NOW KILL MORE PEOPLE IN THE US THAN HEROIN AND

    COCAINE COMBINED

    Prescription opioid painkillers are responsible for more fatal

    overdoses in the U.S. than heroin and cocaine combined, according to

    a new studyout of Brandeis University.

    Opioid painkillers include prescription narcotics such as like Vicodin

    (hydrocodone), OxyContin (oxycodone), Opana (oxymorphone) and methodone.

    An epidemic of prescription drug abuse is devastating American

    families and draining state and federal time, money and manpower, Rep.

    Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Appropriations Committee,

    said in a press release.

    The authors recommended that prescription drug monitoring programs

    shift from a reactive to a proactive approach by actions such as

    collecting prescribing data for all controlled substances, sending

    alerts about possible abuse to physicians and pharmacists, analyzing

    trend data to help law enforcement agencies identify pill mills that

    illicitly distribute prescription painkillers.

    Below is a presentationfrom the Pew Health Group (which fundedthe study) that lays out the extent of the problem:

    The medical and pharmaceutical industries prey on the ignorance of

    people to convince them to be on their medications like Valtrex.

    That is the truth, plain and simple. Anti-bodies really should be

    called Pro-bodies when they are produced naturally, because they are

    for or to help the body, not against (anti.) Now, if the body is

    tricked into producing antibodies by adding antigens injected intothe blood stream to generate an antibody response, then are we getting

    a true measure of the antibodies by these blood tests? Are these

    antibodies always going to show up on their tests to produce false

    positives? Is that their goal? And what about the adjuvants that are

    added. If an adjuvant such as Squalene has been introduced into the

    bloodstream, then the bodys own immune system will attack itself,

    causing an auto immune disease which we are seeing a lot of today -

    especially in regard to HIV. Many of the health issues we see today are

    really an artificially implanted auto immune response from the body and

    misdiagnosed as something different.

    Here is some very good reading in regard to this topic. Included is a

    quote from Andreas Moritzs book, Vaccine-nation, poisoning the

    population one shot at a time:

    The fact is that in order to create natural and real immunity to

    disease, a pathogen must provoke the complete inflammatory and immune

    response. This is a complex response that resonates throughout

    the bodys equally complex immune system. When this happens naturally,

    the body acquires life-long immunity to a particular germ. But for this

    to happen, the pathogen must pass through natural channels, from

    outside to inside. For instance, the pathogen must pass from the

    respiratory system or through the saliva or skin and then to the other

    organs involved in filtering it out such as the mucus membranes,

    thymus, liver and spleen.

    Vaccines do not do this. Instead, they completely bypass the outside-

    to-inside process by being directly injected, thereby failing to

    provoke the full immune response.

    By injecting a live but attenuated virus, parts of a virus or a deadvirus, vaccines trick the immune system into releasing antibodies

    against a particular pathogen. This shortcut, as it were, is what

    vaccine theory is based on and is seriously flawed.

    For instance, it was only later discovered that the immune system is

    composed of two parts. While one part is active, it suppresses the

    other part and vice-versa. Artificially stimulating one part of the

    system to produce antibodies abnormally inhibits the other part of the

    system and thus throws the entire immunological response out of gear.

    One of the major repercussions of this is that the body sometimes

    begins to produce antibodies that attack its own cells, thus

    creating an autoimmune disease. At least thats the theory behind such

    autoimmune disorders; but I will offer a slightly different

    explanation below. The organ that is affected depends on which tissues

    are attacked by the antibodies.

    Note: Again, it really doesnt matter what your tests results are

    showing.
