You may not be aware of this but most clinical trials are conducted overseas where regulation is virtually nonexistent and a simple mistake can end up people in graves. Did you know that everyday more than 4,000 people have adverse drug reactions and end up being admitted to the hospital? Take a look at the infographic below to see how prescription drugs are becoming a public health crisis in itself.

    Ah, idiotic “info”grams. Maybe you should find out the true statistics before spewing bullshit. Such as that the amount of prescribtion drugs versus the usage of illegal drugs is more than tenthousandfold, if not more. So the ”Kills 300% more” is merely fearmongering bullshit statistics. The true ratio between the 2 would be ”related to user amounts, prescribtion drugs kill 0.024% americans when compared to illegal drugs”

    And seriously? “leading causes of death” #4 prescribtion drugs? Do people really really believe this kind of crap? Here’s the list made by CDC;
    * Heart disease: 616,067
    * Cancer: 562,875
    * Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 135,952
    * Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 127,924
    * Accidents (unintentional injuries): 123,706
    * Alzheimer’s disease: 74,632
    * Diabetes: 71,382
    * Influenza and Pneumonia: 52,717
    * Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 46,448
    * Septicemia: 34,828

    Do not be stupid. Don’t believe in these lies.
