The phenomenon of excessive consumption of drugs is a worldwide phenomenon. The U.S. has the highest per capita drug consumption by far. Chronic morbidity has reached epidemic proportions, and with them, the consumption of prescription drugs and various supplements breaks every possible record. The public quiets its conscience that it leads an unhealthy lifestyle and diet through the massive consumption of drugs and supplements.
- The public is utterly unaware of the fact that drugs for chronic diseases are intended only to relieve symptoms and cannot cure the disease because drugs do not act on the mental and physical causes of the disease. Medications for prolonged use have severe side effects and put a tremendous strain on the immune system and thus perpetuate the disease!
- Excessive drug use is one of the leading causes of death. According to experts, most often in the context of synthetic opium-based drugs (opiates), at the same time, drugs for prolonged use have a destructive effect on the human body.
One would expect countries to initiate coordinated campaigns on the medical establishment to reduce medication intake among the chronically ill sharply. All of course, in coordination with the attending physicians. With a deep understanding that only strengthening the immune system through improved lifestyle (mental and physical) along with a healthy diet can bring about recovery and eliminate bothersome symptoms.
The problem is that such an advertising campaign is against the interests of pharmaceutical companies, and no politician would want to get involved with such rich and influential bodies.
There is no need to bring graphs or numbers. A quick search reveals an unprecedented phenomenon! The modern world is addicted to drugs and supplements, and the situation is only getting worse.
