Readers who’ve been with me for a while know that I bring a different perspective to events and trends. And that is because, despite mountains of propaganda on all sides, I refuse to forget about the Individual and his enormous potential.
Once again, in the case of medical drugs, I take up that sword.
The addiction to medical drugs is fueled by the invention of a disease-label for every conceivable behavior and human reaction under the sun.
These inventions attack a vulnerability summed up by people who say to themselves, ‘Maybe there’s something wrong with me that I don’t know about.’
The vulnerability increases, because the individual is forgetting he has an independent existence. As this amnesia sets in, what takes the place of his intrinsic confidence? A general sense of dependency.
Here’s the dependency formula: ‘I need to rely on others to understand myself; I need to listen to the advice of friends and family; I need to listen to the experts; I need to belong to the group; I need to think as the group thinks; we all need to wear our disease-and-disorder diagnoses as badges of pride and honor.’
In other words, in society, we have a complete reversal of what constitutes pride and honor. Under the guise of showing ‘sympathy for the afflicted,’ a massive psyop is underway to promote the notion that we are all afflicted and confessing to it is good thing.
With all this in mind, let’s get to a few facts.
According to “Medical News Today,” in 2011 the number of drug prescriptions written in the US. was 4.02 billion.
Yes, 4.02 billion prescriptions for drugs in America.
That’s an average of roughly 13 prescriptions for each man, woman, and child.
That’s about one prescription every month for every American.
The Medical News Today article concluded, “…the industry should be heartened by the growth of the number of prescriptions and spending.”
Yes, I’m sure the drug industry popped champagne corks.
We’re talking about prescriptions here. We’re not talking about the number of pills Americans took. We’re not counting over-the-counter drugs or vaccine shots.
“Pharmacopoeia,” a 2011 exhibition at the British Museum, estimated that “the average number of pills a person takes in his or her own lifetime in the UK is 14,000.” That’s as a result of prescriptions. Including over-the-counter drugs, the 14,000 number would swell to about 40,000 pills taken in a lifetime.
