Is America a drugged out country? - By: Dr. Steven Read

Medication and consumption of drugs are undoubtedly the proven ways to relieve you from various pains, diseases, and even, the life-endangering health conditions. However, have you ever imagined how negatively these drugs have been affecting the world? A sad reality is that a large number of people (for instance, over 125000 people annually, as per certain studies in 1990s) die each year due to the adverse effects of these medicines in America alone.

According to various reports of various reputed medical publications and results of studies, over a hundred million people consume prescription based or non-prescription medicines each year by swallowing, spraying, injections, inhaling, infusing etc. Moreover, the clinical trials of the medicines under development have been being conducted on a large number of people every year all over the USA and in several other countries in the world. Unfortunately, these life savior drugs have been causing grave results by causing adverse effects to people’s health. These adverse effects range from minor ailments, such as cough, fever, pain to some really serious problems, such as strokes, heart diseases, and even health conditions like cancers.

In addition to the adverse medical effects on the people’s health in America, the heavy consumption of medication has been also a major cause of expenditure in countless numbers of families. An average American family spends on medication an amount that would be sufficient for their car fuel usage for a month. As a result, the pharmaceutical industry in America has seen an exponential growth. However, the cost of this rapid development has been something more than money, i.e. the invaluable lives of people.

Realizing this, several people are now looking for the methods of treatment that do not involve extensive usage of medication. Drug-free ways of treatment, such as chiropractic care for patients suffering from injuries, pain and other ailments are increasingly gaining popularity as the preferred choice for many, as a result. Indeed, chiropractic care involves taking care of your wellness without relying on the medication, and instead, invoking the human body’s natural capability of healing itself at a faster rate than its medication-based counterparts.
