This was in an email I got from my ex chiropractor. Very interesting, scary, and anger inducing:

Americans are Medicating Themselves to Death
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control 130 million Americans swallow, inject, inhale, infuse, spray, and pat on prescribed medication every month - more per person than any other country. So many Americans die from drug reactions and mistakes each year that pharmaceuticals are the fourth-leading cause of death after heart disease, cancer and stroke.
"We are taking way too many drugs for dubious or exaggerated ailments," says Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine and author of The Truth About the Drug Companies. "What the drug companies are doing now is promoting drugs for long-term use to essentially healthy people. Why? Because it's the biggest market."
