I am glad that I am not in his district because I would consider voting against him even it is on principle.Sincerely YoursTimAccidental Death From Prescription Drugs Alternative Medicine Magazine, Issue #25Accidental death from prescription drugs, even when they are correctly given, is now the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.Before you pop another prescription pill, think carefully. Just because your doctor prescribed it is no guarantee you’ll benefit from it or even emerge unscathed from the experience. That prescription pill could be hazardous to your health - and life.Ask Stephen Fried.He wishes he could have read his own book, “Bitter Pills: Inside the Hazardous World of Legal Drugs,” (Bantam Books, 1998), before his wife, Diane Ayres, go “floxed” from a bad drug side effect. Diane took a single pill of an antibiotic called Floxin for a urinary tract infection and a few hours later ended up in the emergency room with acute delirium.Serious side effects happen often enough with Floxin, an FDA-approved drug, that those in the know refer to the experience, in a kind of grim flippancy, as getting “all floxed up.”But for Diane, getting floxed up didn’t end only with a flurry of medical concern and a battery of tests by hospital staff. Floxin triggered her genetic predisposition to neurological illness which then manifested as mood disorders and manic depression. These in turn required a series of “heavy- duty drugs” to undo, says Fried.The experience was a deeply traumatic one for Fried and inspired him to find out how such an event could happen. it turns out it happens a lot.“An investigative journalist and exasperated husband, I am trying to find out if my wife was the victim of a pharmacological foul- up or just a statistically acceptable casualty of ‘friendly fire’ in the war on disease.” By the time you finish reading Fried’s chilling expose’ of the world of prescription drugs, it’s clear Diane Ayres’ situation was not a foul-up but a friendly fire casualty, one of millions, in fact - business as usual in the world of legal drugs.Fried learned that well over 100,000 Americans die every year from adverse reactions to prescription drugs and that drug side effects are a leading cause of death in the U.S. (See “The FDA’s Skewed Policies,” this issue, pp 104 - 105.)The worst thing that can happen to you when you take a legal drug is not that it won’t work, but that you might drop dead, Fried Says. “The next worse is that your body is permanently damaged.”A little further down the list of drug-induced disasters is that you fall into that seemingly endless “cascade of prescribing” where you need a half dozen strong drugs to undo the side effects of the first one, and then a lot of time to recover from the effects of all of them, as Diane Ayres learned the hard way.Let’s enlarge our perspective a little and look at the scope of prescription drug sales and adverse drug reactions in the U.S.We’re talking about an $85-billion-a-year U.S. market for pharmaceuticals, based on 1996 data. Coupled to this figure is a steady yearly rise in consumer prices for the top 500 prescription drugs at a rate that exceeds inflation.The hidden cost of this drug “bonanza” is only beginning to emerge. New studies show that mistakes in drug prescribing and side effects from prescription drugs cost at least $76 billion a year (and could be as high as $136 billion, according to other estimates) in extra medical costs. The largest factor contributing to the additional cost is adverse drug effects requiring hospitalization. These mistakes may also double the risk of death.Remember, Fried’s data deals with correctly prescribed drugs; you have to add to this the costs and consequences of incorrectly prescribed medications.The misuse of prescription drugs, leading to injury and death, represents a “serious medical problem” that “urgently” requires attention, according to “Archives of Internal Medicine.”To put this in perspective, in 1994, the year this data was collected, Americans spent over $73 billion on prescription drugs. This averages out to $292 per person to buy the drugs and an additional $306 to treat the adverse effects of using these drugs. The math is simple: that’s about $600 for every American man, woman, and child in the U.S.A new study of 1,580 cases tracked at a single hospital over a year shows that adverse drug events (ADEs) were involved in 2.4 per 100 admissions, producing an additional hospital stay of 1.9 days, costing $2,262, and increasing the risk of death by 1.88 - a nearly twofold increase. Out of 91,574 patients admitted to a single hospital over a three-year period, 2.43% (2,227) experienced ADEs.According to the study, ADEs may account for 140,000 deaths per year in the U.S.A six-month study tracking 4,108 admissions at two hospitals reported similar results. There were 247 ADEs among 207 admissions (some people had several ADEs), requiring an average of 2.2 extra days of hospitalization at a cost of $3,244 per person. For ADEs that were judged to be preventable, 4.6 extra hospital days per person were required, costing $4,685. The estimated average cost attributable to both types of ADEs for a typical 700-bed hospital is $8.4 million per year.A third study indicated the types of prescribing errors doctors typically commit, based on data collected over a year from a 631-bed hospital. Pharmacists reviewed 2,103 prescribing errors and found that the error rate was 3.99 per 1,000 drug prescriptions. Among these, 12% of the errors involved overlooking patient allergy to the type of drug, 11% were due to incorrect dosages, and another 11% to using the wrong drug name.In yet another study, researchers reported that about 30% of the prescribing errors were due to lack of knowledge regarding drug therapy, 29% to lack of knowledge regarding patient interactions with drugs, 17% to arithmetic mistakes, and 13% to using the wrong drug name.The error rate was highest (5.89 ADEs per 1,000 prescriptions) for pediatric patients, followed by 5.05 for emergency-room patients, 4.5 for obstetrics-gynecology, and 3.5 for surgical patients.

In its first month on the market, 1.7 million prescriptions were filled for the pill promising relief from erectile dysfunction.Yet soon after, 16 deaths occurred in users of Viagra, presumably from fatal drug interactions.Specifically, drugs given for heart pain (angina), such as nitroglycerin-based nitrate drugs, seemed to produce the most dangerous interaction with Viagra. In fact, there are at least 41 different nitroglycerin formulations or nitrate-based drugs that are believed to make a deadly combination with Viagra.With these facts in mind, it’s easier to understand the shock, outrage, and urge to find an alternative that inspired Fried both to help his wife heal from the bad effects of Floxin and to write his book.Fried also got a formidable political education in the course of his research.

Accidental Death From Prescription Drugs
Alternative Medicine Magazine, Issue #25

Accidental death from prescription drugs, even when they are correctly given, is now the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.Before you pop another prescription pill, think carefully. Just because your doctor prescribed it is no guarantee you’ll benefit from it or even emerge unscathed from the experience. That prescription pill could be hazardous to your health – and life.

Ask Stephen Fried.He wishes he could have read his own book, “Bitter Pills: Inside the Hazardous World of Legal Drugs,” (Bantam Books, 1998), before his wife, Diane Ayres, go “floxed” from a bad drug side effect.

But for Diane, getting floxed up didn’t end only with a flurry of medical concern and a battery of tests by hospital staff. Floxin triggered her genetic predisposition to neurological illness which then manifested as mood disorders and manic depression. These in turn required a series of “heavy- duty drugs” to undo, says Fried.The experience was a deeply traumatic one for Fried and inspired him to find out how such an event could happen. it turns out it happens a lot.

“An investigative journalist and exasperated husband, I am trying to find out if my wife was the victim of a pharmacological foul- up or just a statistically acceptable casualty of ‘friendly fire’ in the war on disease.” By the time you finish reading Fried’s chilling expose’ of the world of prescription drugs, it’s clear Diane Ayres’ situation was not a foul-up but a friendly fire casualty, one of millions, in fact – business as usual in the world of legal drugs.

The press release gives the impression that Waxman's efforts are in response to problems identified in the GAO report [http://energycommerce.house.gov/Press_111/20090302/gaoreport.pdf]; however on reading the GAO, it turns-out that the report is in response to specific questions posed by Waxman. Waxman's attempted to slip (sneak) this new legislation into the Wall Street reform legislation.The logical implications are that this attack on vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbs is part of a backroom deal that was made with the pharmaceutical industry to gain their support of the recently passed flawed health care reform bill.There is a major way brewing between the drug industries (including the pharmaceutical industries and much of the AMA) versus the natural health industries (including vitamins, nutritional supplements, herbs, whole foods, alternative health therapies). Pharmaceutical drugs have been shown to be a leading cause of death in the U.S. because of secondary drug reactions, organ failures, etc. Holistic natural health strategies, to the extent that they are effective for an individual, provide safer, healthier and less expensive benefits. The pharmaceutical drug industries would like to have nutritional supplements regulated as drugs to suppress their availability. Since natural products are unpatentable, there is very little likelihood that packagers of these products would be willing to pay the vast amounts of money necessary to get an unpatentable natural 'drug' approved. The effect would be to stifle competition from natural products.So far, each attempt to regulate vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbs as drugs has failed, but the pharmaceutical industries have deep pockets, and there are many people in Congress that they apparently own. If Waxman has become a lackey for the pharmaceutical industries, then it is time to replace him with someone willing to do the people's business.

HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WITH THE STATE OF OUR COUNTRY, THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR WAXMAN. HOW MUCH HAS BIG PHARMA GIVEN HIM? HE HAS TOOOOO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS!

This is simply awful and unacceptable. Millions of people, including myself, do not have to take dangerous prescription drugs because natural supplements keep us healthy with no side effects. I think the government needs to focus on regulating the industries which need to be regulated and leave the natural supplement companies alone.

The fact that this sort of thing is done all the time in Washington is only an excuse for bad behavior, not a good reason to do it. We do not need or want any more government interference in our lives. Leave supplements alone and get on with the real business you were sent to do: protect the American people and defend the constitution. Neither is being done in Washington now. Government IS THE PROBLEM, not the solution. Please work to defeat this bad bill, or at least kill the Waxman amendment.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Sincerely, Lowell E Berg If the Waxman amendment is a good thing, why was it attached to a totally unrelated bill, at the last moment?

STAY OUT of supplements!!!!! Can it be made any more clear to you aholes???? Just because you are getting money from special interests for your "work" doesn't give you the right to take away my freedom of choice. Go find something much more worthy of the money you are being paid by taxpayers for your job. There are many MUCH MORE worthy causes that don't include taking away America's freedom.

To curtail the availability of naturopathic substances is an infringement on the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, as well as property.We are in an economic depression, yet Congress is trying to pass a bill which will break an entire industry and put people out of jobs. Nice sign of empathetic concern for others, eh? Some people depend on naturopathics for maintenance of health and even for---god forbid, how dare we say it----cure. Lack of empathy for others is not a normal state of affairs, and those lacking it do not belong walking the streets, let alone in public office. I leave it up to the general public to question whether or not you are mentally fit to serve in public office. If you don't care about economic survival and health survival, the answer is that you probably are not. PS I want to add:

A) We pay you to uphold, defend and protect the Constution
B) We do *not* pay you to infringe on our rights in a criminal way that affects human health and free choice, that would be ludicrous
C) People depend on naturopathic substances if they cannot tolerate mainstream medication or if they simply want to choose otherwise.

The 14th amendment states:
“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

It's not only the nature of the market; it's human nature. Yet how strange it is when some politicians trumpet the "free market," but the moment the people act in accordance with it and vote with their wallets for alternative medicine, these same politicians try to thwart them by legislating the market in favor of the big pharmaceutical companies.

It is either ignorance or lobbyist pac money that keep someone like Henry Waxman continually finding a way to deprive people of their right to alternative and safe methods of treatment with supplements and herbs. In today's world there is a place for both conventional and natural supplements and herbs. People are finding profound life saving value in their access and use. The industry is already sufficiently regulated. Let's be ever vigilant and ban together to prevent those who would deny us access to supplements and herbs.

How many deaths from alternative medicine compared to the deaths from drugs that only mame and put a band aid for awhile until another drug is needed to help what the last drug caused. It goes on and on until death sets in. I'm not saying that there is not a need for allopathic medicine. I'm just saying that alternative saved lives and makes people healthy. We certainly need hospitals and doctors also. Natural medicine is the only thing that I have ever found to bring health and healing and now you want to take it away. Just look at the stats.

As Americans we should have the right to choose how we treat our own health and not be forced to use prescription drugs, which is what the drug companies want to accomplish. Prescription drugs are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US and they always have unpleasant side effects. Personally, I like to take care of myself so that I don't become sick by eating the right foods and taking supplements to enrich my health and safeguard against potential disease and health threats. Food supplements are safe and do not cause unpleasant side effects. Therefor I am apposed to any law which will restrict my access to these supplements and/or any natural foods and extracts.

Waxman has chosen to attach an amendment giving the 5 (five) people reaching and binding powers over many items, including DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS. You and I both know that these supplements are ALREADY being overseen by the FDA (within the DSHEA regulations). The FTC was already seen to be an abusive power, and Congress did something about it in the past. For financial stability of the middle-class, it would behoove you to vote NO for this amendment, which favors the Pharmaceutical Companies (who already make a HUGE profit because of their unbelievable hike of prices as compared to the real costs of the drugs). In conjunction with a bill which will help the economy, the FTC amendment will help to DESTROY the middle class' personal economy...and take away the choices they have now for their health. Supplements and other dietary measures have brought back many to good health when the Doctors and Pharmaceuticals have proved to be no longer effective. I sincerely hope that you take your precious time to be made aware of this situation, and vote AGAINST any amendments favoring the FTC. Thank You for Your Time and Consideration.
