Product Description
The recent deaths of celebrities like Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole Smith, Heath Ledger and Whitney Houston have shown a spotlight on the overuse and abuse of prescription drugs. Most people believe that prescription drugs are safer than illegal substances. But, when combined with other over-the-counter sedatives, prescription drugs can be every bit as powerful, addictive and dangerous. In 2006, overdoses on a class of prescription pain relievers called opioid analgesics killed more people than those killed by overdoses of cocaine and heroin combined. Right now, among 35- to 54-year-olds, poisoning by prescription drugs is the most common cause of accidental death ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«Ì´å even more common than automobile accidents. In "Medicines That Kill", Dr. James L. Marcum shines a light on the addictive power of prescription medication and how you can protect yourself and your family by practicing healthy habits.
What the medical community isnÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«ÌÎÌÊt telling you:
- We have a rapidly escalating problem.
- Medications can kill.
- Medications do kill.
- Medications have killed.
- Not nearly enough is being said about this growing epidemic.
In "Medicines That Kill", Dr. Marcum shows why he believes that medications may very well be the No. 1 cause of death in America and outlines the biblical plan for physical and spiritual health, prescribed by the Great Physician himself.
