Drug shortages seem to be igniting some problems for pharmaceutical companies  and health officials – so much so that president Barack Obama previously issued  an executive order demanding that the Food and Drug Administration address the  shortages. Per Obama’s request, the FDA is taking action and continues to fight  the drug shortages traversing the United States. Despite mostly being mostly  manufactured in China with virtually no inspection, mega-tumor-linked  pharmaceutical drugs are now being rolled out more than ever before.

It was only last month when we reported on the struggle pharmaceutical  companies are going through with filling prescriptions for ADHD. More  than 18 million prescriptions were written for Adderall in 2010,  up 13.4 percent from 2009. While pharmaceutical companies would normally be  thrilled about this, they are actually struggling  to acquire enough  of the active ingredient used in the drug, Adderall, to ‘treat’ the ‘disease.  This is leading to complications for the drug companies since they are unable to  provide for the high demand. Of course the information showing that ADHD can be  combated with simple  dietary changesis of no concern to drug giants.

Now, the Food and Drug Administration has announced on Tuesday that they will  be taking  measures to increase the supply of two other drugs – Methotrexate, a drug  for children with leukemia, and Doxil, a drug used to ‘treat’ various cancers.  Until the FDA successfully increases available supplies of the original drugs, substitute drugs from overseas will be implemented for United  States patients. Nearly half of all pharmaceutical  drugs within the United States are already produced overseas, with a  shocking 81% of the 3,765 unregulated foreign factories never  having been inspected by the FDA.

Is an executive order from the president forcing the FDA to supply the nation  with more pharmaceutical drugs the answer to the nation’s health crisis? It  isn’t a pharmaceutical drug deficiency that is causing such health ailments, but  rather a weak immune system deficient in vital vitamins and nutrients. There  have been some great advancements in the field of nutritional science, but  pharmaceutical drugs have become the only ‘solution’ as far as the medical  establishment goes. Interestingly, There have been zero deaths as a result  of vitamins and over 3 million deaths related to prescription  drug use over the past 27 years.

But why are natural solutions – which actually have virtually no side effects  and boost overall immunity – being ignored?

Turmeric alone is known to  positively affect  over 573 diseases and has even decreased brain tumor size in  animals by 81 percent in more than 9 studies. So why hasn’t turmeric been  recommended as an inexpensive and powerful solution, potentially saving  billions in healthcare costs per year? Instead, government organizations like  the CDC and the FDA push pharmaceuticals on the public while suppressing many  health-promoting supplements like turmeric  and vitamin  D.

The pharmaceutical industry is prospering. With each drug comes an average  of 70 negative side-effects, all of which are targeted by yet another  pharmaceutical for treatment. It is an endless cycle of pharmaceuticals  which must be taken for a lifetime. Advancements are great, but the current  mainstream medial system is a complete failure.
