A Nation of Drug Addicts:
The Frightening Hidden Consequences That Are Warping Our Future

by Amazon John Easterling

In less than a generation (a blink in time) we have witnessed a meteoric rise in the use of chemical pharmaceuticals. The human and animal populations in the U.S. have become saturated in drugs. Here are some shocking statistics that give reason to pause:

  • $42 billion in pharmaceuticals were sold in 1991.
  • $113 billion in pharmaceuticals were sold in 1999.

In 1999, there were 2.8 billion prescriptions filled in the U.S. (That's an astonishing 10 prescriptions for every man, woman and child in the country.) There are currently one million people receiving chemotherapy drugs. These drugs are extraordinarily toxic and by design largely non-biodegradable. These patients excrete 13 hundred million lbs. (1.3 billion lbs.) of chemo laden bodily waste directly into the sewage system.

Wastewater treatment facilities do not monitor water supplies for the presence of drugs. German scientists have found 30 to 50 pharmaceuticals in water samples that they have examined in various countries.

  • In 1949, there were 156,000 lbs. of antibiotics produced worldwide.
  • In 1999, there were 50,000,000 lbs. produced in the U.S. alone.

Twenty million lbs. of antibiotics go into livestock feed or pigs, chickens and cows that are destined for human consumption. The waste from these animals flows back into local ecosystems.

The American topsoil is literally awash in antibiotics where they continue to kill off bacteria. The 'good' bacteria in the soil are essential to facilitate decomposition and regeneration of plant life. The attempt to indiscriminately kill off all bateria in the ecosystem is causing mutations and evolutionary changes unparalleled in recorded biologic history.

The top two prescription drugs (by number of prescriptions written) are:

  • Premarin (a conjugated estrogen hormone)
  • Synthroid (a synthetic thyroid hormone)

Chris Metcalf, a researcheer at Trent University in Canada found 400 ppt of estrone in wastewater samples. When exposing fish to varying estrone levels in water he found the following results:

  • At 10 ppt fish began to exhibit intersexual changes (showing both male and female characteristics).
  • At 1000 ppt all males transformed into females.

The more people eat drugs, the more bizarre their behavior. There is in fact a frenzy of historic proportions of people demanding drugs -- from cheap drugs from Canada and drugs for seniors to drugs for children and drugs for pets. The notion of a war on drugs is completely absurd when prime time TV shows are being sponsored by advertisements from drug companies pushing drugs on anyone who can fog a mirror.

The potential silver lining in this madness is that the pendulum has swung so far into a drug-induced irrational exuberance that the crippling consequences to our species and our planet are now showing up on the radar screen. The horrific costs of this drug binge are being felt in both environmental and human mutations. In fact, eating pharmaceuticals has become one of the leasing causes of death. Three hundred people die every day in the U.S. from taking their prescriptions according to the directions. The evidence becomes more and more obvious that this grand experiment of massive drug use in our society has some very hideous side effects.

Since the beginning of time our bodies have been engineered to extract our nutrient matter and life force from the plant kingdom. There is a growing population who are still thinking clearly and turning to the natural vitality of wild plants. These plants include not only a full spectrum of nutrient matter but also a natural profile of healing intelligence not available in drugs or commercial foods.

As Col. P.H. Fawcett put it in 1903 in his book Lost Trails, Lost Cities, "The healthy robust tribes live not near easily navigable rivers but retire far beyond the range of civilized man. There I believe lay the greates treasure yet to be discovered by mankind."

The wisdom and truth of this great Amazonian explorer is ringing true and manifesting today.
