Doctors “betraying” the public by prescribing deadly, addictive prescription drugs

( Natural News ) Many people view their doctors as highly educated, trustworthy individuals with integrity, who always have their patients’ best interests at heart. While there can be no doubt that there are some truly noble, self-sacrificing members of the medical community, the truth is, for too long we have placed doctors on a pedestal of unshakable trust that many do not deserve. Doctors do not always diagnose their patients correctly; sometimes they do write prescriptions or order tests simply for their own financial gain; and some have turned their patients’ lives into a living hell, by prescribing dangerous prescription drugs with devastating side effects, and then leaving their helpless patients alone to deal with the fallout. One such victim is Fiona French , a social scientist from Edinburgh who was prescribed benzodiazepine drugs (benzos) for 40 years to treat her epilepsy. Benzos are tranquilizers which are often prescribed for panic attacks, muscle spasms, anxiety, pain, sleeplessness and depression. In the past, they were also prescribed for the treatment of epilepsy, since they have a relaxing effect on the muscles. In recent years, doctors have stopped recommending these drugs for that illness, but still write millions of scripts each year for benzodiazepines like Valium, Xanax, Restoril and Clonazepam for the treatment of other conditions. In 2011, over 49 million prescriptions were filled in the United States just for Xanax! (Related: Treat depression naturally with these nutrient supplements .) Despite the manufacturers’ warnings not to use these drugs for longer than a month, many people are given repeat prescriptions for years, leaving them addicted and miserable , as they try to cope with frightening side effects.
