of shame: profit - driven research that virtually ignores unpatentable plant - based medicines, antibiotic overkill that yields invulnerable super-pathogens, and — according to a lead article in the April 15, 1998 issue
of the Journal
of the American Medical Association — an estimated 100,000 deaths a year in U.S. hospitals
directly caused by
adverse reactions to pharmaceutical
drugs.
