Death by prescription drug continues to be a major health problem in the United States, as Big Pharma remains influential and dominant in traditional medical practice.

That’s how a doctor in Washington state described it to me as we sat outside the state Capitol in Olympia,” wrote Dr. Sanjay Gupta, in paraphrasing a discussion he had with Gary Franklin, medical director for Washington state’s Department of Labor and Industries.
Franklin was lamenting a litany of “terrifying” cases where scores of innocent patients were killed by the very medications they had been prescribed, a worsening situation that had become “the saddest thing he had ever seen.”
