Commentary by Mike Adams, the creator of this cartoon:

This cartoon shows what you do every time you put a pharmaceutical in your mouth, whether it's an over-the-counter painkiller or a powerful statin drug. FDA-approved pharmaceuticals kill so many Americans each year that the numbers are equivalent to dropping a nuclear bomb on a major U.S. city once each year.

As even drug companies have been forced to admit, all drugs have unintended side effects. That's because drugs are non-specific chemicals: They don't target only the tissues with "disease," they end up hijacking the biochemistry throughout the body.

Take blood pressure drugs, for example (er... don't take them, actually). When a person's blood pressure is high, it's because their blood is sludge-like and too viscous (due to diet, lack of healthy oils, etc.). Also, their arteries may be clogged due to the build up of plaque on arterial walls.
