Harmful Drug Reactions - Causes of Harmful drug Reactions  - Drug-induced Nutrient Depletion

Accompanying modern nutritional diseases there are two new health problems affecting the adult population:

• Harmful drug reactions cause an estimated 106,000 deaths per year among hospital patients alone.
• Large, though uncounted numbers of senile mental disorders or dementias are ultimately traceable to the same poor diet and nutritional deficiencies.

The link between nutritional diseases, harmful drug reactions, and senile mental disorders is complex. 

• First, the low-fat, high-carbohydrate American diet is a major cause of the modern nutritional diseases.  Additionally this same diet is also a major cause of stroke-induced dementias and very likely a cause of Alzheimer’s disease. 
• Second, the widespread use of drugs to treat the nutritional diseases is causing millions of harmful drug reactions annually.  These harmful drug reactions span mental disorders, physical disabilities and deaths.
