Other Drugs and Hypothyroidism Other, less common medications that can lead to hypothyroidism in people already predisposed include: Amiodarone: most commonly prescribed for heart rhythm disorders and containing large amounts of iodine, it also can cause thyroid inflammation that initially causes thyroid hormone levels to rise, explained Jeffrey Garber, MD, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, immediate past president of the American College of Endocrinology, and chief of endocrinology at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates in Boston. After this resolves, the thyroid gland is depleted and hypothyroidism, which may or may not be permanent, ensues. Interferon alpha: Used to treat hepatitis C and some cancers, Dr. Garber said that it may cause inflammation of the thyroid gland, known as thyroiditis, which can lead to hypothyroidism. Interleukin-2:Used to boost the immune system in cancer therapy, it can cause thyroiditis. Thalidomide: Although the onset of hypothyroidism from this cancer drug used to treat multiple myeloma is rare, thalidomide also may cause thyroiditis, Garber said. Bexarotene: best known for treating for cutaneous T cell lymphoma. Ipilimumab: used to treat melanoma by activating the immune system.

Hey, Mr. Obama: Prescription drugs kill 6200% more Americans than homicidal shootings

That study, which is twelve years old — and drug deaths have risen considerably since then — documents 106,000 deaths per year from the “adverse effects” of FDA-approved prescription medications. To reach this number from outbreaks of violent shootings, you’d have to see an Aurora Colorado Batman movie massacre take place every HOUR of every day, 365 days a year. If a massacre of people using slugs of lead is bad, why is a massacre of people using deadly chemicals perfectly acceptable? A medical massacre that dwarfs the number of deaths from shootings No one in Washington talks about prescription drug deaths. There are no sobbing victims shown on the evening news. This “chemical massacre” happens quietly, behind closed doors. Yet to achieve this level of mass death in the world of plane crashes, for example, you’d have to see a jumbo jet airliner crashing into the ground once a day, every day of the year. But that’s only the beginning of the mass death caused by modern medicine, where greed-driven doctors are routinely bribed by the drug giants ( http://www.naturalnews.com/036510_doctors_bribes_drug_companies.html ) and thereby make the “Joker” James Holmes look like a boy scout by comparison.

Kochanek, Sherry L. Murphy, Betzaida Tejada-Vera (2010-05-20). “Deaths: Final Data for 2007” (PDF). National Vital Statistics Reports (CDC) 58(19): 11.) This means that your risk of being killed by your doctor is 62 times higher than the risk of being killed by a shooter. Put another way, that’s a 6200% higher risk. It seems that before we even think about the issue of gun control , we need a national debate on DOCTOR control. After all, when doctors inadvertently kill people by prescribing deadly chemotherapy cocktails or deadly prescription drugs, they don’t even get arrested for it!

See the source link, above, for the rest of the numbers. The bottom line total comes to 783,936 deaths every year from “conventional” medicine (drugs and surgery medicine). You are 6200% more likely to be killed by your doctor than by a shooter According to the CDC’s numbers from 2007, the total number of homicide shooting deaths in the United States each year is roughly 12,600 (Xu, Jiaquan; Kenneth D. Kochanek, Sherry L. Murphy, Betzaida Tejada-Vera (2010-05-20). “Deaths: Final Data for 2007” (PDF). National Vital Statistics Reports (CDC) 58(19): 11.)

As NaturalNews previously revealed, just one company — GlaxoSmithKline — had a bribery network of 49,000 doctors who received financial kickbacks to prescribe more Glaxo pharmaceuticals to patients. According to the report Death by Medicine, by Drs. Gary Null, Carolyn Dean, Martin Feldman, Debora Rasio and Dorothy Smith, the medical establishment kills 783,936 people in the United States every year. ( http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2004/mar2004_awsi_death_02.htm ) 106,000 Americans killed from drug side effects 115,000 Americans killed from bedsores 98,000 Americans killed from medical error 88,000 Americans killed from infections 32,000 Americans killed from surgery 37,000 Americans killed from unnecessary procedures … and so on.
