As the world mourns the tragic death of one of its most stratospheric icons of popular music, questions will remain as to the cause of his demise.

Because like so many celebrities who’ve taken the same road before him, his was life destroyed by a dependence to prescription painkillers – this is a stark reminder of the danger posed by the inappropriate use of drugs.

Should conventional medicine be asking itself – what of the risks certain drugs pose to patients?

Now, I’m not about to launch into an attack on conventional medicine.  As it has made massive leaps as far as the treatment and cure of many diseases.  But the statistics do stack up.  In the last 30 years 40,000 people have died in the UK through inappropriately prescribed drugs and medical negligence – compared to only 5 deaths which are attributable to alternative medicine.

Patients routinely submit themselves to the harmful side effects of drugs, and continue to take medication that has little or no impact at all – except to create further symptoms.  In many cases patients die from the complications attributable to drugs – not necessarily the original ailment.

And I haven’t even mentioned the impact that painkillers, steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics and anti-depressants have on the immune system and the digestion.

Patients willingly eat bucket loads of pills on a daily basis to cure ailments that are either the result of stress, poor lifestyle choices poor diets.

Rather than fix the root cause of these problems – we are conditioned to use the ‘sticking plaster’ approach to suppress the symptoms – with drugs.

We can only speculate as to what drugs Michael Jackson was taking, and because they were taken over a long period of time eventually killed him.

For anyone who’s suffering right now with extreme stress, there really is only one solution – to treat the underlying cause which usually manifests itself in a number of ways.  These are a warning to take good care of yourself, and take a long hard look at your life. Alternative therapies treat the whole person – the totality of the symptoms, or prevents the onset of major problems before they occur.

It’s too late for Michael – and as I listen to his music belting out on the radio, maybe we can all learn from this before another person is taken from us far too early.  In the words of Barry Gordy “I am shocked beyond belief.  How can Michael Jackson not be here?”
