This dark secret is being shared for many senior citizens in nursing homes. Many are spending the rest of their lives diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer or dementia. They cant remember the names of their children (or get lost and forget who they are or where they live - also true in the PHL)
The dark secret - many of them do not have the disease - many of them are iatrogenic (caused by the MD) or are polypharma (caused by taking too many drugs) This is not a speculation but are fully documented.
1. Many of the falls (which cause fractures and orthopedic operations) are drug induced;
2. 97% of those who stay in nursing homes take at least one drug, with 17% taking three or more;
3. Many prescription drugs cause drug induced Parkinsonism; there are 22 drugs and 14 otc products that cause these symptoms
A typical scenario would be: a senior citizen is diagnosed to have high blood pressure and an anti hypertensive drug is prescribed and soon side effects appear. And drugs are prescribed to counter act the side effect which now in turn produce a new set of side effects. And so a third drug is prescribed.
The article lists other items that are interesting and useful like:

2. Beverage that clears clogged arteries;
3. Permanent health cure for arthritis
