http://www.deliveranceministriesgroup.com/pharmakeia/



most   if not all prescription medication tons of side effects per pill and   these side effects include thoughts to kill yourself puking blood   yellow eyes and skin disturbing weight gain increased. i'm making the   case that the side effects are poison
the   prescription dug Prozac which treats depression causes yellow skin and   eyes' thoughts of suicide 'and 120+ different thing. this drug helps   with depression. it is an anti depressant. but this is the most  hypercritical thing on the planet one of the side effects of taking  this prozac is depression. prozac is an anti depression. so it is sold  to people because it helps with depression then one of the side effect  of taking the pill is depression. so does it help with depression or   does it cause depression. these are not small side effect either here  is a small list blindness' blue-yellow color blindness' 'purple or red  spots on the skin' cool pale skin' yellow skin and eyes' thoughts of  suicide' 'trouble with breathing' etc

opdivo has 110 before i lost count lol the guy reacting to the commercial amazed at 30

as you may know there can be as many 1 million children misdiagnosed with adhd each year that's a million children who have the potential to suffer from side effects from medication like thoughts of suicide. because lets be real here there almost all drugs cause thoughts of suicide. and the other insane amounts of side effects


ps there is no way to get rid of a misdiagnosis you are branded for life



pharmacuticals are the 4th leading cause of death each year


is it not a terrible coincidence that the word pharmaceutical was created off of the greek pharma words and which means poisoning with drugs and it just happens to be that pharmaceutical is the 4th leading cause of death


in fact over 100 thousands people die from taking there meds

and prescription drugs are more dangerous than illegal drugs






here has been a resent call back of the diabetes medications  farxiga and jardiance because the medicine caused flesh eating of  the genitals and people and had there limbs amputated. if  you or a loved one has taken farxiga and jardiance and had your foot and  hands amputated or  flesh eating of the genitals you may be entitled to a compensation.
i mean this is truly a prescription nightmare flesh eating of the genitals what the hell is that

farxiga has been proven not to work and worked just as good as a placebo
farxiga proven snake oil

fluoride in water

Nazi Germany put fluoride in the drinking water of the Jews to  make them more stupid and docile during ww2.


conspiracy theorist then started  claiming our us government is doing the same to us.

this was proven true when the  us government admitted they put  fluoride in our water. but claim they put it in there to help with dental  hygiene.




pharmaceutical drugs in water

why do i bring this up. in tap water they are putting pharmaceutical drugs in our water and lets be real its not to help us.


3 antibiotics were found in our water

    Chlortetracycline
    Chloramphenicol
    Erythromycin


the side effects from these antibiotics alone should be enough to deter someone from putting these in the water


antibiotics cause osteoporosis so what if someone developed a hunch back because they are putting this in the water.



that is not all they also put these pharmaceutical drugs in the water

    Atenolol (a beta-blocker)
    Carbamazepine (an anticonvulsant)
    Gemfibrozil (an antilipidemic)
    Meprobamate (an antianxiety medication)
    Phenytoin (an anticonvulsant


for the sake of space lets talk about only one of the side effects of these drugs
Atenolol

this drug only has a couple side effects which is surprising

side effects of atenolol.

    Blurred vision
    cold hands or feet
    confusion
    difficult or labored breathing
    dizziness, faintness, or lightheadedness when getting up from a lying or sitting position suddenly
    shortness of breath
    sweating
    tightness in chest
    unusual tiredness or weakness
    wheezing


    Anxiety
    chest pain or discomfort
    chills
    cold sweats
    cough
    dizziness or lightheadedness
    fainting
    fast heartbeat
    leg pain
    noisy breathing
    slow or irregular heartbeat
    sudden shortness of breath or troubled breathing

    Bloody urine
    decreased frequency or amount of urine
    increased blood pressure
    increased thirst
    loss of appetite
    lower back or side pain
    nausea
    swelling of face, fingers, or lower legs
    vomiting
    weight gain


    Black, tarry stools
    bleeding gums
    blood in urine or stools
    blurred or loss of vision
    bone or joint pain
    disturbed color perception
    double vision
    feeling that others are watching you or controlling your behavior
    feeling that others can hear your thoughts
    feeling, seeing, or hearing things that are not there
    fever
    halos around lights
    night blindness
    overbright appearance of lights
    paleness or cold feeling in fingertips and toes
    pinpoint red or purple spots on skin
    severe mood or mental changes
    skin irritation or rash, including rash that looks like psoriasis
    skin rash, hives, or itching
    sore throat
    swollen or painful glands
    tingling or pain in fingers or toes when exposed to cold
    tunnel vision
    unusual behavior
    unusual bleeding or bruising


    Anxiety
    coma
    cool, pale skin
    depression
    dilated neck veins
    extreme fatigue
    headache
    increased hunger
    irregular breathing
    nervousness
    nightmares
    seizures
    shakiness
    slurred speech
    unusual drowsiness, dullness, tiredness, weakness, or feeling of sluggishness




what if someone suffer from side effect from the drug Atenolol being put in the water

lets talk about the worst offenders here.
what if someone suffers from
"sudden shortness of breath or troubled breathing"because they added atenolol to the water.


our water can cause us to stop breathing because someone added a pharmaceutical drug to it let that sink in.

what if someone who drinks water suffers from the side effects

    feeling that others are watching you or controlling your behavior
    feeling that others can hear your thoughts
    feeling, seeing, or hearing things that are not there

because they are adding pharmaceutical drugs to our water

I would like to mention the title of the debate and the reason why I accepted it. The title is "prescription medication is poison" and I accepted because no prescription medication is not poisonous. It does depend on the instigator's position on life and what is poisonous but as I read it he is talking about something else entirely.

pharmakeai
Pharmakeai is not prescription medication and by him defining the word to be poisonous by definition I would lose but this debate is about prescription medication not pharmakeai.

I will be giving reasons why prescription medication is not poisonous. 
I believe prolonging someone's life is the right thing to do. There are some cases where the harm is greater than the worth of prolonging life but those cases are the exception not the rule.
Prescription medication is one such way in prolonging life. Most common use is to treat an illness which can make life painful or might result in death. A doctor in this day and age prescribes medicine which has a background in what he/she is talking about which gives him/her an idea of what is the best course of action for the individual. When doctors prescribe medication they in their mind with plenty of time spent in their field think that would help you the most. 

I will be now stating flaw with the instigator's arguments.
the world health association uses a snake and staff as there symbol
Even if this was true this does not mean they give poisonous medication. A symbol on a logo does not mean the effect of what is connoted from that symbol will occur with those product they approve or sell. A snake also lays eggs do the members of the WHO do the same? No. This is cherry-picking to suit your narrative which doesn't make any sense. Your argument is that since they have a snake on their logo whatever they associate with would be poisonous. Am I poisonous for having some kind of association with them by defending them? No would be my answer.
why does a drug that helps with depression end up with a side effect that causes depression seems a little counter productive.
. there 120+ side effects let that sink in. 
The problem with this is that most of the side effects are listed as rare meaning it is not common or will happen to every single person who uses Fluoxetine.
opdivo has 110 before i lost count lol the guy reacting to the commercial amazed at 30
This is another cherry-picking. I don't see how by having many side effects makes a product poisonous. This is the 3rd time you are claiming this without very much explanation. If your claim was there are side effect you would be right but you as the person who thinks prescription medication is poisonous must show how side effects are poisonous and likely to occur as well. They simply stated side effects not what is likely to occur.
as you may know there can be as many 1 million children misdiagnosed with adhd each year that's a million children who have the potential to suffer from side effects from medication like thoughts of suicide. because lets be real here there almost all drugs cause thoughts of suicide. and the other insane amounts of side effects 
Even your own source disagrees with you. It states "potentially" not "know". Which means whatever explanation you gave based on that premise would be false because the premise is false.
ps there is no way to get rid of a misdiagnosis you are branded for life
Are you making the claim when you are misdiagnosed the doctor will not rectify it? Even if I give you this it does help your side. This debate is not about misdiagnosis.
pharmacuticals are the 4th leading cause of death each year
I have data which in 2014 states 75 percent of deaths can be attributed to 10 causes. 1) Heart disease 2) Cancer 3) Chronic lower respiratory disease 4) Accidents 5) Stroke 6) Alzheimer's disease 7) Diabetes 8) Influenza and pneumonia 9) Kidney disease 10) Suicide. None of these say due to pharmaceuticals and mine is a more reputable source of information which is Medical News Today
is it not a terrible coincidence that the word pharmaceutical was created off of the greek pharma words and which means poisoning with drugs and it just happens to be that pharmaceutical is the 4th leading cause of death 
Either you are saying Greek people have a tendency of being poisonous or you simply have no point and are plucking at straw. I will be going with the straws one because the other one is an extra-ordinary which you haven't backed up with evidence instead the dictionary definition. 
in fact over 100 thousands people die from taking there meds
You are basically making claims and stating an accusation as if you have the evidence to support such a claim.
The page was not found therefore you made a claim without evidence.
Pharma corruption not pharma. It says it in the title. Corruption was the problem not the pharmaceutical industry. You could have said the system in place is definetely prone to corruption and a likely outcome as well but you didn't.
look at the millions big pharma has given to politicians
Taking money out of politics is a good thing. Still does not say how prescription medication is poisonous. 
here has been a resent call back of the diabetes medications  farxiga and jardiance because the medicine caused flesh eating of  the genitals and people and had there limbs amputated. if  you or a loved one has taken farxiga and jardiance and had your foot and  hands amputated or  flesh eating of the genitals you may be entitled to a compensation.
i mean this is truly a prescription nightmare flesh eating of the genitals what the hell is that
Your link did not work so I can't verify this to be true.
farxiga has been proven not to work and worked just as good as a placebo
farxiga proven snake oil
Even if you are correct this is only one drug of many so you have only stated one drug to be poisonous not prescriptive medicine as a whole.
fluoride in water

Nazi Germany put fluoride in the drinking water of the Jews to  make them more stupid and docile during ww2.


conspiracy theorist then started  claiming our us government is doing the same to us.

this was proven true when the  us government admitted they put  fluoride in our water. but claim they put it in there to help with dental  hygiene.



Your claim about fluoride being harmful is incorrect if it has a small concentration. https://healthcare.utah.edu/the-scope/shows.php?shows=0_q8ha0ke0
Don't see why you compared it to Nazi Germany so I will dismiss that.
pharmaceutical drugs in water

why do i bring this up. in tap water they are putting pharmaceutical drugs in our water and lets be real its not to help us.
Even if this was true there is still plenty of other drugs that you have yet to say are harmful.

    Erythromycin


the side effects from these antibiotics alone should be enough to deter someone from putting these in the water


antibiotics cause osteoporosis so what if someone developed a hunch back because they are putting this in the water.
What if? So basically if this is in water the osteoporosis does happen often many people should have a hunched back. You have failed to provide examples of hunchback people who drank this water to become like they are. Even then you can't blame this on all pharmaceuticals.
for the sake of space lets talk about only one of the side effects of these drugs
Atenolol

this drug only has a couple side effects which is surprising
Atenolol is used to treat high blood pressure. That would be more of an issue than those side effects.

Origin of pharmaceutical
Late Latin pharmaceuticus from Classical Greek pharmakeutikos from pharmakeuein, to practice witchcraft, use medicine from pharmakon, a poison, medicine











if you look at the Merriam Webster dictionary
if you scroll down far enough you get this
 




and why would they put drugs in the water an 70 year old family member use to take atenolol so do you think it is safe to take other people medicine


since there no way that 25 medications would be put in the waters of America to help people it must be put in there to hurt people. i mean who puts estrogen from birth control pills in almost every well in America. how would the estrogen from birth control pills hep people. it can't thus it was put in there to hurt people

firstly if someone has low blood pressure this would be dangerous.  secondly you cut off the side effects and then say the benefits out way the cost.


so is having good blood pressure better than


    feeling that others are watching you or controlling your behavior
    feeling that others can hear your thoughts
    feeling, seeing, or hearing things that are not there


plus there  another 77 side effects to this drug i like how you cut this out
lets be real here it not worth the risk


and me cherry picking trust me bud you do not want me to go into the other side effects of the 25 different drugs in the water supply
i can not list the side effects of 25 different drugs,




there are estrogen from birth control pills which have been linked to many cancers

firstly these side effects have noting to do with what they are treating. so i take an antibiotic to kill germs and somehow my spine bends that has nothing to do with the disease im treating. that's like if i washed my hands with soap and the soap caused the bones in my feat to crack.

Non-sequitur. This debate is not about anecdotes or something that you do wherever. It is about whether prescription medicine is poison. This does not even talk about it. 
and secondly pharmakeai and pharmakon do have meaning today we derive our pharma words  from them. why would they do this.
So since they are read similar or look similar now they are the same word? No both have different definitions therefore are different words. There are more ways words can be different but this is only thing I need to state in order it to be different.
pharmakos: a poisoner, sorcerer, magician
prescription drug (also prescription medication or prescription medicine) is a pharmaceutical drug that legally requires a medical prescription to be dispensed
etomology online dictionary says pharmacy came from pharmakeai
As you can see from the definition the word means a different thing. It is originated from that word but it doesn't mean the same word.
if you look at yourdictionary.COM you get under origins
Origin doesn't mean the word still means the same. You haven't bridged that gap.
and why would they put drugs in the water an 70 year old family member use to take atenolol so do you think it is safe to take other people medicine
Evidence and is this a representation of the every-single prescription medicine? 
since there no way that 25 medications would be put in the waters of America to help people it must be put in there to hurt people. i mean who puts estrogen from birth control pills in almost every well in America. how would the estrogen from birth control pills hep people. it can't thus it was put in there to hurt people
I am going to say the same thing again: Evidence and is this a representation of the every-single prescription medicine?
firstly if someone has low blood pressure this would be dangerous.  secondly you cut off the side effects and then say the benefits out way the cost.
Drugs have side effects that do not always occur. 
and me cherry picking trust me bud you do not want me to go into the other side effects of the 25 different drugs in the water supply
i can not list the side effects of 25 different drugs, 
In order for you to actually win you would have to find testimonies or evidence of corporate leaders of prescription medicine stating this to be the case.
there are estrogen from birth control pills which have been linked to many cancers
Still does not help your case.
alright big pharma doing illegal things caused the opioid epidemic. that is just as bad. and the system in place even if we put i a better system these people seem to have one thin on there mind money
So it is the system at fault not the prescription medicine itself? So why is this debate not title the pharma industry is ruining prescription medicine?
firstly that link does work and its but one of many scandals.
You would have to show it to be deliberate or a testimony of them doing it on purpose.
fluoride is harmful. but this topic has become a mess
That was your fault for not clearly laying out what way this debate should go.
if it was so safe why did germany put it in the water of the jews. and why does puritywater.com sell filters to filter out fluride

The problem with this is that most of the side effects are listed as rare meaning it is not common or will happen to every single person who uses Fluoxetine.

yes your are not bound to get all 120 side effects but you are bound to get a couple of them by the sheer amount of side effects there are.
Why is this now about Nazi Germany? Aren't we supposed to be talking about present prescription medicine?
firstly these side effects have noting to do with what they are treating. so i take an antibiotic to kill germs and somehow my spine bends that has nothing to do with the disease im treating. that's like if i washed my hands with soap and the soap caused the bones in my feat to crack.
Anecdotes so I don't see how this supports your side.
i said there could be as many. which means there are almost 1 million possible misdiagnosis of adhd. do you now how many children use i can not pay attention in class as an excuse. and the dumb parents and teacher solution is to drug them up
If this was true you would have a source to provide evidence for your claim.
Not the point of the debate since a misdiagnosis doesn't mean prescription medicine is poisonous.
no im saying if you look under the origins of a word it will show you that the word pharmaceutical was derived from pharmakon and pharmakon means poisioning with drugs and pharmaceutical just happens to be the number 4 killer in America
Origin of the word and how many deaths occur is not a reasonable link to be made. For one an origin of a word does not cause so your entire point does not help your side if you are creating a link based on that.
this is talking about people dieing from a disease while big pharma is treating them. what i was saying the number 4thh reason people die is because of pharmaceutical not from a disease while there treating them them.
Pharma is not prescription medicine so another case I found you are missing the point of the debate.
con said the link did not work. ok hereyou go prescription drugs more dangerouse than illegal ones
It states smoking to be a legal drug. The thing is it is not prescriptive medicine which means this point is a non-sequitur because a doctor does give you a cigarette to treat an illness you have.
i can not list all 25 since that would take forever but because you insist
I would rather have testimonies of the people in-charge if they are doing this purposefully.
