(NaturalNews) It's not normal to die at age 32 of a heart attack. To make that happen, you normally have to be taking chemical substances of some kind, either recreational drugs or prescription drugs. Actress Brittany Murphy, who died this last weekend from a heart attack, was reportedly taking prescription drugs to treat the symptoms of the flu (not to actually treat the flu itself, mind you, just
the symptoms of the flu). She was found collapsed in her shower after her heart gave out.
If
prescription drugs are the cause, this would be just the latest celebrity death caused by
pharmaceuticals. Other celebrity deaths recently caused by pharmaceuticals include:
• Heath Ledger

celebrities have also been killed by pharmaceuticals:
• Tony Snow

If you add it all up and include all the non-celebrities killed by
Big Pharma, these dangerous prescription
medications are racking up a
body count that makes terrorists look like amateurs.
Pharmaceutical industry is a giant fraud
The
pharmaceutical industry, as operated today, is based almost entirely on scientific fraud, bribery of
doctors, misleading advertising and corrupt regulatory agencies like the
FDA.
Most prescription medications simply don't help most people. They only mask
symptoms while ignoring the underlying causes of
disease.
Nearly all pharmaceuticals are sold with
the Big Lie... the implied (but false) promise that "These
drugs will make you healthier." That's why
drug ads always show happy,
healthy people popping their pills. (Well, technically they never even show them popping the pills. They just show them doing yoga, hiking in the woods, or whatever looks good.)
I can't think of a single pharmaceutical that actually makes you healthier. Almost universally, prescription medications cause long-term damage to the heart, liver, kidneys and nervous system. Over time, they
erode your
health, accelerate your apparent aging and promote chronic degenerative disease.
Nutrients can make you healthier and prevent disease, but
pharmaceuticals have no such abilities. That's because the human body was never designed to digest patented chemicals. It was, as you probably learned in high school health class, designed solely to digest natural foods and
nutrients provided by Mother Nature.
Of course, pharmaceuticals are very seductive. The idea that you can pop a pill and have all your health problems corrected is very appealing to many people. This is perhaps what got into Brittany Murphy. She mistakenly believed FDA-approved drugs would protect her health when, in reality, they took her
life.
NaturalNews mourns her
death and hopes that others will learn the truth about dangerous prescription drugs and seek out safer, more
natural alternatives that can save their lives.
Why celebrities need really good nutrition
Being a celebrity is extremely stressful and demanding. The long work hours, lack of time in
nature, sunlight deficiency, frequent travel and poor sleep quality all add up to a
lifestyle that can devastate your health. That's why celebrities, more than almost anyone, need to pursue a super clean diet with lots of
superfoods.
Only through very powerful, potent
foods can celebrities hope to maintain anything close to a healthy life while under the stresses of celebrity existence. (And make no mistake, being a celebrity is harder than you think. The stresses are unbelievable...)
The smart celebrities are already on natural diets -- Woody Harrelson, Suzanne Somers, Daryl Hannah and so on. They will tend to far out-live others who pursue extremely stressful lifestyles while trying to survive on a
diet of processed foods and FDA-approved pharmaceuticals.
There is no doubt in my mind that
Brittany Murphy's life could have been saved by reading NaturalNews. If she had been taking vitamin D supplements, immune-boosting herbs and following a diet of healthy superfoods, she would very likely still be alive today. That's just my opinion, of course, as I don't yet know all the medical details about her death, but for someone to die of a
heart attack at age 32, their health has to be severely compromised in one or more significant ways.
The sad part is that the conventional medical industry never tells people the truth about nutrition and disease prevention, so even people who consider themselves to be "well informed" are lacking basic knowledge about vitamin D, minerals, phytonutrients, living foods, superfoods and so on. To my knowledge, Brittany was not known as a health
food person, so she most likely followed conventional health information (junk food, drugs and surgery). And that's almost certainly what killed her.
