Sounded wrong from the first news release, didn’t it? Eagle dead from a triple diagnosis...
No matter what worldwide news source you read, they all said the same thing: Rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, pneumonia.
Wait a minute – RA is not a fatal disease, generally. And it has no direct relationship to either ulcerative colitis or pneumonia— these are 3 completely different systems. So what‘s the mystery connection here?
The very next day we all read it: the manager’s story. Remember?
Irving Azoff, the Eagles’ manager of 30 years makes a statement to the press that says he watched Frey weaken and die from medication he was taking for the RA. But Azoff's lawyer wouldn’t let him name the drug.
It’s not really difficult to figure this puzzle out with just a little research.
What commonly prescribed RA drug has side effects in both the digestive and the respiratory systems?
The standard arthritis drugs are the anti-inflammatories, first the non-steroidal, and later the steroidal. Neither is curative, both are palliative. For chronic arthritis that goes on for years, the benefits of these drugs plateau after awhile.
So in keeping with the prevailing medical ethos, they always look for the next stronger allopathic, outside-in type of remedy.
Let's see then - are there any drugs stronger than corticosteroids that are routinely recommended for RA?
Yes. Fasten your seatbelts. For the past 15 years doctors have been prescribing Methotrexate, one of the most common cancer chemotherapy drugs, in an off-label application, for rheumatoid arthritis!
Let's pause a minute here and define Off Label use. This means prescribing a drug for a diagnosis other than the one it was originally licensed for.
At present, FDA estimates that at least 20% of pharmaceutical drugs are routinely prescribed for peripheral, ancillary diagnoses for which no testing or clinical trials with the drug have been performed. Off Label.
Now let's go to their own research. Best source for drug effects is their own bible - the Physicians Desk Reference, found in every library in America. On p 119 of the 2013 edition we find Methotrexate as a mainstream chemotherapy drug, which indeed it has been for the past 30 years.
Listed among the many cancers for which the drug is indicated is also rheumatoid arthritis.
For this off-label application – rheumatoid arthritis – the PDR clearly states: "The mechanism for RA has not been established." - p.764.463
Translation: we don’t know how it works in RA patients and claim no responsibility when it does not work.
There are no references cited for the experimentation of Methotrexate with RA patients other than the phrase
“selected adults w/ severe, active rheumatoid arthritis who have had insufficient therapeutic response to an adequate trial of 1st-line therapy including full-dose NSAIDs.”
Which suggests they can go right from Ibuprofen to methotrexate if they like, without even trying cortisone.
It gets worse. On that same page, the many side effects of methotrexate are listed. Among them:
• may cause multiple organ system toxicities (e.g., GI,)
• lung toxicities
• ulcerative stomatitis
• abdominal distress
• may affect immune function
There it is – the link between RA drugs and Glenn Frey’s fatal diagnoses. No other RA drugs have this combination of multi-system life-threatening side effects. So then no big mystery here what he died of.
Digging deeper, where did methotrexate come from in the first place? Ready for this --- it’s a chemical derivative of mustard gas, the bio-warfare killer introduced in WWI in Germany.
They noticed the gas was a general cytotoxin, effective by inhibiting DNA synthesis in cells. Should be a big hit then on the battlefield.
This brings us to the genius of modern day oncology, with their made-to-order scientific myth that cancer drugs will work if they can kill cells.
The fatal error here, that patients are never told about, is that the tumor cells cannot be targeted by injected chemotherapy.
All living cells in the body are susceptible.
First to weaken are the cells of the most rapidly dividing tissues: the lining of digestive tract, lung cells, blood. So patients routinely die of pneumonia, colitis, and immune suppression.
Frey was the textbook case. Glenn Frey died of RA treatment, not RA.
The Eagles represented a time when America still had some vestiges of a contemporary music culture, a time when artists could actually play their instruments, and had spent years mastering the skills of harmony, chord structure, composition, song, meter, and lyric. Not to mention keeping a band together for as many years as it took for all these elements to gel into that rare and indefinable musical space where the creation is greater than the sum of the individual parts. That’s why these guys sold out amphitheatres worldwide for 40 years.
All this has disappeared from today’s poseur music world of made-to-order icons, with its affectations and award programs based solely on politics and fashion.
And Darwin’s kids don’t even look up from their iphones long enough to notice that it’s Already Gone.
