The expectation that cure can come from isolated chemicals has little chance of cure, but a strong chance of suppression. The myth of modern chemical medicine is described in the following:
“The United States is recognized to be the most over-medicated, most over-operated on and most over inoculated country in the world. We impose our life saving drugs and technologies, intended for serious ailments, on minor, even trivial illness; illnesses that are self limiting and that, except for symptomatic relief, do better without interference from the physician. Americans’ think that health can be bought, rather than a state to be sought though an accommodation to the norms of nature.”
The current crop of food and drug companies are busy inventing products to sell to healthy people, with the claim that chemically altered nature can make you healthier, smarter and more successful. They back these claims with studies sponsored by the companies themselves.
When you see a licensed medical doctor their skill to help relies on a box of tools. That box of tools includes an expensive education that can cost up to a million dollars for a medical specialty. A neurosurgeon is an example. The education teaches them how to diagnose disease and then prescribe and apply drugs and/or surgeries in an attempt to correct the imbalance of patient conditions. Modern medical science has a catch. It will always cost you, your government and other people a bundle of money. Almost every innovation in modern drug pharmacy and surgeries eventually cause more new problems.
Few Americans can bear the brunt of paying for this out of control system. When someone tells me of a hip replacement or some similar operation I am always amazed when I ask what it costs. I ask who pays. It is never the recipient. They may share a small part, but always other people pay. Government or insurance, etc. pay the lion’s share of the bill. With modern medicals high cost, few individuals can afford to take full responsibility for their health.
One can easily see the reason for the high cost of modern medicine. Most medical doctors begin their career with immense debt. The investment to be a doctor along with high cost of offices and hospitals place them in the position of needing lots of sick people. In order to survive and prosper the doctors must deepen their search for new disease, even in the healthy. Coming from that search is the invention of new disease and procedures to ensure the flow of money into the system. Does it all make sense? I don’t think so.
