Despite the yearly claims of great new pharmaceutical drugs, the percentage of Americans who die each year from cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other disease names has not decreased. Every year in the US, more people die from the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs than die in car accidents. Clearly this is not good medicine. All of this begs the question - What happened to good medicine?
Where Is The Good Medicine?
Did you know that the herbs astragalus and elderberry, and the amino acid; L-Lysine, are powerful broad-spectrum antiviral agents? Did you know that garlic is a powerful natural antibiotic? There are many safe and effective natural remedies for the multitude of maladies that effect mankind but your doctor will never recommend them. Conventional medicine has nothing to combat the vast majority of viruses (they only suppress the symptoms), but still doctors will not recommend astragalus, elderberry, or any of the other natural anti-virals because they are plant based.
Plant-based treatments cannot produce huge profits because they cannot be patented. Huge profits are needed to pay for the expensive FDA approved clinical trials. So, plant-based treatments never get FDA approval to treat a disease. Your doctor can only prescribe treatments that are FDA approved. If your doctor prescribes treatments that are not FDA approved, he or she can be sued or lose their license.
The End of Plant-based Medicine
Around the begining of the last centruy, Rockefeller and Carnegie obtained control over medical school education through the use of the Flexner Report which was written by Henry Pritchett, who was in the employ of Rockefeller. This report favored only the medical schools that concentrated on using drug-based treatments. (See also: "THE DRUG STORY") These schools started to receive large amounts of money from Rockefeller and Carnegie. In 1905, 160 medical schools were in operation. By 1927, 17 years after the Flexner Report, the number had dropped to 80. From then on, pharmaceutical company control of medical school curriculums was assured by the large amounts of money they would "give" to the schools for approved research. That research of course was approved or disapproved by the pharmaceutical companies. Only research that would lead to treatments that could be patented received approval. That eliminated any treatments derived from plants.
Treatment derived from plants are more safe than chemical based treatments that can be patented. 作者: simonchou 時間: 2010-6-8 12:04
Hi! 麥主任,
多謝您不斷引述不同的文章, 讓我們家長能擴濶眼光,以作精明的判斷.
什麼才是好藥？哪裡有良藥？此乃大題目, 不同人有不同的見解.
2002年, 認識了一位的朋友. 他在著名美國哥倫比亞大學畢業, 主要研究藥物設計.
10多年前他開始研究中草藥, 覺得良藥需有三種特質, 我非常認同.
1.無毒無副作用 (Non-toxic and free from side-effects)
2.功效深而廣 (Non-specific, acting on the entire body)
3.雙向調節功能 (Normalizes physiological functions )
您猜世上有這樣的藥嗎?作者: jacko 時間: 2010-6-8 12:27
