Why Natural?

Why not, would you rather be unnatural? Think about it, huge amounts of money go into our medical system – mostly from pharmaceutical companies that are pushing drugs that are most definitely not natural.

If you are wondering what is wrong with drugs, just listen to some of the many commercials for drugs on television – or read a magazine. I was astonished by the number of drug advertisements in Prevention magazine – based on the majority of their advertisers, they should consider changing their name. But the point here is the total # of pages dedicated to the warnings and side effects of each drug. Each drug had 2–3 pages and the print required some pretty strong reading glasses.

Now what I really object to is that none of the drugs do more than control symptoms. I will be the first to say that there is a time that controlling symptoms is absolutely necessary, but should our entire medical system be dedicated to this??

Under these rules, the sick just get sicker. Follow the average person over a few years. First they take a blood pressure medication, then add one for cholesterol and then they need to add another one because they now need 2 for blood pressure, and then they have to control acid reflux, then they need some to sleep and so on.

Something just is not right about this kind of system. Who gets rich? And whose health is better?

And now… the rest of the story. …..
