RE: One of the biggest lies of the modern society - “natural is a good”

in #culture7 years ago

That's enough! I'm following you.

I agree enough with you except in some things, I am a fervent supporter of nature, and I do not speak of using natural products, haha, ecology or anything like that, I speak of the natural order of things.

You are right that in many cases the artificial elements are much better than the natural ones, because the artificial ones were created explicitly for that purpose, while the leaves, plants, herbs, etc., do not. The elements like 100% natural soap, really are artificial, that is, the soap does not grow on a tree, anyway they subject it to different processes that make it artificial.

But with medications it is a delicate thing. I have not used any type of medicine for years, I do not trust neither the natural nor the artificial, and that is why, the medications are usually not used correctly. Alexander Fleming said that if you used an insufficient dose of antibiotics, that you were not able to kill the microbes, but that it was enough to expose them, then these microbes would become more resistant and evolve, making the antibiotic obsolete.

He believed that an ignorant man could make the mistake, but it turns out that ignorant men have been doctors, that's why the old antibiotics do not work today, and I'm not talking about outdated antibiotics, I'm talking about formulas.

Personally, I think that antibiotics end up making things worse, and they should only be used in life or death cases.

Thanks, I'm glad you like my posts. : )

"because the artificial ones were created explicitly for that purpose" - Exactly, good point!

I agree with you that many medications, including antibiotics, can make things (much) worse if used in an inappropriate or excessive way. I also prefer to go through any minor cold without artificial medications, but, of course, for some conditions we simply need them.

For example, I had a strong bronchial asthma when I was a kid, and although herbal remedies like Plantago syrup can help sometimes, without an inhaler I would die (or suffer a great deal) many, many times by now.

Cheers!
