Yes Big Pharma, he is talking to you.

Are you listening?

Sort:  

I really wish somebody was out there listening... everything we need to heal ourselves can be found in nature. Alas, Western "medicine" is focused on "treating" people rather than actually healing them... very sad. I can but hope that wisdom will eventually prevail over profit...

Slippery slope. All pharmaceuticals could have easily been naturally synthesized and every natural phytochemical can be made in a lab. All illness requires treatment to be healed. But I think the point is find what works and is best for your health and the world. And definitely dont allow lifesaving Rx's to be patented to the point of life and death sales goals.

Well said :)

Though all illness begins at a cellular level and cellular malfunction is usually caused by inadequate nutrition. Though these days there are a growing number of other factors. But generally speaking, the treatment which needs to be prescribed is very simple indeed: EAT FOOD WITH NUTRITION!

The world has gone crazy... things are out of balance. I keep thinking of a quip a friend of mine made, a couple of years ago: "We have this all natural, non-GMO, organic, pesticide free, fair trade food... or as my grandparents used to call it: FOOD."

Haha! Yes indeed. The word 'organic' has grown out of this problem. As you say, it should really just be called food!

Yeah that and the GMO issue to me are the biggest factors in our human health. We don't know the long term effects of the food we are eating and GMO's are in everything! But food without nutrients is like eating macronutrients only. Thats why I always supplement daily with Amazing Grass Green Superfood to get vitamins and minerals. Minerals are the most important in my opinion because as you said the biochemistry at the cellular/molecular level depends on minerals, vitamins, pre-vitamins, enzymes and co-enzymes which are severely lacking especially to those who do not consume healthy vegetables often which as Americans we do not. I also supplement with co-q10, probiotics and 5-HTP and it seems to work decently well but I always feel a little off. I think I need to cut out the sugar I an addicted to ;)

Yes, they seek only to cure the symptoms, not the cause. Better for business this way. The stats on quantity of pills being legally subscribed to under 18s are totally crazy in the US. Can only imagine the stats for the over 18s!

NATURAL IS ALWAYS BEST!

And all we can do is play our little part in helping to spread this message :)

It really drives home that since Ghandi has lived and died the Indian English accent will always stay true to its roots haha

Great photo and quote!
