Modern Drugs

The Chemical Nation

“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.”                                       Hurbert Ratner, M.D. University of California..Feb 24, 1963

Chemically Altered 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.

The Tool Box

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.

The Cost

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 cost more and give rise to new issues.

The Search for Disease

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.
