Uncovering Pharmaceutical Monopolies and the Power of Natural Remedies

Discover why pharmaceutical medications are structured to manage symptoms rather than cure disease, and how regulatory definitions restrict access to effective natural alternatives.

Short Summary

  • The 1938 Act gave pharmaceutical companies a monopoly by classifying natural substances that affect bodily states as controlled "drugs."
  • Most prescription drugs manage symptoms by inhibiting singular enzymes, failing to address the underlying root cause of ailments.
  • Specific natural remedies demonstrate superior or comparable efficacy to powerful prescription drugs based on randomized controlled studies.
  • This segment reveals how the system prevents truthful information about nutrients from reaching consumers, making health management a profitable business.

This segment orients the reader to the structure of the US healthcare system as a profitable enterprise built upon symptom management via chemical inhibition, rather than root cause elimination, contrasting this approach with evidence-backed natural alternatives.

Description

Pharma meds were never designed to “fix” you. In this video, we’ll discuss some of the pharmaceutical industry’s secrets, the truth about prescription drugs, and the money-making scheme known as the US healthcare system. Watch these videos next to learn about corruption in the junk food industry: ▶️ https://youtu.be/J9SjqPQL6WM ▶️ https://youtu.be/mX1P7tGDOX8 DATA: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4946846/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2212958817300605 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0015028203011877 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2410097/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10671255/ 0:00 Introduction: Pharma meds and US healthcare 0:25 Prescription drugs defined 5:18 Drugs vs. natural healing 9:10 Do prescription drugs work? 13:07 The problem with medicine In 1938, the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act redefined the word “drug,” giving Big Pharma a monopoly over your body. By this new definition, any natural remedy, such as a plant, herb, or food that helps an ailment in some way, can now be classified as a drug. In 1900, there were fewer than 200 diseases. There are now over 17,000! This has allowed disease to become a huge, profitable business. Drug patents are protected and policed by the FDA. This means you can not sell or profit from a natural remedy, even if it’s backed by legitimate research, without FDA approval. The following 7 natural remedies are not only comparable to prescription medication, but work better based on randomized control studies: •St. John’s wort has proven better than SSRIs for depression •Red yeast rice is more effective than statins •Black cohosh is better than hormone replacement therapy •Berberine is more effective than Metformin •Lavender oil is more effective for anxiety than Lorazepam •Saw palmetto is better than Tamsulosin •Wormwood is better than Mesalazine Although there is credible evidence supporting these natural remedies, you can not claim they cure disease or reduce the risk of disease. Most drugs work by inhibiting an enzyme, blocking a specific biochemical pathway in the body. This does not address the root problem, hence why you don't come off of prescription drugs, because they're not fixing anything. When you visit the doctor, they will typically address your symptoms, largely ignoring lifestyle changes that could help. They will not recommend natural remedies because, by definition, they are considered drugs and would have to go through the FDA to be prescribed.

Some Doctors can't heal themselves. I couldn't hardly walk without a walker for 27 years. I had 2 open heart surgery, diabetes and others health problems. I started doing homework on my health problems. Today I am walking, eating healthy and feeling like a young man again. God is good.

Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with high cholesterol, and was prescribed a "statin". The instructions were to NOT CONSUME GRAPEFRUIT while I took the medicine. I asked the doctor why and he said they don't work well together. When I was leaving, a nurse pulled me aside, and told me the real reason was that the grapefruit did the SAME THING the statin did, and the statin drug would remain in my liver and kidneys if I ate grapefruit. I quit taking the statin and just eat grapefruit EVERY DAY to handle my cholesterol. I switched doctors, and my cholesterol level is much lower just by eating the grapefruit.
