PHARMACEUTICALS & CAPITALISM

The capitalistic system exalts monetary gain above any greater good of human beings. It is true that every person and corporation has the right to make as much money as possible. Therefore, for some reason, major corporations get more welfare than little corporations.

The pharmaceutical industry is an example of capitalism’s worst parts, because it is humanitarian in nature; hence, religious institutions with donors’ money have built many hospitals. Historically, hospitals are usually funded by the public sector, by health organizations (for profit or nonprofit), health insurance companies, or charities, including direct charitable donations, religious orders or charitable individuals. In accord with the original meaning of the word, hospitals were originally places of hospitality. Christian denominations, Catholic religious orders as well as Protestant including Methodists and Lutherans run hospitals. Today, professional physicians, surgeons, and nurses largely staff hospitals, whereas in the past, this work was usually performed by the founding of religious orders and by volunteers.

This humanitarian character of the medical profession is fading. Today, the prime objective for all publicly trading drug companies is the monetary gain rather than humanitarian goal to rid our society of disease and illness.

The economic interest of the pharmaceutical industry is the main reason why no medical breakthrough has been made for the control of the most common diseases such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis, and why these diseases continue like epidemics on a worldwide scale.
   
Millions of people and patients around the world are being defrauded. Major portion of their income is used to finance the exploding profits of the pharmaceutical industry and in return they are being offered a medicine that does not even cure.

People live longer but the quality of life of the elderly has gone down because of prescription drugs dependence. One disease rides on the back of another like a tick on a cockroach’s back.  Dementia, Alzheimer’s and other similar mental impairments turn the elderly into slow moving zombies.

The pharmaceutical industry has now formed an international *Codex Alimentarius Commission with the aim to control and even outlaw any health information in connection with vitamins; and to limit free access to natural therapies on a worldwide scale.
   
*The Codex Alimentarius Commission, established by FAO and WHO in 1963 develops harmonized international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice to protect the health of the consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. The Commission also promotes coordination of all food standards work undertaken by international governmental and non-governmental organizations.

Since its beginnings in 1963, the Codex system has evolved in an open, transparent and inclusive way to meet emerging challenges. International food trade is a 200 billion dollar a year industry, with billions of tons of food produced, marketed and transported. Alimentarius means alimentary relating to nourishment or sustenance.

I do not subscribe to any conspiracy theory. I go by this verse in the Bible (Matthew 7:16) By their fruits you will know them. Those of us who are subject to US medicine and prescription drugs; must know that none of the drugs sold today have been designed to cure an illness. All too often these drugs produce side effects, which are then countered with other drugs. In fact, the symptoms-eliminating medicines—in the true sense of the word—are not really remedies. The Latin word for Medicine is Rememdium, which means to cure; to remedy and it comes from a substance or preparation used in treating disease. These are facts or rather evident fruits of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Industries. This tree does not produce anything that actually heals. On one hand life expectancy became longer because the drugs, especially those the older population consumes; fertilize the medical tree and sustains it. On the other hand the quality of life expectancy shrinks.  

Since the main driving force of the pharmaceutical industry is to increase sales of drugs for ongoing diseases, and to find new diseases in order to market existing drugs the industry has no interest in curing or eradicating diseases for it would inevitably destroy a multi-billion dollar industry. If eradication therapies for diseases are discovered and developed, the industry has a basic interest to suppress, discredit and obstruct these medical breakthroughs in order to make sure that diseases continue as the very basis for a lucrative prescription drug market.

As inhuman as that may sound these are the facts. The root of evil is not money but an obsessive and even fanatical love of it. There must be a balance. The only way would be to lock all profit-addicts chemist people in rehab centers where they would have to undergo a therapy. Just as there are rehab centers for substance abuse and addiction, in this case the addiction is the love of money, an incurable for some malady.

Many non-life threatening illnesses are quite often overcome naturally. Time, rest and natural remedies largely contribute to the strengthening of the immune system. The stronger the immune system the healthier life one can lead. However, a prolonged medication, or over-medication; does not strengthen the immune system, but actually weakens it. By depriving our bodies of nutrients and vitamins, which come from fruits, vegetables and nuts, we lower our immune system’s defense capabilities.

Peacemaking is the best way to go about human health. Agitation, nervousness, stress or chasing timetables; take away peace, which in itself brings healing. Hence, it is written, Seek peace and pursue it (1Peter 3:11). All maladies are the result of disconnects and upheavals.

Oneness is of peace and of health and their opposites are of war; hence, illness. Drugs cannot bring oneness and peace. That only you can do. Inflammation is not of peace but of war. Infection is a foreign invasion, something that does not belong. To ward it off, one needs to seek the healing peace. Once peace properties find their way in our mind, soul and body then the nervous system begins to distribute them throughout the entire system. It supplies the circulating blood vessels with healing material, which calms infection and inflammation. That is the power of an educated mind and the power of your choice.
