Facts You Should Know About Medical Drugs

First I want to say I'm NOT against drugs or surgery when this is the only way. I'm taking a drug daily. Pharmacies now print out a sheet showing the side effects of the drugs and I must say I'm worried about all the side effects that are listed - the side effects take up nearly half the page. Both drugs and natural medicines can help people. Inform people and let men and women decide themselves what they want and what is best for them. Everybody should respect this fundamental right.

1. Without exception all drugs are synthetic and patented. Drug manufacturers will never sell a natural medicine. There is not enough money in it for them.
   
2. Many drug manufacturers are so huge that their economy is being compared with the complete economy of countries the size like Spain. You have to ask, if they are so huge already, why do they want to eliminate natural remedies that do work (in most cases slower but without side effects)?
   
3. People today want prevention. This is why there is a trend to natural medicines and supplements. About 10 years ago I read in The Toronto Star that at a medical doctor convention in Toronto the lead lecturer said: "We are not in the prevention business". Some medical doctors are now strong supporters of preventative measures. However, most are not. I have a book in which a medical doctor writes: "There is more money to be made by treating symptoms and diseases than in preventing them. The underlying causes remain untreated and ignored. We are living in a medical system that profits from widespread illness."
   
4. Through personal contacts it was relayed to me that a new medical doctor said he saw our ads about our Bell Shark Cartilage and made the comment that "it won't hurt but it certainly will not help". What people say in our true testimonials is of no interest to him. I wonder whether he listens to what his patients say. He is a typical case of coming fresh from medical school with a completely closed and shut mind. We have hundreds of people saying that they suffered for 10, 20, 30, 40 and even 50 years arthritis pain with little or no relief from arthritis drugs and our shark cartilage helped them without side effects. Read how happy they are to have finally less pain or are completely pain free.
   
5. From a medical newsletter by Dr. Julian Whitaker M.D. we learn that curcumin, an extract from the yellow tumeric spice used extensively in Indian cooking, could potentially be used as a preventative treatment for Alzheimer's disease based on studies by the UCLA. This study was done because of the low rates of Alzheimer's disease in India. Curcumin is available now. However, a Dr. Richard Harvey, director of research at the United Kingdom Alzheimer's Society, said something to the effect, he will wait until a synthetic drug will be available, which may take many years. Drug manufacturers will say he is a good man.
   
6. Synthetic hormones (drugs) versus Natural Hormones: Millions of women have been given synthetic hormones (drugs) for 40 years. Now in 2002 we hear in newspaper articles that this was all wrong. There are more breast cancer cases, heart attacks, strokes, thromboembolic phenomena and colon cancer cases, because of these synthetic hormones. My wife took these synthetic hormones for 10 years. She has been on natural hormones now for years. It is staggering to think what all those millions of women feel that have been on these syntheic hormones for years and can only hope that it has not affected them. Natural hormones without these side effects have been available all along and were disregarded by most doctors, because most doctors prescribe drugs only. Dr. Alvin Pettle, M.D., F.R.C.S., C., issued an 8 page white paper about this subject. He has been prescribing natural hormones for a long time. He has been teaching at medical schools about using more natural medicines. The drug lobby giving grants to universities, it appears, has a stronger influence. These pages also mention natural testosterone hormones for women. It is called "The Hormone of Desire" to bring back the libido and to enjoy intercourse again. These 8 pages end with the following sentence: "The education of the physician shouldn't end at medical school, it should just begin. I thank my patients for helping me to be more educated about the wisdom of menopause."
