MEDICINE
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these: George Washington Carver:
To care for anyone else enough to make their problems one's own, is ever the beginning of one's real ethical development: Felix Adler:
Lisa began to delve into the practice of medicine itself and the changes made over the years, particularly in her own lifetime.
Time and time again the stern warnings were given over the media that today’s allopathic (modern) medicine was the ONLY medicine and that everything else was either nonsense or dangerous. The public was programmed relentlessly into thinking that current drugs and surgery was not only the best way, but the only way.
The centuries old treatments used by civilizations the world over were discouraged, ridiculed and stealthily banned. The amazing health aids derived from plants and animals were replaced by synthetic cocktails. Natural herbs proven to heal had no side effects needing cures to fix the cures.
But Lisa knew things were certainly very amiss. The media outlets received billions in revenue from drug companies so they certainly had a conflict of interest in health. Many doctors took up offers of holidays and gifts if they prescribed certain brands of drugs over others regardless of quality or the patient’s ability to pay. Science journals covered new drug releases as hidden advertising campaigns.
And so the modern allopathic medical industry degenerated quickly into a profit based system of enterprises where the symptoms of ailments were the treated focus and not the CAUSE. And to lay horror to the mix, the legal redress by patients poisoned and debilitated by dangerous and untested drugs was removed by government decree in an instant. And the people still believed these same corrupt players when they said vaccination was GOOD for them.
And these same corporations sensed that people were waking up to the crimes and deceit and they had to shut down all forms of alternative health care to enable full control and profits... So they began with homeopathy in the mid 1800’s and ran extensive media campaigns against homeopathy and again against Eastern medicines in the 80’s and 90’s culminating in the Codex initiative through the WTO trade agreements to shut supplies of supplements and many natural plant drugs in the early 2000’s.
To remove any comparison between differing healing modalities was quickly controlled and resolved. No comparisons can be easily made in these times.
And throughout this period medical costs soared to dizzying heights along with salaries which the bulk of patients could only dream of. But sickness still soars throughout western civilizations in the forms of cancer, diabetes, infections and flu’s, autism and schizophrenia and other mental disorders.
And Lisa saw the falling away of all compassion and common sense. The introduction of ‘for profit’ health schemes has replaced the family doctor with fast food type medical centers that have no time nor financial impetus to know their patients.
