I have been into both synthetic and natural drugs for 55 years and I’ve learned a lot; still learning. Our efforts spent in healthcare (sick care) are mostly for self-interest, not for the common good. For example, if our expertise is mass spectrometry, we would use this technique to try to do a job no matter how convoluted or irrelevant the outcome, which could have been easily done by simpler, cheaper, and more appropriate techniques. And in drug discovery, whatever new drugs developed depends on our particular specialty (alkaloids, terpenoids, or steroids, etc.) not what is best for any disease targeted.
REACTION SCIENCE is another term I’d like to add to the crowded field of ‘modern’ research terminology. Our immunity is something we always have, inherited from our ancestors. It was ruined by our ‘scientific’ drugs during past decades. Then, some bright minds among our younger generations discovered that it was ‘lost.’ Now, we are trying to catch up with the field of microbiome, using the same scientific approaches we know. Is this yet another lifeforce to be rediscovered which we always had, but lost? hashtag#incidental hashtag#reaction hashtag#science hashtag#drugtherapy hashtag#synthetic hashtag#sickcare hashtag#immunity hashtag#terminology hashtag#microbiome hashtag#lifeforce
