My Life & Rollercoaster Career: The Life of a Pharmacognosist + Are Drugs Better Than Herbs [550 pages: available from Amazon; $25.95, paperback; $5.49, e-version]
As I have already repeatedly expressed, I am planning to form a nonprofit with 75% of the gross profits of my books towards 2 immediate achievable goals. The first is to shape up current commercial herbal products, at least those labeled as ‘herbal’ but in fact are only chemical. We’ll be fingerprinting and exposing them as what they actually are. For a typical example of 2 ‘herbal’ products with the exact same herbal ingredients on their labels but showing completely different fingerprints, see “Chapter 9: Adulteration Continues to be a Major Problem” in my book. The second is to recommend genuine herbal products to consumers from herbal companies that produce them, now with fingerprints added to guarantee their identity and quality. Eventually, the goal is to have our own manufacturing facilities crowdfunded by consumers and charging them a fraction of what for-profit companies usually charge. This would greatly relieve their financial burden and would eliminate their necessity of taking some of the toxic synthetic drugs from the vicious cycle. My young friends and colleagues, if you think I am doing the right thing for you and your children, and theirs, please buy my book. Also, help me spread the word!
One of the main reasons many herbal medicines/supplements don’t seem to work is because even up to this day, there are no uniform standards or requirements for herbal ingredients. Some are whole extracts while others may contain only 1 or 2 marker chemicals with no herbal elements. Consequently, you have no idea what you get when you buy some well-known or well-marketed brand believing and even trusting it to be the real thing. Big mistake! We’ll find out when we start fingerprinting them.
I have been advocating identity and quality of herbal products for many decades but most of my industry colleagues have not listened, counting on our colleagues in government will continue to do nothing. For the status quo, see “Chapter 11: Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) – Not for Herbal Supplements,” of my book. Once these herbal supplements have improved, consumers should have their true benefits, not just different hype selling the same fake useless products without herbs.
The current drug-therapy vicious cycle is untenable. It’s a manmade situation allowing drug makers and their interdependent industries, supported by many crooked politicians, to exploit the health of the rest of the world’s population with impunity. Before the drug Ingrezza was approved by our FDA to treat a drug-caused disease Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) 2 years ago, I thought they might not have known that our modern drug-therapy with toxic synthetic drugs was obviously heading towards the vicious cycle. And that once they realized it, they would stop, because of its disastrous effects on the health of the human race. Instead, they must have celebrated quietly in glee. And here is the truth. With 500,000 people in the United States alone suffering from this manmade TD at $200 to $400 per day per patient (or up to $146,000/yr/patient), the money of just one drug these exploiters of human health drain from us (as individuals and government) amounts to up to $73 billion per year! From my estimation, assuming we had only 20 such drugs to treat manmade diseases, the amount of money these greedy people quietly take from our treasury is over a trillion dollars per year! This does not even include the thousands of drugs for treating regular diseases, many of which are probably also drug-caused, such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease, acid reflux, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and Crohn’s Disease, among many others. After all, with so many potentially very toxic, unnatural molecules (synthetic drug molecules) lurking inside the vast majority of Americans, how do we know any illness or disease is not due to these molecules keep bumping into the natural ones in our body to cause havoc, hence imbalance and new diseases?
Despite the above bad news, there is something positive and uplifting that I admit I have missed during the past 20 years or so while I was not following the general trend of alternative therapies, but rather concentrating on synthetic drug therapy and the confusion between a pure chemical and a multichemical herb among most scientists, resulting in THM (esp. Chinese) not having been ever properly evaluated by appropriate scientific technologies until we succeeded in the development of our Phyto-True system 15 years ago.
I discovered the above trend only during the past few months when I was seriously connecting and accepting connections (from a few dozen connections to almost 3,000 in a few more days). I am gratified to see so many more healthcare practitioners are in diverse fields, from lifestyle, nutrition, true prevention (not the Big Pharma type to detect diseases early and treat them with drugs), naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, traditional herbal medicine (incl. Chinese and Ayurvedic), tuina massage, energy healing, qigong, food therapy, and many others. Many of them don’t use drugs at all. This all gives me a glimpse of hope. Realistically, we are all in it together. With our modern communication and transportation technologies, our world is getting smaller and we are getting closer together. At the same time, due to greed, our world is getting more and more polluted and our health is now in a vicious cycle that benefits only drug makers and their interdependent associates. Think of your children, grandchildren, and theirs. Start directing them to healthier lifestyles, better nutrition and natural therapies, so that their body can have the natural resistance to ward off diseases before they take hold. I want to remind you synthetic drugs are not nutrients that our body needs, especially being pushed on us by greedy people who don’t have our wellbeing in mind. They benefit by making us perpetually sick as in the vicious cycle. Let’s not let them, by breaking the vicious cycle, or avoid it altogether. Together, we can do it!
