Right from the start, we treated our #body like a #single #entity same as #traditional #herbal #medicines (#THM). Then, we discovered the #extreme #complexity of both, but zeroed in on their #miniscule #details and found all these #fascinating #atomic / #subatomic #entities (units of #DNA, #RNA, #peptides, #enzymes, #receptors, etc.). We started to give them new names (#specialties) and add #new #terminologies befitting their #elite #status. Then, we tried to postulate how they’d behave and work in our #live #body and #inanimate #THM, though our #interests have mostly been concentrated on the #immediate #environments #surrounding these #minute entities. Never have we tried to correlate these #novelties to the #total #health of our living being, nor to the nonliving time-tested THM. Instead, we have been #fixated on only the #nano or #pico entities, and not on our #whole health and #wellbeing.
Meanwhile, the #misconception of #lumping #together, as #scientific #equals – a #synthetic #chemical, our #complex #body, and the #time-#tested #THM – has enabled the #wrong #scientific #protocol (set up many decades ago) to #create and #perpetuate the #vicious #cycle (#VC). See my article “A #Disruptive #Concept in Drug Therapy” posted earlier. This is like a perfect storm. Bad things appeared inconspicuously one after another, all leading to making the vicious cycle (VC) simultaneously #destructive and, at times, #beneficial to our health until in recent years. Then, more and more evidence has shown the drugs’ #side #effects to cause new #diseases that require more new drugs to treat. A typical example is #Valbenazine (#Ingrezza) for treating #Tardive #Dyskinesia caused by various #prescription #drugs (#psychotic, #epileptic, #gastrointestinal, etc.). I am sure there are others, but I just don’t have time to check them out. The fact is, the VC exists, but no one seems to bother to disprove it, especially when it persistently brings #Big #Pharma & Co. #financial #benefits (#perpetual #income). The more #toxic a drug, whether due to #itself or its #impurities (never seriously tested), the more chances of other new diseases that require more new drugs to treat. Which is why no #drug #makers are #complaining; nor #insurers and #lawyers. The blunt of the VC’s #negative #impact on #health and #finances is borne by over 95% of the #American #public (mainly the #poor and the rest of us #nonmultimillionaires) as #billionaires are self-exempted by laws enacted by their #minions in #Congress. Can we change that? Not in another 2 or 3 generations if we continue to elect #multimillionaires or #uneducated #greedy #morons to our #government.
