#Human #greed
#Vicious #cycle(#VC) of #synthetic #drug #therapy.
This exists only when using #synthetic #chemicals as I have often explained. Being produced mainly from #toxic #petrochemicals, they are #brand-#new #to #our #planet. Our human species have no more than #150 #years of #experience with them, a mere #grain #of #sand #on #a #sandy #beach if we want to compare #our #experience #with #synthetics #to #that #with #natural #therapeutic #remedies (#herbs & other #natural #materials). Hence, they are #inherently #toxic, not just the chemicals themselves, but their #impurities. The latter often escape our attention, as the #drug-#identity-#and-#quality ‘bibles’ (aka #Pharmacopoeias) do not deal with these impurities. They simply allow a small percentage (like 1%, 2%, or more) in the drugs and consider them pure. Even after we have made major advances during the past several decades in analyzing and detecting minute chemical materials (nano, pico, & smaller), the standards of purity among scientists (esp. analytical chemists) still go by these #pharmacopoeial #standards. And the general #axiom still holds – a #synthetic #chemical #is #the #same #as a #natural #one if they both have the #same #chemical #structure and are #pure. But how pure? No one seems to know or care.
Here is an example I have thought about for years and already described elsewhere. #Lysergic #acid #diethylamide (#LSD) is up to 200x stronger acting than #psilocybin. What if someone just mixes 1mg (1,000mcg) LSD with 99mg (99,000mcg) synthetic psilocybin. A person taking 20mg of this mixture believing it to be pure psilocybin would experience double the effects of psilocybin. Or worse, if he puts 1mg of LSD in 99mg of #corn #starch and labels it ‘psilocybin’ and some person taking a dose of 20mg of this ‘psilocybin’ would basically take in #200mcg of #LSD, a #regular #psychedelic #dose. Has this ever happened during the past 25-30 years #in #research or #practice? If so, what kind of science is that? Just the thought of this scenario happening should warn us that something is not right with our #life #sciences using #synthetic #psychedelics in therapy. This also casts doubt on the quality of our synthetic therapeutics (e.g., psilocybin) on the market, no matter how much money is spent by some companies promoting them with fancy rhetoric. So, beware of these companies; their greed accelerates the decline of our health!
