When I was still actively traveling, 15 or even 20 years ago, I used to comment on the ‘third-world’ status of our airports compared to the ones from which I left European, Asian, and other foreign cities to fly home. I have not done this for close to 10 years now. Regardless, from my world travels to different locations, I have seen modern high-speed trains and magnificent bridges, especially in China that we used to consider backward and some of us still do. Thus, compared to our own country over the past few decades, we have had few visible advances. Instead, we have plenty of homeless people in major cities, many of whom are veterans. Maybe the funds for correcting some of these disgraceful happenings have disappeared quietly into the pockets of a few, especially those of the ones who were cowards and had avoided serving America in our armed forces.
The root cause of our country’s decline in health and health science is our failure to clearly define the science we use in our therapy of illnesses using synthetic drugs. Since these drugs are made from toxic petroleum, they are brand new to our planet, never been tested, and thus are inherently toxic. Our recent forebears at least had the foresight of subjecting them to in vitro, in vivo, in small animals, up to human clinical trials until they are proven safe and effective. Then, they are declared ‘scientifically’ ready for patient use, and the trial-and-error process used by our ancestors begins anew. However, unlike the traditional medicines our ancient ancestors had developed eons ago with their accumulated experience and wisdom, synthetic drugs have no more than a few generations of experience. So, we are stuck with modern medicines that are not scientific nor consistent, and have no experience with humans.
For more than 3 generations now, no one seems to have paid attention to our use of synthetic drugs in therapy. My smart science colleagues all seem to be interested in their own pursuits, digging deeper and deeper holes without surfacing above ground to view the scenery (i.e., acquiring specializations without ever considering their relevance to our health and environment). So now, we have all these specializations with their own complicated jargons, what do we do with them? Just make a living for ourselves, and to hell with our health being perpetually ruined by synthetic drugs with their side effects and more new diseases caused by them, which require more new drugs to treat, leading to the vicious cycle (VC). This VC is our demise – it supports different industries in helping to treat our illnesses. Yet most patients helped by this drug therapy are sickened by the new drugs in the VC. Do you see any end to this? I understand it would be very difficult for my colleagues to understand this dilemma. But we can’t simply let this VC remain. We need to deal with its root cause that lies in its toxic ingredients generated in the synthetic process from fossil fuels. The synthetic chemicals are brand new and contain also impurities that are brand new and most likely also toxic. How much attention have we paid to them? Or do we assume and hope they are not that toxic, 1% or 2% would not be too much or harmful? Regardless, their toxic effects may not show up immediately, or in a day or even months. Haven’t you noticed the general poor health of our fellow Americans in the past 30 to 40 years most of whom routinely take drugs (OTC or prescription) and/or ingest junk foods and colored and sweetened drinks, all loaded with synthetic additives?
All our specializations may look impressive, perhaps making you tons of money. But they don’t improve our health. The only way to avoid or bypass specializations based on the VC of using toxic synthetic chemicals is not to use them whenever possible. That is something I have special insight and plan to do.
