Why do few of my health science colleagues seem to worry about the countless side effects and new diseases these synthetics have caused?
The same is with #addiction defined by Big Pharma and its interdependent healthcare professionals as due to our weak will power and prone to take drugs. Which is not the drugs’ fault, as they are always there, despite their being highly promoted and easily available. For 150 years since the synthetic era started, these drugs (incl. #additives & #chemical #supplements) have been rapidly increasing, practically out of control. This VC has become a huge industry that includes drug addiction to narcotics that requires #rehabilitation, itself a big industry.
Regardless, there is a major group of technical people, my colleagues (some friends), who prop up this VC. They are the #scientists at government and regulatory agencies such as the #pharmacopoeias (#USP/#NF, #BP, #ChP, #AHP, etc.) and the #FDA. All of them seem to close one eye as if the evil is not there. We have tons of #regulations and #standards of #identity and #quality for our drugs and other ingestible chemicals that we routinely take into our body, but they somehow have not been applied to #commercial #herbal #supplements. One main reason I can think of is the difficulty of #distinguishing #synthetic #chemicals #from #natural #traditional #medicines or #herbs. Most of my scientist colleagues/friends in government and industry seem totally confused, and I believe they truly don’t know what to do.
If you are in this business as I for so long, you can easily see 2 or more herbal supplements on the market containing the same herbal ingredients on their labels are seldom alike, if ever. In fact, sometimes they are totally different! Can this be the reason that surgeons who have made their name on TV by whatever means become peddlers of herbal supplements because it is more lucrative than practicing surgery?
I am tired of being the only one pointing this out for so many years or decades. But I am not giving up because I still believe in the good of most people and in my life-long luck as well. I am not an admirer of the despicable politicians who only chase after money, power, or fame without morals. They constitute most of the current politicians in power led by the most ignorant narcissist with the lowest IQ. Hence, I don’t want anything to do with the likes of them. Though I am still trying to figure out why some human beings can routinely lie and cheat for themselves and their boss with no conscience. https://www.linkedin.com/in/albert-leung-9b933913www.ayslcorp.com/blog
