Made by Man versus Made by Nature

[Guest guest]

It is my strong belief that if something is not present in nature,

then it is probably not natural for us to put it into our bodies. The

reason for this is quite simple - the things found in nature are what

our bodies have adapted over the eons to be compatible with and the

things made by man are foreign to our bodies. I fear that all too

soon genetically modified organisms (GMO) will again prove my belief,

and likely in horrific ways. In the meanwhile, I believe that

man-made drugs have proven it to be true for well over a century.

 

The synthetic drugs created entirely in the laboratories of man, the

synthetic versions of compounds found in nature, and the natural

compounds isolated unnaturally in the labs are seldom compatible with

our bodies, because none of them are found in that form in nature. In

the synthetic versions, we have a substance that our bodies have not

naturally adapted to or encountered - no matter how close it may be in

molecular structure to a natural compound. In the isolated compound

taken directly from a natural plant or other organic form, we have a

single compound without all the synergistic components that accompany

it in the natural plant which we encounter in nature.

 

Nature works synergistically, just like the human body itself, where

the total organism is much greater than the sum of the parts. Remove

one key supporting compound and you have changed the effectiveness and

compatibility of the entire substance. Similarly, a deficiency in one

vital nutrient among a great many can cause other nutrients to be less

effectively utilized in the human body, just as an impairment in one

organ or system in the body can cause impairments in others and lead

to poor overall health for the entire body.

 

Big Pharma either fails to realize that, or else just doesn't give a

damn because only the unnatural synthetics and isolates are patentable

and profitable. Which is no doubt why over 95% of all FDA approved

drugs have side effects. And which fits right in with the great

failing of mainstream medicine itself - treating the body as a

collection of parts and only treating the part where a symptom

manifests itself instead of treating the underlying causes and the

whole body.

 

When man plays God, or when profit becomes God, mankind invariably

suffers.

 

Live long, live healthy, live happy!
