Natural-Scientific vs. Pharmaceutical Medicine
One can define two ways to practice medicine:
Natural-Scientific—Identify the deficiencies, excesses, or dysfunction of essential molecules
and molecular systems in the body and correct them using bioidentical molecules whenever
possible (hormones, nutrients, genes, etc.).
Pharmaceutical—Create and dispense non-natural, patentable molecules that will produce
some improvement in any given symptom, lab result, or disease.
Natural hormones and vitanutrients can restore health. Pharmaceuticals usually cannot
restore health except in certain cases (e.g. killing parasites). Pharmaceuticals are alien
molecules, if they were not alien to the body, they could not be patented and therefore would not
be profitable. Being unnatural to the body, their effects in the body are always of a negative kind--
they disrupt normal physiology by blocking receptors or inhibiting enzymes. The body does not
recognize pharmaceuticals and cannot easily eliminate them. They can cause allergic
reactions, numerous side effects, and long-term damage to health. The use of
pharmaceuticals is often necessary, of course, but should always be a last resort and should
be accompanied by proper hormone and vitanutrient restoration. However, our conventional
medical system is so oriented towards pharmaceutical practice that every complaint, every
abnormal physical or lab finding is viewed as an opportunity to prescribe a drug approved by
the FDA for that problem. Hormones and vitanutrients are neglected. Inadequate, outdated
ideas about testing for and restoring hormones persist.
Natural Scientific practice should be primary; pharmaceutical practice secondary. Every
auto mechanic knows that he should fix the cause of the problem and correct it with original
parts whenever possible--right? But that's not how conventional medicine views the human
body. Instead, every symptom or laboratory abnormality is seen as an indication to prescribe
some invented molecule that does not belong in the human body and is generally poisonous.
Today the emphasis is on pharmaceutical practice--putting a bandaid on the problem and
using parts that are not original! That's where the big money is for the pharmaceutical
corporations, so that's the model they promote with their billions of research and advertising
dollars. Pharmaceutical companies fund medical organizations and medical information at all
levels, distorting medical science so much that most physicians have unfounded confidence in
unnatural drugs while remaining ignorant and fearful of natural hormones, vitamins, and
minerals!
So one misses the point completely when complaining about "allopathic", "conservative", or
"Western" medicine. Today's dominant practice model is none of those things: It is Radical
Pharmaceutical Medicine. It is a perversion of natural medical science and of the history,
culture, and morality of the medical profession.
