I’m glad you are putting this stuff out there. When I run your articles by conventional med folks I know, their eyes glaze over. Your typical doc has no clue how drugs are made or the intricacies involved. I know ONE doc who is savvy enough and that’s only because he has patents on some things. He’s still surprised at what he reads in your stuff.
This issue has been a problem for mass marketed herbals for a long time. Adulteration of herbals still happens. I know many manufacturers from when we were baby herbalists and alternative med practitioners together. Only a literal handful is trustworthy from that group as many have sold their businesses to others whose ethics aren’t the same; sold to pharm companies where ethics don’t exist; or they’ve died and family members aren’t upholding standards. It seems where money is involved, the human species just falls apart. Making the human psyche and all its tendencies the real problem.
I will stick with my herbals and medicines made here in my home. Supply chain is under my direct control at all times. Cheaper and saves a lot of grief. I don’t discount some of the older drugs but there aren’t many of those that I can’t find an herbal analog to in order to get the same thing done. We definitely need a different paradigm in medicine. Not money-based but actually health-of-the-patient based. That last one always seems to be a hit and miss issue in human endeavors, including any form of medicine.
Anyway, this was a good article and I’ll share it. To some herbal manufacturing folks as well.
"Hit and miss"!? The history of medical science and research reveals that lies and deception and MONEY were the main factors in determining how health care was to proceed; once the allopathic model of medicine was adopted it has been a steady trajectory of failure with any real science immediately discredited as being an enemy of the status-quo; that same history is replete with evidence of the deliberate destruction of the lives and work of genuine scientific geniuses whose only goal was honest discoveries in the pursuit of truth in science; instead we continue to believe in and follow the false paradigm that couldn't care less about patient health and only motivated by power, control and profit; any real change must start with an acknowledgement and understanding of past medical history and finally taking responsibility for the enormous failures and falsehood we have allowed to be perpetuated; but that is a task most of us are still unprepared for, just as we are as much unprepared in placing hope for change in another election.
You are right, of course Tony. No sensible person would argue with what you are saying, in my opinion. Is it hopeless, do you think? Or is there a chance of a paradigm shift along the lines described by ForestDi56?
Still a lot of cognitive dissonance to overcome because of the almost total loss of independent and critical thinking; then there is the complicity of so many stakeholders who still aggressively argue on behalf of the false paradigm; and this, unfortunately, includes most of the medical profession and today's "scientists" as well as the firmly entrenched political swamp beholden to Big Pharma and rooted in government corruption; that swamp only deepens with a Harris win while a Trump victory with RFKjr offers some hope for future reform....but I'm not holding my breath! Either way America is a failed state (among others) and the only thing guaranteed is that the "collective stupidity" (Bonhoeffer) of its voters will make a mockery of any real hope for redemption.
Yes Tony - cognitive dissonance has kept people in complete denial all this time. And the rest of what you say is bang on - mutual back scratching of so many organisations and governments and government bodies, all in the name of $$$$$. With Donald Trump at the helm now, what's your thinking?
Big Pharma needs to look for its fortune only in repurposed drugs, yes repurposed drugs. It needs to redraw its business model. The new molecules tap, that was gushing 50 plus years ago is now literally dry and the companies are impatient to wait a ten year evaluation cycle. Bio molecules like monoclonal antibodies are very disease specific, have their own safety issues and often commercially underpaying, with demands dampened by their exorbitant prices, partly due to greedy rush. In the long run, only repurposed drugs can save them, even nourish them. First there are hundreds of them to go around. Their safety and use profiles are well established and that is 80% fast forward. Their off label potential appears huge, going by the examples known so far, particularly in this Covid era. They are highly affordable and accessible, safe, can be effective and thus can bring in huge volume business. That is how they become successful business propositions too. A situation exact opposite of patented drugs which suffer the high cost - low volume business syndrome. As I see it, the present platter of 2000-2500 drugs are capable of carrying the burden of this century through repurposing, but that will be huge research driven, something for which the big Pharma is well equipped. In their future business model, they have to see if they can bypass the competition from generic companies, to make reasonable gains on their repurposing research effort. If each drug molecule can be repurposed for three indications aside from their label, that is a new opportunity basket of 10000 model prescriptions. A revenue reservoir for a long long time. I don’t know if any CEO of a big pharma has thought about this.
I agree with you in the main Moro, except I don't thing there will be such a things as Big Pharma in the Future. Investors will desert it like rats leaving a sinking ship very soon now, once the people who can take action (eg Donald Trump, JFK. Jr) know that all big pharma has to sell is gene modified cell therapies that are toxic. I am already writing on a new physician-led paradigm, where repurposing is a major component. Along with that is inclusion of proven natural therapies that have a strong evidence-base behind them. It could be Ayurveda, homeopathic, or other approaches. However, they will have to be regulated to ensure they are safe. We cannot assume that they will be manufactured to the correct standards just because they are not allopathic medicines. This is a briedf sample of what I am writing:
"Underpinning Principles of the New Paradigm
The suggested approach begins with the assumption that a person is a hugely complex system, the internal workings of which are way beyond our understanding. Health is determined by the body that Mother Nature bestowed upon us at birth. The less interference there is with Mother Nature’s creation, the better. If illness does come our way, the body has its own way of dealing with it in the majority of cases, if left to its own devices. Hence the doctor’s Hippocratic Oath: “Primum non nocere” or "First, do no harm."
We assume that a clinician’s role is to focus initially on maintaining the health and wellbeing of prospective patients, aimed at preventing health issues. If a person’s health does not appear to be resolved by the body, diagnosis of a possible illness is the next stage. The quality of that diagnosis rests with the clinicians and the diagnostic tools available to them. The importance of advances in the diagnosis of disease is therefore paramount. A remedy for a patient is useless if they do not know they have a condition that needs medical attention.
Following diagnosis of a health condition, doctors normally have treatment alternatives. If the diagnosis uncovers lack of one or more vitamins or minerals, then a functional medicine route would likely be most appropriate. That will allow a treatment regimen to be identified and the patient’s progress monitored. An excellent text that covers this topic in depth is The Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Functional Illnesses"
I will be posting soon on the book I have written and submitted to Wiley, which contains the above. Hope that makes sense, Moro?
Occam's Razor tells me that the SARS-CoV-2 "virus" is an semi-artificial entity that acts like a virus in how it infects, reproduces, and spreads, but in fact was intentionally invented and manufactured expressly to provide the situation in which mRNA injections could be foisted on as many billion humans as possible.

BigPharma, according to this article from 2017, Was (is) an industry BigTrouble:
Nice catch salience! Yes, the industry was in big trouble in 2017, but it began in the mid-1980's, when Big Pharma created itself by selling all its physical assets to focus on patents and selling. The last four decades have been a gradual decent into the gutter. I try to steer people away from the Gates/depopulation agenda, as it disguises the amount of big trouble big pharma got itself into by its own making...
its own making, but out of necessity when trapped in end-stage capitalism. How can "Health Care" that allows "investors" to take the lion's share of it all live up to its stated purpose? Nationalize the whole bleedin' lot and put it under a board of disinterested directors selected from some of the heroes that have provided us with such good guidance here on Substack.
What do you think f this? Was George Merck being genuine then, do you think?
