Modern medicine is about repeat customers by treating symptoms and not curing anything.
For athlete’s foot that I had, I found soaking my feet in vinegar and using Vick’s vapor rub did a lot more good for it than any medication on the market.
A quarter cup of bleach in a dishpan size footbath works too..............
Also dry between your toes with your socks before you put them on. Never had athletes foot again.
“Modern medicine is about repeat customers by treating symptoms and not curing anything.”
That is so true about many “pharma” tools in use today.
It is also true with many ailments it is the symptoms that make the ailment feel so bad, even in the simplest things. You have a fever or nausea from a virus, and most medicines you take bring down the fever or nausea while it is your body’s immune system that goes after the virus.
Most medicines for hypertension cause changes to offset whatever is causing the hypertension, but most likely do not address any root cause, because many people have the one or more “causes” claimed to be behind hypertension, such as
Obesity;
Poor Diet: High salt intake and diets low in potassium;
Lack of Exercise: Physical inactivity can lead to weight gain and other health problems that increase blood pressure risk;
Smoking: Smoking damages blood vessels, increasing the risk of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases;
Excessive Alcohol Consumption: Heavy drinking can raise blood pressure;
Stress: Chronic stress can trigger the release of hormones that constrict blood vessels, leading to temporary increases in blood pressure.
and yet never develop high blood pressure.
It is my belief that modern medicine understands 100 times more about what it can do to offset hypertension that it does about determining the cause with each individual. They throw different hypertension meds at the case until they get one or a combination “that works”. Can they ever say “this is what has caused your hypertension” - almost never.
