Ok you ignore 5000 years of learning and trust to socialized medicine. Ignorance is bliss
There is a huge difference between a drug and how an industry is managed - you are not even comparing apples to apples.
“:There is a huge difference between a drug and how an industry is managed - you are not even comparing apples to apples.”
No you are the one advocating throwing away 5000 years of knowledge and only trusting to what has been ‘discovered’ recently.
I’m the one suggesting that much can be learned from those 5000 years and used in our medical system. The human body has fantastic healing capabilities. It would be better to use those capabilities and things God gave us than to insist on a brute force primitive approach just because you refuse to consider the old timers could have been on to something.
Behavin’ membranes are a must.
Uh, oh, soon to be made illegal by Big Daddy Gummint!

God also gave us the new stuff as well.

There is no harm in studying ancient remedies. The chemistry is staggering as so many separate chemicals which exist in the compound could be “the cause” of any benefit. Secondly, they rarely work out. Lastly, the “remedies” are usually witchcraft. Once again if all the ‘secret’ ‘ancient remedies’ worked why does their country of origin have a death rate like that of the middle ages.
Yes God did give us the new stuff. So why not use both? The only reason not to study old methods and use those that make sense is ego.

Did I say ignore modern methods? No I did not. I’d say the biggest single contributor to longer lives is antibiotics. Many of the compounds used previously do help with infections but as well as the antibiotics.

You see, this is why my body is in such disorder--it has nothing to do with my cruddy diet of caffeine and cigarettes, it's because I don't like turmeric!
If you think so then invest in it and make a fortune.
Me, I consider it snake oil sales 101.
Free country - so be happy.

I’m not interested in giving it all to the govt in taxes.
“Me, I consider it snake oil sales 101.”
Some of it is, some of it isn’t.
Thanks for the ping & link.
I am glad we can agree to disagree reasonably. Makes the discussions much better. Hope you have a great week.
Keep the faith.
Thanks for the info.
