If there are alternative medicines and natural treatments that really work, why don't we hear more about them? Some people call them “conspiracy” theories, but to me it’s simply thinking critically and connecting the dots of information that’s not fed via mainstream media.
The movement between government posts and positions in the pharmaceutical corporations is well documented. This easy movement between the boardrooms and the FDA and other agencies certainly leaves room for abuse and "back door agreements."
More often than not, though, there is just a conspiracy-of-common-interest that prevents safe alternative medicines from coming to market, or from becoming widely known.
I want to help break it down very simply for those who are just becoming more aware. For example, drug companies don't want the competition of alternatives to their drugs. Meanwhile, it is politically safer for the FDA to not allow a product, because if they approve something and it causes any problems, they get the blame. This is a convenient coinciding of interests.
Natural products, like silymarin (Milk Thistle Extract), for example, which is used all over Europe to treat poisonings and to protect the liver, are legal here in the USA, but not well known. This is because, as a natural product, there is no way to patent it. Without being able to exclude others from selling it, no company can afford to spend the millions it would take to get it approved as a medicine here.
A natural product also can't be marketed heavily. Imagine if a large company spent millions to promote a medicinal herb. As soon as they got the public's attention, all the smaller companies could undercut them on the price, since they spent nothing on marketing, and a plant product is usually the same no matter what the name on the label. No company wants to spend big money on a product they don't have an exclusive right to.
When a plant isn't approved as a natural treatment, there are no pharmaceutical reps out there educating doctors about it (didn't you know that's how doctors keep educated?). In addition, even if a doctor has read about a useful plant, he or she is more likely to face a malpractice suit for an allergic reaction to an alternative medicine than from killing someone with a "standard and accepted" treatment. Which do you think he'll recommend?
Companies face the same issues of liability. In addition, the companies are limited in what they can say about these natural products. This is why you can look all over the box that some plant medicines or supplements come in, and never once see a mention of what it is for. It is tough to learn about these natural treatments, isn't it?
In fact, the FDA never even approves “supplements” such as vitamins that are naturally plant-based. However, they also don’t do a great job at saying that’s not even their department, that’s not their role in the United States government. So, when someone looks into a supplement to help with their health, they are conditioned to be “alarmed” by the big statement of “NOT FDA APPROVED” as if that’s a warning label. When really, that is like seeing a sign on the doors of the DMV saying “WE REFUSE TO SELL BANANAS”. It’s literally not even their job.
In other words, if you want to know about alternative medicines and medical treatment, you have to look outside the mainstream for your information. You have to do your own research from trusted sources that cover these alternatives, and sometimes, when it is safe, you have to even experiment a little on yourself.
As for my own approach, I like to see that there is actually some real research that demonstrates a benefit. Anecdotal evidence doesn't mean much. People get better all the time, and credit whatever they happened to be using at the time. On the other hand, if it is inexpensive and safe, like taking supplements to improve my gut health to help my immune system and brain function, you bet I’m doing it.
Do natural treatments work? More often than you’d think. I am all for modern medicine and science, however, I have seen with my own eyes MANY times that some alternative medicines really do work for many things and it’s worth looking into doing your own research about.
