Pharma Nation

A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here

Big Pharma 

We are a pharma nation and it is our way of life. Because, prescriptive drugs are so prevalent, it goes unnoticed by us except when see it abused by a younger generation.  We eagerly down pills for just about anything, from being anxious, sleepless, fat, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar levels, almost all brought about by our lifestyle choices.  Prescription and over the counter potions to treat heartburn, constipation, aches and pains, headaches, erectile dysfunction, PMS, addictions, hair loss, and skin conditions are in most medicine cabins.  If there is anything we do not have a pill for it’s in the pipe line.

War on Only Half the Drug Problem

You can not have a war on drugs, and look the other way on the wholesale abuse of regular everyday pharmaceuticals.  The problem is they are considered normal and everyday when they have no right to be in that category.  The first thing that happens when a celebrity overdoses on an abuse of legal pharmaceuticals, the powers that be scours the place in the search of illegal substances.  Never mind, that they used a mix of different legal substances in large doses that can do collateral damage.  Remember, this generation is setting the example for the next.  We are saying if it comes from the pharmaceutical industry it is good, and we can solve problems with a pill.

Personal Responsibility

Personal responsibility is abrogated to a large medical industry, with you having little control over your own health.  This is the message we are sending to future generations.

Having given very little thought to why we are in this situation, and buying the profit making giants promises of a bright tomorrow, bliss is just a pill away.  Without a pharmaceutical industry we would be finding ways to alleviate our aches and pains and sleepless nights naturally.  Most of the children diagnosed with things called hyper-activity, and attention deficit, we would instead contribute to poor diet, lack of sleep, or lack of discipline.

Youth and Drugs

If we are drugging youngsters, and treating problems in that way, they now have a model of how things are done.  Also, it shortens the stretch to recreational drugs.  The difference isn’t that far except for the terms legal, and illegal, which does not hold that much weight to young people who see the hypocritical nature of the beast.  When children see adults with a pill, and a glass of water often enough it becomes a common place experience.  I really do not see how we can lead by example; in that case the words are empty.  Adults seem to need substances to function in today’s world, and the same seems to sadly hold true for our children.

Wake Up Call

The answer is to wake up from the pharmaceutical daze, and see clearly that this is not the direction to attain health. Then, and only then can we help ourselves and our children brake free of the addiction cycle.  It is somewhat easier than you think, just go to your pantry and refrigerator and see what is there.  There you will find the answer to the problem that lurks in your medicine cabinet.
