A majority of people know that medicinal compounds found in plants find their way to pharmaceutical labs. Plants are what makes and shapes the pharmaceutical industry. To restructure plant compounds into more effective drugs is enabling the drug companies to expand.

The demand for new and better drugs is at the center of this search. For a long time humans have used a variety of plants for medicinal purposes. The difference now is that chemists have found new ways to expand plants pharmaceutical value through genetic engineering.

Pharmacology

Pharmacology tries to improve the original structure. They have seen glimmers of hope by doing this. The real breakthroughs is not in capturing some variation, but in the shrinking our reliance on modifying through technology. Turning a plant into something different and expecting it to exceed its already majestic properties is the wrong focus.

What we really need is the soil quality that was present before we depleted the mineral quality. Genetic manipulation doesn’t offer benefits and will challenge the future of our food supply. All the public can do is wait, wonder and worry if there will be unintended consequences.

Natures Healing

This is a way to take natures powerful healing plants and turn them into cash cows. So what they have are literally doing is crossing a cash cow and a natural resource. Turning plants into a more bankable substance may not be real progress. Science may be taking natures powerful healing ability and changing it into an unnatural compound.

Engineering new genes into plants has been going on for awhile. Scientists developed corn that could produce and insecticide, which comes from a bacterial gene. Corn which was altered to produce an insecticide is polluting the water and streams near the corn fields. Bloomberg reports that 85% of the corn grown in the U.S. is genetically modified. This toxic corn is feed to livestock.

If plants are the way to treat disease, why haven’t we utilized the healing properties by consuming them as a diet staple, and ensuring that they grow in nutrient rich soil? Plants are already nutritionally potent and complete concentrated sources of healing compounds. They can protect, stimulate, regenerate cells and are easy-to-assimilate. They come as a balanced formula.

Science

While science spends so much time to see that we have a diet of engineered foods that devours our nutrients, they are looking to fix the health problems that are produced by bombarding our systems with prescription drugs. Now, they will take the foods that heal and turn them into pills, and powders that are easy and convenient t to take. They have restructured a fresh whole food, shrinking its nutritional value, and inflating its monetary worth.

Stem cells are essential for health. Stem cells are a natural part of our body. Natural healing in the future will use stem cells in their arsenal of treatments. This comes back to taking nature’s powerful healing ability and using it.

Stem cells are a natural and effective treatment for most conditions. It is a real solution that holds some incredible promise. The fact is drugs are not the answer. They may be effective in mitigating some symptoms, but they are worthless in riding us of lingering illness. Real progress and breakthroughs will come when we look to the power of our body to generate healthy stem cells.

Stem Cells the Future

Stems cells are the future, and they have nothing to do with the controversy going on. We don’t need embryonic research to harness stem cells. The bottom line is we have methods to harvest them from the person who needs them 

The bottom line is we have some power over our stem cells. A study by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies revealed that stem cells can sense a decrease in available nutrients and respond by retaining only a small pool of stem cells for tissue maintenance. When conditions are favorable, stem cell numbers will multiply.

This is enormous news. Here is the catch, stem cells extensively proliferate in early embryos, but by adulthood only a few stem cells remain. Our bodies are maintained by our stem cells response.

Making the most of what you’ve got

The adult stem cells have the potential to develop into most tissues in the body and have the capacity to migrate toward damaged areas. According to the National Institutes of Health, the main roll of adult stem cells is to maintain and repair tissue. Aging affects the number and the ability of stem cells to maintain a healthy immune system.

Wild blueberry supports the proliferation of stem cells. Green tea extract enhances the proliferation of stem cells in the body. Vitamin D supports adult stem cell renewal, and also helps these cells become immune cells.

Until stem cell research catches up the answer may be in our actions.

Health care in America doesn’t support health. Health care has adopted a very clear way of delivering wellness. It bypasses Mother Nature and goes to work interfering with natural healing.

Scary Health Care

There is an updated joint guideline by the American Society of Hematology (ASH) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) about the appropriate use of erythropiesis- stimulating agents (ESAs), a class of drugs that stimulate the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, to treat cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia. While the guideline cautions that ESAs are associated with shorter survival and increased risk of thromboembolism-blood clots-and tumor progression, it also recognizes their major benefit of reducing the need for red blood cell transfusions, which can potentially cause serious infections and adverse reactions in the immune system.

Enough said lets try something different, which will make a substantial impact on the condition. It is becoming increasingly clear that the battle is being fought on the wrong front, with the wrong weapons, and the wrong idea of what the enemy looks like.

What medicine does is try to reinvent the wheel. They are engaging a battle with a condition they don’t even understand. Without the answers to a few basic questions you can’t actually expect to come up with productive solutions. Healing is not a matter of going to war, but identifying and rectifying a condition. You have to support the immune system not destroy it.

It seems like the health care industry is on autopilot, they aren’t transformers of health, but Kamikazes. They are bent on destruction of a tumor at any costs, to the point of putting the patient in great jeopardy.

Healing is an Amazing Journey

What you do right now makes tomorrow. Most health problems are what you did before. Understanding this simple concept eludes the medical community.

To feel better now you have to be and act better now. Instead of trying to kill the messenger, you balance your body back to health.

What the medical profession doesn’t strive for is giving you the best quality and quantity of life. They don’t know how to. What you inhale, ingest, and absorb are every bit a part of the picture.

The common co-defendants are what is on your dinner plate, prescriptions, air pollution, stress level, and chemical exposure. So chemo isn’t detoxification it is a powerful response to a weaken condition. Now it will add discomfort, constipation, depression, memory loss, nausea, hair loss, and a host of other problems. Long lasting health, vitality and stamina are not a chemo formula away.
