There is a balance between industries and common every day folks across all walks and aspects of life. There is no doubt about it, big corporations have become very powerful. They have developed influence in the political arena as part of their power structures.
Therefore in one camp is the power of the mechanists, those who manufacture drugs in laboratories. Perhaps, as some rumours would have it, they work a bit too closely with government agencies. These agencies should be non-biased, but it appears that they may be compromised. With such power, these companies, can spend huge amounts of money on research and get things approved that some may argue should not be approved. To make up for these research costs, they overcharge consumers with outrageious prices. They always seem to rack up major profits.
Yet, the natural remedies that currently exist have no such champion with big purse strings. In fact, many of the big prescription drug remedies are nothing more than concentrated, synthetic copies of compounds that naturally exist in nature.
So, therefore, regular remedies that grow in the forest, desert or perhaps even in one’s backyard can’t get the stamp of approval from this unnamed government agency, as a substance that is proven to have this or that effect on health. It’s rather funny when you think about it. But then, nature was there before any government and nature will be there after. Interesting isn’t it? Nature doesn’t seem to require government approval.
The pendulum is due or getting close to the point where it has to swing back. As a result, those who have preserved and conserved the ancient healing methods passed down to us persist. They are there. The knowledge is there. One merely has to look. Now days, that looking is getting easier and easier all of the time. The more greedy the current power structure’s components get, the more the old, natural ways of healing will rise again. In the end, people will turn to them as the cost of ‘modern’ treatment spirals beyond the reach of the majority of human beings.
In other cases, some people just know about simple things that work and they seem to work better, cost less and cause less trauma to the human body when implemented than the results derived from going through ‘official’ channels. If you are a person who doesn’t have unlimited wealth, what way are you likely to go?
