Are we just another cash crop?
Prof. Keith Scott-Mumby writes... "I suggested maybe we should
re-christen the drug industry as the FARMER-ceutical trade. We are the
crop that is being farmed so cunningly and with such disastrous
consequences."
A bit extreme? Perhaps not. When you think about all the chemicals
pumped into our systems, both directly and indirectly (vaccines,
pesticides, nicotine, etc.), the FDA wouldn't certify human beings
because we are so full of toxins! Then who has to pay to get healthy
again? We do.
Even here in Canada, most alternative medicine is considered
"experimental" and therefore not covered by our health care system. But
what happens when the covered medical services can't help? We are left
on our own searching for answers and paying out of our own pockets to
cover our expenses.
We have to keep rethinking everything.
