Summary
What's interesting about Genentech's announcement of its overhyped drug
for colon cancer isn't the news itself: it's the terminology used by the
industry to describe this class of drugs. They're called "smart-bomb
drugs." That's right: smart bombs. Like the kind the United States drops
on residential buildings in Iraq. The use of this terminology
reveals the underlying philosophy of Western medicine: the body is a
battleground. Drugs are weapons. Diseases are the enemy. To cure the
patient, you must destroy> the disease using whatever weapons are
necessary! That's the language of Western medicine, and it's
completely wrong. The body isn't a battleground, it is a self-healing
system. The disease isn't an enemy, it is the inevitable expression of a
body that's out of balance. You don't help patients by using "weapons of
mass destruction," you help patients by bringing them back into balance
(good nutrition, physical exercise, avoidance of all metabolic
disruptors, and supplementation with superfoods and medicinal herbs, if
needed) and then allowing their own bodies to conduct the healing
process. But Western doctors just want to go in and wipe things out.
They slice out tumors with sharp knives. They burn tumors with deadly
radiation. They poison the entire patient with toxic chemotherapy.
That's not medicine, folks. That's medical insanity. The true causes
of healing simply aren't understood by Western medicine, and certainly
not by pharmaceutical companies. The human body already knows how to
heal itself. All you have to do is stop poisoning your body (with junk
foods, soft drinks and prescription drugs) and start treating yourself
right. It's really no more complicated than good nutrition, physical
exercise, and stress reduction. Good health is well within your reach.
