RE: Big Pharma, Part 2: The Drug Development
Read this series the wrong way round started at 3 then 1 and 2.
A question for this series,
There is natural remedy's that have been for a long time, so why do we really need drugs and drug testing on animals?
That's a good point. And the answer is simple. Traditional medicine and pharma drugs both have their own merits and limitations. I think they can complement eachother, not be enemies. As a matter of fact, the indian ayurveda and the chinese traditional medicine do not disregard modern medicine, on the contrary they embrace it when they cannot treat of a heal certain diseases, and will tell you to go to the hospital when they fail. But unfortunately the opposite isn't true, as modern doctors will not refer you to traditional medicine because they simple don't understand its value. It's endoctrination. Nevertheless, some modern doctors are open minded and do study alternative medicine, but those are rare. If your doctor is sincere, he will tell you to take a break and excercice if they see you're exhausted, and if that doesn't help, he will prescribe you something. A bad doctor will go for the pill, make more money, and call the NEXT patient.
