If herbal medicine (homeopathy) works faster and better than the generic brands why doesn't the government

Question

support it? and it is also cheaper and more likely to prevent virus/bacteria from mutating

Answer 1

Because that way The Pharmaceutical industry will lose all its business if they let the people know how effective Homeopathy really is. They just do not want us to be using anything which can possibly Cure us. Who needs those drastic side effects but alas the people are blind to the truth. What a bloody shame.

I salute you for raising the question now check out how many are going to abuse you for doing it :-)

Best of Health and take care !

P.S
THANKS TO THE BLOODY MORON WHO IS GIVING ALL OF US THE THUMBS DOWN ! I SALUTE HIM WITH MY MIDDLE FINGER !

Answer 2

oh good lord, don't get me started. I own a small health food store and let me begin by saying that herbal medicine and homeopathy are, by definition two totally different things. Herbal medicine treats with different combinations of herbs and homeopathy is much more complicated. That being said they both are considered alternative forms of medicine and can be both hugely effective, less invasive and almost always less expensive, and a much safer form of treatment. I do believe that conventional medicine has a place in our society but i have much more faith in alternative medicine at this point in my life. I also don't know of any studies that says alternative medicine works faster or better than mainstream medicine.. What we do know is that in many cases it works just as fast and just as well. The main part of your question that i would like to respond to is the part where you refer to the government and why it doesn't support most forms of alternate healing. First of all medicine in this country is all about money, and nothing to do with healing the american people. Look at any food product in your pantry and if you don't see corn syrup or sugar or soy or a dozen different additives or chemicals listed then you either shop at a health food store or it's a miracle. The government and the pharmacutical companies are making billions and billions of dollars by keeping the american public sick and uninformed. The sad part is that americans, for the most part are being led along and believe everything the government tells us. What a bunch of fools we are. Our food processing standards are one of the lowest in the world, and we accept that and continue to eat foods that are considered contaminated by standards in other countries. We ignorantly accept anything the government tells us without questioning it...i mean after all, the government wouldn't LIE to us, right???? The food manufacturers wouldn't put anything in our food that wasn't GOOD for us, would they??? Doctors wouldn't prescribe a medication that would keep us SICK, would they??? I personally know several people that have cured themselves of major diseases with natural or homeopathic cures. Government and big pharmacutical companies want this all hush hushed or they try to discredit these cures for one reason. Natural cures cannot be patented like synthetic drugs. Which means they can't have a monopoly on all the money that could be made. It's such a shame...but worse is that we allow it to happen. American people need to wake up and start asking questions...and demanding answers...and demanding change.

Answer 3

Why doesn't the government support it? Because it is cheaper. The government is supported by profitable businesses. If we, the people, want our government to support something, we must first support it, ourselves.

We can, in time, get government support for better and faster medicine if we support it ourselves. We hear about these natural remedies, and we tell our friends and relatives about them, but, there is no big money supporting them, as there is the drug (legal) industry.

IMHO: The best argument is that we really need something to prevent virus and bacteria mutating.

Answer 4

Yay !!! Good for you for thinking for yourself and good on you Bob for braving the backlash !! I was starting to think that the well oiled marketing machines out there had brain washed nearly all of humanity!!

Bob is right on the money, but not only will the Pharmaceutical industry drop tonnes of $$, imagine the Doctors (hahaha) and the Specialists (bigger hahaha) that will be out of a job??? The amount of times I have helped people on this site deal with simple vitamin deficiencies, after being told by their Doctors to take a barrage of major organ tests and been pumped with an inordinate amount of useless chemical and useless medications I simply can't recall. I mean, seriously, if the Doctors just told their patients to stop eliminating whole food groups, focus on natural/organic, fresh fruit and vegies, lean meats and fish and chicken, wholegrain breads and cereals, nuts and seeds, plenty of filtered water and eliminate all sugar/chemicals/toxins/junk and white foods wot do you think would happen???? Yep, people would avoid chronic illnesses in droves and Doctors (read amoral quacks) would be out of a job !!!

Go figure, people will just not be told though, they think they everything in moderation is an acceptable way to live!! Seriously, can you imagine !! To my way of thinking, if something is toxic it doesn't matter whether you have a little bit or a lot, it will just poison you slower !! It's akin to asking for just a little bit of herpes or cancer !! The idea is to prevent these devastating diseases occurring in the first place, treat your bodies as a temple, with the utmost respect. You wouldn't expect your car to run on chocolate now would you?? No, you need petrol. Same with our bodies, chocolate is mainly sugar, which has no nutritional value whatsoever and therefore is a toxin to our bodies.

The Government would prefer to eke as much $$$ out of their big fat medicine cow as possible, with the only downside in their minds being a little bit of blood on their hands !! They have basically brain washed the bulk of the community into believing that Naturopaths, Homeopaths, Nutritionists are all crackpot hippies who are high on wacky weed all day long !!

We just need to start doing the research and thinking for ourselves, cos believe it or not, the people that have your health and well being truly in the fore of their minds are YOU & YOUR WHOLISTIC HEALERS !!!


PEACE & LIGHT TO YOU

Answer 5

As others have said: $$$$$$$$. The pharmaceutical industry is gargantuan. Trying to change that is like trying to convince the gov't to switch from oil to cleaner forms of energy

Answer 6

Because it does not work efficiently and effectively on the majority of people. It has nothing to do with costs. It has to do with what works and what does not work for whatever ails you.

If it worked people would use it despite the government. There just is no documented scientific proof that herbal medicine works at all efficiently. There is documented scientific proof that antibiotics and other drugs work. Bottom line will always be . . if it doesn't work you won't use it . . if it works, people will use it.
