Unlearning Pharmaceutical Drugs

To live longer, you must unlearn what you have previously learned, that is, letting go of all your preconceptions related to all the hows and the whys of living longer. Remember, the knowledge you are currently possessing may have been generated by the futile and the limited material world you are living in.

Life itself is a sacred journey involving change, growth, and self-discovery. Knowledge is empowering, but it has to be distilled by true human wisdom. Therefore, to deepen your love of health, you should seek not just knowledge but also wisdom in order to expand your vision and stretch your soul so that you may stay both physically and spiritually healthy. Your knowledge and wisdom may provide you with meaning and direction to reach the destination of your journey.

Unlearning Pharmaceutical Drugs

As we age, our self-made energy from the food we have consumed over the years begins to decline, and this is evidenced by our difficulty or inability to cope with the stressors of life. These stressors may have come in many different forms, such as overexposure to sunlight, polluted air, contaminated water, and a host of other lifestyle factors of modern life. After decades of abuse and misuse, our choices—whether we have made them knowingly, or they have been imposed unwittingly on ourselves—begin to take their toll, resulting in the development of chronic conditions and degenerative diseases. To add insult to injury, our metabolic slowdown that comes with the natural process of aging makes it even more difficult to maintain our health and energy.

To deal with our health issues, many of us may desire a quick-fix, and thus turning to pharmaceutical drugs, which are toxic chemicals that address the symptoms but without removing the causes of the health conditions.

Unfortunately, unsafe and toxic pharmaceutical drugs are prevalent. This is an indisputable fact! Unreliable drug tests abound in the medical and the pharmaceutical research communities. Drug tests prior to their FDA approval may not be reliable due to the following reasons:

· Pharmaceutical companies may often influence medical researchers, through coercion, incentive, and even threat, to produce the desired results in clinical trials. There have been many cases of data fabrication in clinical trials of drugs in order to facilitate their intended applications.

·      Clinical trials usually involve a small number of people, and may not truly reflect the outcome of those who will ultimately be using those drugs after their approval by the FDA.

·  Drugs tested on animal models may be biased and even irrelevant. An artificially-induced disease in non-human animals may not yield results relevant to a spontaneous, naturally-occurring human disease.

The truth of the matter is that unsafe pharmaceutical drugs are rampant. There can be no absolute safety of any pharmaceutical drug. That explains why pharmaceutical companies often save their skin with a barrage of warnings of possible and potential side effects. If a drug does not kill you, its many side effects might. In fact, many people actually die every year from drug complications, drug overdoses, or inappropriate drug combinations. Does it make good sense to be drug-free?

Given its very toxic nature, do not readily reach out for any over-the-counter drug without any second thought; even for any prescription drug, you should be extra cautious before taking it.
