Exactly, they are going to price common people out of all of their cures, therapies and treatments, in fact, here in the US, it's already creeping and happening under Obamacare. Let us also not forget Fukushima, the ongoing catastrophe that IS STILL spewing radiation into the pacific ocean. It's completely messed up, stories like this are to cover or distract from a global depopulation agenda that's been in force for years...
The FDA and AMA (Food and Drug administration and American Medical Association have been doing this to Americans for a very long time.
The first thing they did was use propaganda to discredit primitive healing methods.
Then established the AMA and made all other forms of medicine illegal. Now if you want to heal people you have to go to school for 7 years and sell your ideals to the AMA.
Modern research has found that many of the methods of primitive healers to be very effective if not as consistent as modern medicine.
Now that the medical industry was established, they started the FDA to champion the "war on drugs".
During this period they used propaganda to discredit and eventually make illegal a number of restorative naturally occuring plants. I don't think it's fair to make life forms illegal. If you must make life illegal, make it an annoying life form like mosquitoes or spiders, not a plant that has medicinal properties.
Plants like poppy and coca are now illegal. Which means that private citizens may not own or use them. However, much of modern medicine comes from these plants. Poppy is used in the manufacture of a number of powerful painkillers and coca is widely manufactred into a topical analgesic (not just to make cocaine). Essentially they have removed from us the ability to heal ourselves and forcing dependency upon the AMA, a multi billion dollar industry.
Cannabis has been shown to have a wide array of healing properties, and some varieties of the plant have been shown to slow or stop the growth of some kinds of cancer cells. 100 years ago cannabis was used in almost every kind of medicine, tonic, and potion. Cancer affected roughly 1 out of 1000 people. Since cannabis was made illegal Cancer now affects almost 50% of the population at some point in their lives. Mere coincidence? You decide.
Why is it okay for doctors to use these plants but not for us? Is it possible they don't want everyone to be able to heal themselves, they only want people with high incomes to be able to get access to medicine?
Please note that I'm not advocating the use of any drugs, (I personally don't even like to take aspirin or any kind of pill or powder) but I do question the value of restricting access to restorative plants. If you're going to make drugs illegal because of the effect they have on society that's fine, but you should permit people with the knowledge and willingness to heal their own bodies with naturally occuring plants. I call that concept "freedom".
NOTE: I wasn't sure if this should be posted here or in a new topic. While it is on a tangent to the concept of expanding life span and in context with the current discussion it also kind of digresses a bit. Please advise if necessary.
