Are The Ancient Healing Ways Still Valid?
There is a balance between industries and common every day folks across all walks and aspects of life. There is no doubt about it, big corporations have become very powerful. They have developed influence in the political arena as part of their power structures.
Therefore in one camp is the power of the mechanists, those who manufacture drugs in laboratories. Perhaps, as some rumours would have it, they work a bit too closely with government agencies. These agencies should be non-biased, but it appears that they may be compromised. With such power, these companies, can spend huge amounts of money on research and get things approved that some may argue should not be approved. To make up for these research costs, they overcharge consumers with outrageious prices. They always seem to rack up major profits.
However, the natural remedies, much to the chagrin of such powerful industries, persist. How could that be? As a matter of fact, these powerful companies often make their medicinals from concentrated, synthetic copies of chemicals that naturally exist in nature.
So, therefore, regular remedies that grow in the forest, desert or perhaps even in one’s backyard can’t get the stamp of approval from this unnamed government agency, as a substance that is proven to have this or that effect on health. It’s rather funny when you think about it. But then, nature was there before any government and nature will be there after. Interesting isn’t it? Nature doesn’t seem to require government approval.
The tighter the grip becomes the more slips through the fingers. The balance of power is definitely too far to one side. Yet, what is happening on the other side? Old books, alternative healers, folk wisdome, old remedies, oral traditions are all still there,even if they have been forced underground. But they must emerge. As the current greedy power structure gets more greedy, more people will be forced to turn to alternatives, simply because they cannot afford what has been forced upon them any longer. Today, the cost of treatment is growing beyond the capabilites of the average person.
On the other hand, there are folks who plain don’t realy care about the current power structure, they just plain believe in the old and natural way of doing things. Some are extremely well versed in these natural methods. They follow that way because it just makes sense to them!
