DID YOU KNOW?
In the United States of America, Medicinal Herbs are sold as “dietary supplements.” This is a legislative anomaly unique to the USA – In all other parts of the world, medicinal plants are regulated and sold as Medicine.
SYNTHETIC VS. NATURAL
The notion that herbal medicines are less effective than their synthetic counterparts is an all too common misconception. In fact, the reverse is true.
Here’s how: Pharmaceutical drugs are synthetic isolates of the therapeutic constituents found in medicinal plants. Once a medicinal compound is discovered within a plant, scientists are then paid to synthesize a modified version of it (from petroleum), so that it can be patented and sold as a pharmaceutical drug. It is this unnatural manufacturing process that explains why synthetic drugs are more toxic and often less effective than the naturally occurring plant-based medicines.
Case in Point 1: A cross-comparative study showed that the natural medicine, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, treated nerve pain in patients with diabetic neuropathy more effectively than the synthetic drug known as Gabapentin – without any of the side effects of Gabapentin. 55% of the patients who found relief with alpha-lipoic developed nerve pain when they switched to Gabapentin.
Case in Point 2: A cross-comparative study showed that the herbal medicine known as “Velvet Bean” provided faster and longer relief for patients with Parkinson’s disease than the synthetic drug L-dopa – without the impairment in motor function commonly caused by L-dopa.
REAL WORLD RESULTS
To cure human disease, medicinal plants have been a major source of therapeutic agents since ancient times. The revival of interest in natural drugs has spiked in the last decade, mainly because people have realized that natural medicine is healthier than synthetic product.
OFTEN IMITATED - NEVER DUPLICATED
Mother Nature knows best. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, herbal medicines are not limited to a single chemical. Herbal medicines contain a cooperative matrix of vital co-factors, catalysts, and synergistic compounds that combine to potentiate their healing power. This wide array of therapeutic constituents work together to increase the herb’s versatility to treat and cure a wide variety of conditions. Because Mother Nature is perfectly formulated by the creative forces of God, scientific evidence shows that medicinal plants are effective in treating and curing disease– without the harmful effects of modern man’s synthetic drugs; which is why Herbalists insist on maintaining rather than distorting Mother Nature.
PLANTS ARE DRUGS
The Truth is – there is no doubting the medicinal properties of plants. Common observation tells us the most powerful drugs on the planet are either plants or come from plants. Today, there are at least 120 distinct pharmaceutical drugs currently in use in one or more countries around the world that are derived from plants.
HEROINE, MORPHINE, CODEINE ARE ALL
DERIVED FROM THE OPIUM POPPY PLANT
"ECSTASY" IS DERIVED FROM THE
ROOTS OF THE SASSAFRAS TREE
EPHEDRINE AND ADDERALL ARE
DERIVED FROM THE EPHEDRA PLANT
COCAINE IS EXTRACTED FROM
THE LEAVES OF THE COCA PLANT
VIAGRA IS A SYNTHETIC IMITATION OF THE CHEMICAL
"ICARIIN" IN THE "HORNY GOAT WEED" PLANT
THE DRUG "MARINOL" IS A SYNTHETIC IMITATION
OF THE CHEMICAL "THC" IN MARIJUANA
MANY IMPORTANT DRUGS FOR MALARIA ARE DERIVED
FROM THE QINGHAO PLANT AND THE CINCHONA TREE
ASPIRIN IS A SYNTHETIC IMITATION OF THE CHEMICAL
"SALICIN" IN THE BARK OF THE "WHITE WILLOW" TREE
SO WHY DO PEOPLE STILL RELY ON SYNTHETICS?
THE CATCH IS – BIG PHARMA WANTS TO KEEP YOU DEPENDENT UPON THE SYNTHETIC COUNTERPARTS THEY DERIVE FROM PLANTS, RATHER THAN THE PLANTS THEMSELVES – FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT CORPORATIONS CANNOT PATENT WHAT IS FOUND IN NATURE.
