When it comes to the number of Americans on medications offered by Big Pharma, it’s staggering. People are beginning to demand alternative options and more choices when it comes to their own health, and that could lead to incredible innovative solutions to the problem of Big Pharma.
Many people used to tell those who looked for more natural and holistic remedies for their conditions that they were crazy and should just trust Big Pharma. Yet the tides are turning, as most know the pharmaceutical companies are interested in doping people up and controlling symptoms instead of curing ailments. They are also borderline cruel with the prices they charge.

Not-So-Shocking Poll: Americans Hate The Government Almost As Much As They Hate Big Pharma
According to Healthline, the term “alternative medicine” is out, and “integrative medicine” is in.
Patients are simply demanding more options. People want to choose how they take care of their health and increasing numbers are viewing prescription drugs for every minor thing as more harmful than good.
In the past few years, many doctors and conventional healthcare institutions in the United States have shown a new acceptance of treatments and philosophies that historically have not been part of mainstream medicine.
Proponents explain that integrative medicine addresses the full range of a patient’s physical, emotional, spiritual, and environmental influences. It also deploys therapies that extend beyond the surgeries and drugs that have historically defined the American medical establishment.
In 1994, Dr. Andrew Weil, the Harvard-educated physician, author, lecturer, and internationally recognized pioneer of integrative and holistic health, founded the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.
This was years before most people had even heard of integrative medicine.
“Patients are dissatisfied with the small amount of time they get with their doctors and with doctors who prescribe a pill for every ill,” Weil said. “The integrative medicine movement is not a rejection of conventional methods. But patients are saying that the conventional model is not working, that it’s broken. And they are right.” –Healthline
As people continue to turn their backs on the medical establishment that is keeping them sick and dependent on their drugs, more and more are willing to look into alternatives, such as the decriminalization of marijuana and psychedelics. Actually, there’s a “shroom boom” going on right now, and it could lead to immense progress when it comes to the treatment of alcohol and tobacco additions and depression. More research is needed, of course, but as regulations on some previously banned substances are loosened, more studies on the efficacy of those substances can be completed.
If things continue the way they have been, and more turn from the addictive and harmful substances often pushed by Big Pharma, we may actually see a rebound in our overall health.
Music can heal. I have witnessed it and experienced it. When caring for a relative in the hospital in 1998, playing Chopin reduced his heart rate and raised oxygen levels. Music is also extremely important for cognitive developement in the first stages of life, and throughout life.
The worst place to recover from any illness is in a hospital. It is the most inhospitable environment other than a prison. Elctronic harrassment with constant alarms and beepers and monitoring machines is a tremendously stress inducing and cortisolmproducing environment which inhibits the healing process.
It is a cold, impersonal, inhumane, unhealthy environment to be in.

Trump is going full fascist, since he is in so much political and economic trouble, prodding governors to use the military police, even though all states have National Guards, using strange language that governors have the responsiblity to prevent people from crossing state lines with the intentionn of inciting violence, as if they got the ok from the governors, as if they would ask permission!
Inciting violence is a federal crime whether state lines are crossed or not. I have never heard that bizaare language, and it is extremely fascist. Not that I condone violence, but that I disapprove of the notion that governors or police are supposed to know the intentions and where abouts and destinations of every state resident.
You blew it Trump! Admit it! The math proves it! You bailed out billionaires and financial fraud schemes! Billionaires scammed
$329 billion, over $6.5 trillion was spent on bail outs, there are 40 million new unemployment claims, and every citizen could have had a check for $20,000.
You are just a typical politician.
Go home!

It won’t replace big pharma but might redirect it to cures instead of the continual revenue generating treatments.
Alternative med has two aspects. First is simply eating right, exercising, and maintaining your health. The second are the suppliments and other small adjustments.
The common error is to have chronic medication, either mainline or alternative. If you have to take something, you should fix the underlying problem to the extent possible.
Instead it is more like Bulemia where someone loves to overeat, but to avoid obesity, throws it all up. Regurgitation is not the treatment or the cure, the problem is overeating in the first place.
Trump postponed the G7 meeting that was initially scheduled for June 10 till the end of June, and now rescduled till possibly till the end of September because he believes that it is a very outdated group of countries. Trump would like to invite India South Korea and Russia, but has not stated whoch three countries he believes are outdated and wishes to remove from the G7. Angela Merkel will not attend because of the coronavirus, so that could go on for God only knows how long.
Maybe Russia, India, and South Korea will be too worried about the coronavirus too, because the agenda is going to be how to
“deal with China.”
Maybe Guam, Malta, The Isle of Man, Vatican City, Bermuda, and St. Thomas will be up to date enough to attend the
TWO ( Trump World Order ) G7.
I has taken 80 years for the public to even take a look at the medical benefits of cannabis because the government propaganda is so powerful. I am still surrounded by people (older), who still believe marijuana is a life destroying, deadly drug. Those same people love their Dr.s and religiously take their meds. It will be many years before natural cures will be widely accepted because media will continue to brainwash the public to protect their billions of dollars advertising revenue from DRUG companies. And they say “just say no to DRUGS” as they have their new prescriptions filled, (as if prescription meds aren’t DRUGS.)

I think that either kind of medicine is partly a trial by endurance, which comes with it’s own set of side effects.
