Is it possible to keep this system?

in health •  8 years ago 

For many years now--since I learned the truth at 15, in fact--I've called the "health care system" what it actually is: "A chemical-based symptom manipulation engine designed for the profit of corporations."

Being in the pharmaceutical (chemical) industry before, you understand what I mean from a wholly deeper level, as you're probably quite well aware that the vast majority of "synthetic chemicals" we call "medicine" today have originally been found in plants. Of course, if people were told that, they'd eventually come to the conclusion that "Hey! We could just grow the damned plants ourselves, and we wouldn't see so many people going bankrupt just TO NOT DIE!"

I've seen too many people die purely for the enrichment of corporations, governments, and some "famous douchebags" who really couldn't care less about anyone else but themselves.

If I had any say in the matter--and it's become VERY clear to me that I do not, nor will I ever--I'd just set up a greenhouse to grow natural plants, without artificial chemicals, and educate the people about their use. I'd make my money selling the seedlings or seeds, and through the education of the people.

You see, unlike the chemical companies and governments, I understand the very basic business concept that dead customers are not conducive to repeat business. If you actually work to keep them alive, there's at least a 50/50 chance that they'll return in the future. Based on elementary mathematics, 50/50 is far better than a "0% guarantee."

I agree you about everything you 've said, but the main problem i want to highligth is that, at present, this actual system allows these corporations to gain money on disease rather than on healing and that is a serious question which deserves to be solved as soon as possible. If pharmaceutical companies gets profit from disease it's probably impossible to think the companies itself aim to heal the patients as a principle target, they certanly will tend to find out solutions to give a better life to the patients but not the healing at all. Is it true?
