Ancestral Medicine Hijacked by Pharmaceutical Companies
đż Ancestral Medicine Hijacked by Pharmaceutical Companies
My title may be somewhat controversial, but in a way, itâs something that canât be denied.
Many call it progress, but if they took the trouble to read the fine print that accompanies pharmaceutical medications on their boxes, they would realize that while they may relieve certain symptoms or cure in some cases, they alwaysâand this is true in 100% of casesâpresent long- or medium-term side effects.
People with chronic illnesses who take medication for life can attest to this.
Iâll give you the example of my mother, who suffers from high blood pressure. She cannot stop taking the medications that regulate her pressure, because the consequences would be very seriousâas they were when she had a stroke.
Her medicines keep her stable, but at the same time, they damage her stomach. So in addition to those pills, she has to take pills for the acidity caused by the other pills.
All for the lesser evil. But what official medicineâscience and laboratoriesâdoesnât tell us is that almost all pharmaceuticals originate from nature. From plants, minerals, and in some cases, even animals.
All the natural remedies for which so many wise women were persecuted, called witches or sorceresses, and many burned at the stake, are now used by pharmaceutical companies that even patent those ancestral human knowledges for their own benefit.
Thereâs a medicine that many of you may know, commercially called âNovalgina,â indicated for flu or feverish states, which is derived from the plant of the same name.
At almost 40 years old, I found out that the Novalgina plant exists and has many more healing properties than the drug could offerâwithout the dangers of side effects.
Of course, Iâm not saying that natural remedies canât cause harm, because as a famous thinker once saidâor at least the phrase is attributed to himââEverything is poison, nothing is poison,â since even something harmless in excess can cause damage if not taken in the right measure.
Thatâs why I believeâand have proven in myselfâthat nature is a good, cheap, and effective option for many ailments, for which doctors only prescribe medications from the big pharmaceutical companies that organize those lovely medical conferences with so many gifts.
If you donât believe me, Iâll share a case I posted recently in a Hive community:

A couple of months ago, I suffered an uncomfortable urinary tract infection that, besides causing pain, kept me from sleeping because I felt the need to go to the bathroom every few hours.
Seeing a doctor wasnât an option, since the wait times easily exceed 3 hours, and I couldnât have waited that long without dying from the urge to go.
I searched online for natural remedies for my symptoms, and the answer was: oregano and cilantro infusions.
Since I had plenty of both herbs in my shopâand as they say, trying doesnât cost anythingâI began my âtreatment.â To my surprise, within a few days the symptoms began to improve, and today I can say Iâm fully recovered, without spending on remedies that would have cost at least 100 times more than the infusions.
Of course, Iâm not advising anyone to abandon their medical treatment, but I would suggest asking your doctor whether natural medicine can be used in your specific case. If there are no contraindications, explore the possibilities that nature offers us. Cheers to health!
đż La medicina ancestral secuestrada por las farmacĂ©uticas
Mi tĂtulo es algo polĂ©mico, pero en cierta forma es algo que no se puede negar.
Muchos lo llaman progreso, pero si se tomaran la molestia de leer las pequeñas letras que acompañan a los medicamentos farmacĂ©uticos en sus cajitas, podrĂĄn darse cuenta que asĂ como puede aliviar ciertos sĂntomas, o curar en ciertos casos, siempre, y esto es en el 100% de los casos, presentan efectos colaterales a largo o mediano plazo.
De esto pueden dar fe las personas con enfermedades crĂłnicas que consumen medicamentos de por vida.
Les doy el ejemplo de mi madre, que sufre de hipertensiĂłn arterial, por lo cual no puede dejar de consumir los medicamentos que regulan la presiĂłn, porque las consecuencias serĂan muy graves. Como lo fue en su momento cuando tuvo un accidente cerebro vascular.
Sus medicinas la mantienen estable, pero a la vez van dañando su estómago, por lo que adicionalmente a esas pastillas, debe consumir pastillas para la acidez que le causan las otras pastillas.
Todo sea por el mal menor. Pero lo que no nos dice la medicina oficial, la de ciencia y laboratorios, es que casi la totalidad de los fĂĄrmacos provienen de la naturaleza. De plantas, minerales y en ciertos casos hasta de animales.
Todos los remedios naturales por los que tantas mujeres sabias sufrieron persecución y fueron llamadas brujas o hechiceras, y muchas quemadas en la hoguera, ahora son utilizados por las farmacéuticas que hasta patentan esos saberes ancestrales de la humanidad en su propio beneficio.
Hay una medicina que tal vez muchos de ustedes conozcan llamada comercialmente "Novalgina", indicada para estados gripales o febriles, que deriva de la planta con el mismo nombre.
A mis casi 40 años me enterĂ© de que la planta de novalgina existe y que posee muchas mĂĄs propiedades curativas que las que el fĂĄrmaco podrĂa ofrecernos, sin los peligros de los efectos secundarios.
Por supuesto con esto no quiero decir que los remedios naturales no puedan dañar, porque como decĂa un famoso pensador, o al menos se le atribuye la frase, "Todo es veneno, nada es veneno", porque hasta algo inofensivo en exceso puede causar daño, si no se toma en la justa medida.
Por eso, creo y he comprobado en mà misma, que la naturaleza es una opción buena, barata y efectiva para muchas dolencias, por las cuales los doctores sólo prescriben medicamentos provenientes de las grandes empresas farmacéuticas que organizan esos lindos congresos médicos en los que hay tantos regalos.
Si no me creen, les contaré un caso que compartà hace poco en una comunidad aquà en Hive.
https://ecency.com/hive-120078/@ladyaryastark/miraculous-cilantro-and-oregano-milagrosos
Hace cuestiĂłn de un par de meses atrĂĄs, sufrĂ una incĂłmoda infecciĂłn de las vĂas urinarias, que aparte de causarme dolor, me impedĂa dormir, porque sentĂa la necesidad de ir al baño cada pocas horas.
Consultar con el médico no era una opción, ya que las esperas superan fåcilmente las 3 horas, y no hubiera podido esperar ese tiempo sin morir de ganas de ir al baño.
ConsultĂ© en lĂnea sobre remedios naturales para los sĂntomas que me aquejaban, y la respuesta fue la siguiente: infusiones de orĂ©gano y cilantro.
Como de ambas especias tenĂa suficiente en el negocio, y como se dice, probar no cuesta nada, empecĂ© mi "tratamiento", para mi sorpresa a los pocos dĂas los sĂntomas iban mejorando, y al dĂa de hoy, puedo decir que estoy efectivamente recuperada, y sin gastar en remedios que mĂnimamente me hubieran costado 100 veces mĂĄs que las infusiones.
Por supuesto no estoy aconsejando a nadie que deje su tratamiento mĂ©dico, pero sĂ les dirĂa que consulten con su doctor si la medicina natural puede ser consumida en su caso especĂfico, y si no hay contraindicaciones, explorar las posibilidades que la naturaleza nos ofrece. Salud!

You are welcome
There's a man not too far from where I live, he has about seven different pills he has to take every day. Five of them are for his ailments, and two are meant to counteract or ease the effects of the other five pills on his body system. And this is something he has to do for the rest of his life.
A little suggestion though (not that you did anything wrongđ)
You could try hiding your links. That is, instead of posting them bare the way you did, you can make it a part of your post. Something like this:
[Write your word here](place the link here)
And then, the word(s) that's in the square bracket becomes a clickable link. Which makes for a smoother reading.
So, just a friendly suggestion.đ
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks for your support and suggestion, I thought that was safer for people see what they are going to click if they want to do it. But maybe you are right and it's better to hide the links, I appreciate your tips for a better blogging đ

You're right that herbal medicines need to be experimented upon and intergrated in a better way with our current medicine system to develop a more holistic understanding
I agree with you, when natural medicine obtain the same effects, they should be included in treatment for the wellness of patients!

Hey Arya! Because of your participation in the CryptoCompany community and your participation in the "Banner for Boost" campaign you received a vote from @CryptoCompany and its trail! Hive a great day!
Comparto tu opinion, normalmente todo producto proveniente de la naturaleza tienen efectos mas saludables que los creados quimica o artificialmente.
Totalmente, y con menos efectos colaterales, y casi gratis!

Un anĂĄlisis muy certero que sin dudas tiene total vigencia.
Amén de los avances concretos de la ciencia, es cierto que la industria farmacéutica aborda un legado cuestionable en gran medida.
Es lamentable cĂłmo dejamos olvidar el uso de la medicina verde que nos legaron nuestros ancestros y permitimos que la ignorancia nos haga sucumbir en ese fenĂłmeno que describes acertadamente.
