Sunglasses, They Make You Look Great!

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.

In ancient terms it is the tension and conflict that exists between the mechanists and the vitalists. Perhaps now the mechanists have become a bit too powerful. Some speculate that they have control even over government agencies that are designed to regulate such things.  With such power, even questionable things can be officially ‘approved’. But is the research all that solid in the end?

Yet, the natural remedies that currently exist have no such champion with big purse strings. In fact, many of the big prescription drug remedies are nothing more than concentrated, synthetic copies of compounds that naturally exist in nature.

As you can imagine, the natural remedies that live and grow in nature, in our forests, jungles, deserts and even in our own backyards, have trouble being recognized or even discussed by certain government agencies.  It could be argued that our government has an obligation to study and validate natural ways of healing to save us health care dollars.  Mother nature existed long before our current human power structure evolved and will be here long after it is gone.  She never needed human kind’s or government’s approval in the first place. On the other hand, humans and even governments need mother nature.  We are on a tiny planet in a vast universe. Mother nature is all that, and we, as humans, are puny in comparison.

But we spoke of a balance a few moments ago. The power definitely seems to rest on one side of the equation. But what is happening on the other side? Alternative healers, old books, herbal remedies and folk wisdom passed down through the ages are still out there and from them, many people learn to apply natural healing methods (that don’t have that big stamp of approval from an authoritarian agency) to solve their health problems. Because the costs of getting ‘official’ treatment and officially approved prescription meds now make the cost of getting said treatment beyond the reach of many.

For some people who care naught for all this nonsense about power structures, never have and never will, they only know that they have simple things that work, don’t stress the body with strong side effects, and don’t cost anything to speak of. If you are not a ‘person of means’, which path would you choose?
