THE LIMITATIONS OF MODERN BIOMEDICINE
( ALLOPATHY)
1. LARGELY FOCUSED ON PHYSICAL ASPECTS IGNORING THE
ONTOLOGICAL ASPECTS.
2. TRAPPED IN THE CARTESIAN–NEWTONIAN PHYSICAL
WORLDVIEW OF THE UNIVERSE.
3. CREATED A BARRIER BETWEEN NATURE AND THE HUMAN
LIFE FORM.
4. RELIED ON PHYSICALLY MEASURABLE SCIENCE THUS
IGNORING THE NON-MEASURABLE ASPECTS SUCH AS MIND
AND ENERGY ASPECTS.
5. TRAPPED IN THE “DOCTRINE OF SIGNATURES” IN
PHARMACOLOGY AND DRUG THERAPY.
6. IT IS UNABLE TO SOLVE HEALTH PROBLEMS WHICH ARE
MIND CENTERED SUCH AS DIABETES, CARDIOVASCULAR
DISORDERS, OBESITY, STRESS ETC.
7. THE REMEDIES ARE CHEMICAL, POISONOUS IN NATURE
AND HAS IATROGENIC MORBIDITY.

THE PARADOX OF MEDICAL DRUG COMPANIES’ CONTROLLED R & D
“ THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT CLOSELY WORKING WITH THE DRUG MULTINATIONALS WHOSE
MAIN OBJECTIVE IS PROFIT, AND WHOSE WORST NIGHTMARE WOULD BE AN EPIDEMIC OF GOOD
HEALTH. LOTS OF DRUGS MUST BE SOLD. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THIS, ANYTHING GOES; LIES, FRAUD AND KICKBACKS.
DOCTORS ARE PRINCIPLE SALES PEOPLE OF THE DRUG COMPANIES (INDIRECTLY). THEY ARE REWARDED WITH
RESEARCH GRANTS, GIFTS, AND LAVISH PERKS. THE PRINCIPLE BUYERS ARE THE PUBLIC - FROM INFANTS TO THE
ELDERLY - WHO MUST BE THOROUGHLY MEDICATED AND VACCINATED .. AT ANY COST! WHY DO THE AUTHORITIES FORBID
ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE? BECAUSE THEY ARE SERVING THE INDUSTRY, AND THE INDUSTRY CANNOT
MAKE MONEY WITH HERBS, VITAMINS AND FOOD SUPPLEMENTS. THEY CANNOT PATENT NATURAL MEDICINE.
THEY CONTROL MEDICINE AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE ABLE TO TELL MEDICAL SCHOOLS WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT
TEACH “

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, LIFE STYLE AND HABITS,
MENTAL AND PHYSICAL STRESS, AGE, PHYSICAL
AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT, SUPPORTED BY
NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE, ONTOLOGICAL
THERAPIES, NON-INVASIVE MANIPULATIVE

The fact that vitamin C stabilizes the walls of
arteries, for example, has been known for
200 years, ever since James Lind
uncovered vitamin C deficiency as the cause
of blood loss and scurvy. Any head of a
pharmaceutical company, any Ph.D. or M.D.
who denies knowing this fact is simply
incredulous.

The collapse of a multi-billion dollar market of prescription
drugs. Moreover, throughout this century, the pharmaceutical
companies knew that an optimum vitamin supply of the
population would lead to the vitamins are not patentable and the
profit margins are low.

This new health care system is based on an
improved knowledge and participation by millions
of people. Basic health has become
understandable, doable and affordable for
everyone.
02/23/23 75
The new health care system focuses on
primary health care, prevention and
eradication of diseases. Health consultants
and health centers will replace many medical
hightech centers of today. Every health food
store is the beginning for a community health
center.
