Alternative medicine




Alternative medicine is any of various approaches intended to improve or maintain human health that are not part of standard medical care. Alternative medicine is a term that describes medical treatments that are used instead of traditional (mainstream) therapies.
 
More than half of adults in the United States say they use some form of alternative medicine. The global alternative medicine market was valued at approximately USD 55.2 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to reach over USD 190 Billion by 2026. The pharmaceutical companies are not happy about this.
 

The Big Pharma conspiracy theory is a group of conspiracy theories that claim that the medical community in general and pharmaceutical companies in particular, especially large corporations, operate for sinister purposes and against the public good, and that they allegedly cause and worsen a wide range of diseases.
 
Forbes estimated for the healthcare technology industry is by far the most profitable industry of all, with major and generic pharmaceutical companies leading the way. Apparently Big Pharma sometimes outright owns and largely controls today's most prominent medical journals, text books, and even the regulation of their own industry. Big Pharma officials have filled many current or former positions in the Trump administration. Experts say the industry contributes about two thirds of the FDA’s budget. Big Pharma also uses its profits and an army of 1,378 paid lobbyists to spread its influence on Capitol Hill. Purveyors of a new Coronavirus disease vaccine that big pharma is rushing to develop will have zero liability regardless of it's safety.
 

Renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, blows the lid off this topic He is a four-time New York Times bestselling author and is known for advocating a functional and holistic approach to medicine. He is is on the cutting edge of innovative medicine that looks at all lifestyle influences on health and illness. The empowering part of his story is that you can make changes, today, to dramatically reduce your health risks.
 

His message is not hard to understand. Our biggest health problems are cancer, heart disease, diabetes, respiratory diseases, stress and mental problems. And there has been a steady increase in mortality because of these problems. Dr. Perlmutter has had great success with these problems by making changes in lifestyle and what we eat.
 

There are more non-human cells in our bodies than human cells and they live in the gut (the micro-biome), and they make up most of our immune system. We are starving them by eating factory food and it is killing us. The discovery of the functions and complexity of the human microbionme is fairly recent.
 
Most people are unaware of just how much our food has changed. A few decades ago we were mostly healthy farmers, now we are mostly unhealthy urban dwellers. Less and less of our food is natural and unprocessed. 

Almost all of the food in supermarkets is processed factory food. Though it may be convenient and seem inexpensive, it is loaded with preservatives and many other chemicals that will make you sick, which can be very expensive.
 
The problem is even worse because since WWII well over 40,000 artificial chemicals have been created and released in the environment with only a relative few that have been tested for toxicity to the human biome.

Dr. Perlmutter explains the situation in a way that is easy to comprehend and relates how he has cured a lot of people with alternatives to expensive medications.  He has a YouTube Channel, At drperlmutter.com you will find more info and his blog and books and newsletter and articles, and other resources.
