THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AND OUR CULTURE OF UN-WELLNESS




THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AND OUR CULTURE OF UN-WELLNESS

A hard target would be going after the pharmaceutical industry funding and training their doctors and scientists.

If they had their way, penicillin would’ve been outlawed and they would come up with ways to ‘manage’ syphilis and the like.

There are accredited doctors and scientists who are consistently and ‘legally’ (thanks to pharma lobbying and the enormous funding needed to bring a fully tested treatment to the market) shut down.

And that’s the PG version of what they do. Disease is a multi-billion dollar industry!

And should you come up with a cure, they’re not just gonna roll over and show you their belly!

And when you block the legitimate, it leaves room for the snake-oil salesman.

If I had to do it all over again, I might’ve become a doctor just to get a handle on the underpinnings of disease and health to help out my friends.

But that gets into the R and X rated version of what pharma is prepared to do to protect their systems of treating and managing un-health.

Say what you want about Dr. Sebi, but we need folk like him to help us THINK about the state of our un-wellness.

You know that Will and Jada’s son tried Vegan and got terribly ill, so he stopped.

Our disease culture is such that we have to take an active role in figuring it out for ourselves.

I’ve been a vegetarian for 30 years (the first 30 days of it was HARD) and only recently (past few years) went Vegan.

When I went veggie, my energy went up, my sense of smell improved and I no longer had those hunger pangs we get. There are still plenty of times when I’m eating and only later think, ‘Wow! I guess I was hungry!’

I had a little stomach ponch until I tried the Dr. Natura colon cleanse which worked like a charm!

Not only did it get rid of the ponch but eliminated my incontinence and an occasional pain in my gut; something I’ve struggled with since I was a child which many ‘traditional’ and ‘non-traditional’ doctors could not help.

I couldn’t give up the dairy. But then I went for it and found dairy substitutes and vegan places started popping up like they had in the West Coast.

I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia (a precursor to diabetes, which runs in my family) and would nod off in the middle of the day.

I started drinking Kangen water which eliminated not only that but my need for coffee to ‘stimulate’ my energy during these times.

When we have our own media, we’ll delve into ALL of this.



Be well.

When white folk dump, we can’t get Angry about it

I got angry over a white (almost white) person saying that I’m overreacting. Immediately afterwards, I berated myself, thinking that I should’ve held my cool. But just as we laud those black heroes who articulate the pain rather than express it, we condemn ourselves for feeling what is normal to feel.  Part of colonization says that I have no right to be angry and that my anger is naturally perceived as a threat so it’s in my best interest to hold my tongue. This is not normal. We must break the economic, physical, emotional and spiritual consequences to be true human beings. Otherwise we’re just lying to ourselves. “How dare they get angry over our oppression of them!”

BAN ALL OF THE WHITE GAZE COMMENTS!

BAN ALL OF THE WHITE GAZE COMMENTS! They strain at a gnat yet swallow a camel! Toxic...yet effective! I’ll be gone in January so let me leave a few tips: And if you contend with their banter (right or wrong), the truth of say the Native genocide HORROR gets lost in the sauce. They refuse to lament over the evils of the past and so reflexively, in their denial and dissonance, engage in banter meant to distract. Example: we say that we heard that ‘picnic’ means pick a n**ger to lynch. They’ll quickly chime in that that’s not the word’s etymology. They’re like SNOPES; pretending to be impartial but only (with maybe a few exceptions) chiming in on the negative regarding race. Or they’ll agree with what we’re saying but insist that we label them the exception. NOT YOU, BRADLEY! NOT YOU, VIRGINIA! The HORROR of how they’d accuse an innocent Black man (often a small business owner),  jail them, schedule their public hanging in the paper and have men, women and CHILDREN come out dressed in...

Rigged Legal System

Search words: Rigged Legal System, Gauntlet of oppression, racial profiling throughout  Years ago on jury duty, I was asked to render a ‘fair and impartial’ judgement regarding a young Black man accused of possession on the Upper East Side. There were only two Black people on the jury, myself and another dude. After a very long time, we ended up finding the defendant guilty. That’s the end of the story but not the narrative. The twelve main things I came to realize: 1. Several Black potential jurors were citing a mantra about their unwillingness to participate in a prejudiced judicial system. It was my first time hearing it but should I be called again, I’ll google it and voice my objection in the same way. 2. The suspect was stopped for a broken taillight, but as his wife said when she examined their car at the station, the light was never broken. 3. The white judge, however, ruled that the bust was still legit even though he was clearly stopped for drivin...
