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.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION Decades ago, in my teens, my oldest brother and I had a talk where I said, “Can you believe that they’re having another gay pride parade?” He told me that he participated in a gay pride parade. Then we just stared at one another - and because many don’t know how to communicate without language, I will translate: Me: (But you’re not gay) Him: (True, but our struggle is their struggle and theirs is ours) Me: (Hmmm. Now I have to rethink everything because this is my brother whom I love challenging my core beliefs). I was persuaded that day. Today, my brother is long dead but I’m still reposting. That’s called CONVICTION.

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS We deal with systemic racism on all fronts. We mentor; we start programs to protect our kids; we fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces who funnel in the drugs and the guns with impunity then lock up our kids for having (or using) them. And where do kids get guns for drive-bys? (Rhetorical) And do an inordinate amount of crimes occur in Black spaces in Baltimore and Detroit and L.A. as opposed to NY because Black folk in our city have more character and higher morals? (Also rhetorical) It’s because cops are not allowed to pump these things in here! We do have CHILD rape rings here which rival Florida, Texas and possibly even California (California is a dense, big state). We need to fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces! And regarding the white people and the Black folk who worship them who aid systemic racism through complicity, ignorance and arrog...

SO WHERE’S THE UPROAR…?

 So where is the uproar when not one but two Black women world champions bow out from their sport because of the racist media for health reasons?  Their media of course focuses in on the “health reasons“ but we all know the truth!  Did Michael Jordan put a black tape over his mouth to stop speaking to the racist press for health reasons? Did Eddie Murphy only give interviews with Bryant Gumbel because of the racist press for health reasons? When we look at the interviews at the races press conducted with Mohammed Ally, they’re all about how he’s slowing down. No one mentions how our government took three years from him while he was in his boxing Prime! White people, boy! Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.
