ASTUTE OBSERVATIONS! I've been engaged in dialogs re the topic of "disease capitalism"--and/or "sickness maintenance" for at least 40 years. One of the eye-opening books I read in the 70's was by Dr Robert Mendelsohn: "MAL(e)PRACTICE",and Confessions of a Medical Heretic..."It was Dr. Mendelsohn’s book, "Confessions of a Medical Heretic" that captured people’s attention by comparing medicine to religion. Many of the things doctors did or recommended, Mendelsohn said, were not based on evidence or research, but were done because of traditional practices and a desire to maintain the medical hierarchy. In that medical “religion,” he was a heretic—he questioned many of the unquestioned rules."---https://www.llli.org/dr-robert-s-mendelsohn-the-peoples-doctor/

A theft of what is real, to sell you back the fake. Over and over. Quality of life cannot exceed the quality of the air, water, soil and plant life around you. Doctors were trained to make their own medicines from nature until about 1925. Then Pharma started happening. Extractions of constituents, ignorant of the symbiotic interactions of whole plants. One good tidbit- viruses figure out how to evade single element pharma derived medicines but whole plant medicines and foods do not cause drug resistances nearly as much if at all...2 of Buhners books, Herbal Antibiotics and Herbal Antivirals are updated for C19 and good ref. and good reading as well. Best
