Interestingly,
people who sell ineffective drugs are generally said to have made "honest mistakes." If a street dealer sold you an ineffective drug, you could take five of your friends and go back and have a brisk conversation with him. If a behind-the-counter dealer sold you an ineffective drug, you'd have to hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit and maybe, maybe, 10 years later you'd get some money, although probably you'd be dead by then.
Street dealers don't have patents on their drugs, which means that they'll always have plenty of competition. Drug companies do have patents, so they can set their prices without worrying about market economics. And when their patents run out, they can put out a drug with a slightly different formulation, promote it like mad and sell new drug in a monopolistic setting {With government mandated market support in order to manage ‘money-trees’ while building bureaucracy.}. You have to wonder when street dealers are going to come up with Cocaine XR or LSD Reditabs.
Since street dealer works in a competitive atmosphere, he has to keep his prices relatively low. In order to increase his profitability, he can "step on" his product, that is, dilute it. It would be unwise for a drug company to adulterate its product, but since it owns a monopoly, it can set prices artificially high and achieve same profitability levels. A street dealer who knowingly poisons his clientele is called "the scum of earth." A drug corporation that knowingly poisons its clientele is called "a tobacco company." People who sell illegal drugs often rot in jail for 20 or 30 years. People who sell legal drugs are often forced to attend tedious daylong board meetings. People who take illegal drugs are called "losers." People who take legal drugs are called "everyone in America."
Glad I'm not an archaeologist in 4040; my brain would ache a whole lot.
One pill makes you larger, and one pill puts you in jail, and please do not operate heavy machinery with ones that mother gives you. {My ex-roommate was being told to apply for his old job as a forklift truck operator while being given drugs for Schizophrenia which he did not have. He was no liar and could not expose a potential employer to insurance risks or his fellow employees to life threat this would entail. Many drugs people use are impairing their driving prowess and there are laws to take away their license that go unenforced.} Driving that train, high on ethyl 4-1-piperidinecarboxylate, just like Et and ungreatful dead.”
Homeopathy:
It is a wonderful thing to have Joy of Learning and to make a career that you find is related to your studies. There are so many ways to get a Doctor label and thus claim expertise in many fields and disciplines which we have broken knowledge into. Some of this is counter to real expertise and much of it just sets people apart from knowledge and each other. But people are also being segmented into classes within hierarchy of government backed by and for elites in all so many ways. Medicine has been one of their more dastardly tools alongside religion and so-called education system. This next little factoid reminds me of how Edward Gibbon almost died because British Medical system would not approve vaccinations through use of scabs as had been done by likes of Paracelsus or others in antiquity and which was approved in France of his era. Did Gibbon’s Jacobin Masons use this among their members since time of Moses Maimonides or earlier alchemists?
“When Cholera epidemic reached England, it provided another opportunity to compare homeopathic treatment with conventional methods of day. Regular allopathic medicine yielded a mortality rate of 59 percent compared to only 16 percent for Homeopaths. (2) When these statistics were collected, information was so startling that a medical commission was sent to London Homeopathic Hospital to check records. Though data were duly verified, it was decided not to make them public, and facts were not released until a hundred years later.” (3)
The formation of a political machine such as American Medical Association who helped bring FDA into control is a major issue against alternative healing or real care for people. In late 19th Century as these issues were becoming apparent there were many who knew that allopaths or medical doctors selling laudanum and like were actually ‘Killing-trade’. There are signs that stress management (don’t fret – sweat or exercise) and connectiveness to ‘all’ around us are again making a play to be considered in health maintenance. Vitamins and supplements are able to prove to even most duped person receiving medical care that they work and yet some doctor’s groups and governments that back them still disqualify doctors who advise their usage.
The whole area of academics is subject to a ‘Knowledge Filter’ (Berkeley Law Professor – Johnson) or Literary Theory (UBC English Professor Graham Good) and outright suppression of creative or thoughtful and meaningful potentials. (4) I think concept of Bucky Fuller that he called 'the observer of observed' and his more detailed 'creative realization' is part of what we operates as we ‘project’ upon reality. For example things (!) we see are actually a mixture of fields of energy from dross and less excited to highly excited or vibrational energy inside atomic structures. In one way of visualizing this we could SEE something including an aura which is field of energy not usually visible but associated with solar body and integrative centers called chakras. Perhaps we could contemplate a time when all people had ability to see or sense auras and yet by our socially normed 'projections' that include telling our children certain things do not exist, we have lost conscious integration or incorporation of these fields of reality.
