Why I question (don't trust) big pharmaceutical companies.

When don't I believe the drug companies and health care industry are the solution be fighting most diseases? First a little background on why I think this way.

Before the summer of 1999 I had no idea how much our lives would change.   That May Barb went to her OB-GYN for her yearly exam.  During this exam the Dr. found one of Barb's ovaries was enlarged.  Little did we know that this would begin our journey in taking better care of our health.  The OBG-GYN recommended we go see a Dr. at Barnes asap.  We went to see Dr. Mutch and he told us that, yes it probably was Cancer, but we wouldn't be sure until after she had surgery.

Within a few weeks we were at Barnes Hospital where Barb had surgery to find out what was going on with that Ovary.  I still remember my first thought when Dr. Mutch came out to tell me that is was Stage 3C (It had already spread to her cervix and some lymph nodes.) Ovarian Cancer.  that we aren't going to have any more children.   Thankfully we had already been blessed with our Daughter.

After getting a good cry in, my mind already began to think about how we can fight this beast. My brother-in-law and I went down to the main level looking for info about Ovarian Cancer at Barnes.  If you want to defeat an opponent it helps to find out as much as you can about them. I found out at that time they had already identified 37 different types of Ovarian Cancer.

Being a research addict I started looking for information on the internet too.  One of the first sites I found was Dr. Mercola's. Dr. Mercola's site    I also read Lance Armstrongs book, Its Not About the Bike.  This was when I began to realize how important nutrition was going to become to beat Ovarian Cancer.

I asked how important nutrition is during one of our next visits with Dr. Mutch.  His response back then was not very.  This is when I knew he hadn't been taught how important it is.  We figured out that we would have to educate ourselves on this topic. 

Bit by bit since 1999 we have added things like Turmeric, Ginger, Aloe Vera Juice, Vitamin D, Chlorella, Apple Cider Vinegar,  Pro-biotics, Macha Tea, Vitamin C to our diets.

Medical journals and pharmaceutical companies: uneasy bedfellows

The cost to global health of drug company profits

Is the NIH in bed with the drug companies?

In 2006, the University of Michigan had done a study that showed Ginger killed Ovarian Cancer Cells.  Ginger causes ovarian cancer cells to die, U-M researchers find
As far as I know, no follow up studies have been done on Ginger and Ovarian Cancer.

What if Cancer is tied to fungus?  The medical field doesn't study fungus's and their affect on our health much.  Read KNOW THE CAUSE if you want to find out more about this topic. https://knowthecause.com/

Just these two topics helped me realize there will never be one cure/silver bullet to cure Cancer. The drug companies want you to believe their drugs are the solution.

The most important part of any exercise program in the assessment.
