Summary

What's interesting about Genentech's announcement of its overhyped drug for colon cancer isn't the news itself: it's the terminology used by the industry to describe this class of drugs. They're called "smart-bomb drugs." That's right: smart bombs. Like the kind the United States drops on residential buildings in Iraq.

The use of this terminology reveals the underlying philosophy of Western medicine: the body is a battleground. Drugs are weapons. Diseases are the enemy. To cure the patient, you must destroy the disease using whatever weapons are necessary!

That's the language of Western medicine, and it's completely wrong. The body isn't a battleground, it is a self-healing system. The disease isn't an enemy, it is the inevitable expression of a body that's out of balance. You don't help patients by using "weapons of mass destruction," you help patients by bringing them back into balance (good nutrition, physical exercise, avoidance of all metabolic disruptors, and supplementation with superfoods and medicinal herbs, if needed) and then allowing their own bodies to conduct the healing process.

But Western doctors just want to go in and wipe things out. They slice out tumors with sharp knives. They burn tumors with deadly radiation. They poison the entire patient with toxic chemotherapy. That's not medicine, folks. That's medical insanity.

The true causes of healing simply aren't understood by Western medicine, and certainly not by pharmaceutical companies. The human body already knows how to heal itself. All you have to do is stop poisoning your body (with junk foods, soft drinks and prescription drugs) and start treating yourself right. It's really no more complicated than good nutrition, physical exercise, and stress reduction. Good health is well within your reach.
