Herbs vs. Pharmaceuticals

So Which Is Better For You?

When comparing the two most of us would agree, herbs are much safer and more digestible, effective and economical.

As an effective treatment for various health conditions, herbs are great alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs.

Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, herbs promote an improvement in overall health when combined with a raw diet and regular exercise.

Safety

Deaths

Safety is the most critical area of review amongst herbs and drugs.

Zero deaths have been reported due to the consumption of herbs. Over-the counter pharmaceutical drugs and doctor-physician prescribed medicines kill approximately one million Americans annually.

Pharmaceutical drug consumption plays a major role in iatrogenics, doctor-physician induced death due to drugs and surgery.

When we consider how many deaths are due to over-the counter and pharmacist/doctor-prescribed pharmaceutical drugs it is ridiculous to try to compare pharmaceutical drugs to natural herbs.

Poisons

Pharmaceutical drugs are harmful because they are made from inorganic compounds that the human body cannot properly absorb or digest. Pharmaceutical drugs lack intelligence and they cannot communicate with the cells of the body. They actually interrupt the cellular communication of the body and are detrimental to people's health.

Pharmaceutical drugs temporarily relieve pain but do not help improve overall health. Anytime a symptom is masked, the body generates more of a disturbance, throwing the body off balance.

Pharmaceutical pills are poisonous which is why the user is instructed to take them in restricted dosages.

Pharmaceutical drugs are made from alkaline substances that are synthetic in nature. Once inside the body, they cause the body to become acidic.

We must remember that the human body is organic and based with carbon and copper. Natural herbs are also organic, carbon and copper-based, and electrical and therefore are 100% compatible with the human organism. The same thing is not true about pharmaceutical drugs.

When an inorganic substance is placed in the human body, the human body becomes physically polluted. The natural vibration of the body becomes altered putting the body at risk of developing a disease.

Herbs that are commonly used are not harmful to the human body. Unlike drugs, herbs can find their way out of the body. Pharmaceutical drugs typically end up lodging themselves in the tissues, creating the need to detoxify the body with an emphasis on tissue cleansing.

While pharmaceutical drugs have many adverse side effects or reactions, natural herbs only have beneficial side effects or reactions.

Digestion

Because pharmaceutical drugs are inorganic and are comprised of oxidic compounds, the human body cannot digest them. And what the body cannot digest, it cannot absorb the nutrients.

More than fifty percent of the drugs people consume are eliminated from the urinary tract via urination while the rest stay lodged in the tissues.

With herbs, the body can easily digest and absorb them, so there is a healing component. Since herbs are food, there is no required dosage.

Effectiveness

A drug cannot heal the human body. A drug can only mask a symptom, but the symptom is not the cause of the disease, it is the effect of the disease. Herbs target the cause of a disease, therefore relieving the symptoms of a disease.

At first, drug companies isolated the major alkaloid from a plant and use it in their drug. The major alkaloid is what gives an herb its major property or function.

Origins

Originally, all of the drugs and their major alkaloids came from herbs. Aspirin was derived from Aspirae or Meadowsweet. Birth Control was derived from Dioscegenin or Wild Yam Root. Morphine was derived from Poppy. Valium was derived Valerian Root. Cocaine was derived from Coca leaf. Codeine was derived from Wild Cherry Bark. Quinine was derived from Magnolia Bark and Dogwood. Menthol was derived from Eucalyptus and Peppermint.

The English word "drug" derives from the root word "drogue", an Old French word meaning "dried plant". So truthfully speaking, the original drug was an herb.

Cost

Herbs are far cheaper and also more readily available than the chemicals used to make pharmaceutical drugs. Plants grow all over the Earth. The knowledge of what is the proper herb for a specific ailment is important when determining how and when to take it.

Without medical insurance, most people would not be able to afford their prescription drugs.

Solutions

A long and healthy life is what everyone longs to have. Natural herbal remedies are more popular than ever. People are turning to new ways to improve their health and to stay healthy everyday. There have been countless studies that show the therapeutic benefits of various herbs and their properties. The research presents strong evidence that taking herbal supplements along with a healthy diet and lifestyle can lead to a long and healthy life.

Conclusion

Pharmaceutical drugs are no comparison to natural herbs. Herbs are much more safer, more effective and cheaper than pharmaceuticals drugs. Although sometimes pharmaceuticals may be necessary  we would encourage you to do your research and consider using Natures Remedies before allowing your doctor-physician to practice on you what they think is health.
