At an evening out with my wife last week, I was reminded of the typical mindset out in the world. "Naturopathic, that's not scientific, medical doctors - that's real science..." This was the comment that grabbed my attention. If this individual only knew, that 85% of ALL medical intervention is COMPLETELY unfound. This is reported by the BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL - "...only about 15% of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence..." If that's not a wake up call for you, keep reading!
Science Daily recently reported on a NEW male oral contraceptive medicine. How does it work? It down regulates Vit A receptors. Remember learning about meiosis and mitosis in high school biology? Mitosis is the process of cellular division, and so is meiosis. Meiosis is a special type of cell division needed for sexual reproduction - producing gametes (sperm and eggs for the male and female respectively). Vit A is very important for your eyes...but it is also used as a key component in cell division. So logically, stopping the receptors for Vit A makes sense. Stop the Vit A receptors, then meiosis CANNOT happen. No meiosis, no sperm. But what about mitosis??? HELLO? does anyone else see any issues here? YOU NEED VIT A!!!! WHY WOULD YOU EVER STOP THE RECEPTORS IN YOUR BODY FROM RECEIVING IT??? The very definition of a vitamin is an organic compound that is a REQUIRED nutrient by the body, that it cannot produce itself. Why then would you stop your body from getting it?
I must be missing something...but living a healthy natural lifestyle, and getting coached on how to do that - that's bad science. Taking drugs that your MD gives you - that's "good" science (even though only 15% of medical intervention is supported by science). And just so you know...over 70% of all doctors visits results in a prescription (that one's from CDC). But hey - good science.
We always get sick, because we have too many body parts, and a lack of chemical drugs in our system... ;) Now THAT'S bad science, bad logic, and the prevailing paradigm out there.
Wake up and smell the fresh veggie juice people!
