“The Suppression of Natural Medicine”

The Suppression of Natural Medicine Ellen will discuss the HISTORY OF NATURAL MEDICINE with an emphasis on the ONGOING SUPPRESSION of NATURAL MEDICINE throughout history and ramifications in current day suppression of herbal, energetic and other natural interventions. The Suppression of Natural Medicine is not new, but is deeply rooted in US history. Today this suppression manifests as the FDA and FTC hard-handed regulation about the sales and marketing of natural healing techniques, including herbs, homeopathics and energy medicine. The government states that this over regulation is to support ‘SAFETY.” However, the US spends the most per capita on healthcare and has one of the worst overall health outcomes, so something does not add up. Especially since US Health Care Ranks Last Among Wealthy Nations.
