Bad News For Pharma: Healthcare Reform And Preventive Health Approaches Becoming Unstoppable

You won’t yet find it reported on television news channels, but studies confirming the safety and effectiveness of natural preventive health approaches are being published every week. While the mainstream media mostly still prefers to concentrate on pro-pharma propaganda and scare stories about the supposed dangers of vitamins, awareness of nutritional and Cellular Medicine is now global and growing. Illustrating this, studies show that dietary supplements are being used by up to 69 percent of the population in the United States; over 54 percent of elderly women and almost 34 percent of elderly men in Germany; more than 71 percent of pregnant women in Saudi Arabia; and 43 percent of young people in Malaysia. Similar usage patterns can be found in many other countries across the world. Based on the sheer volume of published research that exists, we have reached the point where healthcare reform – inspired by Dr. Rath’s scientific discoveries and studies conducted at the Dr. Rath Research Institute – is becoming unstoppable.

Approaching the tipping point

For anyone who doubts that we are approaching a tipping point in our journey towards a preventive system of healthcare, consider some of the stories we have recently covered in the ‘News & Comment’ section of our website. In the past few weeks alone, studies have shown that vitamin D can help lower the risk of cancer, lower the risk of death in people with heart disease, and prevent heart failure after heart attack. Other recent studies have found that vitamin B12 helps reduce the risk of diabetes, vitamin E may lower the risk of gallstones, and that turmeric extract protects against osteoarthritic pain and inflammation.

Adding further support to the ‘micronutrient synergy’ principle introduced by scientists at the Dr. Rath Research Institute, a review recently published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association found that vitamin D can’t be metabolized without sufficient levels of magnesium and that patients with optimum magnesium levels require less vitamin D supplementation to achieve sufficient vitamin D levels. Perhaps most impressively of all, and as we reported a couple of weeks ago, an approach using a synergistic combination of vitamin C, vitamin B1, and the hormone hydrocortisone is showing truly remarkable results in the treatment of life-threatening sepsis and septic shock.

The signs of change are all around us

Illustrating yet another promising development, consider the fact that, for decades now, most medical schools around the world have taught aspiring doctors shamefully little about nutrition. But as a recent BBC News story reported in the UK, even here there is revolution afoot. Medical students at Bristol University in the UK have founded a website where nutrition science can be shared online and have taken to organizing their own events and lectures on campus. They are openly complaining that what they are being taught in medical school isn’t relevant to the problems they see in GP surgeries, clinics, and hospitals.

And if that isn’t enough to convince you that change is coming, consider the fact that the British Medical Journal (BMJ) recently announced it will launch a new nutrition journal in July 2018. While our Foundation has been highly critical of the BMJ’s inaccurate and defamatory reporting in the past, we congratulate it on finally showing signs of recognizing the importance of the proposals made by Dr. Rath in an open letter to its editor, Fiona Godlee, in January 2007.

Towards our goal of a preventive system of healthcare based on nutritional and Cellular Medicine approaches, it is clearly now no longer a matter of whether the necessary changes will come, but when. Quite simply, whether you are a politician, a doctor, a scientist, a medical student, a patient, young or old, how soon healthcare reform happens is now in the hands of us all.
