No, this is not about ahuayasca, kava kava or cacao ceremonies. It is about our death ceremony for legal drugs that plagues our modern advanced society.<\/p>\n

The drug ceremony started as a crude ritual back in the days when doctors started using mercury & arsenic to heal, which gradually took over from herbs and other natural forms of healing. In more recent years, it has been developed into a science. It usually takes from 10 to 15 years. However modern scientific advancements can shorten or lengthen this time to manage their profit margins.<\/p>\n

It starts with one benign aspirin for a simple headache. When the one aspirin will no longer cover up the headache, take two. After a few months, when two aspirin will no longer cover up the headache, you take one of the stronger pain killers.<\/p>\n

By this time, it becomes necessary to take something for the ulcers that have been caused by the aspirin. Now that you are taking two medicines, you have a good start.<\/p>\n

After a few months, these medications will disrupt your digestive and liver function; cholesterol will rise and you can get some statin drugs. Plus probably some antacid medications, which will further disrupt your digestion and nutrient absorption, but it will temporarily decrease your “heartburn”. It will also lower function of your first line of immune defense.<\/p>\n

If a good infection develops, you can take some antibiotics. These may damage your red blood corpuscles and spleen so that you develop anemia. Another medication is then taken to” fix” the anemia. The antibiotics also destroy your Gastro-intestinal \u00a0micro-biome, causing severe gut issues, such as leaky gut syndrome.<\/p>\n

Or, if all your symptoms do not match this syndrome,\u00a0 and especially if you have intolerable pain levels, you may be diagnosed with an auto-immune condition, such as FM, RA, or PMR. A couple of prescriptions can “help” these symptoms. New syndromes\u00a0 or diseases are continually discovered, as more drugs are being developed to treat them.<\/p>\n

All these medications will put such a strain on your kidneys, your blood pressure might rise. It is now time to take some anti-hypertensives, which usually come in tandem with diuretics, and potassium pills to compensate for mineral loss the diuretics cause. When these destroy your natural resistance to disease, you can expect a general flair-up of all your symptoms. Diabetes or pre-diabetes is likely by now, with several drug combos to add to the mix.<\/p>\n

The next step is to cover up all of these symptoms with pain killers and add an anti-depressant, as you will be quite depressed by now. When the kidneys finally give up, you can take another drug, or 2 or 3, \u00a0or start dialysis. Some poisons will build up in your system, but you can keep going quite a while this way.<\/p>\n

By now the drugs will have your body systems so confused, they won’t know what they are supposed to be doing, but it doesn’t really matter. If you have followed every step as directed, you can now start to plan your\u00a0 last Celebration of Life Ceremony!<\/p>\n

The average senior takes 3-10 drugs daily; if in a care home; this will likely increase to 11-15.\u00a0This game is played by practically all Americans, except for the few ignorant souls who follow nature.
