Ep.80 The Medicine Cabinet and the Pharmaceutical Industry
One day when Dr. McCollum asked his patient if he was on any medication, he said, “We don’t have medicine cabinets in Germany! I am really blown away because when I moved into this country, every bathroom I go into has a box on the wall that opens up with shelves in it and has a mirror on the front. I don’t know what this is. So you buy this cabinet, and you fill it up with medicine?”
It is funny, bizarre, sad, and true all at the same time when we realize our conditioning that tells us we must take pharmaceutical drugs as our first go-to for treatment. After all, that’s why we have a cabinet for them, right? In a subtle but effective way, the ‘medicine cabinet’ suggests that pharmaceuticals are the best and only option to treat any type of problem.
We take for granted that our houses come equipped with a cabinet designed solely for our pharmaceutical drugs, which are made of oil and natural gas-based petrochemicals. And with Americans taking over 75% of all the pharmaceuticals manufactured worldwide, you’d think we ought to be a lot healthier as a nation. But the numbers don’t add up, since we are actually rated 47th in the world for health.
So what’s really going on here? Are pharmaceutical drugs really making us healthier? Learn all about this and more in today’s episode of McCollum Wellness Radio.
