World is at halt, we all are so updated with news that I don’t need to put emphasize on how alarming is this situation. I don’t. Today we grasping and absorbing so much information which is leading to a different perspective and genre we never discovered. Coming from an Indian community our generations is so well managed by our ancestors and previous generations basically ‘generation X’ and ‘generation jones’ has always been able to manage health services because of little knowledge and experience they hold. I mean no wonder we didn’t have corporate health centers and wellness centers then. I believe one can imagine the reason behind it is because lack of cartelization of chemical. See my point is, whenever our fathers or mothers or uncles or aunts or grandmothers got sick and ill they didn’t have thousands of medicines and cure to treat them. They usually preferred home remedies, I am sure you’d agree on this. Even today in times of COVID when we are looking after ourselves in aspect of health our ancestors and guardians make sure we get best health treatments at home with their ‘home-remedies’ why so? Is it because they refrain from chemically exposing us? or because they want to practice their way of treating or improving our immunity. After the world wars, farmers already were starving not only farmers actually every other individual. Wars has shifted their focus to petroleum, machinery and ‘health’ industry. And it had created a huge impact on agriculture. And if you’re curious I’ll more than pleased to let you know how. Post war soldiers were not only lacking guns, rifles, shells, bullets' or missiles but most importantly they were lacking source of immunity i.e. ‘food’ it was another war they were striving to overcome.

Economic and disruptions to food supply can be disastrous in low income countries also it was believed that indirect costs of war was highly grater than straightforward direct costs. Now to battle these indirect costs of war like food scarcity and farming issues government agencies and corporate entities colluded to form a revolution which was going to control humanity. Green revolution was introduced in late 1960s where more emphasis was to chemical pesticides and chemical bound sprays. So how did it help the farmers? Especially low income countries were facing drought and loads of agriculture complications. Green revolution encouraged mechanization and new methods where as the practice which farmers were doing for years to manufacture crops were declared obsolete and reason behind food shortage. Green revolution practiced ‘sophisticated’ techniques of spraying chemicals like nitrogen phosphorus on agricultural land to produce vegetation which will never prove to be the reason of food scarcity. Basically these vegetations were so prone to chemical substances that we barely got any nutrients from vegetables we consume. This is a whole vicious cycle to be precise since we are not consuming authentic nutrition rich food grains our system was dominated by chemicals that our system is fighting a war in itself for abolishing these chemicals and to enrich ourselves with immunity.

See the thing is these chemicals are are antibiotics which we are going to consume either way. It’s not new to believe that when we are consuming chemicals on daily basis we are unknowingly inviting diseases and illness. Cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis, etc. And to cure them again entities have been manufacturing thousands of medicines and pills which is ultimately going to create side effects on patients who are fighting for the very reason i.e. ‘ against the usage of chemicals’ .

This vicious cycle is going to heavily attract an obstacle for immunity in each individuals.

Chemical cartelization has been in picture for decades together also impacting health situation in whole world. As I said coming from Indian community means we are so acquired to home remedies that it has become a psychology of individuals that these corporate wellness centers are no good, we must have observed always hesitating to take medicines or pills because

it has become a psychology that we can treat ourselves even when we are home. And it’s true to some extent. Doing yoga, pranayama, exercises at your home at your own space can definitely help you build yourself and help you somehow to have good impact on your immunity system. Home remedies are helpful and beneficial to some extent but again we are no doctors we no experts or professionals we MUST visit our doctors if the density of illness or disease is severe, or even if we are not quite sure about illness or symptoms we are facing. My point of this blog was not demeaning our brilliant and efficient doctors but rather putting beacon of light on how chemical cartelization has changed our whole existence how we are part of this cycle and how we were not minding what was happening to our immunity. Becoming self aware is what I preach.

This blog was written under the inspiration of Dr. Zach Busch he MD and founder of seraphic group. Seraphic group is an innovative organization who focuses on root cause of solutions to human and ecological health. And I would urge you to enlighten yourself with hid work and knowledge through his interview with ‘Afterskool’, https://youtu.be/Aw16LPVnNco.
