“…… Should I use Doctors and Drugs to Heal Me or Spiritual Methods?

"Dear Kryon, I have heard that you should stay natural and not use the science on the planet for healing. It does not honor God to go to a doctor. After all, don't you say that we can heal with our minds? So why should we ever go to a doctor if we can do it ourselves? Not only that, my doctor isn't enlightened, so he has no idea about my innate or my spiritual body needs. What should I do?"

First, Human Being, why do you wish to put so many things in boxes? You continue to want a yes and no answer for complex situations due to your 3D, linear outlook on almost everything. Learn to think out of the 3D box! Look at the heading of this section [above]. It asks which one should you do. It already assumes you can't do both because they seem dichotomous.

Let's use some spiritual logic: Here is a hypothetical answer, "Don't go to a doctor, for you can heal everything with your mind." So now I will ask: How many of you can do that in this room right now? How many readers can do that with efficiency right now? All of you are old souls, but are you really ready to do that? Do you know how? Do you have really good results with it? Can you rid disease and chemical imbalance with your mind right now?

I'm going to give you a truth, whether you choose to see it or not. You're not ready for that! You are not yet prepared to take on the task of full healing using your spiritual tools. Lemurians could do that, because Pleiadians taught them how! It's one of the promises of God, that there'll come a day when your DNA works that efficiently and you will be able to walk away from drug chemistry and the medical industry forever, for you'll have the creator's energy working at 100 percent, something you saw within the great masters who walked the earth.

This will be possible within the ascended earth that you are looking forward to, dear one. Have you seen the news lately? Look out the window. Is that where you are now? We are telling you that the energy is going in that direction, but you are not there yet.

Let those who feel that they can heal themselves begin the process of learning how. Many will be appreciative of the fact that you have some of the gifts for this now. Let the process begin, but don't think for a moment that you have arrived at a place where every health issue can be healed with your own power. You are students of a grand process that eventually will be yours if you wish to begin the quantum process of talking to your cells. Some will be good at this, and some will just be planting the seeds of it.

Now, I would like to tell you how Spirit works and the potentials of what's going to happen in the next few years. We're going to give the doctors of the planet new inventions and new science. These will be major discoveries about the Human body and of the quantum attributes therein.

Look at what has already happened, for some of this science has already been given to you and you are actually using it. Imagine a science that would allow the heart to be transplanted because the one you have is failing. Of course! It's an operation done many times a month on this planet. That information came from the creator, did you realize that? It didn't drop off the shelf of some dark energy library to be used in evil ways.

So, if you need a new heart, Lightworker, should you go to the doctor or create one with your mind? Until you feel comfortable that you can replace your heart with a new one by yourself, then you might consider using the God-given information that is in the hands of the surgeon. For it will save your life, and create a situation where you stay and continue to send your light to the earth! Do you see what we're saying?

You can also alter that which is medicine [drugs] and begin a process that is spectacular in its design, but not very 3D. I challenge you to begin to use what I would call the homeopathic principle with major drugs. If some of you are taking major drugs in order to alter your chemistry so that you can live better and longer, you might feel you have no choice. "Well, this is keeping me alive," you might say. "I don't yet have the ability to do this with my consciousness, so I take the drugs."

In this new energy, there is something else that you can try if you are in this category. Do the following with safety, intelligence, common sense and logic. Here is the challenge: The principle of homeopathy is that an almost invisible tincture of a substance is ingested and is seen by your innate. Innate "sees" what you are trying to do and then adjusts the body's chemistry in response. Therefore, you might say that you are sending the body a "signal for balance." The actual tincture is not large enough to affect anything chemically - yet it works!

The body [innate] sees what you're trying to do and then cooperates. In a sense, you might say the body is healing itself because you were able to give it instructions through the homeopathic substance of what to do. So, why not do it with a major drug? Start reducing the dosage and start talking to your cells, and see what happens. If you're not successful, then stop the reduction. However, to your own amazement, you may often be successful over time.

You might be able to take the dosage that you're used to and cut it to at least a quarter of what it was. It is the homeopathy principle and it allows you to keep the purpose of the drug, but reduce it to a fraction of a common 3D dosage. You're still taking it internally, but now it's also signaling in addition to working chemically. The signal is sent, the body cooperates, and you reduce the chance of side effects.

You can't put things in boxes of yes or no when it comes to the grand system of Spirit. You can instead use spiritual logic and see the things that God has given you on the planet within the inventions and processes. Have an operation, save your life, and stand and say, "Thank you, God, for this and for my being born where these things are possible." It's a complicated subject, is it not? Each of you is so different! You'll know what to do, dear one. Never stress over that decision, because your innate will tell you what is appropriate for you if you're willing to listen. ….”

Study attacks pharmaceutical firms in Brazil

Deutsche Welle, 6 December 2012



A study on the business practices of drug companies Bayer, Baxter and Boehringer Ingelheim in Brazil criticized their pricing and marketing strategies as well as choice of drugs. The companies reject the allegations.

Brazilis known for its contrasts. The emerging market is attractive for international pharmaceutical companies, yet many Brazilians live in poverty and rely on low-cost drugs when they get sick.

To that end, the German non-governmental organization "Federal Coordination of Internationalism" (BUKO) launched a pharmaceutical campaign to investigate business practices of three international pharma companies that have been operating in Brazil for decades: Bayer HealthCare, Baxter and Boehringer Ingelheim.

For the study, which ran from January 2011 to June 2012, the organization examined the companies' products, pricing and marketing. Despite mentioning some positive aspects, the study's authors delivered a negative conclusion, pointing to high prices that blocked access to essential drugs, dubious and, in some cases, even dangerous drugs and misleading marketing practices.

More studies to follow

The Brazilian study, "At the Expense of the Poor," follows an earlier one conducted by the group in 2010 involving the same companies in India. The situation in South Africa will be the focus of a study planned for next year.

Rogério Hoefler questions
how products are marketed
Of the three companies examined in Brazil, Germany's Boehringer Ingelheim was ranked as the one with the "worst" business practices. The report's authors were particularly critical of the company's painkiller "Buscopan Composto."

The drug contains the controversial active ingredient metamizole, which can cause side-effects such as "agranulocytosis." The condition causes a sharp decrease in white blood cells, which are important for the immune system.

Without providing exact figures, the study estimates that about one in 3,000 patients taking metamizole suffers from agranulocytosis.

The drug is prohibited in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Sweden. In 1987, all medications containing it were banned from the German market, and approval to produce it was revoked three years later. But as a single agent, metamizole can still be used in certain clearly defined situations, according to the German Drug Commission.

Ethically questionable marketing

In Brazil, by comparison, "Buscopan Composto" is still available over the counter as tablets or drops. In fact, the painkiller is on the list of drugs recommended by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA), which approves and controls all drugs in the country.

Developing new drugs can cost
billions of euros
"ANVISA is only a little over 10 years old - it's still in its infancy," says Rogério Hoefler from the Brazilian Chamber of Pharmacists, which participated in the study.

The way the product is marketed, Hoefler says, is ethically questionable. He believes companies are taking advantage of weaknesses in the Brazilian health care system. "Even though they know that certain agents are not suited for the market, they sell them as long as the government allows," he points out.

BUKO believes Boehringer Ingelheim continues to sell metamizole for economic gain. Buscopan Composto is one of Brazil's best-selling drugs. It accounted for 11 percent of the company's sales last year.

"The responsible national authority decides whether or not to approve a drug in a country," Boehringer Ingelheim spokesman Michael Kagerbauer told DW. "Boehringer Ingelheim only sells drugs that have a positive benefit-risk assessment – in other words, where the benefits outweigh the risks."

Convinced of safety and effectiveness

The drug is approved in more than 20 countries, including Argentina, Belgium and Spain, according to Kagerbauer.

Bayer HealthCare disagrees with
the study
Members of BUKO's pharmaceutical campaign have maintained a critical dialog with Boehringer Ingelheim for years, arguing that the drug is dangerous and should be removed from the market.

The company disagrees. "We are convinced of the product's safety and effectiveness," said Kagerbauer.

In 1990, Brazil set out to launch a health system aimed at guaranteeing access to free basic medical care for all its citizens. Also, the state-run pharmacies, known as "Farmacias Popular," would either sell critical drugs for less or provide them free of charge.

According to a pharmaceutical study, however, around 40 percent of the drugs to be provided for free are not available in the state pharmacies. These can only be purchased in private pharmacies and at a much higher price.

Only affordable for the wealthy

The state hospitals also lack sufficient personnel and equipment, unlike the private hospitals, which are much better equipped, but also more expensive. Only wealthy Brazilians can afford to purchase private health insurance to complement their state coverage.

Many poor Brazilians can't afford
higher-priced drugs
High drug prices are a central criticism of the study. About one fourth of Baxter's drug assortment in Brazil is in the up-market sector.

Leverkusen-based Bayer HealthCare manufactures "Nexavar," is a highly effective drug to treat liver cancer. In Brazil, a package of 60 tablets costs about 2,940 euros ($3,851) - a price that is prohibitive for even the middle class.

Bayer attributes the high price to research and development costs. But sorabenib, the active ingredient in Nexavar, was developed by a smaller company as contract research, argues the study's authors.

"The assertions and numbers published in the study are false," Bayer spokeswoman Kerstin Crusius told DW. "Nexavar stems from a joint research project in which we collaborated with our partner to explore and develop new drugs to combat cancer. The development of a new drug is a long, complex and risky process that costs more than a billion euros."

Members of BUKO's pharmaceutical campaign are also critical of Bayer's "Supradyn Pré Natal" vitamin supplement. They claim it contains 25 different active ingredients, which, when they interact, can cause unpredictable reactions. And they criticize the products advertising, which involves a television commercial with a mother and her son taking a vitamin tablet together along with eating fast-food.

Abiding by the law

Spokeswoman Crusius maintains that Bayer abides by all rules governing global advertising. "All our marketing activities carried out worldwide are in strict accordance with national standards and laws," she said.

In fact, Bayer HealthCare vehemently criticizes the study conducted by the BUKO pharmaceutical campaign. "The published study," the company said in a statement, "only partly describes our activities while neglecting others, such as our involvement in the area of the chagas disease. And it also contains factual errors."
