Is nature powerful enough to cure diseases?
I saw a tweet about a research that says Dandelion root kills over 90% of colon cancer cells, and this was scientifically proven in a lab, and then the answers have been published.
The fact that this is a known truth now, still doesn't mean everyone will try.
Those without means to internet research will not, doctors at the hospital will still recommend standard chemo drugs or colon removal, even though this is proven.
Why?
In reality, the creator who carefully designed nature was and has always been wise, a lot of answers are there, but we're not asking the questions yet.
Take a look at life for instance; everything you see is strategically place, maybe it's a shrubs, a tree, weather, snow, heat, ice, the state of the atmospheric conditions, wild trees, animals and so many other things we don't have answers to yet.
Some races are already ahead of time, others are still crawling
The Chinese for example are already ahead of time this isn't even talking about technology but about natural remedy, the research for answers found in simple places, the easiest and cheapest solutions that aren't heavily commercialized by big pharmaceutical industries, but like I said always.
I think there are simplest of answers in places that nobody looks, but the places that are currently scientifically proven (which I think aren't the only places) are heavily commercialized.
This is why.
I think research is expensive, sometimes millions of dollars are thrown into research and sometimes these research fails, and millions of dollars are lost.
I understand that sometimes industries can fail with the research and this is just the reality of things, but this doesn't take away the fact that a lot of research industries are hiding cures and treatments for a lot of ailments.
This comes from a place of greed, and this is what I feel. In 2026, cancer should no longer be as expensive to cure. There are already scientifically proven combinations of tablets that kills cancer cells, and this is the same for natural remedies, but then no one will choose to go for cheaper options if these options gets scientifically patented.
I think we all understand the problem, the issue is mostly about patent and proof and when this finally happens then this makes medicine not only cheaper but universally affordable.
Now this doesn't mean natural medicine will replace machinery. The idea is that medicine is currently very expensive because the research industries are holding the patent for what solution cures what, in what doses it can, and for how long people can take it.
Nature is there to be figured out, and the price has always been "who wants to spend money, time and effort doing the needed research that makes a natural remedy safe for consumption and this is where the coordination of these giant research industries comes in.
So the question remains, "will they ever make it cheaper and affordable for others?" No. Definitely not.
This is where small research group comes in.
The world was ruled and controlled by big research pharmaceutical industries in the 1980s, but today, smaller groups have scaled in their research for what natural remedy can heal some of the modern diseases we currently have, and perhaps by 2045 a lot of these research will scale and people will get access to cheaper and better cure that are already tested in the labs.
Conclusion
Currently we have remedies that are untested, though they work but the bulk of a how they work and the degree they can be used in order for this to be proven is the problem.
In the world currently, there are human subjects who are in labs and places being used to determine cures and all that, unfortunately these process comes with crazy challenges.
This is why I think natural remedies as are still untested waters, but I believe people in the future, let's say 2070 are definitely going to figure it out. I believe that there's a piece, a tool, a solution for every problem that's currently untested, but they're there, waiting to explored.
The creator in his wisdom has given us the answers, but we're yet to completely figure it out, and this is the problem; this is why we have exploitations, systems built by others to exploit their fellow human.

STOPThere's no money in it, so they don't research. And from a doctor's perspective, a natural cure could work, but the problem is with dosing. With pharmaceuticals, they know exactly how much to prescribe and that you'll receive the necessary amount.
Another problem is that people can be unreliable about following a course of treatments. They stop as soon as they feel better. This is evidenced by the misuse of antibiotics, which require increasingly more powerful versions because people don't take a full course, causing bacteria to adapt and become more resistant.
We should explore all options, I agree. But it doesn't necessarily mean we'll use remedies effectively.
Yes, we can never use it effectively and I pointed out to it as well. This falls back to research and constant testing which determines these things. I believe in the future mediocre and procedures can be cheaper if more actual research are done especially regarding other type of cures that aren't known or currently relevant.
Natural remedies are great options, but the problem universally with them is dosage. You never know what you are getting. Plus determining the dosage takes huge studies that someone as to pay for, and with something inexpensive like dandelion root no one will pay to fund it because they'll never earn their money back. So they stick with new drugs they can control pricewise.
It's all just a big money game, and it doesn't benefit us as consumers. Only the rich running the pharm companies!
Yeah, "they'll never earn their money back" this is mostly why it's likely not getting cheaper anytime soon, and that's sad. Dosage is something else, I mentioned it too that it's probably because of dosage (which requires a lot of human or animal testing) that brings a lot of limitations to how these things can actually work or help people
It's so sad, I for one have always hoped that someone somewhere will develop a natural cure combination for my condition someday
I didn't know about that of dandelions... There are without doubts some natural remedies, even for stress rather than psycho drugs
But those researches don't being money and don't enrich drugs companies, imagine if Pfizer cns replace their drugs with dandelions, it's not money making for them
Yeah they won't enrich these big companies, but I think a lot of medications also contains natural ingredients that were probably modified in the labs, so the still do some research like that even if it's not in large scales
Every single disease have it's natural way of treatment; I have an experience of it.
Yeah, it's true, sadly it's hidden somewhere and we don't know yet
Very rarely accept the true way of treatment;
I think natural remedies are good if they work, but I don't think the pharmacies want a full cure. They are in the state of trying to make drugs that alleviate your symptoms so they can continue to charge you over time.
Yeah, they don't want full cures, after all they'll not make the billions they're used to making if everyone is getting cured and honestly it's sad
