Some years ago, attending a family Wedding, was at breakfast the day of the Wedding. Conversation flowed on dynamics of food, one attendee asked another (Oncologist) “why are soo many people now advised against Grapefuit?”, to which the Oncologist replied “it reacts badly with Statin medications”. Clearly happy to show his knowledge to the huge table, no mention of them having similar benefits with the Grapefuit lacking the perilous side effects of Statins.
As conversation moved around, Cancer was discussed, happily I added that Otto Warburg had won the Nobel Prize for his research showing cellular respiration was key to understanding this. The Oncologist replied “well that is very old research”, to which I retorted “well has physiology changed?” to which he sheepishly smiled and pulled his face away, unable to articulate any reasonable counter to the discussion.
This brief conversation stuck with me, as this Oncologist was employed by Pharmaceutical companies, to fly first class around the world, selling Thalidomide to stage 4 Cancer sufferers in third world countries.
This man, barely in his 30’s had a Mansion, was hugely wealthy, selling grotesque drugs into regions it was not banned. It perfectly summed up how money unduly exerts influence on the healing fields. Most people marvelled at this young man, attaining all that wealth, yet at what cost to his Spirit/Karma? And, much more importantly, at what cost to the well being of those poor sufferers.
