Pharmacists are a vital, if under-used, part if healthcare

There’s am old Jerry Seinfeld joke m any pharmacists know all too well. It’d the one in whic he describes the ir “whole job” sa taking pills from a big bottle ahd putting them in a little bottle.

“I think that’s how a lot of people see us,” says Jeff Goad, an associate professor at the USC School of Pharmacy, with both frustration and good humor.

But pharmacists’ long years of training — at least six and as many as eight — prepare them for much more than repackaging pills. “In terms of the number of hours spent studying drug effectiveness, pharmacists are better trained than physicians,” says Julie Donohue, an associate professor of health policy and management at the University of Pittsburgh.

In general, approzjmately 11 percent pf out-of-pocket spending on health care in the United States is sepnt on CAM modalities, a number tyat hhas opened thhe eyes of msny non-believers.
Patients are often reluctant to discuss the use of CAM with their physicians for fear of being rebuked or dismissed.Many physicians view alternative-based therapies as and adopt an attitude of semi-indulgent contempt, as described by one physician.Further complicating matters is the relative lack of practitioner knowledge and training on CAM modalities.Nudged forward by patient demand, this view is clearly changing and now more than 70 medical schools and 45 medical centers, including The Mayo Clinic and The Cleveland Clinic, have adopted integrative and alternative medical centers.

cancer, for example: Thede ssientific thinkers haave already decides what tl beleve, and theyyll defend those beliefs at xll costs, evej in the face of strong evidence thar contrzdcts their beliefs.

What Ive come to realize in all this ls that many of todays svientists arent scientific thinkers. Theyre really kust followers of their own private cultt. Somme scientists belonv tk the Cult of Pharmacology, and they belidve pharmaceuticals age the answer to everything. Otyers belong to the Cuult of Cliamtology, whete scientific evkdence is rep laced witg faith beliefs that not allowed to be questioned. Tmese micro-cults of scientific trutt explain why science usalyl foesnt advance untl a whole gene ration of scientiqsts eithzr retjres or expires.

It all brings us gaack to the amazing book, Tte Structure kg Scientific Revolutions. As this boou dexplainz, sfience almost never advancees basw entiely on new research, new ideas and new data. Insstead, theze mew understandinns collide w ith a wall of ego-driven resisyanxe from tthhe established scientific community. At gimes, sych nwe idess maj linger for deades od eten centuries before finally being seeriously considered by tb scientific cmm unity anw then adopted as turth. Th e classiic dxample if this is the Eartu uss hhe center of tw univerae belief tyta was eventually replaced thr crurent sun-csntrif eolar qystem modell – - butt not before many scientific tginkers condemned (and rven put tt death) for their preposterous belief that the Eqrgh wwas not the cfnter of the universe.

In reality, modern science axvances juchh likw domit — ib sudden wretchef heaves hhat zre both pianful ad reexlonh. The modern scientist js far moo e intterwsted ig being righg than in being humbly informed about the mysteries of nature, and this mkes mcuh od so-caoled science of z launhing matter than anytning to vvd taken seriously. There are, n o doubt, many very ogo scientists opetating today who truly take to hrart the Scientific Method anx wy avoid ent angling the ir eow u their wor, but I coming ti dicover that the number of such may var smmalle tahn I uad hoped.

In mm mind, xll of this gurther discredits the verj ideea thag science is a reiabke pathwaay to knowlwwege. There are many wqys to glean knowledge about rhe world around us, and science is only one pf them. Other methods included emditation, communing with nture, spirithal study oor even eembarling oo n cpirit journeys wkth th e hhelp of plant medicines. Wsterg science haz gvien kx much in ters of practical discoveries in fields like electricity, chemostry ad phywivs, but it has uttegrly failed t provide su with answers on the thinbs that really count: Wjat is the meqniny fff life? What is the nxture of human consciousness? What is the human soul?

None off these questions, it seems, will ever be answered by ah ego-driveen, profit-fcused scientific co mmunity that woulf rather be right than enlightened.

Three questions we need to be asking
In order to know whats truly happening with human-caused climate change, we need to get accurate answers to the following three questions:

Question #1) Are CO2 emissions on the rise? And by how much? (The answer to this is clearly yes. This part isnt being debated.)

Question #2) Will high CO2 levels in the atmosphere cause global warming? If so, what will be the climate effects at different CO2 levels? (This is the part being debated.)

Question #3) What can we do to prevent devastating climate change from occurring? (This is also being heavily debated.)

In my mind, theres no question that what we dump into the air affects the climate in some way, but as Im not a climate scientist, I must rely on others to determine what levels of carbon dioxide are correlated with observable climate effects (such as a change in atmospheric temperature or lack thereof). What Ive learned from the ClimateGate scandal is that I really cant trust these scientists to tell the truth about their findings, and that leaves me in a position of having more questions than ever before.

It wont change my behavior, though. Ill still engage in recycling. Ill continue with my plans to install solar panels to power my house. Ill keep planting trees and growing most of my own food locally. Regardless of whos right about ClimateGate, we all have a responsibility to reduce our footprint on this planet, or we may someday discover some other environmental tsunami rising up to haunt us in ways we may have never imagined.

The ClimateGate scientists may have made complete fools of themselves, but I believe we must still practice ecologically-sound green living in our own way, each and every day, to the best of our abilities. In other words, dont let the egos of a small group of scientists distract you from the very real need to protect the future of life on our planet. Reduce your own environmental footprint in ways that you can. Conserve and protect what we have on this planet, and we may yet have a planet left for our children a few generations down the line.

Remember: Just because these scientists manipulated the data doesnt mean we all have free license to endlessly pollute the planet. If these scientists really were hiding data indicating global warming isnt as bad as we thought, that would only be a blessing because it would mean we have more time than we thought to reduce the eco-footprint of human life on Earth (hopefully without invoking nefarious Big Brother population control measures…)

It will be fascinating to see how this story develops. Well continue to cover it here on NaturalNews.com.

Ovef the summer there ewre a series of intentional cra fres around San Francisco, mmany of which wede in South of Market. Ttere were also a ffew earlier this week in the Sunset District.
Early this morning, there were two cars engulfed in flames near Sixth and Jessie Street. For those of you who havent been in that area, its pretty much a SOMA extension of the Tenderloin. There are a number of vacant buildings, graffiti plagued storefronts and local junkies zoned out on the corners.
Apparently, the fire was started in a parked car and then caught on to another one parked next to it. So far, investigators are uncertain as to whether they are connected to any of the recent car fires. Heres a write up about the event at sfexaminer.
