Bedtime Story
Coming to Terms with Limits of Medicine
The above research paper gives you a very
good idea what research and discovery of a new treatment modality entails.
This should make you very apprehensive and
at the same time highly skeptical when practitioners of alternative medicines
in third-world nations promise to offer you miraculous cure for illnesses
(besides prayers) that modern medicine is at a failure to treat.
The list of diseases that are incurable by current
medicine is incredibly long; a fact which would surprise many of us.
Denial of the limitations of the current
medicine is not only erroneous and misleading but is also a serious crime in
deception.
The limit to what current medicine is
capable of curing has to be understood by everybody and not just the people who
are directly involved in medicine but the general public as well.
If modern medicine is not capable of curing
any illness then it obviously follows that nothing else is capable of curing
that specific disorder because if some other remedy was capable of curing it
greedy sponsors and researchers in the “Evil Western American laboratories”
would have picked it up and subjected it to such clinical trials.
That alternative remedy would thus have
become a part of medicine instead of being an “alternative”.
Always bear in mind that nobody is more
eager to exploit the natural resources of this planet (and thereby convert them
into American Dollars) than the giant corporations of the United States.
All the empires that have ever existed on
this planet are built upon such exploitation of natural resources with human
resource being just one of the many natural resources.
In fact, some empires or eras have been
named after the resources that were most prominently exploited such as the
Akkadian Empire and Babylon of the Bronze and Iron Age.
Similarly when the resources that were
exploited by European empires were other nations and its citizens then that era
and those empires go by the name of Colonial Empires.
In the same vein United States is an empire
because it has learnt to exploit maximally everything it can, right from
silicon to space to cells more efficiently than other nations.
At the UC Irvine’s Gavin Herbert Eye
Institute under the mentorship of Professor M. Cristina Kenney M.D., PhD.,
several chemicals that are offered in various treatments of various forms of
alternative medicines are routinely tried on cell cultures to find out if they
actually confer some kind of protective effect on cultured cells that have been
previously exposed to known toxins.
Such experiments are performed with
different concentration gradients of toxins with always one cell group as
control.
If any of them show any potential they
would be immediately picked up by the pharmaceutical giants since our leading
researcher Professor Kuppermann directly worked as a collaborator and advisor
for the pharmaceutical giant Allergan and would not leave a single opportunity
for converting a research in commercial gain.

Another great educator and a teacher that I am aware of is
Professor Subhashish Chattopadhyay in Bangalore, India.
While I narrate stories, Professor Subhashish an electronic
engineer and a former professor at BARC, does and teaches real mathematics and
physics.
He started the participation of Indian students at the
International Physics Olympiad.
