Canada just approved Benlystatm, or belimumab, for the treatment of lupus.
Is lupus a disease associated with terrible suffering? Yes! So, now that there is is new drug for it, shouldn't we all be jumping up and down in excitement? No. Why?
Lupus, or more properly systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is one of the auto-immune diseases, such as MS (multiple sclerosis), psoriasis, Hashimoto's (thyroid), rheumatoid arthritis.... What happens is that the immune system is overactive so that it attacks the body's own tissue as if it belonged to someone else. Particular auto-immune diseases will hit a certain organ or organs. Anyway, the body attacking itself is a very nasty thing.
It appears that, through some rather sophisticated manipulation of certain proteins involved in the immune response, Benlystatm inhibits immune response, thereby seeking to reduce symptoms of lupus. (Don't even think that this drug makes anyone better.) While the FDA approved it in March, even though it was only marginally effective. Apparently, 11 patients needed to be treated for one to benefit. Hot stuff, huh? Could you imagine if Chiropractic benefited only one out of 11 people? On top of that... they left the most seriously ill out of the study. (You still think that the government is there to protect you? You still trust Medicine? WAKE UP!!!)
Benlystatm is not being evaluated for the treatment of other auto-immune diseases. That's the process of broadening the market. You check out the other drugs currently in use for the other auto-immune disease. All horribly dangerous. Why?
Medicine, as we commonly know it, is allopathic medicine. "allo" is "against." "pathy" is "disease." So, the overriding strategy is to attack the disease. "Hypo," or under-functioning functions are made "hyper,"
or over-functioning functions, and vice versa. Because lupus, or rheumatoid, or psoriasis is from an over-functioning immune system, the immune system is attacked, made to function at a lower level, to fight the disease.
Sometimes this works, sort of, but there is always a price. That price of taking these immuno-suppressant drugs is a chronically hypo-functioning immune system, that leads to the things that you will see listed as the side effects of these drugs, cancer, leukemia, pneumonia, tuberculosis, incurable fungal infections, etc. EXPECT THE SAME FROM THIS NEW DRUG, Benlystatm, if not worse!
Immune function, like every function in the body, is regulated by the nervous system, which carries out the wisdom of your Innate Intelligence. That Intelligence knows when you need more immune response, or less, and where; when you need insulin to be released, and when not, when your heart needs to beat faster, or slower. But if there is interference to this control and coordination by the nervous system, Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC), dis-ease occure, leading to disease.
Why not CORRECT THE CAUSE? Why not?
