As soon as one reads, “prevention is better than, ” one thinks of a “cure” for something. But over the last 50 years, “cure” has become a dirty word in pharmacy. “Cures cost too much” is the common belief. How does this match the reality of the situation?

Strong financial incentives support prolonging treatment as long as possible. Pharmaceutical prevention is limited to vaccines. They are designed to preserve people for eventual disease treatment.

While scurvy is the defined source of 100 diseases—including all the most-common fatal diseases of young and old adults, the U.K. government has no enthusiasm for preventing scurvy and is not paying for patients’ vitamin C. Nor is it likely that in the United States, “Obamacare” will be any different.

Vaccines are immensely profitable—and controversial. The MMR vaccine targets measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles.) Yet pioneer doctor Fred Klenner found that within 24 hours of being infected with mumps, measles, or mononucleosis, his patients could be returned to normal duties simply by taking bowel tolerance doses of vitamin C.

He didn’t use the expression “bowel tolerance.” That term was coined by another remarkable doctor, the late Robert Cathcart III, M.D., who was an avid student of Klenner. Like Klenner, Dr. Cathcart was a beacon of medical honesty. By going to bowel tolerance, Cathcart, like Klenner, found that almost any common infection could be cured whether it was a life-threatening virus, snake venom, or bacteria.

How many have died needlessly of MRSA infections? Google for “Bush, MRSA, Biant” to see my British Medical Journal letters on this subject.

How does PharmacoMedicine react to this? It is ignored. The PharMAFIA (pharmacy, medicine, and food industry alliance) produces ever-lengthening lists of chemicals in our food.

Margarines made with unusual oils originally produced for the paint industry, sometimes contaminated with nickel from factories, are surely examples of processed foods we are advised to avoid. It seems that margarine is doublespeak for “healthy,” for some margarines use the image of a heart to advertise them.

Yet some biochemists would wash margarine off their skin. To display margarine along with butter in supermarkets is a joke. It does not need refrigeration. Putting it next to the shoe polishes would be fine. After a month, butter is eaten by mold. Microorganisms reject margarine.

Touted for heart-disease prevention, the unsaturated oils in margarine are claimed to reduce plasma cholesterol. That free radicals cause heart disease (Dr. Denham Harman, Lancet November 1957) doesn’t worry manufacturers. Harman said the hypothesized cure for heart disease could be “worse than the disease.”

My letters to the British Medical Journal are rejected. I offered to check retinal arteries of those taking statins for cholesterol blockages. “Avoiding damages claims for overdose” is a worthy objective, I wrote. But that was a threat to the billions of dollars made from the most profitable drug in history.

Clearly I proved my case. End points for treatment (cures!) are unacceptable. Cures cost too much.

Dr. Bush practices optometry in the U.K. His website is LifeExtensionOptometry.org
