Taxol is a SYNTHETIC DERIVATIVE of the Pacific Yew tree

April 19, 2009

Paclitaxel, AKA Taxol, is NOT the Pacific Yew tree, nor is it a natural compound

found in nature. Instead, it is a semisynthetic antineoplastic agent - a

diterpenoid taxane derivative from the bark of the Pacific yew tree, Taxus

brevifolia.

Mainstream medicine does not use natural compounds found in nature unless they

can devise a patentable way to uniquely isolate them. THAT is mainstream

medicine does not use natural plants or compounds. Nor does it use whole food

derived natural vitamins or minerals. They cannot be patented and thus there is

no profit in using them nor is it feasible to recover the hundreds of millions

of dollars it takes to get them through FDA trials and to market.

Likewise, that is the reason that synthetic versions of natural compounds, lab

created drugs and unnatural isolates not found in nature often do not work and

have side effects over 95% of the time.

Man developed alongside and was nurtured and healed by nature for millenia. We

did not develop alongside man made chemicals which are not found in nature and

are thus unnatural to our bodies. A good rule of thumb is that if something is

not found in nature there is a very good chance of causing problems when

ingested or injected.

In addition, nature works synergistically. Although one or more primary

compounds may be found in medicinal plants, most often there are a great number

of supporting compounds that make the total effectiveness of the plant much

greater than any single compound isolated (or worse, synthesized) by man.

Mainstream medicine would have you believe otherwise and contend that they have

taken a plant with medicinal properties much more effective with their magic

labwork - bettering God and Nature. The truth is that it is all about profits

not healing, and there is no profits without the ability to patent. Nature is

by and large not patentable.
