The modern medical system has a few basic pillars on which everything else is based: antibiotics, chemical drugs, and surgery. It is well-documented that these three pillars of modern medicine were not discovered by the medical system, but rather have been derived from the traditional knowledge of Africans and indigenous people. Most pharmaceutical drugs are simply patented chemical versions of plants that have been used for thousands of years; the "active ingredient" of a plant is usually extracted and made into a more harmful and toxic chemical version of the natural cure in the name of profits. Surgery was practiced in Kemet (Africa) even before the time of the Pharaohs, and the medical papyri that were stolen from Kemet offer proof of even brain surgery during that period. While the medical system has a self-proclaimed monopoly on everything related to human health, one needn¹t look far for concrete evidence that the modern medical system is merely piggybacking on knowledge that is millions of years old. This is not to say that the modern medical system has not made progress in its knowledge or technology, for the technological developments of the modern medical system are profound. For example, in vitro fertilization was not an option for traditional healing, not necessarily because the technology could not be developed due to lack of knowledge, but because of the ethical, moral, and spiritual consequences to such a procedure. Because the medical system has always been separated from spirituality, deeper spiritual and moral values are no longer an issue. This makes anything possible, including cloning, growing human organs on pigs, and the business of organ trade.
The trade of organs is now seen as normal and desirable, largely thanks to the medical system. From kidneys to hearts, no organ is taboo from transplantation. While people of indigenous societies and culture tend to see this practice as barbaric and taboo, the European system has been doing this for over 2000 years. It is a well-documented but little-known fact that while Greeks and Romans were stealing documents and knowledge from the Nile Valley in Kemet (Ancient Egypt/Africa), they were also stealing dead bodies. Evidence of these thefts are found in museums throughout the modern world as mummys are put on display for all the world to see. The theft of dead Africans was not just for purposes of show, however; Europeans were stealing dead bodies for medical and nutritive purposes also. Dead Africans were ground into powder form and sold as a powerful and magical stimulant for the body! According to European medical "fact", the dead African bodies, when eaten as "mummy powder", could provide protection and cures from innumerable diseases.
The business of human body parts has always been a profitable one for the modern medical system. In times past, mummy powder brought huge profits, and today, organ transplants bring large sums to surgeons and the hospitals that employ them. In assessing the material cost of organ transplants, we cannot forget that the hospital and surgeon that harvested an organ, the transportation company, pharmeacutical companies, and the suppliers of equipment and materials also must be paid. Organ transplants bring huge amounts of money to the medical system, and because hospitals, doctors offices, research facilities, etc., are businesses, the bottom line always counts, and dealings are not immune to corruption.
Recently, Christopher Ibbotson from the UK was convicted for "obtaining money by deception" and sentenced to ten months in jail for selling human bones for a personal profit. Ibbotson managed a bone bank at Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, England, and was accused of selling bones that had been donated to the bank for use in grafts to private clinics, enabling him to personally pocket £12,000. Judge Roger Keen ordered Ibbotson to pay £12,443 to the hospital trust and pay £4,500 prosecution costs. He said, "This was a cynical and deeply dishonest breach of trust stretching over nearly five years,".
The European trade of human organs continues as both a legitimate business and as an underground market. While the modern medical system may no longer promote the consumption of powdered mummies, it does promote the liberal trade of all human organs and tissues. One must wonder why they concentrate on replacing an organ rather than working on a cure that will revitalize it.
