SYNTHETIC VS. HERBAL DRUGS.

Focused on Understanding

 

About 8% of hospital admissions in the United States of America are due to adverse or side effects of synthetic drugs. Approximately 100,000 people each year die due to these toxicities. It means that the number killed in the U.S. by pharmaceutical drugs are at least three times more than the number killed by drunk drivers. Additionally, each year thousands of people die from supposedly “safe” over-the-counter drugs. Deaths or hospitalizations due to herbs are so rare that they are hard to find.

 

The National Poison Control Centers of the United States does not even have a category in their database for side or adverse reactions to herbs. Therefore, people every year turn to herbal medicine because they believe plant remedies are almost free from undesirable or unexpected side effects. However, toxicity of herbal medicines needs to be seen in context (Although herbal medicines are generally considered to be safe and effective).

Synthetic medicines, while effective, often come with a significant drawback: the
potential for unexpected or undesired side effects that may take years or even
decades to manifest. This uncertainty creates a substantial risk for
pharmaceutical companies, potentially leading to costly civil lawsuits and
significant financial liabilities. Moreover, these legal challenges can cause
instability in the stock prices of public companies, further impacting their market
position.


In contrast, plant-based medicines offer a compelling alternative. These natural
remedies are far less likely to face the same level of risk and uncertainty. By
harnessing the power of nature, we can potentially avoid the pitfalls associated
with synthetic drugs while still providing effective treatments. This approach not
only benefits patients but also offers a more stable and sustainable business
model for pharmaceutical companies.


At Stramsen Biotech Inc., we are at the forefront of this revolutionary approach to
medicine. Our commitment to developing plant-based treatments isn't just about
creating safer alternatives - it's about transforming lives while minimizing risks.
By choosing the natural path, we are not only innovating in healthcare but also
protecting our business and our investors from the unpredictable consequences
often associated with synthetic drugs.
