"Instead, the activity is induced by a complex mixture of components contained in the extract, acting synergistically to modulate the immune system."
there it is... pharmaceutical companies and patented medicines miss the mark when it comes to a "cure" because they can never duplicate the synergies OR interpret the synergies within the human body.
But then a "cure" is not good for business is it? Pharmaceuticals seem to be just enough to squeeze every last dollar out of someone and their families before they die from the illness.
"What's hilarious about all this is that researchers continue to think the health benefits of whole foods are due entirely to the activity of certain identifiable phytonutrients. They have no concept that it may be the vibrational nature of the plant itself that imparts a significant portion of the documented health effects. It's not just some isolated chemical that makes plants healthy: it's the whole plant. The character of the plant. Or, as I sometimes say, the homeopathy of the plant. And you can't see that under a microscope."
