Short one for you today.
One of the first things I do when a new drug comes out is take a look at the “Mechanism of Action” for the drug. That tells you what the drug is targeting to “treat” whatever symptom it claims to eliminate.
Except, occasionally, when they say “Mechanism of action Unknown”. When they say that, what they really mean is “We REALLY don’t know, it’s just a mystery to us why this works!” OR, usually, it means they DO know, but really don’t want anyone to know because there would be a lot of questions.
Anyway, if they give you the mechanism of action, you can usually figure out what the root cause of the symptom is that it is treating, and you can solve the root problem without drugs.
For instance, Pfizer just came out with their new Migraine Drug Zavzpret. Here’s the Mechanism of Action:
zavegepant intranasal (Rx)
Brand and Other Names: Zavzpret
Classes: CGRP Receptor Antagonists (Emphasis mine)
Mechanism of Action
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist; binds to CGRP receptor, which is thought to be causally involved in migraine pathophysiology ( SOURCE )
Now, this immediately caught my eye because I am what I call a “Migraine Survivor”. I used to get what I called “2-day-ers”. Until I figured out what was causing them: MSG (monosodium glutamate) and about 40 or more other Food Additives.
There’s a reason I use the term “Survivor” for myself. Migraines are more than just painful. They are actually killing brain neurons, and neuron receptors. Another word for these food additives would be “Toxic”: Yes, they are indeed killing you off slowly.
Thank you Truth In Labeling Campaign! (TRUTHINLABELING.ORG)
You should read the book, too! “The Perfect Poison: The Story That Big Food and Its Friends at the FDA Don't Want You To Know”
( TRUTHINLABELING.MEDIUM.COM )
So what Pfizer doesn’t care to explain further, is that the receptor that their drug is blocking (NMDA) is the SAME receptor that is used by Glutamate. You know, the glutamate in MSG. So while it is blocking NMDA against CGRP, it is ALSO blocking NMDA against Glutamate! What a coincidence…..
But, of course, the drug industry is literally joined at the hip with the Food Additives Industry, (they are both part of the overall Chemicals Industry) so we can’t be making drugs to treat too much MSG in our diets. That would be counter-profitable. Someone might look at that and say “Hey, why don’t we just quit putting MSG Toxins into our food?”
So Pfizer, and the others, knowing the root cause of Migraines is MSG and all of the other Manufactured free Glutamates, treat this one symptom of our poisoned food system by pointing the finger at something just coincidentally related (CGRP) that probably will treat this temporary symptom of toxic food poisoning, while allowing it to continue to poison you in the background.
Yep, you’ve been Pfizered. Again.
And it won’t stop until we quit buying their Food and Drugs.
Why fix our food when there's a drug for that! I'd like to see "you've been Pfizered" on bumper stickers, hashtags and graffitied on walls. Genius!
