Title
Grouppe Kurosawa, Medicine in the Public
Description
Grouppe Kurosawa is an organization named after the great Japanese movie director Akira Kurosawa. Interestingly, the organization was formed in a minimum security US Federal prison camp, where three of the members were serving short sentences. The Kurosawa name was chosen because the Grouppe Kurosawa members believe in the unfashionable concept of "death before dishonor", a philosophy of life that does not fit in well in our current age of greed, dishonesty and disloyalty. It is ironic, some might think, that an organization dedicated to developing non-profit medical therapies for chronic and acute diseases was formed in a prison. This is the nature of destiny, or GOD's will. None of us know why we are on this planet, but there is some reason, some purpose for our existence. Had some of us not gone to prison, the same prison and at the same time, Grouppe Kurosawa would not exist, nor would the Kurosawa kocktail™ medical essays ever have been written.
Grouppe Kurosawa owns numerous technologies but it manufactures no products. This web site has been financed by the members themselves and their friends and families for three years. At this point, in 2004, the demands on our time to collect and publish credible medical information for people medically in need is so pervasive that we cannot continue without outside financial support. Therefore, after three years of going it alone, we are allowing certain companies to affiliate themselves with us. We receive a commission of between 5-20% on any products you purchase that originated from a "click through" from this site. If you support our affiliates through our site, you support us. We are also taking contributions throught either the Grouppe Kurosawa Society or subscriptions to our discussion group.
The members of Grouppe Kurosawa share one fundamental philosophy. We believe that people can and should take care of the bulk of their own medical needs. We are not against modern medicine nor are we anti-technologists. We strongly believe in both. But we also strongly believe that people living in modern societies long ago placed the burden of their health and well-being onto the shoulders of the medical and health care professions. We expect health care providers to "fix us" regardless of our own self-imposed personal habits (smoking, and lack of exercise, to name a few) and diets. When the doctors cannot help us with all our health problems, we vilify them. This is simply not right. No physician, nurse, veterinarian, chiropractor, podiatrist, or pharmacist can know everything about every disease. Nor can they possibly keep up with all the technological advances that bombard them every day. With the exception of pharmacists, the only thing most health care providers know about drugs is what the drug salesmen tell them. This is just a fact of life. He who promotes his product the most-wins.
