During the Second World War discoveries and contributions were carried out and showed that medicine had given fabulous steps, in 1962 for the first time a desmembered arm had been totally rejoined thanks to the surgical microscope. Other fantastic acrobatics as transplants of organs and the plastic reinstatement of members, as well as the endoscopy, the protesis, the treatment of fractures, the use of hormones and vitamins, have offered a remarkable credibility to the current medical science.

This effect has generated a great faith toward the current medicine, elevating the doctors and its institutions to a different category. All this has propitiated a widespread arrogance among doctors, hospitals and laboratories that affects the patient negatively in his health and in his economy.

But the reality is that the modern medicine has dropped its sacred promise, in detriment of mankind. The methods and the forms of most of the treatments that exist at the moment come of about sixty or fifty years ago, such it is the case of the chemotherapy and the radiation to treat the cancer at the present time.

A decisive factor that has impelled this great peak of the medicine is the exaggerated marketing linked to the pharmacology. In each pharmacy of the city, exist thousands of remedies presented as a simple solution to the common illnesses, that in general, they only reduce the symptoms, because they never combat the real problem, because at the end it is our immunologic system the one that cures us from a bad condition.

The success of these medications resides in that the patient saves a considerable sum of time and money when avoiding a visit to the doctor, but the negative effect is that the society gets used to be deceived, because in an apparent way, a single pill almost seems to cure any thing. The truth is that the sensation of well-being and relief will last only while the drug makes effect in the patient's body.
