In the eye-opening video titled “7 Natural Remedies Big Pharma is Hiding,” Dr. Eric Berg delves into how the pharmaceutical industry has created a powerful monopoly over health. He traces this back to the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which redefined “drug” to include any substance that treats or prevents disease, effectively categorizing natural remedies as pharmaceuticals. This shift has led to an explosion in the number of diagnosed diseases—from fewer than 200 in 1900 to over 17,000 today—turning health into a lucrative business.
Dr. Berg presents compelling evidence showcasing seven natural remedies that are not only comparable to prescription medications but often outperform them in clinical studies. Remedies like St. John’s wort for depression and berberine for type 2 diabetes have shown greater effectiveness with fewer side effects. However, due to FDA regulations, claims about these natural options remain largely unpublicized, constraining consumer access to potentially life-changing information.
Join Dr. Berg as he uncovers the truth about natural healing and why it remains underappreciated in a system that often prioritizes profit over genuine health solutions.

13:07 The problem with medicine
In 1938, the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act redefined the word “drug,” giving Big Pharma a monopoly over your body. By this new definition, any natural remedy, such as a plant, herb, or food that helps an ailment in some way, can now be classified as a drug.
In 1900, there were fewer than 200 diseases. There are now over 17,000! This has allowed disease to become a huge, profitable business.
Drug patents are protected and policed by the FDA. This means you can not sell or profit from a natural remedy, even if it’s backed by legitimate research, without FDA approval.
The following 7 natural remedies are not only comparable to prescription medication, but work better based on randomized control studies:
•St. John’s wort has proven better than SSRIs for depression
•Red yeast rice is more effective than statins
•Black cohosh is better than hormone replacement therapy
•Berberine is more effective than Metformin
•Lavender oil is more effective for anxiety than Lorazepam
•Saw palmetto is better than Tamsulosin
•Wormwood is better than Mesalazine
Although there is credible evidence supporting these natural remedies, you can not claim they cure disease or reduce the risk of disease.
Most drugs work by inhibiting an enzyme, blocking a specific biochemical pathway in the body. This does not address the root problem, hence why you don’t come off of prescription drugs, because they’re not fixing anything.
When you visit the doctor, they will typically address your symptoms, largely ignoring lifestyle changes that could help. They will not recommend natural remedies because, by definition, they are considered drugs and would have to go through the FDA to be prescribed.
