Revised 5.13.05
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.
Who are we really?
Grouppe Kurosawa consists of a "bunch of super-intelligent freaks that do not work and play well with others".
And this is what our friends think of us.
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.
So what is our point? Simply put, it is this. Long before the development of so-called modern medicine, people all over the world took care of many of their own medical needs by using the healing powers of natural plants and microorganisms. Microorganisms? Yes! Virtually all the cholesterol lowering drugs are derived from compounds found in certain strains of fungi. At least 30% of all so-called modern medicines are not modern at all. They are derived from natural compounds that have been isolated from plants and microorganisms, identified and synthetically made by pharmaceutical companies. The most potent anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents known are the essential oils and spices derived from plants. Still skeptical? Some of the most powerful, and least toxic anti-cancer agents yet identified are found in spices (chili and curry), soy, green and black tea, and the bark of the Paw Paw tree.
Modern medicine, as we presently define it, cannot compete with natural products in terms of cost, efficacy and toxicity. The one advantage modern medicines have over more traditional, natural medicines is convenience. It is easy to take a pill or receive an injection. How much soy do you have to eat before the medicinal compounds contained therein have any effect on cancer? These are perfectly reasonable questions and we are going to answer them.
Grouppe Kurosawa is not interested in questions of general nutrition. You can get nutrition anywhere, for the most part. We are concerned with the so-called medicinal compounds found in functional foods and how to prepare or extract them so they can be medically useful to people who want to take charge of their own health. Rather than fearing cancer, do something for yourself and learn to prepare lotions, salad dressings, milk shakes, and concentrated extracts from natural fruits, vegetables, and plants that can help you both stay healthy and treat your disease. Read the essays on this web site for further information.
40 million Americans do not have health care because they cannot afford it. Modern medicine is never going to solve all the problems facing the urban and rural poor. Third world countries have no budgets for modern medicines, but they can prepare powerful natural medicines for many of the same diseases if someone teaches them how to proceed. We intend to do this.
Pharmaceutical companies are not in business so people will love them. They want to make money and no one can blame them. Their stockholders insist upon profits and the more the better. In reality, most of these companies would rather make anti-wrinkle creams than develop new malaria medicines. From a strictly financial standpoint, that's where the money is. The people who need these medicines the most are the very ones who can afford them the least. Fortunately, the situation is not hopeless. The most effective malaria medicine ever discovered is quinine, a product of tree bark. The Amazon Indians currently protect themselves from malaria by boiling a specific plant and breathing the plant's essential oils that are released in the steam. This technique kills all the malaria parasites in their body in 48 hours. This is a low tech medicine by modern standards. We have news for you. Who cares? High technology pharmaceuticals are rarely what they seem. Read the warning labels. Natural medicines are often more effective, certainly very inexpensive and rarely toxic. So who are the morons-the Amazon Indians or the rest of us?
The scientific literature contains countless thousands of scientific studies on a list of medicinal plants that is so long it defies description. The Grouppe Kurosawa web site is a scientific web site. We aren't interested in wild claims for natural products based on no scientific data. We are going to interpret the scientific information that already exists on natural medicines and explain them to the people of the world. We are also going to published detailed protocols, Kurosawa kocktails™, on treating everything from solid tumors, leukemia, AIDS, gastrointestinal inflammation, and other medical significant topics.
People can help themselves medically if someone tells them how. We are That Someone.
