Why I Trust Green Tea Over Big Pharma"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, this is Frank.<\/p>\n<p>This is a story from some time ago. Yahoo! News once reported about a French man who had undergone a face transplant. Due to the immunosuppressants used to prevent rejection of the transplanted tissue, he became more susceptible to cancer\u2014and eventually developed two different types.<\/p>\n<p>Out of respect for the family&#8217;s privacy, his death was not made public immediately.<\/p>\n<p>While there were various personal reasons behind his decision to undergo surgery, one thing stood out to me: <strong>he developed cancer due to the side effects of the medication<\/strong>. It made me question the very act of taking medicine. Should we really be putting these substances into our bodies?<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s talk about Opdivo, the so-called \u201cmiracle cancer drug.\u201d It reportedly costs around 200 billion yen to develop a new drug like this\u2014an eye-watering figure.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, licensing fees typically run at around 6% of sales revenue. That means huge royalties go straight into the developers\u2019 pockets.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014I don\u2019t take cancer lightly. In a way, I see it as a mysterious, almost spiritual phenomenon. The pharmaceutical industry\u2019s war on cancer will likely never end.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#ffff00;\">But me? I\u2019d rather invest in staying healthy than in chasing the next miracle pill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Science studies the natural world\u2014things we already know, in a sense. Philosophy tackles the mysteries of life\u2014the things we don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n<p>So where should we be spending our money?<\/p>\n<p>As for me, I don\u2019t take any medicine. I stay healthy by drinking \u201cstrong green tea.\u201d Even one of my students who works at a pharmaceutical company once told me, \u201cI don\u2019t take medicine myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\" border-style: none; width:300px;\">\n<tr style=\"border-style:none;\">\n<td style=\"vertical-align:top; border-style:none; padding:10px; width:140px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/px.a8.net\/svt\/ejp?a8mat=1NWEW3+IH6RM+249K+BWGDT&#038;a8ejpredirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.jp%2Fdp%2FB07W65ZXZV%2F%3Ftag%3Da8-affi-193257-22\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/414ho5I INL._SS160_.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"font-size:12px; vertical-align:middle; border-style:none; padding:10px;\">\n<p style=\"padding:0; margin:0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/px.a8.net\/svt\/ejp?a8mat=1NWEW3+IH6RM+249K+BWGDT&#038;a8ejpredirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.jp%2Fdp%2FB07W65ZXZV%2F%3Ftag%3Da8-affi-193257-22\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u3010Amazon.co.jp\u9650\u5b9a\u3011 \u4f0a\u85e4\u5712 RRO\u30dc\u30c3\u30af\u30b9 \u304a\u30fc\u3044\u304a\u8336 \u6fc3\u3044\u8336 [\u6a5f\u80fd\u6027\u8868\u793a\u98df\u54c1] 2L\u00d79\u672c<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#cc0000; font-weight:bold; margin-top:10px;\">\u65b0\u54c1\u4fa1\u683c<br \/>\uffe52,298<span style=\"font-weight:normal;\">\u304b\u3089<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:10px; font-weight:normal;\">(2025\/7\/10 21:13\u6642\u70b9)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www17.a8.net\/0.gif?a8mat=1NWEW3+IH6RM+249K+BWGDT\" alt=\"\">If you\u2019re interested in my published books, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47U3fAm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading today.<\/p>\n<p>Back to Genre\uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/frankyoshida.com\/experts-at-community\/?page_id=655\" target=\"_blank\">>Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Currently, I&#8217;m participating in the popular blog rankings.<br \/>\nToday&#8217;s ranking for [AMISTAD] is?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.with2.net\/link\/?id=2113753:1901\" title=\"\u5b66\u554f\u30fb\u79d1\u5b66\u30e9\u30f3\u30ad\u30f3\u30b0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u5b66\u554f\u30fb\u79d1\u5b66\u30e9\u30f3\u30ad\u30f3\u30b0\" width=\"200\" height=\"55\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.with2.net\/img\/banner\/c\/banner_2\/br_c_1901_2.gif\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.with2.net\/link\/?id=2113753&#038;follow\" title=\"\u4eba\u6c17\u30d6\u30ed\u30b0\u30e9\u30f3\u30ad\u30f3\u30b0\u3067\u30d5\u30a9\u30ed\u30fc\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u4eba\u6c17\u30d6\u30ed\u30b0\u30e9\u30f3\u30ad\u30f3\u30b0\u3067\u30d5\u30a9\u30ed\u30fc\" width=\"172\" height=\"20\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.with2.net\/banner\/follow\/2113753?t=m\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2340083434515067\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><!-- AMISTAD \u8a18\u4e8b\u4e0b --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2340083434515067\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9267253371\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, this is Frank.
