AI in Medicine: Breakthrough or Takeover?
Welcome to CGH News, your source for holistic health insights and critical conversations about the evolving battle between technology and nature. In our first episode, we explore two stories that demonstrate just how quickly artificial intelligence and biotechnology are transforming healthcare — and why we at Cedar Grove Herbs believe these changes demand our attention.
Watch AI in Medicine: Breakthrough or Takeover?
Elon Musk, Neuralink, and the FDA Firings
A recent report revealed that nearly 20 FDA employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company, Neuralink, were abruptly fired. These employees played a key role in reviewing clinical trial applications for brain-computer interfaces — the technology Neuralink is pioneering to allow paralyzed individuals to control digital devices with their minds. The sudden removals raise serious concerns about the influence of corporate power over regulatory oversight and the safety of these experiments.
Neuralink isn’t just creating brain implants — they’re actively testing technology to restore vision and eventually merge human consciousness with machines. But here at Cedar Grove Herbs, we ask: at what cost? When we modify the mind itself, are we stepping too far from the organic self — turning people into something else entirely?
Google’s AI Co-Scientist: A Breakthrough with Hidden Costs?
The second story we cover highlights Google’s new AI tool, the Co-Scientist. This artificial intelligence system is designed to speed up biomedical research by identifying gaps in scientific knowledge and generating new research hypotheses at unprecedented speeds. In early tests, this AI has already produced scientific proposals that match or exceed the output of university research teams — all in days instead of years.
But faster isn’t always better. As we explain in the episode, this data-driven science comes at a cost: it favors the fragmented knowledge stored in scientific papers, while ignoring the holistic, oral, and ancestral knowledge that has guided humanity’s healing for millennia. Modern science, with all its tools and algorithms, is just now "discovering" what Indigenous cultures and ancient healers have known for generations.
The CGH Perspective: Organic Sovereignty Matters
At Cedar Grove Herbs, we’ve stood against GMO foods for years. But now, we’re seeing the next phase — the rise of GMO people. Neuralink’s implants and AI-driven health algorithms are all part of the same larger system — one that seeks to replace organic, natural living with technological control.
There’s nothing wrong with innovation — but when technology ignores the wisdom of the earth, the plants, and the healers who have worked with them for thousands of years, we risk losing more than we gain. True healing comes from the harmony between body, spirit, and nature — not from corporate algorithms.
Key Takeaways from AI in Medicine: Breakthrough or Takeover?
- Nearly 20 FDA staff were fired after reviewing Neuralink, slowing oversight of brain implant trials.
- Neuralink aims to merge human minds with machines, raising ethical questions about the future of humanity.
- Google’s AI Co-Scientist speeds up research but ignores holistic and cultural healing traditions.
- AI is being trained on fragmented scientific data, not the complete body of healing knowledge passed down through generations.
- CGH’s Position: The future of herbal medicine and holistic health must remain in the hands of healers, not algorithms.

Do you believe AI and brain implants are inevitable? Or is there still time to protect our right to natural, organic living? Should we trust machines to guide our health — or should we return to the ancient remedies that have sustained humanity for millennia?
