Obamacare is now inevitable after
his re-election but unfortunately its failure to improve the health of
Americans in any way is absolute. While the United States makes up 5% of the
world’s population, it consumes over 50% of the world’s pharmaceutical drugs.
We spend nearly 3 trillion dollars on health care annually. With those
statistics, one would expect incredible health among its people yet the World
Health Organization ranks The U.S. 42nd in life expectancy.
We have 23 million people with
diabetes, 100 million with high cholesterol, and 11 million with cancer. Autism,
allergies, asthma, and ADD ravage our children. This current system of medicine
has done nothing to curb chronic disease. Our standard method of health care is
broken and allowing free and easy access to a broken medical system
does nothing
to create true lasting health. It simply allows more people into the existing failed
and misguided health care complex.
Do you really want free and easy
access to this ruinous organization; This system with all its “scientific”
research that has done nothing to curb chronic disease? No thank you. Allowing
a diabetic (or anyone with a pre-existing condition) affordable insurance only
confirms that they will be confronted with more of the same health care failures.
It does nothing to cure or restore normal physiology.
Our emergency medicine is state
of the art. No doubt about it. There’s no place I’d rather be than in an
American E.R. if my life was hanging by a thread. But when it comes to chronic
disease, our system is guided by special interest groups, greed (feel free to
check out the Wilke vs. AMA lawsuit), and dogma entrenched in an outdated
paradigm of reductionism (vs. the now more current paradigm of holism.)
Research suggests that 80% of our
diseases and illness are attributed to lifestyle choices. (Health care costs
for obesity alone range near $52 billion.) Inside the Affordable Care Act,
where is the emphasis on prevention and life style choices? Medicine turns its
back on the vital and essential role of nutrition, hydration, fresh air,
exercise, and sunshine while promoting the use of dangerous synthetic chemical
therapies. Where are the therapies to correct pH imbalance; So critical to
health yet so ignored by medicine. Where
are the referrals from MDs to chiropractors whose treatment for back pain has
been proven to be more cost effective? Where are the prescriptions for
broccoli, carrots, and apples?
In a world where we can find real
lemons used in furniture polish but lemonade is fabricated from synthetic chemicals,
when we have been convinced that a headache is caused by a deficiency of
Ibuprofen, and that loading up our children with mountains of sugar has nothing
to do with ADD, what should we expect? When we fill our dinner plates with GMO
products, Aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated fats, and secondary
hormones and antibiotics, what should we expect?
Being guided by a group of people
who do not understand basic physiology is not my idea of health care. We can
give away free and easy access to every person in this country but it will not
make us healthier. If you want real medical reform, learn how not to get sick
in the first place and stay out of the doctor’s office.
My book, Mother
Nature’s Healing Touch Therapies. The Remedy for an Ailing Health Care System,
(available through Amazon and Kindle) can help you understand just how easy
real lasting health can be.
