Several months back I heard a great NPR program. The gist of it was that in parts of Europe (sorry, I don't remember the exact countries, but I think England was one of them) they run many public service announcements to encourage people to go for regular check-ups, preventative care Dr. visits, and to go to the Dr. early on when ill. Why? Because they have government healthcare and the cost benefits are that preventative care, and early detection saves millions in healthcare expenses.
What would happen in our society if we saved millions in healthcare by preventative care? The insurance companies would suffer financial loss and perhaps the medical industry, too.
From a broad spectra in America maybe we're too focused on making a buck rather than saving a buck.
Don't forget, in Europe, Natural Medicine is on a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD with conventional western medicine. Natural Medicine as I was saying is the only thing that can really prevent or reverse anything that is chronic or degenerative.
Here if the conventioinal medical establishment had its way, there would be no such thing as Natural Medicine in this country. They poo poo it here. Why? BECAUSE IT WORKS and they see it as a threat to the ongoing scam of pushing prescription drugs on people who could probably very easily be made healthy enough so they would no longer NEED the prescriptions---if they only knew that in order to do that they'd need to be seeing a Naturo[athic Doctor (like a modern day Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman). The problem is, most Americans aren't even aware there is another type of doctor---on purpose. They think medical doctors are supposed to know everything there is to know about illness and wellness etc. which is dead wrong. The media helps keep the lie going. In actuality,they know very little. They do know how to help in ACUTE situations. That is their forte but they have little to offer someone with chronic or degnerative issues .
Instead what they DO know, is how to make as much money as they can for as long as they can while you are sick. Again, as I said before, it is all about the MONEY.
It's not the governments job to legislate those things
But there are things they can do to "steer" us (even if it angers the top food kings who care about the bottom line as numero uno), since they have the power. It's already happening - I can't wait to see more. I hope the movement can remain corruption-free!! Dear God, please. The last thing we need is crooks and shady characters in the healthy-bodies-for-a-better-America movement!
Nope. Today's food kings and all their lower henchmen, cronies, cheerleaders and, to some extent, their customers too, are the corrupt ones who do not care about our veins, arteries and cells
