“Where’s The Health In Health Care?”
I am truly amazed at the pitiful attempts of any government to solve any health care problem. Let’s take this new health care plan proposed in the U.S for example.
Would you like to know why this plan won’t make any lasting difference?
It’s because this is the same type of solution put forth by every previous administration. Every administration proposes a health care reform plan that includes paying for health care, managing the system, cutting programs, more insurance, more tax so on and so forth.
My point is that governmental solutions seem to always be about paying for sickness, it seems the best you can hope for is free sickness. Which on many levels isn’t free at all.
What is never spoken about is that every major disease is on the rise and accelerating. And neither our current supposed state-of-the-art health care system, nor the multi-billion dollar generating pharmaceutical companies have managed to cure anything. Despite trillions of dollars in disease research spent all around the world, there still isn’t even a cure for the common cold!
Let me ask you this, does it really make sense to expect an industry that exists largely because of the presence of disease to find cures for these diseases? Think about it!
Under the current system disease is profitable. And as long as that situation exists, it’s going to be up to you to learn how to care for yourself.
I should add that in many ways our health care system is great. When it comes to physical trauma, there is nowhere else I’d rather be then in a hospital and I feel that most health care providers are professional, caring and highly compassionate people. The issue I’m focused on is that more and more people are getting sick and we don’t seem to be even asking the right questions.
And The Truth Shall Set You Free
Hold on to your hat — you’re about to learn what trillions of research dollars has failed to discover, or perhaps what they have refused to acknowledge.
Robert Williams, PhD, founded and directed the Clayton Foundation Biochemical Institute from 1941 to 1963. Dr. Williams authored 21 books, wrote nearly 300 articles and was quoted as saying that his life’s work and all his twenty-one books can be summed up in one sentence:
“The human body heals itself and nutrition provides the resources to accomplish the task.”
Using this knowledge as our foundation we can now ask a different set of questions.
Question #1: What Does The Body Absolutely Need?
Science has proven that within the four fundamental components of nutrition – vitamins and minerals, fats, proteins and carbohydrates – there exists certain components that the body cannot make on its own and so must therefore be obtained from the foods we consume. These are known as the essentials.
There are roughly 28 essential vitamins and minerals, 2 essential fatty acids, 9 essential amino acids and 8 necessary carbohydrates for a total of 47 nutrients your body needs to function optimally.
Now, did you know that many people died due to a disease called scurvy and that it turned out to be a vitamin C deficiency? What about the fact that a vitamin D deficiency resulted in a disease called rickets? These are historic facts, folks!
Listen, vitamin C and D are just 2 of the 28 essential vitamins and minerals our bodies need in order to function properly. Can you see the possible repercussions of nutrient deficiencies?
And have you ever heard of the eight necessary carbohydrates? This is a relatively new discovery, but I’ll give you a hint: they facilitate cell-to-cell communication within the body. You could even call it the missing piece of the puzzle.
Question #2: Is Your Body Getting What It Needs?
Do you think there’s a chance you may not be getting everything you need? I know what you’re thinking; “I eat a balanced diet so why do I have to worry about nutritional deficiencies, right?
Consider this: many fruits and vegetables are genetically modified, grown in chemical fertilizers, sprayed with pesticides and herbicides, picked green, irradiated, preserved and cooked. And that’s the fruits and vegetables!
According to an analysis conducted by The Globe and Mail and CTV News, July 6 2002
“Vital vitamins and minerals have dramatically declined in some of our most popular foods, including potatoes, tomatoes, bananas and apples . . . the story is similar for 25 fruits and vegetables that were analyzed.”
Is it possible we’re suffering from nutritional deficiency on a mass scale?
Side 2 Of The Wellness Coin
There are two other major factors that may be working against you and your health. The first one is that we’ve in essence exchanged nutrition for chemicals:
The “natural, whole foods” that we are told to eat to keep us healthy are in reality under chemical warfare, chemicals which ultimately make their way into each of us.
“There are more than 75,000 synthetic chemicals in our environment today that were not present before 1940″. – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Chemicals are everywhere: there is mercury in fillings; aluminum in deodorant; trans fats, MSG and preservatives in food; growth hormones and antibiotic’s in meat and chloride and fluoride in the water supply.
Even many of the vitamin supplements we take in an effort to gain or maintain health, are synthetic.
Now what do you think will be the result of all those chemicals accumulating in your body everyday? And do you think the body’s ability to deal with this assault is improved or hampered by being nutrient deficient?
And we’re not done yet.
With the body in a weakened state, there arises another potential contributing factor to the increase in illness and disease. We are all under constant attack from bacteria, viruses, pathogens and parasites.
In short, do you think that the trio combination of nutritional deficiency, toxic overload and continuous pathogen attack might have something to do with poor health? Maybe, just maybe the reason we’re all getting sick is not simply genetics, age, improved diagnostics or just plain bad luck as we’ve been told.
You Have A Choice
After reading this, doesn’t the big health care plan that is concerned mainly about insurance coverage seem seriously inadequate?
We really need to start asking the right questions. Instead of, “How can I get my drugs cheaper?” we need to ask, “What is causing this problem?” Instead of waiting for the cure, we need to ask, “What can I do to improve my health today?”
What we really need is a paradigm shift in thinking…
From Sickness Management To Health Freedom
