I came across a great article that describes what I have come to understand about the Health Care Industry here in America. The bottom line is that they have been inventing diseases and lowering the numbers that determine when someone is at risk for disease. Unfortunately, the medical care professionals in this country are paid more when people become sick, and they make no money when people are well. This provides a powerful incentive for health care professionals to treat diseases and to increase the disease rate.
Whether this is done consciously, subconsciously, or ignorantly, the result is the same for the patient--a round of pharmaceutical drugs and/or expensive (and often painful and dangerous) high-tech treatments. Most of these 'treatments' usually lead the patient down the pharmaceutical and treatment downward spiral. The patient's health usually continues on a gradual downward spiral that eventually culminates with a painful death.
The simple lesson to be learned is that YOU are the person who cares the most about your own health. Others simply cannot be trusted unless they can demonstrate to you that they are open-minded enough to seek alternatives to pharmaceutical or allopathic approaches to disease abatement. Your very life could be at stake. I would recommend that you begin to study health, disease, and alternative treatment methods. I'm not saying that all alternative treatment methods fail to work, but I am saying that the allopathic (M.D.) paradigm is not well suited for all diseases. Allopathic philosophy is excellent for emergency and trauma medicine, but is totally crappy for systemic diseases, degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer treatment.
Even if you don't do any research on your own, at least become a knowledgable patient. Remember--NOBODY is going to feel as strongly about the quality of your health as you do! Nor is anyone going to be more affected by any health care treatments that you decide to undergo than you. It's up to YOU to insure that you are receiving the best treatment that you can get. The doctor and/or hospital can always get another patient, but you can't get another life!
P.S.: Be sure to check out the links in the article because they will lead you to a lot more in-depth information on some of the concepts that I've presented in this article.

The War on Vitamins
Your friendly elected sellout government congressmen are serving the 'Big Pharma' interests by trying to legislate HR 3156, which will basically villify and regulate harmless dietary supplements. This is because people are finally getting sick and tired of being poisoned by the expensive, side-effect-laden pharmaceutical chemicals that doctors are so quick to dispense. Now, over 50% of people now dabble in natural treatments for diseases. It is affecting the exorbitant profits being made by the Big Pharma interests. Of course, the government is in bed with the big corporations. Our interests are not being addressed. Why else would the government work to regulate vitamins and nutritional supplements when an infintesimal percentage of people who use them have been injured? Literally hundreds of millions of people have been injured and/or killed by pharmaceutical drugs, many of which have never been the subject of any studies proving that they are safe for human consumption. Vioxx is just one of the debacles brought to us by Big Pharma. The list could go on for quite some time. The basic deal is that the 'Powers-That-Be' do not want us to be healthy. If they did, they would not permit the AMA cartel to single-handedly control the administration of health care in America. It's time for us to fight for our right to supplement our diets in any way we want! We are NOT the property of the state, regardless of how much they want to control us! They don't have our best interests at heart. Do something now to preserve our rights!
