"Adverse drug reactions put 2.2 million people in hospitals each year and 106,000 die, "making these reactions between the fourth and sixth leading cause of death." Journal of American Medical Assoc, 4-15-1998
"199,000 people died at home according to the Western J Med. June, 2000. So deaths in and outside of hospitals from prescription drugs totaled 305,000 a year with 8 million admissions to the hospital and 3 million for long-term care (nursing homes - not able to return home)."
I believe we are experiencing a health care crisis. And with the implementation of the new mandated government health care, I personally believe the crisis is only going to get worse.
USA Today reported that Americans spent $320 billion on prescription drugs in 2011, and yet we still have some of the highest rates of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases in the world. More drugs does not equal better health. If it did, then those with the most drugs would be the healthiest.
The Father of Modern Medicine, Sir William Osler, stated, "Far too large a section of the treatment of disease is today controlled by the big manufacturing pharmacists, who have enslaved us in a plausible pseudo-science...We take into our bodies that which we know little about, drugs that we know less about, to treat diseases that we know nothing about."
My personal conviction is that it is time to choose to take steps to improve our health naturally and effectively. Prevention is the best way to avoid becoming a pharmaceutical statistic. Do you believe that there are abuses and moral dilemmas with health insurance, Obamacare and the HHS mandate? You can bring about change by simply being healthy.
What if you didn’t need health care because you were never sick? What if you didn’t take medications and drugs because you were healthy? What would happen to the trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry and their power to influence public policy, especially their power to decide who can and cannot receive medical care?
Taking steps to improve health is about improving your own life personally, which of course would lead to better interaction with your family, friends, and community. But can you see how it would also influence our nation? In our consumer society where money speaks, your dollars could promote better growing practices, healthier products and natural options. Your dollar would trickle into the hands of those that are the pioneers in natural healing.
As your own health improves, others will ask what you're doing and will join you in this new lifestyle. Slowly, the statistics in our country will change until the momentum builds and natural healing again becomes the first line of defense. I have a dream...and it can happen.
I would love to know what steps you are taking to make a difference, both in your own health and in our culture. Share an idea or two...
