How to solve the healthcare crisis in America
There are too many drugs, too much surgery and little to show for it. The more drugs we take, the sicker we are.
We need to change our approach towards health.
The medical approach is bankrupting us and we're not getting health in return. Much of medical care involves waiting until someone is broken and then going to a doctor to get a name for it and drugs to suppress the symptoms.
Is there an alternative? There sure is! It's called chiropractic maintenance care (MC) - visiting your chiropractor periodically to keep healthy. Does it work? There are many studies revealing the physical and mental/emotional benefits of seeing a chiropractor. Look at this study of individuals 65 years of age and older that revealed that those under maintenance chiropractic care had:
- Reduced nervousness
- Possible reduced depression
- 50% reduction in medical visits
- The need for hospitalization ... was 1/3 of people of the same age.
Want to solve the healthcare crisis that is bankrupting the country? Give everyone chiropractic care. The result will be less drug taking, less surgery and greater health. Wouldn't everyone want their parents and grandparents to have healthy spines and bodies with no subluxations damaging their nerves? (1)
Statin drugs (i.e. Lipitor™, Zocor™) lower testosterone
and sexual function
Statin therapy prescribed to lower cholesterol also appears to lower testosterone, according to a new study that evaluated nearly 3,500 men who had erectile dysfunction or ED. Researchers were shocked to discover that men on statins were twice as likely to have low testosterone.
Statins are among the most popular drugs in medicine with the number of people buying them (i.e. Lipitor or Zocor) rising 88% from 2000 to 2005. Thirty (30) million people are taking these unnecessary, useless and dangerous drugs says the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
The mechanism of action is not known. However it is known that cholesterol is needed for testosterone production. To this we say: "Duh." (2)
Post script: Low-fat, low-cholesterol diets are killing people and making their lives miserable. For good health make sure you eat organic foods such as eggs, butter, raw milk and other healthy fats and oils and avoid canola oil, soy oil, corn oil and other cheap, processed vegetable oils (extra virgin olive and coconut are good oils). Avoid processed carbohydrates and non-organic fruits and vegetables.

The Mafia and the flu shot
Was Mafia Boss Gambino killed by his enemies when they convinced him to get a swine flu shot? Time magazine reported: "Unverified Mob talk last week went so far as to suggest that Galente ordered his spies within the Gambino family to persuade the capo di tutti capi to take a swine-flu shot, knowing that a frail individual with a heart ailment and hardening of the arteries might succumb. According to federal sources, Gambino did get his flu shot shortly before his death." (3)
Skin cancer rates rising at record pace
(so get some sun and avoid sunscreens)
Experts are not always right.
Experts told Columbus the world was flat. Experts told the Beatles that their sound wouldn't sell. Experts said that 256K memory was enough for everyone.
Now we have experts again spewing nonsense.
What nonsense? Experts say that we should avoid the sun. Lots of people have been concealing themselves from the sun's rays, and are slathering on the gooey mess known as sunscreen.
However ...
Researchers are telling us that skin cancer cases have increased 77% between 1992 and 2006, and they're still increasing by 4.2% annually. And this is after $billions are spent on sunscreen.
If the sun were really causing skin cancer, and if sunscreen prevented it, cancer wouldn't be increasing, it would be decreasing. Look around - only a few decades ago people were not so scared of the sun and spent far more time getting bathed in its rays - and skin cancer was practically unheard of.
Avoid sunscreen. Save your money and don't purchase this useless, dangerous product. Think of it like the flu shot - a dumb idea.
People with the highest levels of vitamin D have the lowest risk of skin cancer. Vitamin D is also correlated to less depression, a reduced likelihood of getting many different kinds of cancer, a healthier immune system and improved endocrine and hormone levels. And where has humanity traditionally gotten Vitamin D? From the sun, of course.
Sunscreen is dangerous. First of all sunscreen blocks the sun and prevents you from making vitamin D. In addition, putting on sunscreen gives you a false sense of security that you can stay out longer, increasing the chances you will burn.
Also, the ingredients in sunscreen have been linked to cancer, birth defects and sex problems. Where do you think that stuff goes when you put it on? It goes through your skin into your inner parts.
Enjoy the sun and get lots of vitamin D. You'll be healthier and happier. Just use some common sense and don't burn. Most people will simply get a nice tan after a few days - a sign that the sun loves you and you're getting a lot of what your body needs to be healthy.
