The current health care crisis in
United States is
result of compound errors. The first, not understanding that what we call health care is not health care at all. It is actually a disease management system that treats symptoms and ignores causes, which remain unknown to
20th Century medical establishment. In other words, medicine is not about health, it is about disease, or
absence of health. Most often, if disease is cured at all, and it usually is not, health is not a result of
cure. The idea that drugs, surgery and radiation cure disease is a false one, sold to
public by robber drug companies and medical bureaucrats. These people have no interest in controlling costs to
consumer but in maximizing profits and incomes. It is not about health but
business of disease. There is no incentive to cure anyone. The incentive is to cause complications and side effects that keep patients seeking treatment for a lifetime.
Toxemia is
chief cause of disease. Nutritional deficiencies are next. We are taking poisons and chemicals into our bodies through
air we breathe,
liquids we drink and
foods we eat. Science and technology have plunged us into a sea of poison. For every combination of poisons there are different symptoms of different disease. Modern doctors treat poisoning by prescribing expensive new poisons that create new diseases and symptoms. Privately, they just scratch their heads. Publicly, they insist that
right combination of poisons will solve our problems. We only need to take new medicines until we find
right combination or we die in
attempt to cure.
Governments decrease poisons like lead and mercury in our environment and with industry create a hundred new ones. It will take centuries to clean up our environment until we learn to live without all these poisons we are told make life better.
Toxins are often cumulative and reactive to other toxins. Hence we need to cleanse our bodies of accumulations on a regular basis. We can choose foods, herbs and dietary supplements that detoxify our bodies of many poisons or minimize
damage they cause. We can cleanse vital organs like our colons, livers, kidneys, gall bladders and blood using good information that is readily available in health literature.
We change
oil, fuel, filters, and fluids in our cars because they become contaminated and will cause problems if we don't adhere to factory scheduled maintenance procedures. Does it make less sense to do
same for our own bodies? If we won't do
maintenance ourselves, who will do it? In truth, there are health practices around
world, where
focus is detoxification and body maintenance. Look for information about cleansing and detoxification.
Cleansing can be an unpleasant experience, like medicine was in
first half of
last century, or like shoveling out
family outhouse before indoor plumbing. Once you have done it, you notice improvements in all kinds of health complaints and regular maintenance is much more pleasant. After major cleansing, dietary cleansing is both attractive and effective.
Unless we enjoy cleansing and we might, it makes sense to reduce our exposure to environmental poisons. Common sense tells us we are usually much less exposed if we do not live in cities, where poisons are much more highly concentrated. No matter where we choose to live, we can do a lot to reduce our exposure in our home environment.
We can buy effective filters to remove chlorine from our household water supply, for a relatively low cost. Because we bathe in hot water that opens our pores and breathe
steam from hot water, especially in showers, it is better to filter
entire supply than to simply clean our drinking water. No matter what public water utilities say, they are not to be trusted. They usually poison your water to protect you from bacteria and virus. Trading biological poisons for chemical poison is
height of foolishness. Filtration systems vary widely in price and
range of toxins they will remove from utility water. There are very good drinking water systems at a reasonable cost and fairly easy to maintain. Many health authorities claim distilled water is
best for drinking. Distillers are usually electric and require about 2500 watts per gallon. Solar distillers are available in various capacities and can be home built.
