The Healthcare System
The problem with our healthcare system is that it is not set
up to prevent but only to diagnose those that are already sick. Unfortunately
most doctors are only taught how to diagnose not prevent. A statistic that
really illustrates this problem is taken from the National Cancer Institute’s
latest Cancer Statistics Report. Fortunately the cancer death rate is
going down but the cancer incident rate is going up in the United States. Its
good that we are getting better at battling cancer but it’s bad that we are getting
worse at prevention.
Its my belief that the increase incident rate is causal to
the ever decreasing nutritional value of our food. Artificial ingredients, fortification
with synthetic vitamin isolates and poorer farming practices all lead to lower
nutritional content. On top of that the
increasing use of pesticides and food additives that are known to be carcinogens are making our
food more toxic requiring our bodies to deplete it’s resources to expel the
toxins draining it's ability to fight off disease. If you don’t think those pesticides are making it into our bodies from
the farmer’s field, think again!
I’m afraid that our
population’s health is going to get worse with the FDA allowing GMOs into our
food supply. It seems that those that
the FDA are suppose to be protecting have been overlooked because of the
blinding power of money. Some 26 countries have banned the use of GMOs why
haven’t we?
If the health of our people continues to weaken it will
continue to put stress on the fragile financial well being of our country. I
appreciate the discussion of taking care of our planet, by the administration,
but don’t understand that that conversation does not include the ecological and
financial destruction that pesticides pose.
If you agree with prevention over just diagnosis try to find an MD (Medical Doctor) that has also been trained in the holistic field of nutrients and their positive effects on our bodies.
If you oppose the use of GMOs and pesticides go to www.organicconsumers.org to help the
cause.
Don’t Risk Your Health to the Uncertainty of Synthetic
Vitamins! Or GMOs!!
Cheers! Live long, exercise, hydrate and get your nutrients!
