It seems to me that who administers our health care system should not be our highest priority. But I will go on record as one who does not feel the government should take over that responsibility.
As a survivor of Crohn's Disease for over 43 years, I have learned that toxic pharmaceuticals, pesticides, preservatives and other additives in our foods have caused more problems than any illness I have ever encountered. The greed and misuse of trust in our present health system has played a great part in causing illness and keeping the American people ill. Keeping us alive is one thing, but our quality of life is quite another.
Our first priority should be to realize the prepaganda in almost all phases of our society, which teaches us that our only proper health alternative is pharmaceuticals. The rising costs of these pharmaceuticals is prohibitive in many cases.
Very insidious tactics are being used to gradually take away our natural health supplements such as fish oil and nano silver. Scientific evidence shows their effectiveness without any toxic additives, i.e., a lack of omega-3 oils can cause depression in children.
Pharmaceutial companies are crafting prescription fish oil and prescription nano silver products so that they can sell a toxic product at much higher prices to insurance companies. The natural products should be considered by doctors and suggested to insurance companies by doctors. It would be in the insurance companies best interest to pay for them at a much lower cost rather than allow the pharmaceutical companies so much power.
Right now I consider the pharmaceutical companies to be more damaging than the cigarette companies were. What is the difference in what cigarette companies did and what pharmaceutical companies are doing? It seems they have taken over the medical schools and the FDA. This is where we need to start.
We also need to consider our great problem with food additives that are toxic. How many toxins are tested on rats at one time? If you read the labels, you will note we eat 20 to 30 additives in a meal, many of which are toxic chemicals. Do researchers combine 20 to 30 toxins to test how much damage is done to a rat? The only cure for Cancer may be to quit consuming so many toxins. Let's try that on our children and see how healthy they become.
