A Disease Care System

Not too many people would look at our health care system and say it is working really well. Then again, compared to other countries it is not too bad, just expensive. The scary thing is that it is about to get more expensive if Obamacare goes through. Imagine waiting months to get any testing done or to schedule a surgery 6 months in advance. This is a subject for another post.

Right now I want to concentrate on our Disease Care system. I know that looks funny and sounds funny, but basically that is what we currently have in this country. A health care system to me would be people that are responsible for their health and maintain good habits regarding food and exercise. In our country we don't have that because as I have mentioned before there is no money in preventative health care. So we have to settle for a disease care system.

So, Jay, what is a disease care system? This is where you don't teach and help people prevent disease and illness, but rather wait until there is disease and illness before you treat the symptoms. This system is worth billions of dollars on an annual basis and is doesn't appear that there is an end in sight. If we shifted from a disease system to a true health system then industries would be shut down and it would create massive layoffs in so many areas that it would be very scary.

If the US wants to lower health care costs then they have to be willing to look into natural cures for many ailments like cancer. There are so many proven treatments for cancer and yet every time someone wants to promote them they get shut down. Remember the almighty dollar is the key to our complete system when it should be the health and welfare of its citizens. The pharmaceutical companies are so large and powerful that they can  make or break any new technique or drug that comes to market. Look up Stanislav Burzynski and his clinic www.burzynskiclinic.com/ . He has a huge success rate for inoperable brain cancer and yet the government has gone after him with a vengeance which included 4 grand juries to shut him down. His treatments do not harm the patients as chemo would and his stats on healing people are above average.

Until this country can let go of the money that is poured into this system we will always be at the mercy of the system. What happened to morals and integrity? Saving lives with new treatments and techniques that don't cost a lot of money and don't harm patients is a true health care system. It appears that we will be stuck with this disease system for many years to come. I believe that we are close to changing things in this country because pretty soon the people will seek out these innovative treatments and begin to believe that there are alternatives to drugs and surgery for survival. I feel a movement brewing and it will only get stronger, but it will take courage from the people to make it a reality. If nothing else, please do your own research before you listen to your doctor or at least get second opinions. Most doctors don't believe in any other system except their own. Not all doctors are like this, but ask your doctor if there are any natural alternatives to treat your illness and see what they say. You might be shocked to find out that they do not believe in any talk of natural cures. You have a choice...it is your life!
