Have you noticed a drug store on basically every corner in America? I might be exaggerating, but it's not that far off. There are a lot of these chains all over the country. I believe they are getting ready for the largest wave to hit them, ever. It's the "Baby Boomer's" that are moving in and the demand for medications is growing.
Maybe these chains know something we don't know. What we do know is that every day 10,000 people are turning 65. If you were like most Americans and continued eating the food in the food supply, there is a good chance you will end up with some illness or disease. Why? It is due to the chemicals and toxins that are invading our environment.
Prescriptions are big business as is the entire "Health Care System". I mean think about it, how many Doctor's, Hospitals and Urgent Care facilities are out there? Think about all the other businesses in the industry like, medical transportation, nursing homes, in home services, physical therapists and the list goes on and on. As Americans are getting older the need for these services becomes critical.
What if we could effect change in this industry by creating better health? What if more and more people began to take responsibility for their health? I believe we can do just that, but it is going to take courage, action and a great deal of education. Educating people that there is another way to get healthy than to go to a doctor and mask the illness with medication.
The reason there are so many Pharmacies in the country, basically on every corner, is because people need to be on medication every month and the BIG Pharma companies are banking on it. They are making sure that you need to take your medications every month for the rest of your life!! The average American takes two prescriptions every month. Ever wonder why these companies do Billions of dollars a year in sales? I don't. It is because they have you by the short hairs into believing that you NEED these drugs to feel better and live longer.
I am on a mission to change that. Education plays a big part in changing people's thought process when it comes to medication. Wouldn't it make more sense to eat a better diet than to take pills? And yet, we are not really taught the proper way to eat and that is due to massive marketing from the food industry. Well, there is another little issue, and that is our parents. I don't believe that as parents we are doing a good enough job in educating our children of the proper way to eat.
Many factors come into play in today's world which include convenience and cost. We live such busy lives that we are all looking for ways to reduce our food costs and the time it takes to eat. What do most Americans do? Fast food or foods that are highly processed and have less than the normal amount of nutrition in a daily recommended allowance. I'm being nice because there is basically ZERO nutrition in these foods, not to mention the chemicals.
There is a solution and I have found it. I was open enough to try the "7 Day Challenge" and it has changed my life. I am no longer on any medications and I contribute that to my diet of nutrient dense super food. The Pharmaceutical companies are going to have to find someone else to get money from because I no longer need one of their stores on every corner. How about you? Are you ready to try something new?
