Doctors Office

I'm sure you have been to a doctor's office before. You usually have to wait beyond your appointment time to see the doctor. While you are sitting there your mind is probably racing. Some people start to think about how rude it is that they have to wait. Some people would like to send the doctor a bill for their time waiting for him or her. When I go to the doctor, I like to observe people that are waiting.


Please keep in mind that I only go to the doctor twice a year. That is to get a blood test to check some of my bio markers. I had a complete genetic workup in Nov. of last year. My last test was about 2 weeks ago and they came back in unbelievable shape. I'm living proof that a diet loaded with nutrition and powerful antioxidants can make a huge difference in your life. I'm no longer taking a statin drug or high blood pressure medication. As a side note, that was under my doctors supervision. The good thing is that I found a natureopathic cardiologist who believes treating the root cause is the way to go.


So, I'm sitting in the office and observe people all around the room and I realize one thing. These people are  there because they have an issue with their health. Then I start to think that this is only one small office in the  of tens of thousands of offices in the country and they all have people sitting in the waiting room because their sick. I didn't even mention the hospitals and urgent cares and the list goes on of people waiting somewhere in a disease care facility.


We are a sick society and we are getting sicker. The next time you're in the doctors office just observe people that are waiting. If everyone of these people sitting there took responsibility for their health then they probably wouldn't be there. So many of the issues we face today have to do with the food we eat. In this country we feed animals more grain than we do to Americans. The bad part of that is the grain is genetically modified. Our cows and chickens are eating things they shouldn't be eating and then passing that on to us: "You are what you eat".


We are the smartest country in the world and yet we can't educate people on the dangers of the food in our food supply. I wish the mass media would report on this, but it appears they have an agenda, as well as the food giants and the government.


Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that we have doctors in this country. I'm just saying that our waiting rooms could have NO WAITING, if more people took responsibility for their health. What does that look like? How about for starters, no smoking, no soda, no sugar, no gmos, no excuses! So many people I talk to say they want to feel better. They all say they want better health, but actions speak louder than words.


I think it comes down to this....do you want to live a long healthy life with little or no maladies or do you want to end up in the doctor's office all the time because what they are doing for you is NOT working. One thing will lead to another and then you'll be spending your time trying to get well instead of being well and enjoying your life. I started my transformation with the "7 Day Challenge". You can start there or anywhere you want, but just start!! Stay out of the doctors office except to get your blood work.
