A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here |
Medicine impending danger to the public is that it is going to take over every aspect of our lives.
Medicine
Medicine is the looming giant is our mists. There isn’t a human function that can’t be made better by a prescription. From pregnancy, ADHD, toenail fungus, erectile dysfunction, dry eye, pre-diabetes, pre-high blood pressure, pre-high cholesterol readings, behavior problems, bed wetting, pain relief, sleep aids, acid reflux, depression, addictions, constipation, and rashes.
The recent history of allopathic care is one that has evolved to define and treat everything as a medical problem. Most common conditions can be traced to lifestyle. As such are not meant to be treated as medical afflictions. The medical community is standing guard over every human function by introducing pharmaceutical solutions.
Research Into The Cost
Researchers, let by Brandeis sociologist Peter Conrad, evaluated 12 conditions that have been medicalized by physical organizations, and for which there were medical spending data. The other conditions considered in the study were anxiety, and behavioral disorders; body image; male pattern baldness’ normal sadness, obesity, sleep disorders, and substance-related disorders.
Conrad and his colleagues analyzed medical spending on these types of problems. The payments to hospitals, pharmacies, physicians, and other health care providers, and discovered that they accounted for $77.1 billion in medical spending in 2005-3.9 percent of total domestic health care expenditures.
”We spend more on these conditions than on cancer, heart disease, or public health,” said Conrad. “While medicalzation is unlikely to be a key driver of skyrocketing health care costs, $77 billion represents a substantial dollar sum.”
The Danger Of This Trend
The danger of this trend is in medicine’s growing jurisdiction.
Children can be taken away from parents and put into the states custody if the parents refuse certain treatments.
There is an increase in consumer demands for medical solutions for lifestyle generated problems. More Americans think that health is in an encapsulated, blister packed, shrink and cello wrapped substance. They want the fountain of youth coming from the latest technology. The new consumers think the right ingredients are in packaged cartons with label warnings. What’s in it for the pharmaceutical company is unlimited opportunity to boost their bottom line. Novel approaches to health are not in a tube, pill, or formulation.
The pharmaceutical industry is expanding into the areas where they see a potential profit, and where there is the greatest opportunity for growth.
When $77 billion is considered unlikely to be a key driver of skyrocketing health care cost, than the spending is out of hand. Our dependence on a pharmaceutical solution is hands down one of the biggest threats to our physical and financial health.
