Bill Maher Understands the Woo Factor in Medicine
Bill Maher understands the woo factor in medicine, and has proved it time and time again. From interviews on Larry King, to political satire, he has shown an understanding of the underpinnings of the legal drug culture.
I have seen the incredulous looks of newscasters, and other well known personalities as he talked about the dangers of vaccination. His take on the American diet is right on.
There are many posts that seem to say that Bill Maher spreads woo to the American public. What he does is set the record straight. He is left of center, and that sometimes is misunderstood. Conservatism in this case is keeping the status quo, so those in power can work the crowd.
The news commentary shows have an advertising base that pulls the strings. Pharmaceuticals and processed food make up much of the advertising dollars. It is rare that you have a newscaster with enough knowledge to know that there is a problem with not just the health care industry, but the whole premise of drugs for health.
If anyone ever watched a pharmaceutical ad it is obvious that something is wrong. If anything Bill Maher is the true conservative. He is saying take care of your own health, so you don’t have to rely on radical treatments.
Is Bill really a true conservative?
Statin Combination
New research published in the American Journal of cardiology claims that fast food restaurants should give out statins to counter the effects of fatty foods. Fast food and statins are the new proposed combination plate.
Statin dangers
The statin pill can be as risky as the cheeseburger. Statins deplete your body of nutrients that you need to help the heart function. Statins have serious side effects. It can damage the liver, pancreas and muscles.
However, the reason some doctors give for not endorsing this idea, is that it would encourage people to lead unhealthy lives. This would mean that they would be at a higher risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.
This is the case of dumb and dumber. The logic from each side can only be understood from a medical perspective. The issue here; treat everything with a pharmaceutical. In other words mask the problem.
When the cholesterol numbers are lower and the diet is the same junk, you wind up without any benefit from the pills. The drugs don’t cut the rate of adverse events; it just makes the numbers look better. The second part of the problem isn’t the fat, but the carbs in the form or processed flour, and sugar. Diabetes risk is manly a processed food problem, not a fat one.
Junk Food Junky
People are hooked on the taste of fast food. Giving them drugs with the meal isn’t going to solve anything. It would compound the problem, there would be two dangers, instead of one. Only the medical community with a drug company’s education could come up with anything this ridiculous.
Cancer the Business
Cancer the Business has access to a huge market full of opportunities If you ever wanted untold wealth enter into the world of cancer treatment. It costs the world economy nearly $3 trillion dollars every year. This costs study was carried out by The American Cancer Society and Livestronger®.
The report written by American Cancer Society researches Rijo M. John, PhD, director of international tobacco control research, and Hans Ross, PhD, strategic director of international tobacco control research, reveals that cancer has the largest economic impact.
Lets see how long has the war on cancer has been going on. Evidently not long enough. Cutting to the chase this is one heck of a profitable condition. With the stakes so high a cure isn’t around the corner. The state of the industry depends on this revenue stream.
Consumer confidence should be at an all time low. However, when this is the only game in town it is a sustainable business model. This comes from is having fostered a fear based culture around the condition. The entrepreneurial spirit lives and thrives in the creation of pharmaceutical products to treat this. The approach is the same old, same old one. It is fueled by the creation of one drug after another.
Product Development
New product development comes from the pharmaceutical companies that are looking to foster long term growth for the industry. People suffer, but are not top priority. For if they were the one thing they wouldn’t want are repeat sales.
But, feeling good is not the name of the game. Boosting the immune system wasn’t even a topic of discussion until recently. What treatment does at this time is escalate the cost and suffering. This is a doom and gloom outlook, considering that Cancer isn’t an external factor, but an inside job.
Cancer means some tough decisions, and you can’t go ahead and make them without all the facts. The whole purpose of Your Health Updates is to inform. We know who has some valuable information that needs to be seen and heard.
We need a shift in how we think about his condition, and the people on the front lines are the ones that teach about health and wellness. From Mike Adam, Doug Kaufmann, David Wolfe, and others who only talk about nutrition. The medical doctors, researches, and centers on the forefront of successfully helping people heal make up a whole other list.
Believe it or not, many people have turned this condition around themselves. They realized that lifestyle is the most important factor.
