Health care in America doesn’t support health. Health care has adopted a very clear way of delivering wellness. It bypasses Mother Nature and goes to work interfering with natural healing.

Scary Health Care

There is an updated joint guideline by the American Society of Hematology (ASH) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) about the appropriate use of erythropiesis- stimulating agents (ESAs), a class of drugs that stimulate the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, to treat cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia. While the guideline cautions that ESAs are associated with shorter survival and increased risk of thromboembolism-blood clots-and tumor progression, it also recognizes their major benefit of reducing the need for red blood cell transfusions, which can potentially cause serious infections and adverse reactions in the immune system.

Enough said lets try something different, which will make a substantial impact on the condition. It is becoming increasingly clear that the battle is being fought on the wrong front, with the wrong weapons, and the wrong idea of what the enemy looks like.

What medicine does is try to reinvent the wheel. They are engaging a battle with a condition they don’t even understand. Without the answers to a few basic questions you can’t actually expect to come up with productive solutions. Healing is not a matter of going to war, but identifying and rectifying a condition. You have to support the immune system not destroy it.

It seems like the health care industry is on autopilot, they aren’t transformers of health, but Kamikazes. They are bent on destruction of a tumor at any costs, to the point of putting the patient in great jeopardy.

Healing is an Amazing Journey

What you do right now makes tomorrow. Most health problems are what you did before. Understanding this simple concept eludes the medical community.

To feel better now you have to be and act better now. Instead of trying to kill the messenger, you balance your body back to health.

What the medical profession doesn’t strive for is giving you the best quality and quantity of life. They don’t know how to. What you inhale, ingest, and absorb are every bit a part of the picture.

The common co-defendants are what is on your dinner plate, prescriptions, air pollution, stress level, and chemical exposure. So chemo isn’t detoxification it is a powerful response to a weaken condition. Now it will add discomfort, constipation, depression, memory loss, nausea, hair loss, and a host of other problems. Long lasting health, vitality and stamina are not a chemo formula away.       

Drugs are a prescription for disaster for both the patient and the planet.  In Worcester, Mass the Drug Enforcement Administration coordinated a one day effort to clean out the areas medicine cabinets. Vicodin, Percocct, and Lorazapam, which are taken for anxiety, were among the drugs collected with other medications that had been sitting in people’s bathrooms for decades.

People brought bags of pills including types of powerful painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs. This program was coordinated by the Drug Enforcement Administration which is coordinating the program nation wide. The goal was to empty homes of legal, but dangerous drugs that the authorities say are driving addiction and crime around the country.

The collected drugs will be incinerated instead of flushed down the toilets, which can release them into the water way. Think of it this way tap water may hold the key to pain and anxiety relief.

Medicine is What Ails You

Medicine is what ails you, because pharmacology is the market driver of health care. Embracing this new approach to health is causing the business landscape to prosper, while hampering our health, and destroying our natural environment. The environment impact will linger on for generations.

Avoiding medication means the solution to health care has to take a 360 degree turn. Fuzzy thinking and greed has brought us to this point. The human body has an untapped potential for healing, and every drug used on a long term basis dampers that possibility.

Prescription Revolution

The prescription revolution means we have to thing outside the bottle, and explore the world of natural healing. Medicine is an alarmist; all it does is tout the dangers of almost everything. Our systems are always in a state of flux. Blood pressure changes by the hour, sugar may spike, an ache or pain may pop up. What we have to do is connect each symptom to what we are doing and then gear up a plan for change. There are bumps and dips in our health, however taking pills make it harder for our systems to go up or down on their own.

Green and natural living is the foundation for true health. Health is an inside job, pills may have ingenious advertising to back them up, but pills can’t clear the way for optimal health.

The war on drugs should begin here in your medicine cabinet. This will help you avoid more problems than what you are being treated for. Just because it is refillable doesn’t mean you should.

There is growing skepticism about whether the FDA is making the right decisions and making them appropriately. People can’t depend on what the FDA decides since drug safety doesn’t have tight restrictions.  Not the kind than really mean anything to the average user.

Medications results are not as simple as black and white. Diabetes medications may get the numbers to look right, but they add nothing to longevity. Only a change of lifestyle can help with overall health. If the drug companies had to report past experiences to make new drug sales they would be losing business. However, a consumer with a short memory is what they count on.

The flagging sales of a drug means they just have to reposition it. They also have to find ways to built fiction into fact. The biggest investment for pharmaceuticals may be the job of getting the right advertisement, marketing, and lobbying. The pharmaceutical footprint is found in our waterways, soil, and livers.

In all fairness there is a case for acute care drugs. However, the money is in long term use for chronic condition. The expanded market reach calls for some reflection. The current trend is to depend on chemicals to change everything in our lives.

Staying involved in your own health is the most effective way to prevent the need for medical intervention. The future will see a dramatic increase in our dependence on unnatural substances to give us natural health.  

The truth is until the war on drugs start in our medicine chest, we will never win the war on illegal substances. Most illegal dug use is the kind than comes from a growing dependency on pills to solve our problems. Our kids get high on it and adults need higher doses more often to get any results.

Thinking ourside the pills, powder and liquids that dominate our everyday existence means exploring natural living. Before you can dump the pills you have to first stop what made you ill in the first place. Creating a healthy lifestyle means blasting your system with vitamins, minerals through good nutrition. There are many foods and some herbs that can stimulate, regenerate, protect, and saturate your body with powerful nutrients.

The war on drugs begins when one gets right to work on their own lifestyle.
