Living Longer Enjoying it Less
Living longer enjoying it less sums up the high price of medical advances. The problem is with our reliance on pharmaceuticals, and procedures, instead of a healthy lifestyle.
Old Age
Old age isn’t the problem; it is the way we age. We are told thanks to the marvels of modern science we are living longer than ever. Adults over 80 are the fastest growing segment of the population. Also, this group will spend their years needing help from others, and suffer from loss of independence. This is called the new old age, because the generations before did not have this opportunity to reach their eighties.
The Truth
These are fabrications of the truth. In the past generations there were strong and independent robust elderly citizens. What really has happened is we cut down on infections and disease by increased sanitation. We can operate and save lives, and have antibiotics for acute infections.
However, these procedures and drugs do not make robust health. Life extension is the product of some of the technological advances we have made. The formula for a healthy old age is really unchanged. A good lifestyle, faith, social contacts, and a optimistic view. What is different, those with a poor lifestyle and lots of blocked arteries are offered procedures that weren’t available until now.
Taking advantage of these procedures doesn’t mean we obtained better health. Better health through technology really means that what you are missing diet wise is made up thought medical intervention.
Breakthroughs
With all the breakthroughs in diagnostic tools, we seem to just find more wrong. Rates for all so called diseases have escalated. Yet, we are not any nearer to solving the problems. Handing out drugs, chemo, dialysis, stents, stomach stapling, laxatives, sleep aids, and tranquilizers are not health aids, they are band aids.
Our breakthroughs are shockingly short termed and are missing the point. What’s inside us is not so insufficient that at every turn it needs to be resuscitated. It comes with an implicit warranty, which states under normal use everything should perform well.
Aging
Aging brings with it a sub-total of everything we put in and exposed our bodies to including nutrition, thoughts, stress, and medications. Genetics are reflected in the lifestyle choices we made. Aging is like a bank account, what you put in is what you can withdraw. These are not randomized experiences. It is well known if you are obese than you will have a higher rate of disability as you age.
Chronic conditions of aging are tied to lifestyle, and the sooner that fact is realized the less medical intervention will be needed. Most symptoms that are blamed on aging are lifestyle issues. It is not uncommon for someone in their 40’s to be told what they are experiencing is normal aging.
With this amount of misinformation it is no surprise that people expect a decline in health with age. It is ignorant to think of the 40’s, 50’s and beyond as anything but prime time.
Conclusion
Living longer enjoying it less seems to be an outcome of our medical mentality. The national pastime among seniors seems to be running to doctors. From one specialist to another, it is a never ending cycle. The one thing to get straight is in a few instances it is necessary, For most a lifestyle change, more nutrition, activity, less prescriptions, more outdoors, and weight management will go a long way in producing favorable gene expression.
Research shows that lifestyle has a synergistic effect on biological activity and the functioning of human cells. To optimize energy output as you age it is necessary to have access to optimal nutrition, sunlight, and activities that are health promoting. Health care providers do not prevent diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular problems; they can only try to inhibit the process from causing havoc. Examining the results of intervention only shows it’s weakness in producing real long term benefits, without numerous side effects.
Healthcare a Growing powder Keg
The Shocking Truth
Healthcare is a growing powder keg that is putting lives in danger. What most Americans are missing from the healthcare system is health. Standardized care is a disaster. Healthcare is going in the wrong direction. The implications are enormous. While life-saving medical breakthroughs are finding their way to market, mainstream medical care for all chronic problems is missing in action.
What This means for you
What American’s are missing from their diets can make them a victim of the medical system. This phenomenon is becoming increasingly noticeable, as more American’s fall ill due to prescription medication, and over the counter drugs.
These pharmaceutical solutions miss the point of medical intervention. They operate on treating the symptoms. They look at is what is lodging in your body, and then deal with it.
What they do is unleash the nuclear bomb on a natural warning system. Sometimes for the moment it is life-saving. However, it doesn’t manifest health, and it will have unseen side effects.
Contradictory Treatment
In the medical way of thinking you are fighting back pursuing a war. You know the saying he fought the good fight till the end. Rubbish, you are not at war with something that resides in you.
Combating poor health is another way of addressing infections, inflammation, and lack of energy, unhealthy cells, and insulin productions. You have a contract with your body you give it what it needs, it performs well. Enhancing health is the way to modify the effect of disease producing organism.
Treatments that hinder your natural resources, and ruin your immune system will ultimately magnify your health problems.
The Secret to Health
The main thing that Americans are short on is information. Everything coming your way is either on the air, in print, and off a prescription pad. Instead of using a lethal agent to combat a symptom, proceed with enhancing your health. Before something gets a foothold is best, however even after the fact there are natural aggressive protocols. These are agents which increase natural killer cells activity and are natural immune stimulants.
Follow the Pages
A stealth process is operating our medical field. There is a high price for dosing yourself with conventional chatter. Limited awareness is to blame for the health crisis facing America. Compliance with the prescribed treatment can be painful and costly. Conventional treatment is both disappointing and life threatening. These are some of the side effects of chemo drugs; anemia, fatigue weakness, confusion, heart problems, and memory loss.
We are at a stage in medicine, where we must formulate a variety of better ways to restore health. On these pages we will show you what others have done to achieve superior health and recover from life threatening conditions.
Disclaimer
What we want to prove is that remarkable health isn’t a pill away. We suggest that you take charge of your health by getting the facts. Is good health compatible with some medical intervention? It depends on the role you play and the responsibility you take. However, without being informed there is no way to modify both the side effects of conventional treatment, and to know how effective treatment it is for your condition.
People have successfully used medical advances to their advantage. But many of these people did not rely on it once the initial surgery or treatment was completed. Well being is not going to be increased by any of those procedures. All of these counteract a natural healthy state of being.
To prevent the proliferation and spread of any disease state means increasing the actions of your immune system. When you do that you immediately address a whole host of problems from cardiovascular to insulin production. Your overall vitality is based on your personal practices.
Amazing Cancer Cure
The amazing cancer cure is missing in action. Taking a look at the track record of this industry tells it all.
A newly approved chemotherapy drug will cost about $30,000 a month, the prices of cancer medicines are continuing to rise. Despite the fact that the drug Folotyn has not been showed to prolong lives, it only shrinks tumors. The drug was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in late September as a treatment for peripheral T-cell lymphoma, a rare and usually aggressive blood cancer that strikes an estimated 5,600 Americans each year.
Upfront Reports
Folotyn has not yet shown an effect on longevity. In the clinical trial that led to approval of the drug, 27 percent of the 109 patients experienced a reduction in tumor size. The reductions lasted a median of 9.4 months.
But considering all the patients in the trial, only 12 percent had a reduction in tumor size that lasted for more than 14 weeks. The trial did not compare Folotyn to another drug or a placebo.
Critics, who include many oncologists, point out that patients are paying a huge price for drugs that, on average, provide only a few extra months of life at best.
Folotyn Side Effects
Important Safety Information published on Drugs.com
Warnings and Precautions:
Folotyn may suppress bone marrow function, manifested by thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia. Monitor blood counts and omit or modify dose for hematologic toxicities.
Mucositis may occur. If ? Grade 2 mucositis is observed, omit or modify dose.
Patients should be instructed to take folic acid (1.0 -1.25 mg orally on a daily basis) and receive vitamin B12(1 mg intramuscularly every 8-10 weeks) to potentially reduce treatment-related hematological toxicity and mucositis.
Folotyn can cause fetal harm. Women should avoid becoming pregnant while being treated with Folotyn, and pregnant women should be informed of the potential harm to the fetus.
Use caution and monitor patients when administering Folotyn to patients with moderate to severe renal function impairment.
Elevated liver function test abnormalities may occur and require monitoring. If liver function test abnormalities are ? Grade 3, omit or modify dose
Folotyn Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions observed in PROPEL were mucositis (70%), thrombocytopenia (41%), nausea (40%), and fatigue (36%). The most common serious adverse events (>3%), regardless of causality, were pyrexia, mucositis, sepsis, febrile neutropenia, dehydration, dyspnea and thrombocytopenia. Forty-four percent of patients experienced a serious adverse event while on study or within 30 days after their last dose of Folotyn. Twenty-three percent of patients discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions.
Drug Interactions:
Co-administration of drugs subject to renal clearance (e.g., probenecid, NSAIDs, and trimethoprim/sulfamethaxazole) may result in delayed renal clearance.
Use in Specific Patient Populations:
Nursing mothers should be advised to discontinue nursing or the drug, taking into consideration the importance of the drug to the mother.
Believe or Not
The new treatments are good for the drug companies CEO’s and the inventors.
For investors, a high price is usually a good thing. Mr. Schimmer’s note was entitled “Folotyn Prices High, Reiterate Outperform.” He estimated annual sales of the drug in the United States reaching about $300 million by 2014.
In a note to clients in October, Joshua Schimmer, an analyst at Leerink Swann, estimated that a typical treatment would last 3.5 months and cost $126,000, or about $36,000 a month.
Does Anyone Know Whats Going On
Folic acid a vitamin B12 should not be given to cancer patients for good reason.
In a study published in the November 18th issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, heart patients in Norway had a 21% increased risk of cancer when they took large doses of folic acid and vitamin B12 over patients who did not supplement the vitamins.
Studies show that people who get plenty of folic acid reduce their risk of developing colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps by 40% to 60%. But folic acid doesn’t just help healthy cells grow. It also helps cancerous cells grow. Studies in animals have shown that once cells are on the path to becoming cancers, the vitamin makes things worse.
In the 1940s, folic acid supplements were found to accelerate leukemia in children who were given the vitamin in the hope that it might help.
Reducing Tumor the Greatest Fraud
Reducing the tumor is not the way to defuse the disease process. The risk factors that have made this process start and perhaps progress are not going to be addressed by trying to reduce a tumor. Doing that is pointless. The tumor is made up partly of healthy cells. A percentage of the cells in a tumor are cancer cells.
Tumors are a complex mix of neoplastic cancer cells and normal cells – inflammatory and immune cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, pericytes, and others, collectively known as stromal cells.
Dr. John Dick from the Ontario Cancer Institute compared combating cancer to killing a backyard weed: “You can keep cutting the leaves off the weed, but the weed will re-grow. But if you cut the roots, the leaves will wither away. Killing the cancer stem cells is the equivalent of killing the root of the weed.”
Chemoprevention
The amazing cancer cure is in your body. If you ready to do more than survive, you are finally ready to change your life for the better. Chemoprevention is the word that is drawing a lot of attention. There is persistent and persuasive evidence that certain naturally occurring agents act in ways to inhibit, delay and reverse the disease process.
There is chemo in your fruits, vegetables, and herbs with the side effect of making you healthier than you have been in a long time. There are enzymes, supplements, and other technology that is now being shown to build immunity.
Health
The real truth is that there are no shortcuts allowed when trying to be well. The only ways to get to a so called cure it to take it slow by overhauling your lifestyle. The medical atmosphere points to studies that rely on a course of action that is guaranteed to wreck havoc with your digestive, immune, and cardiovascular systems.
Think of it this way when you get a cold you get rid of it, but if you entertain the same life style you will be getting more of them. Now you can say you cured the cold, but you can’t say you are now well. Not having the symptoms of a bad cold does not make you healthy.
Building health is the best protection and the best cure. Sheltering yourself from medical damage means you are on your own. Experts in the field are increasing the use of toxic substances to resurrect your health. They can’t do it with substances that are not easy to tolerate. You have to choose for yourself the most effective way to optimize your health.
