The Current State of Our Health Care!

We have the most expensive health care system in the world. Yet, where are all the healthy people? The rising cost for health care is in the area of 1.5 trillion dollars a year. Millions of dollars are spent on health research each year, so where are the cures for Diabetes, Cancer, Alzheimer’s, AID’s and other chronic and debilitating diseases?

In our opinion, our health care system (along with the food industry) has let us all down. Just look around you. At least 60% of us are fighting obesity, yet, diet systems and techniques are endless. We hear about low fat diets, and low carb diets and so on. There is every kind of exercise gadget imaginable and infomercials galore on the subject of weight loss. But, still the majority of us are overweight. And just listen to your friends. I’m sure you’ll hear many of them talk about the numerous drugs they’re taking, how sick they are and how they don’t have enough energy to get through the day.

THERE IS A BETTER WAY!

SELF EDUCATION AND PREVENTION IS THE MISSING LINK!

I read recently, that the U.S. Surgeon General, Richard Carmona is in the process of trying to educate the public and policymakers on the importance of disease prevention. Waiting to treat a disease after it is full blown is the wrong path for our nation.The solution is to invest in prevention!

Many years ago the great inventor Thomas Edison stated:
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

I guess you could say he saw the light, You betcha he did!

Doctors get very little education on nutrition. Yet, we know the importance of eating the right food to sustain life. Research shows that continuous vitamin and mineral deficiencies definitely lead to disease. Doesn’t this seem a bit confusing. If doctors are experts in disease, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies lead to disease, then why aren’t doctors top notch experts on nutrition?

We were created with a wonderful immune system to protect us from disease. Our bodies are very resilient and can take years of abuse, but sooner or later our compromised immune system will break down and the end result is poor health or chronic illness.

Our bodies are temples and should be treated as such. With proper diet, nutrition, and educated supplementation, along with exercise and prayer, we can all lead healthy lives. So, as you travel through our website and read the information that we have compiled for use by our family and friends. We hope it benefits you and your family as well.
