The mainstream media has been having a field day talking about the United States healthcare system as of late. How we are going to afford it and all of the stipulations contained in the so-called ObamaCare bill. But the elephant in the room with this entire dialog as far as I am concerned is that conventional medicine is a failure. Modern healthcare is simply an inferior product that doesn’t work much of the time.Whether you want to look at all of the unhealthy side effects of pharmaceuticals, the amount of people that die each year from botched surgeries, hyped up scares like we had with the H1N1 flu, the over-prescription of drugs like ritalin, etc. We could talk about a great number of subjects with regard to the inferiority of the modern healthcare system. We could go on all day about it quite literally. And what I want to communicate here are just some close to home stories that illustrate my point.
Let me start with myself. About the beginning of 2008, I came down with a truly horrible virus. Symptoms included terrible vomiting, headaches and problems with my nervous system. My arms would go numb at times and there were times when I literally could not talk because of the way the virus affected me. I knew what I wanted to say, it was just impossible for me to make my mouth do the work for the words to come out. It was a scary situation, I literally thought at times this was it and that I was going to die. I decided to go to the local hospital. They performed an MRI, a CAT Scan and a spinal tap on me. By the way, as I understand it, spinal taps are supposed to be very unhealthy for you. The hospital staff also filled my body with anti-biotics, just in case I might have bacterial meningitis. Also, as I understand it, anti-biotics are not supposed to be good for you because they destroy all the good bacteria along with the bad bacteria in your body. This includes all the good bacteria in your body that help to keep your immune system strong and functioning well to include those in your colon, the core of your immune system. There were like 6 different departments trying to figure out what was wrong with me to include the neurologist and some type of special disease department. Hospital staff were taking my blood to do tests on it like three times a night, waking me up.
I got to thinking to myself, “When I sleep is when my body is supposed to be healing itself and getting better and these people continually wake me up.” So anyway, after about 3 days in the hospital, I decided to check myself out. The neurologist guy came back at the end of my little stay and said, “We think it was a viral meningitis.” After all the tests they put me through, they still could not tell me my problem conclusively. They were literally practicing medicine on me. And all I got from the whole thing was a $7000.00 bill to give to my health insurance company. I was charged an outrageous price and they could not even tell me what was wrong. Oh yeah, almost forgot. When I was at the hospital, I think it was during the process of being admitted, one of the staff actually told me that I was an extremely healthy individual. I’m not sure why. I think it was because they reviewed my healthcare file and found that I rarely got sick or anything like that. Probably because it is extremely rare that I visit the doctor. I mean really, that’s what I attribute it to. I try to take my health into my own hands.
Anyway, I got out of there and I was still in terrible shape. I mean, I just felt terrible and when I got home I experienced varying degrees of the symptoms coming on and off for quite awhile. I think it was actually a number of months, like a month and a half to three months of suffering with these symptoms at times. I wasn’t sure if they would ever go away entirely. The headaches would come on and here is where it gets interesting. I had bought this natural “green food” supplement powder before I went into the hospital. And when these unbearable headaches would begin to come on, I simply took this supplement and the headaches would just stop from coming on. Now, even though this green food powder did treat my symptoms very well, even better than the doctors at the hospital did. I am not allowed to tell you that because, according to the government, you are not allowed to claim that a product treats, prevents or cures a problem unless it is a drug, even if it indeed does treat, prevent or cure a problem.
My basic point for saying all of this is that we really need to take control of our own health as individuals. I think there is a tendency to lift up doctors and healthcare workers in our society as a type of idol. In other words, I think many people look at them as having all the answers when it comes to a health problem. But unfortunately, the simple fact of the matter is that many times, they do not have the answers. And it’s a shame, because I really don’t hear too many people preaching that message.
As part of the process of taking control of your health, I highly recommend the Isagenix IsaLean Shakes. I have experimented with them personally and I can say that they really do indeed work. They include superior ingredients with a superior delivery system and they are organic. They are a really great product.
