Holistic health care - what and whom
Holistic health care - what and whom
The baby boomers-the people born between 1946 and 1964-are the largest population group that needs more Medical care than ever. Doctors and pharmaceutical companies concentrate on which pills, potions or operations will probably use the seniors of the baby boomers over the next 30 to 40 years. Ironically, most people tend to worry about their Health after something important has happened. The truth is, if we consistently take care of our health, the aging process has little influence.
Babyboomer express their concern about better health, more than earlier generations. However, many do not know where they can find information and options, except for traditional western Medicine (TWM).
Only a few people research the abundance of side effects for prescription or over -the -counter (OTC) medication - not to mention that prescription and over -the -counter medication are formulated in such a way that they take over and kidnap the biochemistry of their body. Prescription and OTC medication force blood pressure to become lower/higher or force the liver to set the production of healthy cholesterol. In fact, prescription or over -the -counter drugs disturb the normal human metabolism, and this is one of the reasons why prescription drugs kill people. Nevertheless, conventional doctors on propaganda about the unknown side effects of holistic health care rely on people to convince people that only prescription or over -the -counter drugs are safe. It is not the case that you are afraid of the side effects of holistic health care - you are afraid that people are doing well, and they will not have their job to prescribe lifelong pills and potions. Western medicine is profit -oriented.
If everyone knew that he could prevent and calmed down diseases with plant extracts, medicinal herbs, natural vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical and medical industry would collapse overnight.

The Journal of the American Medical Association Vol. 284 On July 26, 2000, he published an article that documented the tragedy of the paradigm of traditional Western medicine (TWM). The author, Dr. Barbara Starfield from the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health describes how the US health system can contribute to poor health. Doctors are the third most common cause of death in the United States and caused 250,000 deaths every year.
This information is a continuation of the report of the Institute of Medicine from December 1999, but it was difficult to refer to the data because they were not in a journal with a peer review. Now it appears in Jama, the most edited medical magazine in the world.
Deaths per year:
1. 12,000 –– unnecessary operations
2. 7,000 – -medication errors in hospitals
3. 20,000 other mistakes in hospitals
4. 80,000-infections in hospitals
5. 106,000 - error -free, negative effects of medication
250,000 deaths per year by iatrogenic - deaths that are brought about in a patient through the activity, type or therapy of a doctor, in particular by complication of the causes of treatment - are outrageous !! Nevertheless, the majority of people continue to trust that the medical profession "heals" it, despite all the opposite evidence.
of 13 countries in a recent comparison, the United States ranks 12th for 16 available health indicators (two from below). The United States' ranking was according to several indicators:
o 13. (Last) for low birth weight percentage
o 13. For newborn mortality and infant mortality, a total of 14
o 11. For postneonatal mortality
o 13. For potentially lost years of life (except external causes)
o 11. For life expectancy at 1 year for women, 12. For men
o 10. For life expectancy at the age of 15 for women, 12. For men
o 10. For life expectancy at 40 years for women, 9. For men
o 7. For life expectancy at the age of 65 for women, 7. For men
o 3. For life expectancy at 80 years for women, 3. For men
o 10. For old -age mortality
The poor performance of the US doctors was recently confirmed by a study by the World Health Organization, which used other data and classified the United States in 15th place among 25 industrial countries.
