Health and the Meaning of Life

This week's topics have been about nutrition and its integral impact on our health. The human body is predisposed to heal itself and to exist as a healthy, thriving organism. Anything we can do to strengthen our immune system is good, for our immune system alone is responsible for healing and recovery from ill health. We inhibit that process by ingesting unhealthy foods, fouling our inner environment with toxins, and relying upon poisonous substances to treat disease conditions. Why do we do such things? Because we have been duped by the Big Three (see yesterday's post) to think that the human body is too difficult to understand and that we must have a doctor's instruction to fight everything from a hangnail to tuberculosis with prescription drugs or surgery.

Well, the truth is that many of the most effective healing therapies (even for grave, life-threatening disease conditions) are simple things that you can do for yourself at home. You simply have to educate yourself and take responsibility for your own health. This gets back to latter part of the title of this blog - 'the meaning of life'. It is very difficult to have a true quality of life if you are sick or in pain all the time. In some cases, the use of a particular drug might be a wise choice to speed healing and recovery for the patient; but the use of natural, orthomolecular therapies and substances (substances normally found in nature) that can more effectively address the cause of the disease should be considered first because natural substances work in harmony with nature. They aid and stimulate the body to truly cure itself, without the terrible millstone of drug side-effects.

Orthodox or Allopathic Medicine utilizes poisonous substances (drugs) in non-lethal dosages in order to suppress symptoms in an affected area. This approach neither addresses the cause of the disease condition, nor is it responsible for healing the patient. Rather, the use of drugs often will temporarily mask the outer manifestations of the malady, while at the same time, drive the disease deeper into the body ... only to reappear at a later date, as a more serious, and chronic health threat. One of the many flaws of the orthodox approach is that it focuses on the disease condition itself (symptom), rather than the patient. The term wholistic (or holistic) originally sprang up to distinguish those physicians whose diagnostic gestalt considers all of the physical, emotional, and spiritual energies interacting with the patient.

Do not assume that the only difference between allopathic and alternative medicine, however, is an honest difference of opinion in the philosophies and views on the origin of disease states. Hardly! There is, in truth, a concerted, organized agenda - concocted, planned, and contrived by the international pharmaceutical companies and organized medicine to suppress any and every alternative, non-drug therapy that WORKS. Why?

Because they want people to keep on coming back for more treatments and more drugs.

A cured patient is a lost source of income. A sick patient who is marginally 'improved' is a manageable patient.

Managing patients means routine office visits and renewing of drug prescriptions. Therefore, a manageable patient is a continuing source of income; a cash cow if you will. Multiply that by a few hundred million people and you get an idea why this deceit is being put upon you. The profits from the so called "health-care" industry are staggering!

The thrust of the orthodox pharmaceutical agenda is to provide temporary relief, while never addressing the cause of the disease condition. This agenda insures regular visits to the doctor's office and requires the patient to routinely return to the pharmacy to refill his prescriptions. This is what the game is all about folks, plain and simple.

What method sounds better to you? Using unnatural and poisonous substances with many latent and harmful side effects or treating the whole body with an aim at healing and correcting the imbalance to achieve healthy and optimal performance? Well, it's your body and your health at stake, and ultimately your choice.

As with all Saturdays, I will recap key financial indicators to look at the overall health of your financial health as well. The price of gold bounced sideways this week, lowering a small fraction in price to close Friday at $973.20 per ounce. Silver continued its gains, closing at $20.19 per ounce. Many experts are predicting that this is the last time you will see silver around $20 or less. The price of oil continued to rise, closing at $105.32 per barrel. As pointed out many times in this blog, oil is very key to inflation and the price of many things we buy. Also, the value of the US dollar index has dropped to a new all-time low at 73.02. This index measures the strength of the dollar against the other world currencies including the Euro, the British pound, the Swiss franc, Japanese Yen, Australian dollar, and others.

The financial woes of the dollar continue to deteriorate the health of your wallet, unless you have or are doing some steps to improve your situation. Again, the choice is yours.

Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. Jeremiah 33:6 (NIV)
