Does Modern Medicine Work?

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPI7zdGdqo4 Dr. Mercola is one of my favorite alternative health practitioners.  His site delivers lots of good material, but like most sites he has some sponsors that I don't agree with.

The statistics in this video are quite shocking.  Most would argue that Mercola is crazy or exaggerating, but I would like to ask "Is He?".  We are approaching an time where 1 in 2 die from cancer or is obese.  Conventional medicine has never been doubted so much as it is now.  The US spends some 1.4 million Dollars a day on health care, yet we are ranked 14th or below in our health care in comparison to the rest of the world.  How can this be?

I recently attended a seminar which my mentor Paul Chek presented at.  Paul explains our medical and world phenomenon the best.  When speaking in a large massive group on exercise he never sticks to exercise.  That is what I love about Paul.  This is because Paul doesn't just believe in exercise, he believes in holistic exercise.  In holistic exercise it would be impossible not to look at emotional, mental, or even spiritual components to exercise.  So basically he isn't really talking about exercise.  Paul always says "I'm here to tell you the truth, I do this because I love myself enough to tell you the truth."  Often times people are afraid of what is PC and what others want to hear.  Paul has always dared to speak the unspoken.  He has been in the health industry since the early 80's and has revolutionized it.  I can honestly say that if it wasn't for Paul we wouldn't have Swiss Balls in our gyms.  Paul describes our medical industry as not a "health care" industry but a "sick care" industry.  Like many other philosophers he dares to challenge society.

Lets look at our health industry.  Why would Paul say it is a sick care industry.  What pays the medical industry healthy individuals or sick individuals?  When a person goes to the ER he pays for rush service and the doctor visit.  My roommate was hit by a truck half a year ago and even with no real medical attention (an ambulance ride to the hospital and the "oh your ok") cost him 7000USD.  This is preposterous! it is a sin amongst man kind.  But yet the owners of these institutions are always worshipers of Abrahamic religions.  How can you rightfully charge someone in need $7000 just for a ride and an OK?  Yet there is a darker truth.  Most of this what was mentioned in this paragraph is talked about in the movie Sicko.

The dark side of the story isn't just that our pharmaceuticals industry controls our hospitals.  They also control our food.  How so? I can answer that with another question, What is GMO? and what is a pesticide?  These are things that must be made through oil, and chemicals like those in drugs are also made from this lovely liquid which took 2 or so billion years for the earth to make.  So what I'm telling you is that we are in a vicious cycle were our food is what gets us sick and our hospitals do everything they can to keep us sick.  This is why the hospitals don't go to the root of the problem but mask the symptom.  You go in for a cough and they get rid of your cough.  But why did you get the cough?

Holistic belief is that our body, mind, and spirit are all linked, and it would be impossible to say otherwise.  So how are they linked.  What is the root of the problem for someone who has a cold?  If we look at it emotionally we can see that often times it has to do with a communication issue.  But we don't want to accept that as a society.  That is voodoo Bullshit!  Is it?  How often have you experienced yelling your lungs out and loosing your voice, and some how a couple of days pass and you have a soar throat.  This would be a communication issue no?

Everything is linked together in our lives and we can't keep treating the symptoms.  Eventually we have to step up to the plate and take action.  How can we take action? Be responsible, and take care of yourself.  Research and I mean really research what works for you.  We now are in an era where if we don't change our philosophy and our actions we won't have a place to live.  Man like mother nature is sick and you can't give a miracle cure to mother nature, much like a human.  When a person is sick he/she is inflamed, hot, agitated, and weak.  Right now our earth has little usable soil and is inflaming due to the ice caps melting.  It is hot and can't cool itself.  It is very grumpy and causing all types of hurricanes and tsunamis.  Finally it is weak because our ozone has a holes and cannot recover.  Taking care of a human is like taking care of the earth.

Lets all start and take action!
