Who Is Responsible For Your Healthcare?

After the passing of the Healthcare Reform bill

, I started thinking, "is this good or is this bad"? Naturopaths are optimistic, so I started putting some positive in my thinking process. What if this is a wake-up call for Americans?

The healthy life expectancy in the United States is number 24 in the world. What else got my attention? We rank number 2 when it comes to the total health expenditures as a percentage of gross domestic product, and the U.S. ranks number 72 on a level of health performance. In essence, what does this really mean?

We are becoming totally reliant upon medications and medical intervention instead of taking care of our health. We are killing ourselves, and hoping that medicine will take care of the problems!

We are being treated for every little thing-so when it comes to the cost of healthcare and medicine, the prices have sky-rocketed. Supply versus demand, remember? Instead of nutrition and exercise, we want to take a eat what we want, not exercise, then take a pill!

Understand that when it comes to a cold, digestive problem, sugar handling issue, or headache that we are not having a medication deficiency, it's our bodies way of telling us that it's lacks nutrients to properly function. We must stop burying our heads in the sand and decide to become proactive in our own self-care. Disease is much easier to prevent than treat. If you don't take care of yourself, who is going to take care of your family? They need YOU, and they need you to be around for a long time. And you and the only one responsible for your health- not a physician or the government.

When we literally are putting poisons in our body instead of nutrients, not exercising, are excessively stressed, and have poor lifestyle habits, then we will reap the consequences in a body that is not going to function as it was designed.

Americans are at a crossroad- heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression, cancer- all on the rise. We have become a nation of people of chronic pain and disease; and we still think that the medical system will fix all of our problems.

"It is a matter of putting into your body what it needs to heal and regenerate-and a matter of stopping ingestion of disease causing foods and toxins that are killing you"....Dr. Bruce West

Statistics show that the average 30 year old today has an odds of 1 in 2 in dying from heart disease; 1 in 3 will die from cancer. Although the American population's average life span is 76 years old, many of the later years are not going to be spent in optimal health and freedom to do what we want to do...but it does not have to be this way.

The past ten years has shown us with scientifically proven information, that good nutrition, and quality nutritional supplementation can work wonders in correcting health issues. Preventive care is the biggest defense you can take toward aging or disease. Isn't it time you took steps to create your own "healthcare program?". Life is not a dress rehearsal!
