Disease Economy: How the United States economy runs on "treating" chronic disease Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

How do you solve the disease economy, challenge it and turn it around into a health economy, a healing economy or an abundant economy? To do that, you first have to figure out a way to make health profitable. How do you make healthy people profitable when there's so much money in treating disease and chronic illness and so much money in addicting people to lifetime requirements for prescription drugs? How do you generate profits off of healthy people, as a nation?

It takes an act of great self-determination and courage to extricate oneself from the disease economy and be a productive member of society. It is a rare thing to witness. Very few people I've ever known, or know today, are actually productive members of society doing something useful for the benefit of other human beings. Do you know who some of those people are? Organic farmers. These are people I greatly respect who are actually doing something useful for others. It is something difficult, something laborious, something a lot of people wouldn't want to do.

Vote with your dollars You can remove yourself from the disease economy. You know how you do that? You vote with your dollars. You stop funding these drug companies, junk food companies, toxic personal-care product manufacturing companies, pesticide companies and petroleum companies. You stop giving them your money. You starve them of economic growth by voting with your dollars. You go somewhere else. You buy food from organic farms at your local food co-op or farmer's market. You buy honest personal care products made with natural ingredients, like Dr. Bronner's soap.

We reshape this economy and move it away from a disease economy. Pay attention to your actions when you're at a cash register. Look in your grocery cart. Ask yourself, "What am I invested in here? What am I supporting?" Commit yourself to making positive changes so that you support the companies, organizations and individuals that are actually doing something positive. If you're currently working for a drug company, quit your job and find something productive to do.

How do I know we're in a disease economy today? You can see it for yourself. Just drive around any city or town in the United States and you can see what's happening. Take a look at the new construction. What's going to be there? If it's an office complex, chances are it's going to be a medical office building. If it's on a street corner, it's probably going to be a pharmacy -- maybe a new Walgreens or CVS Pharmacy or a new drive-through Wal-Mart pharmacy. You even see pharmacies in grocery stores now, because they are so profitable.

There's really no investment at all, because preventing disease is the last thing that this disease economy wants. How do you make it worthwhile to keep people healthy? The answer to that comes down to education, and here's why: When a person is educated, whether it be an education in the arts, the sciences or in any other realm, they live longer and healthier. They maintain their brain function, and they remain productive members of society, no matter how long they live. They can be producing something that benefits other members of society well into their 70s, 80s or even 90s.

Why Michael Moore's SiCKO is a health care documentary every American must see Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

See my CounterThink cartoon, The disease economy, for a visual representation of this mess we're in, or read my book Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them to see just how evil and corrupt our modern health care system really is. Why Moore is being so vicious attacked Moore, as usual, is being targeted by all sorts of critics who would like nothing better than to see this guy disappear and stop rocking the Good 'ol Boys boat that seems to be floating just fine in America (as long as you're part of the wealthy elite, anyway). For starters, U.S.

The health care reform legislation that Congress should pass, but won't Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

America has become a disease economy that needs to keep the disease racket running just to post decent economic activity gains. And no politician who wants to stay in office will dare recommend that Americans should actually be taught how to stay healthy and prevent disease. A healthy population would devastate conventional medicine, the cancer industry, drug companies and health care jobs. (See my popular fable, Welcome to the Town of Allopath for a humorous look at this conundrum. #1 End patent protection for genes, seeds and medicines Medicine today is a for-profit industry.

Why the disease economy requires more disease The United States is now so completely invested in disease that, believe it or not, the U.S. economy cannot afford to invest in making people healthy, because the loss of business to drug companies and hospitals could cause an economic disaster. When you've built 1/5th of your national economy on pharmacies, drug companies, cancer centers, hospitals and outpatient surgery centers, the idea of showing people how to take care of their health and avoid all these products and services is simply incompatible with the economic foundation of your nation.

And no national economy, by the way, ever got rich by spending all its time, money and energy treating chronic disease with overpriced prescription drugs. Economists lose their minds... again Some economists, however, think all this is wonderful. "It will create jobs!" According to economic statistics, you see, it doesn't matter if a person makes cars, flips burgers, or fills prescriptions for dangerous drugs at the local Wal-Mart pharmacy. It's all the same to economists: It's all GDP. But in reality, some economic activities are constructive, while others are destructive.
