The Politics and Economics of Health

Healthcare is great if you have it. But lets be clear! Many have passed away that had excellent healthcare insurance.

So health should be of utmost importance, and hopefully, you don’t need the care part.

In fact, why not do the care part up front, on a daily basis and ensure that you delay or eliminate entirely, degenerative health related problems

Here is an interesting experiment. Ask your doctor for a prescription for degenerative disease. You won’t get one, and yet all major diseases are a consequence of degeneration, that is the breakdown of systems in the body primarily due to nutrient deficiency. Diseases such as Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Alzheimer’s don’t go quietly.

Degenerative diseases reeks havoc on finances, families, emotions and most of all, the quality of life for those affected. In many cases the devastation is to the healthcare system as well.

It’s high time that we start understanding where most of the healthcare cost is coming from and then realize that prevention by any measure is not only the best course of action, but also the more economical solution.

Lets look at Heart Disease. Studies show that on average over a lifetime even if you have health coverage, you will still fork out over 50 Thousand Dollars for care and you may still loose. Degenerative disease is symptomatic of a weakened immune system and in such a state, many other conditions can pile on. For Instance, I don’t know anyone with heart disease that only has heart disease. Usually there are other things going on as well. That’s because of an overall degenerated condition.

It is clear, a change in focus is what is needed. Waiting around for problems to surface or depending on that annual checkup to discover something, is not the answer. In fact if you keep looking for something, I bet eventually you will find something.



The far superior approach is to make smart, modest investments in your health every day. If you have good health, it’s worth preserving. If you have health challenges, you clearly need an intelligent approach that can put you on the road to regaining your health.

By the way, should you face a health situation, you want to be sure that your immune system is strong enough to see you through. So that means nutrients are required to give your body what it needs to heal itself

Learning about your body and taking action on what you’ve learned will help to insure your good health on the one hand, and a vast improvement in your health, on the other. To illustrate how pervasive politics and money can have a negative effect on you though, is the absence of information that affects your view and ultimately your choices.
