Taking responsibility for your health through a safer, alternative route other than the normal fatally flawed conventional paradigm, as you know, is a simple concept that can often produce dynamic results. The concept comes down to "self-ownership, " or, in other words, who owns you. The evil marketing geniuses who run the multi-national pharmaceutical drug cartel believe they do, and it's hard to blame them. They certainly spend enough to buy your attention as well as bend the ear of your physician. The health care field has evolved into a facade for the business of selling drugs. The pharmaceutical industry spends more than $4 billion a year to market drugs to consumers in the United States and another 16 billion to market them to U.S. physicians. Moreover, they have come up with some of the most effective and creative marketing schemes in history. Top U.S. drug makers spend 2.5 times as much on marketing and administration as they do on research; at least a third of the drugs marketed by industry leaders were discovered not by the drug makers, but by universities or small biotech companies. Self-health responsibility, more than any other possible option, is the best way to stay healthy and fit. Evidence for the truth of this fact is coming at us from everywhere. Research has shown that diet, exercise and stress management are powerful tools for maintaining health. Searching for answers. That's a good thing. And, studies have shown patients who take better ownership for their own health typically have better outcomes too. |
