[American Health Care System]: Third Leading Cause of Death

Excerpts from the book The China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Thomas M. Campbell

 

Just How Unhealthy Are Americans? 

2/3 of Americans are overweight

1/3 Americans 21 years+ are obese

• obese: he/she is carrying more than 1/3 of a person above and beyond a healthy weight
• "similarly, frightening trends have been occurring in children as young as two years of age"

15 million Americans have diabetes

• 34% of diabetics are unaware of their illness 

Half of Americans have a health problem that requires taking a prescription drug every week

100 million+ Americans have high cholesterol

1/3 Americans will die of heart disease

Americans male has 47% chance of getting cancer. American females have 38% chance (according to American Cancer Society)

• at rates highest in the world 

Cleaning Up the Mess...?

In 1997, we spent over a trillion, yes $1,000,000,000,000+, on health care

• $1 out of every $7 is spent on health care
  

 Health Care Financing Administration predicts we will spend $16,000,000,000,000 on health care by 2030

• Yet we still have tens of millions of people without access to basic care (due to being uninsured)
  

But it doesn't add up...
#1: health care expenses
#37: health care system performances

How Are Our Hospitals Killing Us?

The category Adverse Drug Effects are "the hospitalized patients who die from 'noxious, unintended and undesired effect of a drug' which occurs at normal doses... with the use of approved medicines and correct medication procedures"

• In addition, "One out of 15 of all hospitalized patients have experienced a serious adverse drug reaction, 'one that requires hospitalization, prolongs hospitalization, is permanently disabling or results in death'"
• This number does not include tens of thousands who suffer from incorrect administration and use of these drugs, nor does it include adverse drug events that are labeled 'possible' effects or drugs that don't accomplish their goals 

Why Isn't Preventative Medicine Presented? 

Arguably, the main problems: Nutritional Confusion and Ulterior Motives ($$$:Insurance)
The Ulterior Motive spiel is a rant that I will prefer to keep you from reading as it is simply a rant... no matter how true it is

I will not get in to the effects of animal products on health in this post... I will post this when I have more time. But for now, look at the difference in the current American diet and the disease-preventing nutritional diet based on the most nutrient-dense food per calorie consumed

Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food. —Hippocrates

Louis Pasteur was [WRONG]

Louis Pasteur's Germ Theory of Disease was wrong :(

• Germ theory- outside micro-organisms are the primary causal agents for disease 
• Cellular theory-micro-organisms become pathogenic only after the health of the host organism deteriorates
• germ theory suggests disease can 'strike' anybody anytime; cellular theory says disease is created by unhealthy conditions, germs causes diseases only where there is lack of health
• germ theory says we must 'build defenses' with vaccines, antibiotics and other drugs; cellular theory tells us to create health (an environment germs cannot live)
• germ theory sold for 3 reasons: easy to explain, blames diseases outside of ourselves, creates market for drugs and vaccines (multi billion $ investment)
• "Virus of cancer (or any other bacteria) can be easily changed into the type of (healthy) bacteria that normally inhabits the colon, and it can also be changed into the destructive bacteria of typhoid simply by altering the media in which it is grown...In reality, it is not the bacteria themselves that produce the disease, but we believe it is the chemical constituents of these micro-organisms enacting upon the unbalanced cell metabolism of the human body that in actuality produce the disease. We also believe if the metabolism of the human body is perfectly balanced or poised, it is susceptible to no disease"-Dr. Royal Raymond Rife after inventing series of very powerful microscopes and studying germs in different conditions
• "There is no particularly fixed species of different germs and they all had the capacity to change their structure with the changes in their nutrients"-Dr. Rosenow
• "Simple bacteria forms like streptococci (pus germs) could be made to assume all of the characteristics of pneumoncocci (pneumonia germs_ simply by feeding them on pneumonia virus and making other minor modifications in their environment. When Dr. Rosenow reversed the procedure and fed pneumonia germs on pus, they quickly changed into streptococci. Many other experiments were carried on, and, in every instance, the germs, regardless of type, changed into other types when their food and environment were altered" -Dr. James review of Dr. Rosenow's study published in Journal of Infectious Diseases

"There are no specific diseases: there are specific disease conditions" -Florence Nightingale, British nurse

"Herein lies the key to avoiding disease. We can create in our colon, and in our entire body, an environment that nourishes beneficial bacteria and does not provide the ingredients for disease. In this environment, beneficial bacteria will flourish and disease-causing bacteria will either starve, fail to reproduce or else be transformed into beneficial bacteria that actually nourishes your body. It sounds amazing, but it's been seen under a microscope 'as clear as a cat in your lap'".
