Problems with Healthcare, Pharma, and Food

We are going to talk about all the lies and problems that you have been fed by the government, the pharmaceutical industry, the health insurance companies and MORE.

So how did this start? 🤔

Well, early in the 20th century, Carnegie and Rockefeller teamed up and had a brilliant idea. They decided that if they spent a bunch of their money allocating funds to the medical schools that were pharmaceutical driven, that they would make more money, because they would sell more pharmaceuticals. They would also sell more raw materials to make the pharmaceuticals because they were already the oil magnets and that is an ingredient in many pharmaceuticals

So, what they did was, they provided massive funding to those medical schools and made it look really luxurious for prospective students to go there.

What happened later is all of the holistic schools just kind of fell to the wayside and shriveled up because they didn’t have the funding and nobody wanted to go there. So, all the doctors that went to these pharmaceutical driven schools they had this vision they wanted to help people with their pure heart. However, they didn’t learn anything about nutrition.

What they were taught is how to prescribe drugs to help treat symptoms. They’re not looking at the root cause of that symptom, most of the time, and so they’re just putting band-aids on the symptoms. And then the drug companies are the ones who are making money because let’s face it, we know that while doctors costs are going up, their insurance benefits are going down. It’s not a win-win.

For doctors in the end, even though they have that pure heart to help people, the pharmaceutical companies win. They charge ridiculous amounts of money for pills.

My brother was on a pill for Hep C  and I want to say it was like a thousand dollars a day for the pill, but he can’t afford it. He is a traumatic brain injury patient. So who pays for it? He is on Medicare. And who is subsidizing those costs? Well, those costs are all subsidized by the tax payers. And sometimes its the insurance company premiums that we pay.

Speaking of insurance companies, how does that play out? We know that our insurance companies determine our health care choices oftentimes. And they actually determine oftentimes if we get things done or not. What that means is, if we need to have some major procedure and they’re not going to cover it, oftentimes, the patient will say, “Oh I’m not going to have that done because I can’t afford it” and also insurance companies only cover traditional medical doctors and very few times do I see a naturopath or a functional medicine doctor visit get covered.

Insurance companies cover pharmaceuticals, but they don’t cover supplements. They cover your diabetes dialysis treatments, but they don’t cover your massage or your gym membership. So, what they’re doing is, they’re treating disease but they’re not helping prevent it. 😏

We want to teach people how to prevent the diseases, so they don’t have to suffer and don’t you think it’s cheaper to prevent disease than it is to treat it? ABSOLUTELY!

I always say, you pay the farmer now or you pay Big Pharma later and that is way more expensive. So what will you choose?

Plus, if you choose the former, your quality of life goes way down. Wouldn’t it be awesome if insurance companies actually helped us pay for the holistic solutions like, pay for stress management practices, pay for things that keep us healthy and it will save them big-time money in the long term, but let’s face it, pharmaceutical companies are the ones who are controlling everything because they are the big profit centers. So, they’re the ones who I believe and I could be wrong, but I believe they’re the ones who are holding the insurance companies hostage by creating this system that gives them more money. 😳

The FDA is like a big giant in the industry and often times what they do is, they have this big buzz word FDA approved.

Well, did you know that supplements don’t have to be FDA approved? So, some people say, “well it’s not FDA approved” but it doesn’t really have to be, it’s only for drugs.  And oftentimes, FDA approved things aren’t really good because they haven’t based that approval on long term studies. That’s why you see so many side effects like, how is all that stuff slipping by and actually killing people.

One time I heard that side effects are the third leading cause of death in the United States, couple the misuse and the side effects, together it’s the third cause of death. Heart disease is #1, cancer is #2 and pharmaceutical drugs are #3.

So, why are they being passed without deeper scrutiny? 

Did you know that pharmaceuticals are modeled on herbs? A lot of pharmaceuticals are actually modeled on herbs that are used in nature, that have been used by shamans forever. But since the pharma companies can’t charge a high premium, like $1,000 a pill, for something found in nature, and they can’t patent it, or they would lose a lot of money that way.

Big food is the other big-time thorn to my side. Well, I live on an organic farm here in Northern California and I see a lot of different things with food and I’ve learned so much in the last 12 years studying nutrition –  it’s crazy.

So, let me tell you that the USDA government food pyramid, or my plate, is based on a high carbohydrate diet. The reason that came out was because decades ago, there was a certain researcher, who shall not be named, who published a study based on seven countries of data when he had 22. He was trying to correlate a relationship between countries that had a high saturated fat diet with death from heart disease.

Well, you know what there was 22 entries that had data available but he only published the ones that had seven because they followed his curve. They followed his hypotheses and the rest of them somehow disappeared. 😯

So, that is how we came up with this big demonization of saturated fat. So, what has happened over the decades? Americans have become healthier and happier? NO! 

Our life expectancy has gone down. They have recently lowered the life expectancy rate for the third year in the row so (I think) that means that, children born today are not expected to live as long as their parents.

So, something is broken, something is not working. All of the research, all the science and everything is not going to save our children and that pretty much blows.

The other thing is that, a third to a half of the kids today are expected to get type-2 diabetes in their lifetime. Well, what is that caused from? It is not genes. It is not your genetics, instead, it is from lifestyle choices. It is from the food that you put in your mouth.

So, what is the problem here? Well, the government subsidizes some food industries like, corn, wheat and soy. Those are highly subsidized by the government meaning, for the farmers, it’s really cheap to grow because the government pays for it.

When you go to your grocery store there’s a huge percentage of food on all the shelves that are made from corn, wheat and soy because it’s cheap to grow. But do you know that it is genetically modified most often, and it is inflammatory. It causes a lot of inflammation which causes disease in our body and  that is a big problem.

We want to eat from the perimeter of the store like mostly meat, vegetables, nuts or seeds, or dairy (if you can tolerate it, so good quality dairy) That is where the healthier food is going to be found. Single ingredient foods are the best. 💯

I feel like we have this big problem, and if somebody in the White House wants to make America great again, then that is how you make America great. It will save our taxpayers and our insurance payers a lot of money. It will save the government subsidies a lot of money in the end. And we will have a healthier, smarter, stronger population which will help us win in this global economy.
