The sign of a good doctor should be how many patients he can get off medications, not how many people he puts on medications.- Unknown
The patient should be made to understand that he or she must take charge of his own life. Don't take your body to the doctor as if he were a repair shop.- Quentin Regestein, associate professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature’s protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system has to be reckoned with later even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time.- Daniel H. Kress M.D.

Yeah, and even the rich aren't always healthy. They just have the money that gets them access to the "best" doctors money can afford.

 My notes: Don't let anybody- Government, doctors, media, family tell you that your body is not your own. That you don't have control over your own health. Be proactive in your own healthcare. Take responsibility & enjoy the body & mind you have. |

My notes & thoughts: Humans are selfish & greedy creatures. We want what we want & push people out of our way. We were watching a documentary awhile back, “The end of poverty”. NOBODY should go hungry in this world. There’s more than enough of EVERYTHING. It’s just not distributed. Restaurants, grocery stores, instead of donating excess food, pitch it to the landfill. This documentary talks of how the USA exploits those lesser countries. Sure, we are so big on helping them, big wigs in Washington are quick to say “Hey we help!” but yet they hide the fact that these very same people are hurting those people too on an ongoing basis. You may say it’s their governments’ fault first ‘cos i.e. for Kenya, USA couldn’t go in & take their land for their use if Kenya’s government didn’t allow them but still. USA is a greedy nation. Definitely not on what we were founded on. Monsanto ‘generously’ offered Haitians (toxic, GMO ridden) seeds. Haiti tried to fight back & say “No, we don’t want that. Don’t want to be slaves.” But in the end, they had to compromise. They did accept seeds laden w/ pesticides tho no GMO’s. Control the food supply, you control the world. We need to know. To choose to be, to remain ignorant is just irresponsible. If nobody speaks up then we can't get angry at our situation. We need to stop GMO foods & stop playing a god. Period. It always ends up hurting the innocents while the bigwigs get even richer off our poverty & illnesses.

I once watched a doctor's interview, he said the moment you overcome the temptation to eat, you will start being healthy. Humans are the only animals that eat for taste, instead of eating to live.

No, you are wrong at most point, everyone can think money can afford to buy a life, but it can't. I have seen rich people also struggle for life and most are ending around 60 years of age. We see in these days those who are working as software were getting BP problems so now what is your thought on this? |
