Are Drug Companies Destroying The U.S. Health Care System?
Pharmaceutical sales are skyrocketing while the health of Americans declines. The problem is philosophical in that drugs do not cure and patients are looking for quick fixes.
Biophilia
Our love for nature is termed biophilia. When we connect with unspoiled nature we connect with our origins and our link to happiness and health.
Is Common Sense or Research Needed to Cure Cancer?
It is assumed that cancer will be vanquished by the march of science and research. But the evidence shows that modernity is the cause, not the cure. The cancer answer lies within everyone's grasp right now.
Why Child Bearing Is Healthy
Although bearing children may be a choice of convenience, it is also a choice that has health consequences. Not having children puts women at disease risk, while unbridled reproduction restricts life choices and puts population pressure on society and the environment. Nature holds the answers.
Conscience
Conscience is not something that is trained into us. It is an innate potential that each of us has the responsibility to tune to, not a skill that is learned by others imposing their will upon us.
Crime and Punishment
It is clear that our penal system neither effectively deters nor rehabilitates. It is, however, a tremendous drain on society. There is a better way that would serve as a deterrent, teach criminals something and benefit, not burden society.
Decency
In our age of freedoms it becomes ever harder to draw lines. But if standards are not adhered to society is threatened by a moral meltdown. We must realize that freedom is relative and only possible if there are rules.
Keeping A Distance From Religion
Good logic and science require that questions be faced with an open and receptive mind. Yet the notions of creation and a greater intelligence than ours are rejected a priori by materialists not because of the weight of evidence but because of rejection of religion.
Fish Oil
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils and other natural sources provide many health benefits. The predominance of grains in modern diets has shifted the fatty acid balance and contributed to many modern degenerative diseases.
Fish Out Of Water
It is natural to assume that our modern world is natural and normal. But on the scale of time, humans today are dramatically out of their proper genetic context. We are like fish out of water.
Growing Good People
Beginning in the womb, humans are imprinted with important environmental signals that influence development. Although the majority of human mental potential is lost in the early years of development, what remains can escape modern perversions and be nurtured toward good.
Health And The Economy
Economics is vitally linked to health and the advance of modern society. In the emerging world economy, the "have nots" will enjoy a rise in standard of living while the "haves" will suffer a decline. Western society's only hope is to return to an ethic of hard work.
Are Things Hopeless?
The world may seem to be crumbling around us but there is hope. That hope resides in the incredible power of each of us individually. What we think and what we do can almost magically transform society.
The Pet Food Ingredient Game
Pet food slogans such as organic, human grade, holistic and natural may increase sales, but miss the point. If pet health is the objective, a totally new approach is needed.
New foot in the sand technology can solve many health problems
The foot is intended to be bare and on the ground. Modern shoes entomb feet and create a host of foot ailments. A new insole with "foot in the sand" technology revolutionizes foot comfort, alleviates pain and enhances athletic performance.
Why Modern Medicine is the Greatest Threat to Health
It is assumed that America has the most advanced and beneficial health care system in the world. In actual fact, the greatest single risk to life is medical intervention. Adverse drug reactions and medical errors in hospitals and doctors offices kills more than 500,000 people each year. Although this data comes right out of the medical literature, it is a reality nobody wants to face.
The Myth of 100% Complete Pet Food
Every day people subject their loved animals to repetitious monotony that they would never allow for themselves, and yet, unthinkingly pass their actions off as beneficial for their pets.
Playing the Health Odds
The body has a capacity for resiliency and adaptation permitting us to have the measure of health we do. But there is a limit to that reserve. Wrong life choices will eventually take their inevitable toll.
The Case AGAINST Raw Frozen Pet Foods
Although raw foods have many nutritional merits for pets, they are not without their dangers. Questionable suppliers, formulations, ingredients and the danger of food-borne pathogens must be considered.
Regulatory Hooey “Protects” Us From Our Own Health
The medical establishment and their regulatory arms, such as the FDA, would like to remove nutritional supplements from the market. They are a threat to pharmaceutical interests and the fact that science proves the benefits of supplements does not matter.
Self Determination – Making The Most Out Of You
Modern society makes growing up difficult. Dependence on the commercial world traps us as mindless consumers. Health and happiness require that we break the chains and become more self-determined and -sufficient.
How the sun is absolutely crucial to your health
The sun is not our enemy in spite of medical paranoia. Vitamin D from fish oil or synthesized in the skin when exposed to the sun not only prevents cancer but many other diseases as well.
Medical Testing: Health By The Numbers Doesn't Work
It is assumed that medical testing is prudent and wise preventive medicine. But medical tests are in themselves dangerous and can also mislead people into thinking diagnosis is the same thing as cure.
Cancer - The Missing Point
In spite of billions spent on research, cancer continues to grow as a threat to health and life. Pharmaceutical companies and other special interests groom data to give the impression of progress. In the end, the answer lies in our hands with simple lifestyle changes.
The Truth Behind Having Children
Children are not so much a "right" as a responsibility. With children no longer needed to help "run the farm," having children today requires a new kind of awareness and commitment.
You are Closer to Being Vitamin C Deficient Than You Think
Few people would expect that the average modern diet is deficient in a vitamin essential to life. Research now shows that vitamin C deficiency is widely spread and lies at the root of serious life threatening conditions such as heart disease.
Is Vitamin E Lethal?
The media has sensationalized reports that vitamin E may increase fatalities. Unfortunately this is bad reporting based on bad science and will inhibit people from using an important disease reducing vitamin.
X-Rays – What You Don't See & Feel Can Hurt You
X-rays are a wonderful medical technology that has the potential for great harm, including genetic damage, cancer and atherosclerosis. X-ray damage accumulates and thus there is no safe level.
Mother Love
The mother-child bond is critical to healthy development. Love between the two is even biochemically hard-wired. We need to take note as society moves in a direction that assumes that so long as children's basic needs are met all is well. It isn't.
Proving Evolution With The Dictionary
Evolution is a widely held belief but few have examined the hard science for its major thesis that humans emerged from the sod. Interestingly, one of the strongest arguments (however weak it is) lies in the dictionary.
The Supernatural
Supernatural is a word that has caused much conflict between science and religion. Since nobody knows the bounds of nature, nobody can say what lies outside of those bounds. "Supernatural" needs to be retired and in its place put the open-minded search for truth.
Rejuvenating Sex And Health Naturally
The answer for an ebbing sex life is not a pharmaceutical, but change in lifestyle and eating habits. Sexuality is also intimately linked to health: sex is healthy and unhealthiness destroys sex.
Life And Health In The Year 1000
Comparing life today to life in the year 1000 is revealing. The measure of health and long life today is not due to medical measures but to hygiene and food distribution brought about by technological advances. Today the greatest threat is not famine, but wrong choices.
Vaccine Safety
Vaccines are good in theory but expose people and animals to a variety of risks. Disease was never vanquished by vaccines; healthy bodies with healthy immune systems offer the best hope.
The Prime Mover
The flow of money is a powerful force in modern society. Ideas and practices too often remain in place not because they are good for society, but because they protect financial interests. Yet economics is the perfect place for ethics and principles because money is what moves the world.
Rationale for Creating the First "Un-Cereal™"
No creature other than humans cooks its food. Does nature have it all wrong? Additionally the modern glut of sugars and carbohydrates is totally out of syn with our genetic design. Little wonder we are suffering myriad degenerative diseases unheard of in creature that respect the laws of nature. A new 'Un-Cereal' helps to solve this problem.
Dollars Don’t Make Health
The medical community has developed expensive band-aids that do nothing but cover the problem and not solve the underlying causes. Doctors have long known that most disease comes through improper lifestyle choices but because of financial pressures issue prescriptions instead of life-saving advice. Americans now spend over $1.5 trillion annually on medical care. There is no end in sight to rising costs. From the medical community’s standpoint, why should there be? If you have a cash cow you milk it for all it is worth.
What Does The Eye Tell Us About Evolution
Complex organs, such as the eye, contain thousands of interrelated parts that seem impossible to explain coming into existence piecemeal. Such irreducible complexity argues strongly against evolution
Surviving Tragedy
Everyone will suffer the loss of a loved one at some time in life. There are principles to learn and keep in mind so that when tragedy does strike you can take the steps that will speed healing.
Germs Don’t Cause Disease, You Do
Total disinfection and sterilization is not the answer to avoiding disease as proven by any child grubby from a day’s play. Bacteria is needed for healthy bodies and correct diet and sleep will do more for you than the best soaps or pills.
Determinism
Materialists believe that all the energy and matter in the universe is governed by physical laws. Since evolution presumes materialism is all there is, and denies the quite evident presences of free will their foundation crumbles. Your free choice to believe in evolution would be the very act that denies its validity.
The Many Faces Of Estrogen
Phytoestrogens are natural compounds found in plants that may exert a beneficial effect in women without the harmful side effects usual with pharmaceuticals.
Evolutionary Theory Harms Health
Evolution creates a belief. Belief creates action. In health care, evolutionary belief assumes that which is not true: that we are just an amalgam of parts and pieces that can be modified, removed or replaced without consequence.
The Female Hormone Problem
Modern women who choose to not have children put themselves at risk of increased estrogen sensitive cancers. Modern pollutants and lifestyle choices also increase the risk. The solution is to understand natural biological design and mimic that as closely as possible.
Feminizing The World
A variety of female hormone pollutants being released into the environment not only increase the risk of cancer but result in sexual dysfunction and aberrations.
Impossible=Possible
Evolutionists use probabilities to prove that life could have emerged on Earth by chance. Not only are such probabilities in the realm of impossible, scientific laws demand that probable events happen, not impossible ones.
More Cancer Treatment Failure
In spite of billions of dollars in research and treatment, cancer has far greater incidence today then at the turn of the century. The answer is not more money but better thinking.
The Best Food
The traditional food pyramid is broken and the nutritional religion hasn’t solved the problem, the solution is what nature intended and sticking to what your body is genetically adapted to nourish itself on.
Exercise
We are designed for daily exercise. In the wild if we did not exercise we would not eat, but in our modern world it is a choice. There is virtually no aspect of health that is not benefited by it but if it is done improperly it can also ruin health.
Rationale for Whole Protein Shake™
The perfect supplement and meal replacement for dieters, growing children, athletes, body builders, the ill and the elderly.
