YOU WILL BE SHOCKED TO DISCOVER WHERE THE AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM RANKS WORLD-WIDE

I am proud to be an American but that doesn’t mean I shut my eyes and am blind to the facts about our healthcare system.

We, as American have been sold a “bill of goods” about the quality of the healthcare we receive that is far from accurate.  From the healthcare insurance companies, to the hospitals rendering services and especially by the pharmaceutical companies, we have been led to believe that we get the best medical and healthcare treatment in the world………………THIS COULD NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!   We take more prescription drugs than any other country.  We pay the most for our healthcare per person and our system and health ranking world-wide are failing miserably.

Statistics reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) state:

*The U.S. has dropped from 11th in the world for life expectancy to 42nd.

*The U.S. leads the world in all chronic, degenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, asthma, allergies, depression, mental illness, autoimmune diseases, all forms of cancer, osteoporosis and obesity.

*The U.S. leads the world in infant mortality.

We cannot count on this system to keep us well.  We cannot count on machines and chemicals that are foreign to our bodies to be our first line of defense in staying well and living long lives………..this is counter-intuitive to common sense.

Diet, exercise and supplements that are known to fuel, protect and heal our bodies should be our FIRST LINES OF NOT ONLY DEFENSE BUT OFFENSE IN REALIZING OUR GOALS FOR VIBRANT, ENERGETIC LONG LIVES.
