The Challenge of Healthy Aging in America

We have a real and verifiable challenge when it comes to healthy aging in America. I am so sorry your parent is not feeling well.  I know you’re not feeling well either.  In the past you have reacted with disbelief when I told you that perhaps I could help.  Your comment was that you trusted the doctors.  How is that working out for you?  You have personally been ill for years.  Are the doctors helping or is it perhaps that there are things they don’t know?

The State Of The Medical Profession

Healthy aging in America requires a fundmental change in our approach to health care.  Doctors are primarily trained by Big Pharma.  The pharmaceutical companies fund the research at major hospitals and universities and often sit on the board of directors so they can “oversee” how their money is being spent for research.   So naturally, the schools teach what the drug companies want the doctors to know and the hospitals administer what the drug companies tell them to.  It is really that simple.

To a great extent drugs are not designed nor intended to cure anything.  They are designed to control symptoms and create lifetime customers.

The State Of The Food Industry

Healthy aging in America requires eating healthy, nutritious food. Sadly the food industry has also been compromised in America.  Packaged foods are loaded with additives, preservatives and sugar.  Many of these are known carcinogens, neurotoxins, hormone disruptors and just plain ugly stuff (technical term).  Sadly in my opinion, one of the worst frauds ever perpetrated on the American people is the low fat, non fat business.  The food industry removes all the good fats (the ones your body actually needs) and replaces them with chemicals and sugar to restore flavor.  Look at obesity in America and you will see the result of low fat, high sugar intake diets.

The Rise Of Disease In America

In the last 50 years over 80,000 new chemicals have been introduced in America.  With minor exception, no human testing has been done.  There is no agency with the money the manpower, and the time to test 80,000 chemicals for their effects on health and longevity of human life.  So the operating model is it is safe until people begin to die.  Sadly, even when people die, it is controversial because it is hard to prove cause and effect so the chemical industry continues unregulated and the disease rate climbs astronomically.  The graph below is from the move “Stink” and is an example of the apparent correlation between the growth of disease in the US and new chemicals being introduced.

The Aging Process

Many people spend their last 10 years sick with a debilitating disease or in a rest home.  Many end up in a rest home because they cannot get on and off the toilet without assistance.  These diseases of old age are not necessary.  They are the end product of a slow but steady poisoning of our bodies with toxins and sugar coupled with lack of exercise and stress in everyday life.  None of this is necessary, all can be avoided.  The choice is yours!

What Is The Solution?

Again simple! We all know what we need to do.  The formula for healthy aging in America is eat good healthy food,  get the right amount of exercise and the right amount of rest daily.  In addition we must be proactive to remove toxins as much as possible from our everyday lives.

It’s not as hard as you might think.  But it begins with eliminating packaged food and sugar in our diet and eating as close to nature as is reasonable.  There are simple steps each of us can take to help insure our health into old age and improve our chances of longevity.

You Are The Solution

You can easily and effectively and inexpensively begin to change out your household products for safer, less toxic alternatives.  For example,  just changing out your toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner can reduce your morning chemical intake by up to 75 toxic substances.  We all want our home to be as safe as possible.  Shouldn't your home be the safest place on the planet for you and your family.
