Time for a Paradigm Shift on Medical Independence Part I

Medical malpractice is this nation’s 3rd highest killer

In over 100 years of “research” on “curing cancer”, and after spending an average of $50 billion a year for the last 10 years on this research, the only FDA approved methods we have for battling cancer is surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy—two of those solutions are actually carcinogenic.  Even worse, there are a litany of scientific studies published which conclude that chemo and radiation do very little to prolong life, let alone a quality life.

Over 75 years, and a research budget of over 5 billion dollars a year for the last 5 years, and we still don’t have a full understanding and successful treatment of diabetes.  People are dying every minute in this nation from “symptoms” of diabetes.

Multiple-Sclerosis has raised billions of dollars over the last decade and yet we still have no solutions.

Cystic-Fibrosis affects one in every 25 babies born in the U.S.-no viable solutions.  We are better about recognizing its existence though–so that we can give the bad news to the parents.

Heart disease continues to go undetected in 1 of 5 patients.  One in five persons will be diagnosed with a mental disorder this year. One in three persons will be diagnosed with cancer! Tuberculosis and Whooping Cough is making a comeback to our nation—for the first time in 20 years.

The new super bug of the season has still not yet been properly identified and yet a so-called vaccination is highly encouraged for all Americans by every pharmacy, super-store, and medical talking head on television.

Advances for treating disease progresses while prevention lags way behind

What is the Medical Community Doing?

Despite the United States having the reputation for the most advanced medical technology and health care system in the world, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes actually take a back seat every year to an even more pervasive killer—medical error.

The FDA is actually PAID billions every year by the powerful pharmacology industry to approve testing and they continue to do so in spite of the inevitable “recalls” which occur after the millions of dollars are paid for “research and certification of a drugs safety.”  I don’t know what part of the world you live in, but here on earth we find that those who pay for the research and study usually end up with the outcome that they actually pay for.

Waiting room times in the emergency room get longer and longer with the accompanying horror stories of fatalities during such waits.

Obamacare Effects in Your Medical Community

In a response to Obamacare, countless employees are being informed that their health insurance has been eliminated from their benefit packages or that the employee’s cost burden will increase an average of 55% .  Health insurance companies are dropping corporations like flies in an attempt to protect themselves financially.

Pharmaceuticals have increased in cost an average of 20% (including generic brands) over the last 4 years. This may not make much of a difference to some pocket books, but when you’re medication costs $1500 for one single pill that is critical to your survival; it makes a huge difference.

Oh, and let’s not forget the serious trend we’re seeing throughout the U.S. of persons becoming addicted to their pain medication.

Shall I also mention that our food, our very life force, is being poisoned left and right via legalized chemicals in our meat, grains, fish, and produce?  All of these which are supposed to be good for the economy and perfectly fine for our bodies, and yet we’ve still had more food recalls in the last two years than all of the past 15 years put together.

I could go on and on here. But my point in all of this is what part of all of this yells “medical independence” to any of us?

I’m sure that there will be those few who demand that I give references to all of this information, but I’m simply not going to do that. It’s readily available on every single search engine I used this morning in writing the article.  There’s very little information that I’ve shared here that hasn’t made the front page news recently—so much so that I simply sound like I’m regurgitating last week’s top news stories. You and I both know that this is what’s going on around us.  We’d have to be living in a dark cave among the Tibetan monks NOT to.

Medical Preparedness

I think we will all agree that none of this is happy news. Some may say it’s just down right depressing. With this kind of a landscape, is there anyone who feels in control of their own medical care?  Can you blame anyone who doesn’t? Think about the young mother who’s trying to take care of her aging mother who suffers from dementia, or the father who’s trying to stay awake at night watching his son be pumped full of antibiotics to make sure that there are no lethal side effects.

Again, I ask the question, does anyone feel like they are medically independent?

Unfortunately, I know that the answer for most is “no.”  But that’s not what you’re going to hear from The Preparedness Pro, folks.  In fact I know that I’m definitely going to cause a stir with this assertion, but if you know me, you know that I’ve never exactly tread “safely”. For the first time in my life, I feel completely in control of my health and well-being.

I am so grateful that I can honestly say that barring a serious accident I feel pretty darn independent in the area of medical needs.  I do not feel like I’m subjected to the whims of modern “science” or the paradigms of medical professors or the agenda of the pharmaceutical industry—which, by the way is the second most powerful industry in the world—second only to the banking industry, and then followed by the food industry.  I’ve been plagued by a myriad of illnesses throughout a lot of my years and I’ve certainly watched loved ones subjected to the same.  I am grateful to say that I am no longer vulnerable to the field of medicine and health care—not financially, not in terms of treatments or medicines, not by any government office with ominous initials, and certainly not in terms of Obamacare.  The truth is, while I certainly would be disturbed by all of those who would suffer, I know two things which give me great comfort.

1) The body performs an amazing miracle every second of every day. If we give it the proper tools and enough time then we can indeed help it to heal.

2) The earth does still have sufficient tools, which if we become more knowledgeable, are readily available to us, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional health care.

Essential oils and herbs are part of our medical preparedness

This means that there are many who are suffering who do not need to do so.  As such, to me this means that I need to pursue my knowledge of medical preparedness as aggressively as possible and to stock up on the tools necessary to help the body perform its many miracles. But that responsibility can’t just be relegated to me.  Anyone who’s interested in minimizing the amount of physical and emotional suffering during a challenge must consider this aspect very seriously.  If one does not have the tools necessary to care for a loved one during a time of crisis, then one will be seriously compromised emotionally, medically, and physically.

There are those times in which a body doesn’t have “enough time” to heal without dying.  It is those times in which I believe that our traditional Western Medicine serves well. But even with that said, I still firmly believe that there is much we can do to eliminate the majority of those emergencies with our body, regardless of the presently accepted level of medical knowledge that’s pervasive in our society.

Knowledge of truth is key to our medical independence, but even more important is APPLIED knowledge. What good it is to have oodles of alternative methods for health care stored if we are not using them today at every opportunity?  If you’ve found something that’s particularly helpful to you and improving your health, then do you have at least a year’s supply of such an item?  Just as important, do you have at least a years experience in applying them? Also, what will your conscience tolerate in a time of trial if you didn’t share with others your vital knowledge so that they too may be edified and made whole in this aspect of preparedness?

If the “holistic” side of the fence seems a bit “woo-woo” to you (to quote one of my skeptical readers) then instead of complaining, how about coming up with an alternative that you feel comfortable with–because the facts don’t lie. Every conceivable modern medical care of today that’s executed through the pharmacies and hospitals requires electricity.  So, what would you do in the event of an EMP that fries every single electrical chip in operation?  Or an earthquake that wipes out all of the medical device manufacturing plants? Or a bio-chemical agent which is targeted toward every standard pharmaceutical production company or the water supply? Calling me a “quack” at such a time will do nothing to dry your tears or to give you peace–whereas diligent study and implementation now certainly will. And besides, even a blind dog can find a bone once in a while—translation: even a “quack” can be right occasionally. *grin*

Here’s hoping you have a peaceful journey towards your answers of Medical Preparedness
