The cost of doing business-the healthcare industry.
So many players but pharmaceutical companies
are the rule-makers and biggest winners of the game!
A partnership is a relationship between 2 or more persons or entities that work together for a common goal. Some partnerships benefit few people, some benefit many. In the case of healthcare, the major partnership, the ones making all the rules that affect which doctors we see, what medications we can buy, what treatments we can afford, is the one between the government (namely Medicare) and the drug companies. When a you contract the flu and have to pay upwords of $150 for one round of Tamiflu just to keep from feeling like you're dying (which is actually possible to die from the flu), know that this 'partnership' is to blame. What makes it worse is that there are so many people out there facing worse conditions and even terminal illness unable to afford treatment that cost thousands of dollars. It seems that the medications that are needed the most-are the most expensive.
This former pharmaceutical executive tells about his career with a major company in the industry, what he did, what he's seen and reveals many truths about Big Pharm.
So, what's the alternative? Educate yourself on how to treat your body and mind better with less 'processed' foods and treatment and more natural as God intended. The problem is that is has gone on for so long that we all need to re-educated on what is good for us and how make it a lifestyle.
There is at least one doctor I know, cardiologist James Marcum MD, who is trying to make this re-learning process a bit easier and shows how pharmaceutical companies have taught us not to trust natural as having all our bodies need and that "whole foods" really aren't whole anymore-perpetuating the misconception that "More is Better" and "Big Brother Knows Best". He has written a book on the subject titled The Ultimate Prescription, which is very ensightful and an easy read-relating it to Biblical description of eating to truly nourish our bodies.
He is also the author of several others to include
- Medicines that Kill
- Heartwise
- Heartbeat
He is also speaker and director of Heartwise Ministries that is dedicated to truth about medicine, health and wellness and 'natural' vs 'pharmacology'.
