According to the New England Journal of Medicine, Aug. 16, 2007, drug companies spent $29.9 billion on advertising in 2005 to brainwash you into thinking you need their drug to live. This amount is up from 1996's level of $11.4 billion. Over $25 billion of this was spent influencing doctors, hospitals, etc. while $4 billion was spent on direct marketing to you, the unsuspecting public.

3.36 billion prescriptions were written in 2005. How many did you take?

Unfortunately many Americans think health care comes in a pill form. Actually we don't have a health care system in this country we have a disease care system that is not only going to bankrupt the country, it will continue to kill over 483,000 Americans every year until we learn to promote wellness care.

Drug companies are not in business to get you well. They are in business to keep you sick and dependent on their toxic drugs. Yes toxic!

Every drug has a lethal dose that will kill you. Even baby aspirin.

In order for it to be a drug it has to have a level that will kill you and this is determined by Phase 1 Toxicity testing also known as an LD-50. What amount of a drug will kill 50% of the test market. This just happens to be played out among college students who are healthy. Why then, do you think that giving a healthy person a drug to determine at what level will make them sick or kill them, will make a sick person taking the drug healthy? Drugs do not make you healthy. You do.

What we need is wellness care. Wellness care would include chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, nutritional counseling, nutritional supplements, weight loss programs, cold low level light laser, exercise, stress release programs, and provide incentives for healthy workers. By being proactive instead of reactive Americans will be able to dictate to the drug companies that our future existence depends upon wellness care, not disease care.

Doesn't it make more sense to take care of yourself in the first place, thereby preventing disease?
