Exited the western medical system

The medical system is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. Death results from errors, medication interactions, and complications from surgery. It's also racist not only discriminating against people of color or with less education (these folks disproportionately get lower quality treatment or none at all) but has very little to do with prevention of disease and almost everything to do with pills and surgery. Pharmaceutical companies have one goal: profit. Using pharmaceuticals is not only expensive but has many harmful side effects. Most pharmaceuticals are derived from one or more "active ingredients" found in plants. However, the so-called "inactive ingredients" removed when manufacturing pills are natures way of balancing the effect of the active ingredients. For example, if you take aspirin, it will cause your stomach to bleed in the long term. This does not occur if you use the plant from which aspirin is derived (spiraea ulmaria). Hospitals also have the same goal of profit. In The China Study, T. Collin Campbell describes a plant-based diet used very successfully on victims of multiple heart attack, who are at very high risk of death. When presented to the hospital board, they weren't interested, explaining that bypass surgery is their biggest money maker. Some "health care system" we have. In general, the medical system depends upon profit from unnecessary surgeries and use of prescription medications. This is accomplished by promoting myths about the genetic basis of disease and our individual constitution. Whereas in reality, the same things make all different kinds of people healthy. Anybody who has seen the food fed to patients in hospitals can see that the health care system has little interest in health. The medical industry is also a major contributor to toxic waste including doxin (a harmful persistent organic pollutant) when plastic medical waste is burned. Health Care Without Harm is doing great work to revolutionize the industry.
For actual health care, I use holistic therapies including Jin Shin Jyutsu and Acupuncture. Most importantly is my pursuit of optimal health through yoga, meditation, plant foods, tea, and an active lifestyle.
