Who is Winning the War on Chronic Disease?

8/31/2023

0 Comments

 
So many of us are going along day to day just trying to get by.
Unbeknownst to most, there is a war going on. I’m not just talking about Ukraine, I am talking about the war on your health and your freedom. Some may say this is too radical. Here are some facts and I’ll let you be the judge:


  1. According to the World Health Organization, the US healthcare system is ranked the highest in cost and responsiveness throughout the world, but it ranks 37th in overall performance, and 72nd among the 191 member nations surveyed in terms of the overall health of its citizens.
  2. The incidence of chronic disease in children in 1960 was 1.2%.  Currently it is 52%.
  3. Human fertility has decreased by 52% in the last 40 years in all western nations.
  4. 1 in 3 males currently have sperm counts in the infertile range.
  5. 1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in a given year. 1 in 5 children, either currently, or at some point during their life, have had a seriously debilitating mental illness.
  6. 1 in 25 Americans lives with a serious mental illness, such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, or major Depression.
This has dramatically increased since 2020 due to the pandemic. I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. A few questions come to mind:
  1. What is the root cause of this downward spiral?
  2. What can we do about it?
These are the topics I will explore in the coming posts. In my experience in practice I am constantly amazed and awed by the healing power of the body, often despite what we do to it.

This information is not meant to make you depressed or fatalistic. This information is meant to wake you up to what’s going on. You have my assurance you can do something about it!
Stay tuned...
