All you need is health : Comments

By Ariel Gallo, published 30/8/2016

'Health care', has been the most popular pair of words for the promotion of medicine since time immemorial, but medicine treats disease and ony obliquely promotes health.

Yes and able to agree with some of this stuff, including with changes of attitude within the, we know best, medical profession?

There is the case against statins, the biggest money spinner of all time for big pharma!

We do need to cure aids, another big money spinner for you know who? A possible hardly ever investigated cure, may lie in a combination of already approved leukemia treatment, prescribed in combination with another already approved common useage rheumatoid arthritis management measure?

The combination apparently works by compelling the virus, sheltering within various parts of the body, to come out and be exterminated by the other efficacious chemo medication? And given the way the virus is able to mutate, a cure is a must do!

That said we do need to approach medicine from the aspect first and foremost as preventative care!

Some of which can be universally applicable exercise coupled to improved nutrition, which in turn may be connected to poverty alleviation FIRST! Anything else is just cart before the horse prevarication!

After that, what remains available via comparatively cheap community nursing are routine (cheap as chips) hyperbaric oxygen therapy, HRT, which must also include some HGH so as to mitigate against some of the acceptable risks pertinent to the preventative therapy?

By allowing even lower (safer long term) doses to be much more efficacious? It'd be a nice change to see old folk able to tolerate a minor fall the doesn't result in broken bones and subsequent incarceration in high care costly nursing homes!

Last but not least, has to be 50 year old, approved chelation therapy, and the vastly improved vascular health it may well promise? As borne out in well over six million case studies? Vascular health and or its lack may well be implicated in alzheimer's and dementia?

There's a lot to be said about retaining all your marbles to the end of your days; and be able therefore to share years of experience and moderated maure wisdom with the folk, who need it now as never before!?

Hmmm

I suspect that a translator/linguist might be suggesting What Needs to Be Done With Health from an unexceptional position of the average knowledge level of us other punters.

Many branches of medicine promote better health:

Dieticians, Nuticionists, Sports Health Physiotherapists, GPs, Personal Trainers, Life Coaches, Sports Coaches very often advise:

- Lose Weight or keep your weight at what you were when you were 30 and fit.

- Drink less.

- Don't smoke!

Rocket science?

Speaking as a former coach and one time competitive middle distance runner, It isn't rocket science Pete, though the why and how explanation might be?

Starting with targeted exercise, which invariably increases the blood flow and oxygenation of the whole body rather than just the moving parts!

Then there's proper nutrition and protein requirements. Often replaced in the diet of the poor by carbohydrate bulking. And because it's all some can afford after paying the rent and electricity!

I mean a single bed sit in sydney, invariably costs more than a single pension! And then we wonder why the latte sipping city centric are so far removed from the real world of the common herd? And where privilege often includes gym membership and an exercise routine replete with a personal trainer?

That said, preventive medicine is not exclusively limited to your to do or not do list, but those (resisted almost as if their existence depended on it, big pharma) pearls I've outlined as well!

Well it would be so amazing if a dude rides or runs a certain amount of kilometres per year he or she get a massive discount, of like 1000 dollars a year, on taxes or whatever.

Thanks for all the comments so far. There are so many therapies from orthodox and other medical practices. However, my proposition is not in any way related to therapies, and millions of qualified people can take care of that. The problem appears when a person needs advice about a healthy lifestyle. I am 79 years old and did not get to be healthy through any therapy. This has involved a long process, because health advice for an individual of any age in different conditions is impossible without the help of a qualified professional, which there is none.

A 102 yr-old was shirty because a uni wouldn't let him travel there to do research, he had to stay home. So yeah, pensioners get a quote on their use by date and retire say 6 months before dropping off the perch. Taxes up, pensions down and bicycle commuting wrinklies get a tyre and bike pump allowance.

I "get" the point of the article the author wishes to make, a medical system which is designed to promote health, as an addition to the existing mono model which simply treats I'll-health.

What I observe in my ordinary travels through a day, is the agony of many people who effectively exist outside of the current mono health system model; relegated to a life of slow death from chronic disease, by inability to stump up with spare dollars enough to utilise its benefits.
For many people, disease will rage untreated until sufficient bodily damage forces entry to hospital through the emergency entrance.

To be euphemistic, the avoidance of cigarettes and whisky and willd wild women, would best suit positive health outcomes!
However, before it becomes necessary to perform a major societal correction, to force determinations of public health back onto track; viz a viz Phillippines president Duterte's attack on the unhealthy drug trade, this author has a point!

Orthodox medical care has to be careful not to make individuals too healthy or they will be out of business. That is the crux of the problem.
Only time they will be needed is for things like life threatening accidents or official pronouncement of death for the authorities.

In my travels through life, the vast majority of health disorders are constantly related to stubborn attitudes towards self discipline in the application of healthy lifestyles. Of course, genetic disorders are always going to be there and they will require a seperate treatment plan, only way of course they will be breed out is with the practice of widespread scale selective breeding techniques. Always a moral dilemma depending who you ask.

Whole industries manipulate and thus seduce individuals into sedentary lifestyles (addiction to visual technologies like TV, videos etc) and high fat or carbohydrate intakes because of the clever marketing with "feel good" foods and drinks. Again, a lack of self control quickly overcomes and wins out in the end for the vast majority of the population. The psychological tricks they use to get folks hooked on processed food is quite breath taking (pardon the pun).

An individual or community that is too healthy, if such a thing could exist, is the biggest threat to the massive medical care industry.
