The plots thicken...


US life expectancy falls as failure of conventional medicine becomes obvious

U.S. life expectancy has dropped yet again, according to a report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. While overall life expectancy slipped from 77.9 years to 77.8 years, the report uncovered a surge of deaths from chronic lower respiratory diseases.

This report reveals a disturbing disconnect between the increasing money being spent on health care ("sick care") in the United States versus the lack of positive results we're getting in return. The U.S. health care system is the most expensive in the world, and yet life expectancy is falling while U.S. citizens are nowhere near the healthiest in the world.

So why is life expectancy falling?

Primarily because the U.S. health care system does nothing to prevent disease. It is a system based entirely on treating symptoms of disease -- "managing" disease -- rather than teaching people how to avoid disease through nutrition, foods and natural remedies.

In fact, the very idea of preventing disease and increasing life expectancy is strongly opposed by the medical system as well as the U.S. government:

• The conventional medical system thrives on disease and would lose money and power if fewer people were stricken with cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

• The U.S. government, facing financial bankruptcy due to its runaway entitled program obligations, actually saves money when people die younger. The younger people die, in other words, the less the government pays out under Medicare and social security programs.

The two largest organizations currently in charge of health care in America -- the government and the sick-care industry -- both have a financial incentive to keep Americans sick or to see them die earlier.
