Health Care Reform Bill Sucks

Posted on April 7, 2010 | Leave a comment

The bill passed by congress is fairly useless.  There is really only one kind of health care reform that should have been passed and that is UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!   We need to put the concepts of “health” and “care” back into the equation.  Right now all we got is very minor insurance company reform.

1.  Insurance companies are only in it for profit.  They just want you to pay into the system and then deny you coverage when you actually try to use your insurance.

2.  No current system actually respects or rewards staying healthy.  If they did, then you’d be able to deduct vitamins and supplements as the cost of staying healthy from your taxes or insurance companies would pay for these items.

3.  Control the population and you will control costs.

4.  Illegal immigrants should be treated as necessary but a bill for the cost of the service should be sent to the originating country.  Ideally, anyone in the country illegally should be instantly deported and cared for in their homeland.  The United States should not have to pay for the entire world and anyone who does not see that is deeply delusional.

5.  Our government needs to step up to the plate, so to speak, and stop rewarding companies that make garbage food products with tax breaks and contracts.  If we can have mega companies making trash then we can have these same companies producing quality and truly organic foods for the masses.

6.  Individuals need to wake up and start making healthier choices.  They would be helped in this regard if the big food companies didn’t think it was okay to feed us low-nutrient, high-fat, high-sugar, pesticide/hormone/antibiotic-laden CRAP.

7.  The government is downright ignorant when it comes to pasteurization of dairy products.  RAW MILK is very safe and highly nutritious and boosts immunity.  RAW nuts should be allowed to be just that — RAW, not pasteurized which destroys nutrients.  Our government is a knee-jerk organization without any common sense whatsoever.  Any well educated complementary/alternative medicine practitioner knows the truth about these quality foods.

Healthcare and Washington DC, The Land of Fantasy and B.S.

Posted on December 8, 2009 | Leave a comment

I’m convinced I’m an alien, dropped on planet earth from some far off land, many years ago.  If not that, then perhaps I am from the future, and I’ve come through a worm hole, purpose unknown.  I can think of no other explanation – oh, there is one – that I’m a lot more intelligent than the so-called “intelligent life” that thrive in our nation’s capital, specifically our legislators.

As I’ve listened to the health care reform debate drone on over the past number of months, I realized without a shadow of a doubt that there is no hope for the masses.  Our politicians live in a fantasy land; they may easily have slipped down the rabbit hole along with Alice.  And they’re never coming back up.

If they’re not as stupid as they pretend to be, then it must just be a matter of greed and complacency.  They obviously know nothing about how many people live, never having walked in their shoes.  I’m not talking about the upper middle class or people lucky enough have to have flexible positive flow incomes.  I’m talking about those who are unemployed or self-employed or retired who have extremely limited and static funds.  There is NOTHING left over for anything.

So, how can any legislator think that a person living on such a fixed income is going to magically be able to afford health insurance at any price?  Where is the money going to come from?  They still expect people to pay for what they’re calling a public option health insurance. These D.C. morons just don’t seem to understand this very simple basic principle.  They keep yacking on about public option or private insurance from employers or personal insurance that someone with money can afford to buy.

Advice to politicians:  Stop the yacking, pull your heads out of your asses, climb out of the rabbit hole and get real.  Once and for all do the right thing.

Drinking Water Scam

Posted on June 30, 2009 | Leave a comment

I happen to believe in and follow the advice of many holistic medical practitioners. But the one bit of advice that really irks me is the declaration that I must drink 10-12 or more glasses of water a day. It used to be 8.

The reasoning behind this, they say, is for me to stay hydrated and to be able to flush toxins from my body.

First of all, unless a person drinks absolutely nothing or maybe doesn’t drink enough of any liquid, it’s unlikely they’ll become dehydrated. Coffee, tea and even sodas are all made with water.

As for flushing toxins from our bodies, that’s a farce. Not only is any kind of water available to the public tainted by pesticides, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, bacteria, viruses, parasites and naturally occurring harmful substances like arsenic, but most filters don’t even eliminate all of these things. This is a case of garbage in, without the “garbage out” part.

And even if a person religiously followed their advice and drank all that water and filtered it properly, you can be assured that when it came time to test them for toxins, their bodies would be rampant with every kind of shit man has created.

Drinking lots of water really doesn’t make the shit come out.  It just makes you pee a lot. Coffee, tea and soda will do that too. For the record, I don’t drink soda. That crap will kill you for other reasons.
