There is a lot of conversation going on, yet no one is looking at the 10,000 lb elephant in the room. (No offense to elephants) I'm gonna give it to you straight for a minute, no sugar coating it. Sugar one of the ways we ended up here in the first place, but that is another tangent for another day. American's are sick. Our underlying health is actually the worst on the entire planet. Let that sink in for a minute. Our lack of knowledge or access or quite frankly even caring about our health has caused us to be vulnerable. Our vulnerability is actually contributing to a national crisis even before the worldwide pandemic which put a gigantic spotlight on our poor underlying health. It now affects our economy more than anything has in the past 8+ decades.
Think about this, what if we did makes changes? What if we did focus on our health? What if our nation’s underlying health was stable enough that when things come around we could withstand? Now to get to this place we have to make sweeping changes and start now. But hey, we are Americans and from what I’ve learned in the past nothing could phase us. We rolled up our sleeves and we do the work.
Over the next few blog posts I’ll share ideas, that if adopted on a national level, could change our nations future. Of course there will be many who disagree and say this can’t be done. But I am certain that we can make vast improvements and it’ll be like a ripple effect in profoundly positive ways. When one person feels better, their body is working better, symptom free, they begin to make changes in their own lives that impact their communities. Imagine 10 people, 100, 1,000,000. Why not try? We only have one way to go and that is up, towards better health.
First and most importantly, we need elected leaders to prioritize health in the people. For decades now your health has been for sale. I know I didn’t put mine up for sale, did you? Elected leaders, of ALL parties, have allowed lobbyist for many major industries to effect laws, products and marketing. Even mentally conditioning us to the way they want us to think through marketing. This has to STOP. Political leaders accept millions of dollars from companies and industries and these companies continue to get millions and billions in profits while Americans, get sicker, with more and more health issues, diabetes, obesity, ever expanding waistlines, etc and with even less access to the very things that will help them.
I can hear it now, it’s always been this way… that doesn’t mean it should continue. Did you know that America has only banned 30 chemicals from our products, due to harm in humans, yet Canada upwards of 700 and Europe over 1500? Did you know that a new chemical is treated like our justice system, it is innocent until proven guilty. Yet, true and proper safety studies would show how these can affect people before they are given to the people? It’s like we are the guinea pigs in multiple studies and let me tell you it doesn’t look good. Did you know that multinational companies send cleaner formulated products to Europe because they have to and don’t here because no one or no law makes them? Up until just a few years ago Kraft Mac’n’cheese sold in America to our kids, contained many food additives, chemicals and dyes that are illegal in Europe? They sent cleaner product to the kids in Europe because they had to, to continue to sell their products. The only reason they changed in America was due to the work of the Food Babe. Did you know that other countries will check the levels of mold found in coffee and reject entire shipments, the rejected shipments get sent to America, because no one checks. Did you know that we are one of only two countries in the world that allow the pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to consumers? Think how your nightly news hour may look different without all the drug ads. This change may even affect what is reported, without broadcasting companies looking out to not offend their major ad customers because they want to keep their ad dollars coming in. New stories and slant of journalism is very sensitive towards this. Always follow the money.
We deserve a leader with the integrity to truly help the American people by standing up to industry (quite a few of them) and DECLINE the campaign donations because they want to do the right thing for the people and not be bought. I believe that we, the people, will prevail, we will fight every step of the way if we have to. Yet, if we had a leader that was on OUR side, we would not let our health become a vulnerability to the state of our nation.
Over the past few months, I’ve watched and waited. I’ve been listening for a voice to stand up and share what the people could be doing to help themselves. And that voice never came, so I am willing to share what I know to help more people. Right now at this very moment, you can begin to make changes to help your underlying health. In relation to the world wide health event we are living through, you can do quite a lot to support your body and when you do that your immune system functions better.
Below I share some things that you can do right now to support your body and you will see that many of them don’t cost much. Put down your soda, put back your junk food, stop driving through the fast food drive thru… these products were all created by someone who bought your health. But guess what, that doesn’t mean it has to be for sale any longer. You can be in charge now, you can take back the control and I can help you along the way. Your wellbeing is your birth right.
