The Costly Consequences of Free Healthcare
If universal healthcare becomes a reality in the U.S., we will also experience a massive escalation of diseases and disease-related fatalities. Many people who currently cannot afford costly medical expenses or medical insurance tend to seek more natural, inexpensive ways of dealing with illness; or else they don’t seek any treatment at all. Given the high fatality rate among people receiving medical treatment, the risk of dying from no treatment at all is actually very slim. The no-treatment, low fatality risk, however, would be discouraged by “free healthcare.” When I lived in Cyprus (Europe) in the 1980s I witnessed an entire population that used to rely mostly on natural methods of healing for thousands of years suddenly become hooked on the modern medical system because it became freely available. Giving something away for free has always been an effective marketing tactic to make people do or buy what they otherwise would never do or buy. Offering free healthcare has deceived and misleads the people of Cyprus, Germany, France, England, Canada, and it will do the same for the people of the United States, if implemented.
This is not to say that this trend is entirely the fault of the medical system. As long as people do not take responsibility for themselves, for their physical and emotional health, and for their dietary habits and lifestyle, we will have such a dangerous system in place. Millions of people experience devastating consequences resulting from medical treatments that are not warranted at all.

Wow, totally eye opening. I had never thought of it that way. Thanks!
I love that you're writing new stuff here on your blog and on Facebook. I'm learning so much. Thanks for sharing your wealth of information.

Here in Germany people tend to accept almost everything in conventional medicine, because the health insurance does pay it mostly. Even worse, people don’t look after themselves, eat everything that is chewable, smoke and take the paid asthma spray to enable further smoking (a quotation), eat burgers en masse, etc.. And most of them do also give their children the same non-species-appropriate artificial or non-bodytype-appropriate food. Independent on status, education-level and income. Somme do try their best, but don't have or take the time to get more and adequate informations. Informations are very different and more and more confusing.
Our chancellor has told the US-Government roundabout half a year ago, that the German Health Insurance system was a success. But she did not tell for whom.
It was installed in Germany in the 19th century to get people into the new factories and to the monotone assembly lines. The temptation worked. Since then people became more dependent on chemical medicine. Stately allowed advertising worsened it later on.
And now people are incapable to manage their health/ lives by their own, because they unlearned it for generations.
I see some of my aquaintances taking several conventioncal drugs for several illnesses, and each of them influences the other illness at its worse. A devil’s cycle you cannot escape … except via (7 very successful) liver flushes (I’ve tried until now … sadly with rising tooth infections probably because of the set free toxins).
But there is a beginning change in Germany. There SEEMS to be not enough money anymore (although the national product is still rising), so that health-services are cut down. The patients have to pay more on their own now. The so called ‘Financial crisis’ has contributed to that. And our surgeons begin more and more to watch themselves more as entrepreneurs than as surgeons, so that patients start losing their confidence in them.
But I think, it will take a very long time until the Western people will find back to more natural effective and even less expensive ways of healing.
It will take again generations to reverse the process of unlearning.
People here and there don’t know about their own contribution to diseases … and very often I think, they don’t even want to learn about it, because they are to comfortable with the existing health system. And media are missleading, too. One journalist copies the writing of the other ones, and that's it.
Thank you soooo much for your books.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate that. I am certain that the health care crisis will head toward collapse and people will go back (or forward, for many) to the natural ways of living and eating. I am encouraged by so many Germans doing the liver flushes now, which indicates to me they are taking their health in their own hands.

Maybe you have a part of reason, if you are thinking in rich people. They can't pay for their excesses in eating, in drugs, tobacco ... What about the poor? they do not choose the food they take, eat the food they can. I think you should think about that. It's easy to prescribe private care health when you have enought money to pay for.
Thanks

Sukie,
I have travelled to many parts of the world, lived in India and Africa, and spent time with the poor. Where people did not move to the large cities, but remained in the rural areas where they still had some small pieces of land to cultivate their food, even if poor, they lived healthy lives.
In Russia, for example, nearly everyone has a small piece of a garden where they grow their own food. Real poverty, where people cannot afford good, fresh food, exists almost exclusively in the big cities. People often make short-sighted choices, leaving their small farms and replacing their more natural ways of life without major expenses, with office or factory jobs that turn them into modern slaves where they can no longer afford natural, healthy foods.
Costa Rica is another good example of that. The only impoverished people there live in San Jose. Elsewhere, in the rural areas, nobody goes hungry, even if housing is very basic. It is extremely rare for anyone to not eat well there. In the US, on the other hand, we have millions of children who go hungry every day, but these kids live in cities.
I don’t recommend private health care either, but in my books I recommend simple, effective approaches that mostly cost nothing at all. It is very inexpensive to be healthy or to restore health when ill, if you know how to go about it. For example, studies after studies have shown that regular sunlight exposure (vitamin D) can reverse up 77% of cancers, and prevent up 80% of all diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and osteoporosis. It doesn’t cost anything to go out in the sun.
Likewise, not being vaccinated is enough to keep the immune system strong and prevent about 90% of all diseases. Just one vaccine can suppress and damage the immune system for years or for good. Non-vaccinated children rarely fall ill. During epidemics, like a recent mumps outbreak in the Northeast, 77% of the infections occurred among those fully vaccinated.
Furthermore, studies have shown that where medical services are not available, mortality rates plummet. At least 990,000 people in the US die each year because of medical treatment, not because of the diseases they are being treated against, just from the doctors’ treatments (iatrogenic disease). The medical industry primarily is a profit making business that provides jobs and makes as much, if not more, money than the oil industry.
I have not seen a medical doctor in 45 years. Medical doctors weren’t able to help me anyway when they told me I had about a year to live. I learned to help myself, and it didn’t cost me a penny to save my own life. So yes, you can be poor and still be healthy.
Warmly,
Andreas

I completely agree with this...people think being poor is being disgrace. It seems the system wants to tell us in news in campaigns against poverty in the world how lucky we are in our modern world compared with the third world, so we don´t disagree about health system, education, way of living..
I lived in Costa Rica also, i discovered that we have a lot of things to learn in Europe from the so called third world
peole seemed happier, much more gentle..even their faces looked brighter and prettier
