Here is a clip:

This year nearly five billion prescriptions will be filled in the United States. That is on average one prescription EVERY month for EVERY person in the US. We are spending nearly two trillion dollars for care that is focused on the treatment of disease rather than the promotion of health.

It is indisputable that our current system has enormous benefit and value in the treatment of acute medical emergencies that require the use of trauma centers, skilled surgeons, and intensive care units to help repair and heal us when we are injured. When this system is applied to chronic degenerative health conditions that compromise more than 95% of the health problems it becomes a miserable failure.

Let me be more precise: it is a miserable failure for you.

It is a stroke of genius for the drug and food industry who distort the evidence to convince you that it is perfectly logical to use the highly effective acute trauma approach for chronic health conditions. Successful implementation of this major philosophical shift allows them to create windfall profits.

The drug industries have traditionally been one of the most profitable industries on the planet, generating hundreds of billions of dollars in profit annually.

This enormous amount of capital has created the largest legislative lobbying influence in Congress. That drug lobby has been able to manipulate U.S. laws to maintain a system that perpetuates their influence through tax breaks, a weakened regulatory system with the FDA, and loosened marketing restrictions that allow them to target their message to ever-growing segments of the population.

You need to know that the current health care system is designed to create fear.
