I wouldn't get too excited about the 100 gallons of honey, though. Maybe it should have been 100 pounds? That would be more consistent with reality.

Glad some folk are keeping these stories alive though. We can't rely on Monsanto and the Pharmaceutical companies to inform us about bees and their products.

Making the story of the bee available to the masses could do more for the National Health than all the insurance schemes imaginable. Mind you, there would be a total collapse (nothing like the partial one now in progress) if all these massive international companies quit circulating the money around.

Most folk work either directly or indirectly for these monster companies. They are like the tent poles that keep the tent off the ground. Take them away, and it all falls down.

But as individuals we can live independent of the system in health and happiness. We might not get promoted to the top job, nor get the biggest bucks, but what price will we put on health and happiness?

Every product of the beehive is something of a nutritional and medical wonder.

If it weren't for the fact of them being so freely and cheaply available, we would never have developed our great contrivance known as Medical Science.

Most of the improvements we think we have made over natural remedies and foods were only sales pitches for selling a more profitable product.

Admittedly we have developed skills and techniques to deal with critical situations that appear to be desirable, but not necessarily when they keep us alive against the natural odds, as life for some of these survivors can be a real hell on earth.

Then there is the problem of iatrogenic disease. Iatrogenic disease is not the fault of the doctor, it is not caused by the doctor necessarily, it is the product of too much doctoring, and as individuals we have as much and more responsibility for that as the doctors do.

What President Obama needs to promote to the people of the world is a health care plan that puts the responsibility for one's health squarely on the shoulders of the individuals themselves. That would be so revolutionary; it will never work, not for the masses anyway.

But it is the very best plan there is for optimum health.

It is the culture of doctoring that is killing America, and it is deeply ingrained in us all.

Cheers,

John
