Maîtrisez Votre Acné la revue Review Americans now spend over $1.5 trillion annually on medical care. There is no end in sight to rising costs. From the medical community's standpoint, why should there be? If you have a cash cow you milk it for all it is worth.The public's and the government's only protestation is when there isn't enough money. The question is not whether we need more drugs, vaccines, diagnostic machines, lab tests, surgeries and hospital facilities, but rather how will it be paid for. The medical behemoth is considered as essential to life as food and water and thus it is petted, pampered and protected.

While it gorges itself and swells to obscene size, everyone clamors for unlimited access to it by way of insurance and government entitlement programs.Now then, if the medical system we have in place were truly decreasing disease, optimizing people's health, increasing healthy life span and decreasing mortality that would be one thing. But as we have learned from the foregoing, that is not at all the case. Modern medical care does not prevent disease or improve health; it is the number one killer. Medical consumers are lambs being led to the slaughter. They protect, cuddle, honor and take pride in its techno-wizardry, and then wonder why it is getting so rotund as they feed it by marching zombie-like right into its mouth.

The gorging and human sacrifice is ignored because it is assumed that the esoteric scientific sophistication, shiny stainless steel and elaborate machines are the best there is and if it is failing in any respect then it just needs more dollar--to do what it is doing but only more and better. Isolated heroic successes lead everyone to believe everything is surely on track and that all it will take is more dollars and everyone's cure will be a heroic success.Time to step back, take a deep breath and oxygenate the brain a little.What does it say about our society when a huge percentage of the gross national product is centered on illness? Shouldn't it ring an alarm - other than the cry to increase taxes and create medical entitlement programs and insurance to guarantee that everyone can participate even more and grow it even further?

You would think that with all the money thrown at the problem, health would be improving. But it is not, in spite of the propaganda that health solutions are in a pill, on a surgery table or just around the corner ... if we would just fund more research. Doesn't the outrageous growth of medical expenditure in the absence of proportionate salubrious results speak to the failure of the system, not its success? Shouldn't health care, by definition, be moving in the opposite direction and be self-eradicating?When something is so clearly amuck, it's time to take a close look at the philosophical underpinnings and assumptions. The underlying premise of modern medicine is reductionistic materialism. However, the body is not only fundamentally not matter, it is all one, it is holistic and intimately linked with the rest of the world. The materialistic assumption that we are a mere amalgam of data, parts and pieces that can be manipulated at will, and a chemical soup held in by a membrane--a sort of test tube made of skin--is neither scientific nor rational...nor does it work.
