Get Ready to Change Your Focus and Improve Your Health for Life

The facts are in, the evidence is abundant, and the conclusion is obvious-something is wrong with our American "health-care" system. Here are some of the facts:

Americans spend more money on health care than any other nation on the face of the planet (over 15% of our entire nation's expenditures). While we comprise only 5% of the world's population, half of all the drug prescriptions in the world are taken by Americans.

This would not be so bad if we were the healthiest nation on the planet, but we are not. A report by the World Health Organization in 2000 ranked the U.S. 37th out of 190 nations in health care services. France was rated #1.

In terms of life expectancy; America ranks 42nd. Two decades ago we ranked 11th. Experts tell us that American life expetancy is continuing to decrease and our children won't live as long as we will. France, Spain and Japan rank on top in terms of life expectancy and they all spend less money on health care than we do. What is wrong with this picture?

More than 1.7 million Americans die of a chronic disease each year. Chronic disease accounts for about 70% of all deaths in the United States. Most of these deaths are caused by three diseases-heart disease, cancer and diabetes. These diseases are not just caused by old age, either. They are striking younger and younger people every year.

The American medical system also has one of the worst track records for making mistakes of any health care system in the world. Medical mistakes are ranked as the 6th leading cause of death, and that's merely the information that gets reported.

There is really a simple explanation for all of this. Americans are mistaking disease care for health care. Modern medicine treats diseases and should really be called disease-care. Health care is not what you do to treat disease, it is what you do to- stay healthy, or regain health when it has been lost.

Drugs and surgery are used to treat diseases, but they do not improve health. These disease-oriented tools are not going to make up for poor diet, excessive stress, lack of sleep, lack of exercise or a poor mental attitude. So, if you want to be another statistic in declining life span, increasing degenerative disease and poor health that is affecting most Americans, then stick with the American disease-care system.

But, if you really want to be healthy, then change your focus from treating diseases to building health. It's a simple change of thinking that will reap big gains in health.
