FOR YOUR INFORMATION - DO
YOU KNOW...
On examining the vital statistics for 1995 of 20 industrialized countries, it becomes clear that we definitely have a
big problem with the overall approach to medical care in America. In 1993 the cost of health care in the U.S. was almost $3,300
per person, which ranked the highest cost of healthcare per capita in the world (the 2nd highest was 50% less!). Despite the
staggering healthcare costs, U.S. was 17th (out of 20) in life expectancy!
On the other hand, Japan and Sweden are ranked #1 and #2 in longevity despite having healthcare costs
of 50% to 75% less per capita than the US. According to World Health Organization (WHO), the main reason is that other developed
countries approach prevention and treatment in a very different manner - they even use alternative solutions that are barely
tolerated or rather expressly discouraged in America despite their proven and well-documented successes.
Prevention is always much higher on the agenda of the
citizens and governments of the countries on the top of the list. On the other hand if a doctor in America dares to introduce
a natural, less costly method to a patient, no matter how safe or effective, his medical license can be revoked and he
can be prosecuted and persecuted in many ways.
In 1999 life expectancy standing in the U.S. plummeted
from #17 to #24 in the world according to the World Health Organization whose Dr. Christopher Murray, MD., Ph.D. had this
to say about it: "Basically you die earlier and spend more time disabled if you are an American rather
than a member of most other advanced countries."
