What is the Function of real health (not sick) care.

What is the function of real health care , an article from the Huff Post, brings in to very clear focus one of the biggest problems; if not the biggest problem with health (sick) care in America.   It's not surprising  that American corporations spend billions of dollars each year on lobbying Legislators. The pharmaceutical industry and the pharmaceutical insurance drug complex industry were at or near the top of the lists of corporation that buy and sell elected and appointed officials like a kid in a candy store. The problem is not the health care system as such, but the profit motive that comes from the giant for profit Big Pharma and Health Insurance industry.  Side effects and drug recalls happen all the time and the FDA continues to let these corporations put dangerous drugs out in the market place. Many drugs cause problems much worse than what they are intended to stop.  They do not promote health, but cover up symptoms and sickness and often do not address the causes of disease at all, just the symptoms. Many of these drugs must be considered unsafe, and some are made from genetically modified organisms, and GMO bacteria as well.

It is time for a return to a return to real health care including, Naturopathy, homeopathy and oriental forms of healing, or herbal healing ,and nutritional counseling for keeping people healthy. Putting poison in the environment and on our food, or in our body to cure disease is still crazy. These toxins in our food, and our biosphere are at the root of most of the problem.

Many  GMO foods alter organ function    Soy, BT corn and other GMO foods are allergy causing,  and can even change DNA in people who eat them. GMOs have many worse side effect than are covered by the regular corporate press, and these are not actually side effects, but direct effects. GMOs have been outlawed, or at the least must be labled in many countries outside the US. This is one gun that can not be unshot, GMOs can and do grow and replicate on there own and pollute the gene pool of  our world.

GMOs are a  Ticking time bomb,  the paradigm is wired backwards. If we are going to promote health care in the US we must promote health care and not sick care, and this must start with clean air, water and food. Drugs and chemicals will not cure the problem, they are at the root of our problem with healthcare in the US.

So, what is the remedy to a situation like this we find ourselves in today? There are   Better ways to keep people and our environment healthy  without the use of  toxic chemicals, or GMOs to feed our people or the world. Whatever type of agriculture or permaculture is used it must come from the point of view that it is about food for people and not for profit, or health care ( not sic care) for people and not for profit.  

Health Care is back at the top of the Agenda in America and we must push for a return to sanity and push your state and federal legislators to support adding Naturopathy, homeopathy, massage, and oriental forms of healing, or herbal healing, and nutritional counseling for keeping people healthy.
