Health Care

"Where, Lord?" they asked. He replied, "Where there is a dead body,
there the vultures will gather." NIV Luke 17:37

Health care? Where? Now, I'm totally confused.
For when I'm sick in bed, in soreness lie
My doctor sends to me more poison dye
And I can never win; I only lose.

The medicine just makes my body ache
Then they run some more tests and quickly see
Soon, blood sugar rising higher in me
Then, pills and insulin they say to take.

If stuff they add does not have sugar, there
It seems to me that what they surely do
Is blow away my good pancreas, too
Is that Health care, or blowing poison air?

And as they try to make us all alike
Electrolytes in a sound beating heart
Are very soon just quickly blown apart
I'd like to say, please doctor take a hike.

Or better yet, learn nutrition for me
Prescribe a better working healthy way
To make my immune system smile and say
I'll protect you! Throw pills away, be free.

But are not our doctors guided by us
For we demand the junk with toxins, high
Fast foods with additives and tasty lies
For selfish ways to please ourselves, we fuss.

But when we choose to follow God's pure way
Of truth and love and life with purity
Our bodies can return to healing, free
Would doctors then be pleased to heed God's say?

For Health Care.

Silver Streak darling boy Oh my Iā€™m stunned with admiration this has got to be one of you utter utter best. Truly the line and flow in this is absolutely excellent.

You are always a fabulous writer, in this you have excelled yourself. And you know the subject matter is so close to my heart. I always say the only good doctor is a dead doctor and they think I'm joking. (I'm not)

Fabulous writing cleanse your system darling boy, I know easier said than done. Detox seems the best option but take care there are a lot of crackpot theories out there too.

I hope you're okay darling boy, take care of yourself because where would we be without your fabulous writing? Bereft that's where

  
Love and warm stuff

A nice thought...but I doubt it will ever
be that way...after all...big business
and bigger medicine prevail...

nice thoughts indeed! Health Care in America should be free just as it is free in Canada.

Very nice Newell. It is all about money isn't it. They don't really care if we get better or not. Just keep taking all the expensive stuff that the big drug companies make..so much truth here. floria

Mushy, you are a sweetheart, darling. I'm okay. It was 31 years ago when I had my open heart surgery. One of the very first 10 in Chicago's Mercy Hospital. They botched the operation, and told my family to pray for me to die, as air got to the brain. Instead they prayed for me to live. And I did!

The bypass completely closed up a few years ago and I was told to go home, not lift more than a gallon of water, and just take it easy. Too dangerous to operate! But instead I discovered Chelation and learned about healthy eating, nutrition, minerals and vitamin supplements.

Well, I got so well that I became a red blooded teen age kid, again! My family and friends couldn't keep up with me.

Last month in a cardiac cat the doctors discovered that God grew a collateral artery around the closed right coronary. So much for doctors' opinions. My cardiologist told me, "You don't need me, you got God".

I am now 68 and although there seems to be a little problem with my gall bladder, which is now acting up after stones were detected over five years ago, I do wonderfully well.

With God's help, eating correctly, lots of love and a few vitamins, minerals and Chelating supplements. I also drink only distilled water while taking calcium/magnesium supplements to maintain the mineral balance in my heart.

Hey, out there, there is hope! Email me if you want to know any of my details.

Hi Magnus! Thanks for your comments. If you can prevent sickness by rebuilding your immune system through proper eating and supplements, why not just live without 'em? (at least most of the time.)

Hi RosePetal! The biggest cost is not the bill, although in the US it is criminal! The biggest cost is our quality of life. I believe that when they dispatch lots of tests and pills, we have the diseased, hurting, living dead!

Hi floria! You're right. In fact I believe that doctors create more new sickness than they treat. Of course the problem starts with our poor diets filled with toxin-ridden processed foods in the grocery store and all of those fast fried foods, also filled with toxins and hard to absorb fats. The doctors just hide one set of poisons with others. They hide symptoms as they make new disease.
