Did you know that each year in the US - $100 billion are spent on medical research.
And you do realize that most of this is spent on developing new pharmaceuticals.
"The data in this article make it plain that we are spending huge amounts of money, more than any other country, to develop new drugs and devices and other treatments," said Dan Fox, president of the Milbank Memorial Fund, a philanthropic group that works on health policy issues.
"But we are not spending as much as we could to disseminate the most effective treatments and practices throughout the health system.
" Does it take an Einstein to figure out that health is the direct result of applying very simple lifestyle practises? This evening I went out to my garden and picked the greens for my salad - chopped up a couple of tomatoes, grated a carrot, sliced and diced a shallot, crumbled a few grams of fetta cheese, sprinkled some herbs, tossed and dressed with a honey/lime/garlic/olive oil dressing and voila - followed by a ripe persimmon and a few sultanas.
I'll go to bed early due to the energy expended in a vigorous gardening project during the day.
I'll sleep soundly until 6:00 am, rise and greet the sun as it spreads its warmth across the tree tops.
I'm happy with my lot and I have no need for a 'physical.
' This is my research into health - it works for me and it will work foryou.
Take responsibility for your own health.
Disease is not a germ that invades and pervades our systems - but rather a condition that has slipped like a stocking without its elasticity.
What one person has done, so can another.
Ladies and gentlemen - it's time to get back to nature.
Make nature work foryou - give it a chance.
