Follow the money. Is there money to be made in curing many of our diseases? Bypass surgery does not extend life in a majority of cases, but it sure makes a lot of money for those providing the services. Read a book - "Overdo$ed America" by John Abramson. Read the work by doctors such as Dean Ornish, Caldwell Esselstyn, Hans Diehl, or John McDougall. When the real cause of many diseases (lifestyle - diet) is presented, most people will scoff at the ideas put forward, because people say 1) it can't really be that simple, 2) I want to eat what I want to eat, 3) food does not cause disease, 4) my doctor did not tell me that, so it can't be true, 5) many more excuses. Speaking as a recovering food junky and medical professional, there is a world of truth that is buried very deep by corporate America. If the truth were known, that people can be healthy by choice for a vast majority of diseases, people will be very upset. We will all eventually die, tis true, but so much better to get sick, and be dead at the end of a week, than to linger for years with many of the chronic diseases we inflict on ourselves....
