The Associated Press published a story about cancer being the costliest disease. The interesting part is the mention of the amount of money allocated for disease causes such as prevention. More money is spent on contagious diseases and the “sibling rivalry” continues.
A different take on the whole disease-money spectrum is this: since the disease process is basically the same, why don’t we concentrate on building up the body. Fragmenting ourselves by having thousands of organizations focused on specific diseases has not really made a dent in life saving. Cancer is one example; it is still the leading cause of death. But wait a minute, if you go to the CDC website, heart disease is the number one cause of death in the U.S. Maybe we are spending too much on cancer in the U.S.
Let’s get back to Vital Aging.
The AP article said cancer hits people when they are young, but heart disease is common in the older population. Isn’t the prevention advice the same for both? We’re told to eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid processed foods and exercise.
Let’s look at the Japanese health system. Smoking and drinking rates are higher in Japan than in the U.S. but they are still healthier. Their philosophy is much different, however. The Japanese rely on technology for diagnosising and measuring progress. Their treatment protocols are more hands on: meaning natural and in the home with family being the care givers. In the U.S. we not only apply technology for diagnosing but for treating, as well. It has not turned out to be as useful for us.
Good old fashioned prevention practices are better for us. And science is proving it! That is why the Vital Aging Protocol is cutting edge and affordable.
Since home care is so much better than institutionalized care, I am bringing Vital Aging to your home:
