Has Anyone Else Noticed?

I couldn't help but notice the number of dialysis clinics popping up all over the area.  There are approximately 1 clinic for every 10,000 people in many states.  That seems, suddenly, excessive.  Many that I have spoken with in regard to needing dialysis began with "treated" diabetes as well as blood pressure medications.  I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV, but there is a serious correlation between failing health and only managing symptoms, which is what medicine does.

A change of diet and lifestyle is all that will improve health.  Prescriptions for the most part, only manage symptoms, and unfortunately carry with them, side effects.  Many prescriptions now, are prescribed as long term symptom management maintenance, so the side effects of long term usage really isn't understood.

Our bodies were not created to process poison to manage symptoms of poor health.  Diabetes and High Blood Pressure are both lifestyle management issues, and the poison used to manage these problems, over the long term cause other problems, primarily with the kidneys, although other organs can be affected as well.  At the first discovery of diabetes, a change of diet and exercise is immediately "prescribed."  Often, with these changes, accompanied by weight loss, medication is not needed, but if lifestyle changes do not occur, oral medication is usually prescribed, ultimately leading to insulin injections later.

Our society's ill health is based primarily on poor diet, inadequate exercise, and dependency upon pharmaceuticals for symptom management.  There is a better way!
