More and more studies have suggested in recent years that there is a very high correlation between a healthy gut flora and a strong and properly functioning immune system.

Right... and one more thing to add is that there is a big time connection between prescription drugs and the damage that it does to the good microbes in one’s gut. At one time, it was believed that it was just the antibiotics that killed off the good gut bacteria....however, all the most recent research suggests that nearly 25% of prescription medication do the same thing from antipsychotics to antivirals.

This is almost certainly one of the primary reasons why people who have little access to our fine medical system have been shown repeatedly to be more healthy and live longer than those who visit medical professionals frequently. There is of course a happy medium in the middle along the lines of a yearly checkup to catch problems that might be doing you in.

Did spending almost unimaginable sums of money on Obamacare have any positive effect on the health of our population??? There is absolutely no evidence at all to support this supposition! In fact it appears to be just the opposite. What did it accomplish? A huge sum of money wasted! An army of newly minted bureaucrats. A whole lot of additional prescription drugs consumed! And a measurably less healthy population since the beginning of its implementation! Leftist feel good BS in action with a predictable result.
