In any given long term care facility you have the culmination of the prevalence of the dependence on drugs in this country
People with lists of fifteen to twenty diagnoses, most from lifelong abuse of their bodies. Not a thought to proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, proper leisure activities, work environment, eating habits and environment, a lot of “give me a pill or perform surgery and fix it.”
Now, worse than ever, no one is home to cook a proper meal, forget paying attention to feeding and care, getting kids outside to play, having food ready for the breadwinners to come home to, providing some kind of joy necessary for good health.
Research?
Five thousand years of knowledge of the above basics of health mean nothing to a drug-dependent, pharmaceutical worshipping duped populace. Idiots. Hillary adoring Obama worshipping suckers.
Many plaints from long term care to medical professional diagnoses, on to lifestyle and activities, but it all boils down to big pharma and not doctors (constrained by government payout programs), insurance companies (hog tied to ‘benefit the least among us), and personal nutrition choices (do we blame Rachel Ray)?
Notice I didn’t even mention the dozens of daytime TV scumbag bottom dweller lawyers we see everyday hawking their services to sue the shit out of ‘big pharma’ for you.
And for most of those 5000 years, life expectancy was about 40 years. Infant and child mortality was huge, the average woman had about 13 pregnancies in her lifetime, and two or three of those babies born lived to be adults. Drugs are a good thing, not evil!
