Looking for a health solution in the Trillion-Dollar Industry of hype and promises?

The pharmaceutical industry has produced many life-saving drugs. It has also encouraged us in the mentality that someone else, by handing out a pill, can save us from the effects of what we choose to put into our mouths.

Oooh but... We don't want to be responsible for the food and lifestyle choices we make. It would be much more comfortable and enjoyable to carry on the way we are and have someone else fix our problems.

SO - we run to the doctor, we run to the health store, and we say "Fix me please!" The cash-register rings, and we rush off, drugs or remedy in hand, expecting to carry on as usual and see an improvement in our condition.

Because drugs were created to be fast-acting, we've also come to expect fast results from remedies of all kinds, and if they don't come, we go back to try something else... And the cash-register rings again.

What nonesense is this? Think about it for a moment: we have a lifetime of poor choices behind us (many of them not ours), and we expect it fixed at the drop of a hat? Have you ever heard of the man who went for open-heart surgery that was 100% successful, yet a couple of years later he was beginning to suffer from the same problem. How come?

Because he went right on doing what he had always done, and as we all know, doing that produces the same results as we've always had...
