I’m going to roll out some stats to you that are kind of heavy and disturbing. Most people are totally unaware of these statistics, but you should be. You need to be! You should especially be aware if you have children or elderly parents. 

Countries like Cuba, Taiwan, Korea, Slovakia, and Slovenia have LOWER infant mortality rates than the United States. Infant mortality rate compares the number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in the same year. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country.

• 70% of Americans take a prescription drug (according to the Mayo clinic) 
• 25% of all children take a prescription drug.
• 1 in 3 American adults are currently at risk for developing kidney disease (because of the drugs).
• The Autism rate in 1975 was 1 in 5,000. Today (according to the CDC) it is 1 in 68
• 30% of people aged from 45-65 reports a diagnosis of arthritis. (50% over age 65)
• The U.S. spends more on health care per person that in any other country in the world spending $8,362.00 per person. Yet, we rank 11^th in the industrialized world in overall health and also rank 42^nd in total life expectancy compared to other countries.
• We also consume 70 % of all the pharmaceuticals produced on the planet. 
• Current trends predict that 1 out of every 3 people you know will have diabetes by 2050!
• This year about 564,800 Americans are expected to die of cancer—more than 1,500 people a day. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart disease. One of every four deaths in the US is from cancer. Since 1990, there have been approximately 5 million cancer deaths. 

These stats don’t exist in any other country but the United States! 

Something is very wrong.

Now…Take your phone out and look at a picture of your children, parents, or spouse. These are the people in your life those statistics represent. It doesn’t have to be this way! 

• It’s your choice to trust what the CDC tells you or your child needs. 
• It’s your choice to trust the FDA and their inverted Food pyramid.
• It’s up to you to question your doctor about side effects and long terms effects of being on a medication for the rest of your life.
• You have the right to question your pediatrician about the HPV vaccine and others.
• It’s up to you to question authority when they tell you what you or your child needs.”
• It's also up to you to move your butt and exercise!

YOU are the best person to take care of yourself! PLEASE do your research!!

Unfortunately “special interest groups” (the ones with the most money who contribute to lobbyist) win out when it comes to passing new legislation even though it is not in the best interest of you the citizen.

It’s your choice to be a part of this so-called “Health care System” or not.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE A STATISTIC DON’T DO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING!
