Fear and health in the U.S.

The Flu Season is Here, again! Are you going to participate, or not? If you wish to participate this season, you can get a flu shot, if you are a part of the “at risk” population or you can bribe a health care professional into giving (selling) you a shot. ‘ No’, wait, that was last years flu season. This year, we have the “regular” flu (Swine, Hong Kong, etc.) and the new, even more powerful and fearful “Bird Flu”. And, if you have been following this new flu, you have been informed of the possibility of a pandemic. Pandemics are a real big deal concerning health and they include such things as: the plagues of Europe and other parts of the world, Smallpox, Cholera and the like. Pandemic is a frightening word and it has been left, sort of unclear, whether or not there is a shot for this latest flu, flying our way. So, with this flu we now have fear and uncertainty.
You can participate in this years flu season by allowing FEAR and you’re compromised, deficient immune system to allow you to suffer the flu. If you don’t wish to participate, now is the time to start boosting or enhancing your immune system (actually you should have been working on this already) , so start doing it. You won’t learn how to enhance your immune system from your average conventional health care professional. They will; however, assist you with possibly avoiding the flu and maintaining your compromised immune system.
The promoted, advertised, preferred way to participate in this year’s season is to get a flu shot. This year there should be enough shots available for the usual flu types. Fear, or heightened fear and anxiety, have been added to the 2005 season events by the new Bird Flu. Now you can participate in an enhanced flu season, and if you are anxious enough or have enough fear, your health care professional can prescribe a drug that will diminish your anxiety and fear symptoms and alter your brain chemistry. One great thing about anxiety and fear is that you can continue to take the drugs, with their wonderful mind dulling affects, long after the flu season has ended. Our health care system continues to be but one source for flu shots, mind dulling drugs and compromised immune functions.
[Our health care system, or more appropriately our Medical Control Complex, is the Supper Wall Mart for all types of medical care, but you will need to watch out for your own health.]
We are exposed to massive amounts of fear based propaganda and fear is a powerful emotion for control. We are told of and told of the need to remember terrorism,” weapons of mass destruction”??, missing nuclear weapons, violent crime and nuclear weapons on main street. Fear immobilizes, tends to cancel productive thought processes and causes most individuals to spend excessive thought energy on problems allowing little energy for solutions. Fear takes the place of creativity and intelligent actions. Fear can deplete your immune functions and cause you to be sick. We tend to be the way we think we are and if you have a fear of being sick, you likely will become sick. Depak Chopra has a great book on thoughts and health “Ageless Body, Timeless Mind.”
[Empowered people are less fearful; people that are victims are more fearful and more unhealthy.]
The U.S. spends more money on health care per citizen, than any other nation in our world. This year, we will spend about $l,600,000,000,000 total; I think that is the way to write 1.6 trillion and the amount has been increasing by about 3 to 4% every year. So, we should be healthy and getting even more healthy. Not so. About 65 million people suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease; 20 million suffer from asthma; 60% of adults and 15% of children are overweight and about half are obese; 18.5 million suffer from diabetes; about 5 million adults have Alzheimer’s; 12million have mild cognitive impairment; 22% of adults suffer from sort of mental disorder; 18% are diagnosed with depression and about 5% of all children are diagnosed with ADHD. About 60% of our total population have a fear of getting the flu. And – these are just some of the major health concerns in the U.S. We do not seem to be healthy and we are not getting good bang for our health care buck. All old news.
Our medical control complex will spend about $150 plus million this year buying political favors and influence to make sure that they stay in control and that our health care system stays the same. “They” fear an epidemic of wellness. If you are not well, you could be suffering from Dysfunctional Health Care Syndrome and if you are not happy with the dollar amounts you spend on “Health Care,” you are suffering from Dysfunctional Politician/Political System Syndrome.
[The solution – start to gain control over your health]
The process of gaining control is doable; however, it will cost you some time and effort. Learn of, use and support alternative health practices, because they work. If you do this, the medical control complex will have to let some of their politician’s go, to fend for themselves and do their jobs. A little knowledge can be dangerous to those that want health care to remain the same, so gain a great deal of knowledge and become a real threat.

If you don’t look out for your health, the looking will not take place. bbrown
