The word "Doctor" is supposed to mean "Teacher".

A Doctor is supposed to teach you how to get healthy and stay healthy.

Originally, the word ‘doctor’ meant teacher. Look it up for yourself:

From Middle English doctor, doctour ‎(“an expert, authority on a subject”), from Anglo-Norman doctour, from Latin doctor ‎(“teacher”), from doceō ‎(“I teach”). Displaced native Middle English lerare ‎(“doctor, teacher”) (from Middle English leren ‎(“to teach, instruct”) from Old English lǣran, lēran ‎(“to teach, instruct, guide”), compare Old English lārēow ‎(“teacher, master”)).

If doctors are supposed to teach us how to get well and stay healthy… What Happened?

Americans, for the most part, have never been so UN-Healthy!

“Death by Medicine.”

In 2006, Professors Gary Null and Dorothy Smith, along with doctors Carolyn Dean, Martin Feldman and Debora Rasio released a report called “Death by Medicine.”

What they found:  America’s leading cause of death isn’t heart disease or cancer: its conventional medicine- yes, it’s your medical doctor, your hospital, your Rx drugs…

What they found:  ‘Iatrogenic death’ rate in the US (deaths caused by doctors and/or medical treatments) = 783,936 per year.

·        84,059 more deaths than those caused by heart disease in 2001, and

·        230,865 more deaths than those caused by cancer.

Also, these researchers were shocked to find:

·        only 5 to 20% of iatrogenic deaths are reported for fear of lawsuits, and

·        Medical codes for reporting deaths due to drug side effects and other medical errors don’t even exist in many cases.

Summary: The numbers of doctor caused deaths and disability are actually much higher, some think possibly 20 TIMES HIGHER than those reported here.

In the next ten years, these scientists predict iatrogenic (doctor and hospital caused) deaths will total ~7.8 million Americans. This is equal to:

·        A death rate caused by six jumbo jets falling out of the sky every day.

·        “more than all the casualties from all the wars fought by the US throughout its entire history.”

This is how the researchers believe ~7.8 MILLION AMERICANS will Die:

Adverse Drug Reactions

1.06 million

Medical Error

0.98 million

Bedsores

1.15 million

Hospital Infections

0.88 million

Malnutrition in Health Care

1.09 million

Outpatients

1.99 million

Unnecessary Procedures

371,360

Surgery-related

320,000

What Else Did the “Death by Medicine” Doctors Find? In the next decade:

·        164 million Americans will receive unneeded medical treatment.

·        75 million Americans will receive unnecessary medical procedures, of which 15 million of which result in an iatrogenic event.

·        89 million people are hospitalized unnecessarily each year, and 17 million iatrogenic events will occur among this number.

Why Does This Continue to Happen?

What is behind these unacceptable death rates and adverse events?

·        Profit

·        Politics

·        Defensive medicine (manage the disease, prescription drugs, unneeded surgery, chemo)

·        Lack of research on treatments

·        one-size-fits-all drugs

·        lack of doctor-patient time, and

·        the abuse and over-medication of our elderly (and youth)

These, and many more things are all culprits.

Question: Are you in agreement with these kinds of “Health Care”?

At YourNutrition we are teachers.  

We teach our readers about nutrition, wellness and how to 'get healthy and stay healthy’.

We will:

·       Show you the “Keys to Vibrant Health”.

·       Teach you about the pillars of natural health: “Nutritional Sufficiency and Balanced Body Chemistry”.

·       Prove to you that being nutritionally sufficient dramatically reduces your risk factors for common illnesses and diseases.

·       Show you how to eat a healthier diet, how to live a healthier lifestyle and how to reduce many stress factors.

·       Remind you that your body is composed of (made of) nutrients, not chemical drugs.

·       Show you how your body already knows how to use nutrition to maintain, support, enhance, and protect your good health, energy and vitality- when applied safely and wisely.

When was the last time your doctor checked your nutritional status?

Nutritional Sufficiency dramatically lowers your risk factors for poor health, symptoms and disease.  That is why it is so important!
