It is human nature to believe that we know and understand much more about the human body than we really do.
The explosion of “chemistry” throughout our society likely has much more impact than we know on our health with new toxins and compounds emerging weekly and we don’t give enough thought to this.
We have deployed a vaccine to hundreds of millions of people that we do not fully understand and you are not allowed to discuss it.
We know genetics can play a major role in many diseases, but we are only scratching the surface of what it means.
Modern medicine, like many pursuits, is focused on $$$$ and there is little money in preventative care versus catastrophic care so most research follows the $$$$.
The last one is a major disappointment for me.
My theory is the very fact we use the term “HEALTH care” these days, indicates we’re more worried about preventing than curing. More honest usage is “medical”. I suspect the “health” emphasis is a socialist thing.
As a victim of lots of problems for years, being undiagnosed and dismissed by lots of doctor specialists, I can attest this.
Give another thought to the emphasis on “wellness” (once upon a time, a physical, or a check-up) visits. “You need to have an annual visit.”
Why?
Jesus said doctors are for SICK people, not well. Yet they’re signing up everyone for these check-ups and NOT having time for those of us really suffering.
Don’t tell me this isn’t another guaranteed income stream, of bringing in the healthy and charging them for it.
Not disputing your take on chemicals in our daily lives but with the advent of modern medicine saving alot of people who would have died off before they reproduced.
This allowed hereditary diseases a “foothold” in the gene pool.
