Nutrition prevents medical Visits

Health care and Nutrition.  In the American health care tradition, the doctor's only treat when someone has a complaint. Most of the complaints that patients have could be solved by having good nutrition.

Doctor's know this.  But they still don't really talk to patience about proper eating.  The Doctor's do tell patients to loose weight, by eating less and exercising more but they don't tell you what kinds of foods to place in the body.

Why?

Without socialized medicine the consumer buys their health care.  Having sick and malnourished patients creates the medical industry.  What I am saying is that, it creates jobs.

That is why there is huge lobby in Washington trying to prevent Universal Health Care for the American Public.  The medical system we have is a revolving door of money.  And y0u are paying for it.

Most Americans today are overweight and malnourished.  The American Diet even with the fortification of nutrients is still lacking in certain vitamins.  But to find this out, if an American wants to know, we get sent to a specialist from our general practitioner.  We have pay more to find out how to get healthy and use preventative measures to stay healthy.

This country needs Universal Health Care.  Then it becomes every body's responsibility for every body's health care.  Then we are paying for us.  Then the Doctor's, which still will be paid handsomely, would switch methods of care from prescription every time there is a complaint, to working with patients.  Maybe we can fight the epidemic of malnutrition in our country because Doctors care.

After watching American BBC, I have learned socialized medicine is not scary for the public, it is only scary to the Medical Industry.

But for now, good Nutrition prevents medical visits.
