U.S. Life Expectancy Continues To Fall - Where Are We Going Wrong?

According to a recent report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, American’s life expectancy is falling, not rising.

Not good. Our life expectancy should be increasing, shouldn’t it? After all, we spend more money than any other nation in the world on “health care”. We have more hospitals, more doctors, more nurses, more drugs, and more surgeries than any other nation in the world; so how are we LOSING LIFE? And why are we ranked 37th out of 39 developed nations by the World Health Organization in terms of healthiest nations?

Because we are also the most irresponsible, lazy, and marketed to nation in the world. We are raised with the immediate gratification, “pop a pill”, victim mentality. Victims of our genes, victims of germs, victims of bad luck. How is that working for us? How is the brainwashing by Big Pharma, Fast Food companies, and Big Government affecting us? It’s killing us. Not just in terms of health, but in every societal and economic sense.

Our society and economy are affected because we are continuously marketed to and exploited by Big Business and a government that doesn’t care about our health or our quality of life, only our money. This money focus trickles down to the minds of the public and leads to a mentality of “more”; which leads to a loss of priorities and ultimately, a breakdown of the family unit. Instead of being home having a family dinner, parents are working late to “keep up with the Joneses” and letting strangers raise their children.

What does this financial stress do to families and marriages? It destroys them. Don’t look now, but two parent households are a minority in this nation. Do you think that impacts the self-esteem of our children? Do you think their self-esteem affects our society? Before you answer that question, take a look at the number of children on anti-depressant drugs, at the number of school shootings, and at suicide rates from birth to age 25.

The only solution to this societal, economic, and health decay is accountability. Accountability to yourself for your health, for your happiness, and for your focus. And accountability to your children to be a role model as to how to live a healthy life. We have to stand in opposition to the mainstream and consciously CHOOSE health and consciously CHOOSE life.

What does that look like? Continuously, on a day to day, minute to minute basis choosing healthy nutrition, healthy exercise habits, and healthy relationships and attitudes. It means educating yourself and discovering true health care practitioners like Chiropractors that have your best interests in mind. It means being proactive instead of reactive. It means spending a few dollars today to prevent becoming bankrupt by chronic disease tomorrow.

If you don’t educate yourself and take interest in what’s best for you and your family, who will do that for you?

Did You Know???: Chiropractors work with extremities too, not just spinal joints? It's true, Chiropractic is beneficial for any joint in the body: shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, feet, and jaw. After all, your spinal joints aren't the only joints that become misaligned. Think of the trauma that your feet and ankles take throughout a lifetime of walking, running, and sports. All that pounding, one misstep and those joints easily misalign. Have you ever sprained your ankle? There you go. A sprained ankle definitely causes misalignment in the ankle. Then, depending on how severe a sprain it is, it indirectly causes misalignment in the hips and back too due to favoring it and limping, or being on crutches for any amount of time. A handful (or less) of adjustments by your Chiropractor and proper rehab of the ankle by your Chiropractor and you're back to normal and prevented the possibility of arthritis in that joint down the road.

Article Of The Week:
US Government Panel Now Pushing "Vaccines For Everyone!", No Exceptions.

Doctor's Soapbox:
They just won't quit. The CDC is hellbent on cowering to the desires of Big Pharma and polluting the health of everyone in the nation for nothing other than financial gain. Despite the continual scientific proof that those who get vaccinated are at greater risk of getting the flu (www.naturalnews.com/027102_vaccines_H1N1_flu_shot.html), and that governmental agencies (FDA, CDC, WHO) make these recommendations because they are getting paid off by Big Pharma (www.naturalnews.com/028936_WHO_vaccines.html), not because it's the right thing to do, they continue to persevere and try to push through their greedy plan.

Even worse is the fact that they can't even keep their facts straight. For example, everyone is familiar with the fact that hospitals inject newborns with multiple vaccines the second they are born. They do this because they say it is "safe" and will provide "immunity" for the children. Oh really? Well look what the CDC says in the above article:

"(CDC) recommends yearly flu vaccination for everyone except for children under the age of six months, whose immune systems have not yet developed enough for vaccination to be safe."

So why are we injecting them with not one, but multiple vaccinations the second they are born in the hospital? If their "immune systems have not yet developed enough for vaccination to be safe" when given just one vaccine, how is being injected with the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine (3 at once) safe? Seems to me like they're a little conflicted. In cases like this, money and greed always win. Don't fall victim to blindly following the advice of these government gangsters. Educate yourself, and speak up to educate others. Otherwise you give up your health freedom and quality of life to those trying to pad their wallets.
