Shocking Statistics About The Frequency of Illness Along With A Possible Solution

As Americans we believe that we have a healthy society. After all have access to some of the best doctors, the latest prescription drugs, and most advanced hospital facilities in the world. But despite all these advantages we are still one of the sickest according to a recent survey showed that 51 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 65 have at least one chronic illness, or general ill health.

Sounds shocking, does not it! But if you were to get a list of your friends and family how much they have at least one chronic illness, or are in poor health. Examples of chronic diseases would be (arthritis, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, gall bladder disease, blood sugar issues, diabetes, gout, breathing disorders, like asthma or emphysema, or atherosclerosis). I think the answer for most will be more than half.

For those over 65 the numbers are even worse with almost all suffer from one or more chronic degenerative diseases.

Another interesting fact is that a recent study revealed that our brain is reduced as well. This is good news for me trying to explain why this article May have a few typos. the cerebellum has some advantages I think. Now let's get back to work.

Perhaps we are focusing on the wrong area

Billions of dollars in research along with countless human capital has been spent to treat diseases are diseases such as cancer and colds. But would you believe that the British research team over a fairly large study has found that the curry spice prevents colds. They also found that when Curry was taken when cold symptoms were raging not only reduces symptoms, but significantly reduces the duration of infection. So, in other words, after years of pharmaceutical missteps seems Mother Nature has the solution all along.

As far as cancer goes no one has found a natural remedy still red peppers, herbs Huang Qi, Indian Ginseng and Milk Thistle, along with herbal medicine to detoxify the liver are all mentioned as possibilities.

Another example of a natural means to promote preventive medicine and wellness are the omega 3 fatty acids found in fish and fish oil supplements. For years, medical science wondered why certain populations of people had a very low incidence of heart and artery disease. Now we are starting to realize their diet contains a moderate, but consistent, amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. The survey also found that omega-3 fatty acids work to reduce inflammation in many parts of the body, including our cells, brain and joints.

A fourth example would be chondroitin and glucosamine to rebuild cartilage and prevent cartilage related diseases. These two are perhaps the best example of all natural substances that prevent an alternative to life-threatening condition, such as osteoporosis, which is still being treated with drugs to mask the symptoms, or others who seek to rebuild bone, but may ultimately cause the death of bone and bone deterioration.

In the end, what we need to understand that the way we are getting really does not work very well. As a society we can do much better, but it may require a change in the perception of physicians, researchers and the general population thinking more in terms of preventative medicine rather than continue down the same old path of reactive prescription medication and treatment.
