In today’s high-tech world, the wonders of modern medicine guarantee the ability to live longer. But, with advances in medical technology and up-to-date vaccines, it has always come for inexpensive purposes. Throughout history they have always been the wealthiest first and in many cases they are the only beneficiaries of medicine and medical procedures. In too many cases, people have died just because of the affordability factor. Case in point: When the AIDS vaccine was first introduced to increase the life expectancy of those infected, it was only available to those who could afford it. Consequently, more people even to this day succumb to this deadly disease.
We have come a long way in medical discovery since the 1980s. Education remains a critical factor in disease prevention. That old saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is still very relevant even today, especially in the prevention of AIDS and this current plague of Covid-19. With the joint promotion of the CDC and the AMA, Covid-19 vaccines similar to those given to children before entering school are seriously flawed. Years ago when a child was of school age, the required vaccinations were MMR {mumps, measles and rubella}. Now, today there are so many vaccines required by every state that it defies logic. As a result, this shows how much the pharmaceutical industry controls the CDC and the AMA and not the other way around.
What is driving this increase in mandatory vaccinations is the issue that no one in government is willing to worry about. Meanwhile, the United States has experienced a steady increase in diseases, ailments, and various other illnesses that have made this nation one of the least healthy countries in the world. It is worth mentioning that the medical community has always favored the pharmaceutical industry for antidotes to various diseases and foods rather than educating the public on what are the root causes of all these diseases and ailments. Looking back on Chiropractic Medicine, it took years before the AMA finally recognized that chiropractic procedures were viable forms of reliable medical practice.
Now, with the Covid-19 pandemic raging, the pharmaceutical industry has been very aggressive in the search for antidotes to stop the attack of this highly contagious virus. The CDC and WADA were on board to sanction, along with FDA approval of the now-prescribed vaccines that have sparked a frenzy to inoculate as many people as possible. There are still unknown variables with these vaccines. This leads to more questions about the rapid process of its development. Are they really safe with few or no side effects? Does this vaccine require yearly booster shots? And what is the real cost incurred?
Every year we see flu vaccines being given across the country. You can get the vaccine at most CVS or Walgreens and even Walmart. It should be noted that when this Covid-19 vaccine was released, the same distribution should have been followed with the annual flu vaccines. But sadly, it was not. Consequently, distribution has faced continuous problems that increase tensions across the country when at one point our problems continue to accumulate. There are still desperate people who believe that this vaccine is the great cure for everyone. Unfortunately, the verdict has yet to be rendered.
To eradicate this virus and even the common cold and flu, we need to understand the root causes that trigger the infection. First, we have to understand that the pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate whose sole purpose is profit oriented. Really designed not for public health but for profit. The public is still plagued with more diseases and food each year, while spending more on cures that do not really solve the cause of their disease or food. And the medical community has been very reluctant to accept innovations that sidestep its traditional approach to medical practices. Today, it is basically a money game played on people’s lives and health.
What needs to be done is a double-edged sword. There is no doubt that many vaccines have increased humanity’s survival rates, stopped the spread of deadly contagious diseases, and turned potential epidemics into minor outbreaks. But no one has really addressed the preventive solutions that could free humanity from being susceptible to the types of diseases we are seeing today. For decades, the American public’s diet has suffered from an extreme depletion of vital immune-boosting nutrients. The industrialization of food sources has caused much of the public to suffer from non-nutritive edible foods. When we think of the body’s immune system, we rarely consider what we eat as a form of preventive medicine. But in reality, those are the most important factors in how to avoid getting sick.
Saying “you are what you eat” has a lot to do with your overall health and increased immune efficiency. Today, we see a lot of hype about probiotics, but very little mention of prebiotics, both of which together make up butyrate. It is the butyrate that is essential for the body to function at optimal levels. Without enough butyrate in your diet, your body’s immune system fails, making you more susceptible to all kinds of diseases and ailments. The current problem is that butyrate-containing foods are not as potent as they should be. All due to the lack of nutrient-rich soil in which most of our food is grown. Let’s be clear that the immune system is the body’s way of defending itself against potential health threats. And when the immune system is not up to par, as they say, we become very susceptible to all kinds of diseases and viruses like Covid-19.
With safety guidelines already in place, such as social distancing, hand washing, and masks, all are safety measures to prevent infection, but the main source to reduce this Covid-19 pandemic is to increase our body’s immune system. . When our immune system is at peak level, the severity of any illness that happens to infect us is met with a swift attack to minimize severity and a speedy recovery occurs. We need to reduce our dependence on the industrialization of our food and return to individual family farming. When we do, the farms go back to crop rotation so the soil has a year to regain the nutrients that are needed to produce nutrient-rich butyrate in the food that is grown.
Butyrate is the only component that is critical in reducing disease and without sufficient levels of butyrate in our bodies we become recipients of so many devastating health problems that have only increased our dependence on the pharmaceutical industry and its medications. Drugs that only increase drug dependence more. Medications that will not actually cure the many diseases that many of us get. This Covid-19 virus can be prevented or, if you get infected, your illness is much less serious and your recovery is much faster, all due to the level of butyrates in our digestive tract.
