If one relies on a symptom-based approach to health that chooses to ignore the cause of the illness this is an inevitable outcome. The older you get the more symptoms you will have and the more likely you will receive drugs to address those symptoms.

As the study suggests, this problem is actually far worse than the 7 million people it documents. However the study does not take into account the drug interactions that are continuing at an ever increasing rate due to aggressive marketing campaigns by the drug companies.

Two thirds of doctor visits resulted in a drug being prescribed.

This is one of the main reasons why spending for prescription drugs is the fastest-growing category of health care expenditures.

It is also one of the major contributing factors why physicians are the third leading cause of death in the US, as they have an over reliance on using drugs as Band-Aids, rather than seeking the cause of the problem.

Fortunately, you do not have to give in. This newsletter, and many other fabulous resources that are now available, will help enable you to take control over your own health. One of the most important areas of course is selection of foods that will promote health.

If you haven't already reviewed the food choice program, I would encourage you to do so, as it is one of the foundational pillars of healing.

The new headline on my home page is "Helping You Become Independently Healthy".

If you are able to get yourself off of the drugs and also reduce your dependence on supplements you will go a long way towards improving the quality of your life.

One resource you might want to consider in implementing the program is EFT.

I recently conducted a training seminar on how to perform this technique and it is now available on video. There is a one year money back guarantee on the video and it may be one of the best investments that you could make since it may radically improve your ability to follow the eating plan and implement an exercise program to help you lower your weight. These tapes should provide you with a solid introduction to EFT, complete with numerous live examples.
