The Healthcare System is Broken - Run the Other Way

America's healthcare system is broken because it manages disease rather than promotes healing.

Over the past couple of years I have unhooked myself from this system which victimizes people by taking a lot of money out of their pockets while making them dependent on its varying treatments which do little to cure the underlying conditions.

For me, short of an outright emergency, it's no more doctors, dentists, drugs, or anything else that smacks of mainstream medicine. These days I see to my healthcare needs via the following: a proper diet, sound emotional health, fresh air and sunshine, intellectual curiosity, satisfying relationships, and exercise.

If I need a professional I'll call on my chiropractor, osteopath, or yoga instructor. They know and understand the whole me.

If I get run over by a bus then I hope someone will pick me up and drop me off at the ER. Otherwise, I'll let my body do its own healing and get out of the way.
