Have you ever wondered what keeps the Health System going?

One word ….. Sickness. Let’s be more specific. Diseases, especially the modern ones. It’s these that keep the health system going, healthy and thriving.

I’m sure most people know that pharmaceutical companies are making a truckload of money from sick people. But if you think about it, everyone in the system makes money by keeping people sick.

I genuinely feel sorry for Doctors — most of them go to medical school with love and compassion as their driving force, but when they come out the other end, they realize that they can’t actually heal their patients.

Don’t get me wrong — they are geniuses at fixing anything that’s broken — they can put things back together and do some absolutely brilliant stuff. They’ve got excellent machinery that they use, and they’re usually good at diagnosing the problem, although sometimes it takes a long time, and they can get it wrong — but, overall, doctors are pretty good at it.

So, let’s see how this cumbersome health industry works and why it’s imperative that people stay sick.

The money flowing through the system keeps us locked into a disease-ridden lifestyle.
