In fact, there's already a profiting industry geared towards holistic health and wellness. The health care issue is a smoke screen for health reform, as you mentioned. While the system is how it is, yes, give people health care. BUT how about changing the system, since the only thing universal health care will do is further medicalize everything, including vitamins and supplements, which the FDA is now trying to regulate. A prescription for Vitamin C? No, thanks. With the FDA pushing Codex Alimentarius, apparently it does favor a holistic approach--when it comes to lining the pockets of greedy and sinister companies. Grrr...[ending fuming anger now] ...and that's why it's important that we educate people on the importance of claiming their own health. :)

This country teaches people how to treat symptoms not cure diseases."MEDICALIZATION" has taken over...just pay attention to comercials on tv and radio. If you listen to them you'd swear you were sick...and WHY is it like this? simply because there's no profit if everyone is healthy! Let's not even touch on the self righteous people and companies who oppose health reform and it has nothing to do with health care...its all about the MONEY! Glad the fire has been rekindled. The body is so powerful and we have to be careful of what we do to it.
