Pure Zing is so impressed with this article and its solution to the ill-health of Americans and their Health ‘Care’ system, that we encourage you, like its author Mike Adams of www.newstarget.com to read it, forward it, and post it for thousands of others to see.
Congratulations Mike on an honest, ethical and to the point cure for what really ails us!

#1 End patent protection for genes, seeds and medicines

#2 Ban aspartame, water fluoridation and mercury fillings

#3 End FDA corruption and radically reform this criminal agency

#4 Require open source publication of all clinical trials, even the negative results

#5 Ban direct-to-consumer drug advertising

#6 Stop junk food and soda advertising to children

Here's sort of another obvious one: outlaw the predatory marketing of junk foods, candy and sugary beverages to children, many of whom are already headed for a life of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. But wait: the soda companies say sugary drinks have nothing to do with obesity! And, better yet, the American Diabetes Association claims there's no link between sugar and diabetes! (Not sure how they can still say that one with a straight face, but they somehow manage it.)

Before nutritional insanity turns the entire nation into a flock of drooling, sugar-addicted trolls, it's time to put some common sense back into the kinds of messages we allow to be broadcast to our children. Perhaps, given that diabetes and obesity are now epidemic among teens, we should stop persuading children to drink and eat the products that make them diabetic and obese.

I know, it makes wholly too much sense to be adopted by Big Business (or even most politicians). They'd have to distort it in some way, like getting an ex-President (Clinton, maybe?) to sign on to some watered-down "voluntary" industry self-regulation that will ultimately prove entirely ineffective. Which is, of course, the whole point of the exercise. When Big Tobacco says it's running ads to dissuade children from smoking, do you really think it wants children to not smoke? Junk food companies work the same way. They know that the earlier they can get kids addicted to sugar, salt and MSG, the more those kids will buy of the same junk food when they grow up and have little chemically-damaged children of their own.

So I say we stop the ads. Stop promoting disease-causing substances to our children. It's only common sense.

#7 Overhaul national dietary guidelines to benefit consumers, not Big Business

#8 Ban the use of known cancer-causing additives in the food supply

#9 End censorship for nutritional supplement manufacturers

#10 Require food manufacturers to list acrylamides, pesticides and heavy metals content on the label

Food companies don't really want you to know what's in their foods. Oh, they claim to list everything on the label, but that's not really everything. What's missing? All the stuff that kills you: the acrylamides, pesticides, heavy metals and other contaminants that are either sprayed on the foods, absorbed through the soils or created during high-heat cooking processes.

Acrylamides are cancer-causing substances created when carbohydrates are cooked at high temperatures -- frying, baking, etc. Remember those fried snack chips? Browned pancakes? Pan-fried hash browns? Yep, they all have acrylamides, and the hotter the cooking, the more you get. And don't even think about restaurant french fries that are soaked in the same high-temperature oil that was used for the last fifteen batches.

Food companies, of course, hope you never find out about acrylamides. And they sure don't want to have to list it on the label. But I say we should require them to. After all, the point of the label is to tell consumers what's really in the food, not what the food companies want us to think is in the food.

If we passed this law, freaked-out consumers would flock to the fresh produce section and begin buying up fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains and other non-processed foods. And that, of course, might accidentally make them healthier.

#11 Outlaw cancer-causing chemicals and fragrances in personal care products

Here's an obvious one: Let's make it illegal for personal care product manufacturers to poison their customers. This can be easily accomplished by outlawing the use of toxic liver-damaging or cancer-causing chemicals now used throughout the cosmetics and personal care industry.

Your average perfume product, for example, contains more than twenty cancer-causing chemicals, none of which are listed on the label. Once applied to your skin, they penetrate the dermis layer and go right to your bloodstream where your heart circulates them, maximizing their potential to cause damage to your tissues and organs.

In a sane country where health really mattered, these cancer-causing chemicals would be illegal to use in personal care products. But in America today, nobody even blinks an eye (not even the one good eye they still have left) at the routine practice of poisoning customers with dangerous chemicals. And every day, consumers who don't know any better apply these cancer-causing products to their hair, skin, fingernails and hands.

#12 Launch public service ad campaigns that teach consumers how to tell the difference between healthy vs. unhealthy food and grocery products

This strategy would cost money, but it would save the nation many times its cost in reduced health care costs. The idea is to offer basic educational ads that teach consumers how to choose healthy products at the grocery store.

Why is this such a big deal? Because most consumers genuinely have no idea what's healthy and what isn't. When 7UP claims to be "all natural," most consumers believe it! When Frito-Lay prints little checkmark symbols on their products, calling their chips "Consumer smart" (or whatever phrase they use), most consumers believe that, too! Let's face it: Consumers are a gullible bunch, and they believe practically anything they're told on TV. Shouldn't we spend some time telling them how to be healthier?

How about this idea: For every junk food or soda ad a TV station airs, it should be required to air an educational, pro-nutrition public service ad in the same hour. That way, the advertising messages would at least be somewhat balanced out, and viewers wouldn't simply be assaulted by corporate-sponsored junk food ads all the time.

#13 End Big Pharma's FDA-enforced drug monopoly

Government regulators claim to support free trade in every area imaginable: corn, computers, software, automobiles and even steel. But when it comes to medicine, U.S. regulators feel they need to enforce a U.S. monopoly market that deprives consumers of choice and makes free trade illegal.

Just try to buy meds from a Canadian online pharmacy, and you'll see what I mean. The FDA practically considers you a criminal for buying drugs at cheaper prices in another country.

From the FDA to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), U.S. regulators are determined to enforce a monopoly market of pharmaceuticals -- a drug cartel. While all other citizens around the world pay more competitive prices for their drugs, U.S. citizens have been singled out as the ones who are supposed to pump up the profits of Big Pharma by paying as much as 569,000% markups on prescription drugs (that number is not a misprint). See my book, Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them to see even more evidence that reveals the true organized crime behavior of today's drug industry giants.

It is especially interesting that the FTC, which claims to protect consumers, has made absolutely no effort whatsoever to end the pharmaceutical monopoly in the United States. If anything, the FTC seems a lot more interested in eliminating competition to pharmaceutical companies by threatening sellers of nutritional products or alternative medicine products. Together with the FDA, they've turned the United States into a health wasteland, where consumers are forced to pay profiteering prices for synthetic chemicals that only harm their health while being denied access to the natural products that could actually save their lives.

Conclusion

While there are probably hundreds of additional ideas that would also improve the health of the U.S. population, the thirteen ideas presented here would, if enforced, probably drop cancer rates by 75% in one generation. Diabetes rates would plummet, mental health would greatly improve, birth defects would be sharply reduced and, most of all, the national health care bill would be slashed to a fraction of current costs.

And that, of course, is exactly why these ideas can never be allowed to pass. The profit-minded medical industry would lose billions. Hundreds of thousands of people who depend on the continuation of disease to provide job security would find themselves out of work. Because our national economy is so heavily invested in the business of disease, actually making people healthier would be devastating to the economy in the short term.

And so the corrupt politicians and government regulators who continue to run this country would much rather maintain the status quo -- keeping the public in a state of continued disease, with no cures available, so that all those businesses and organizations who are counting on the continuation of degenerative disease don't have to downsize.

Do not ever think that the disease epidemics sweeping our nation don't have solutions. We already know how to prevent and cure cancer, diabetes, heart disease, depression and most other degenerative diseases. The reason they are not prevented and cured is because it is not in the interests of those in power to have a healthy population. And current law, of course, unambigiously demonstrates that. The laws surrounding food, medicine, advertising, health insurance and health care are designed to keep you and your children in a continued state of disease. Most of the laws on the books today were, in fact, designed and pushed by corporations, so they serve the interests of those corporations -- and it is not in the interests of these powerful corporations to see a healthy population that avoids disease.

Understand this: Americans are intentionally kept in a state of disease precisely because that is what produces the maximum profits for the corporations who own this country. Once you realize this, you understand 99 percent of the real problem with health care. It's not about who pays, or how much they pay, or what kind of discounts can be negotiated... it's about ending the conspiracy to keep Americans diseased. Until we end the drug cartel now operated by Big Pharma and the FDA, we will never see health care reform that makes any real difference.

So when it comes to health care, don't expect any legislative miracles from either political party. Even a massive switch to socialized medicine, if it could be pulled off, is still useless unless we start teaching disease prevention. Unless you actually prevent disease and fundamentally improve the health of the American people, no structure of health care coverage will save us from a near-certain future: a mutant population, trapped in a system of disease proliferation that will ultimately cause the collapse of the U.S. economy and the end of America as we know it.

Of course, you can always "race for the cure" if you're really stupid enough to think that running around in circles, raising money for Big Pharma via a corrupt non-profit organization, is going to solve this problem. See my Race For the Cure cartoon for an illustration of this.

Without question, the healthiest people in the United States are those who operate outside the health care system. Health care reform doesn't matter to them, because they've already reformed their own health! They make informed choices about foods, medicines and exercise. They don't see M.D.s, and many don't even carry health insurance. They are skeptical, informed and healthy consumers. They're the kind of people who read NewsTarget. And it's an honor to write for people like you. You are the only hope for the possibility of a brighter future in the United States and around the world.
