This morning, I read an article from Science News entitled ” New Discoveries Get to the Heart of Cardiovascular Disease“.

Science and technology are absolutely amazing resources, but I was somewhat taken aback when I realized that the article ultimately points towards new drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.  Cardiovascular diseases are lifestyle diseases that are generally avoidable and largely reversible if caught in time.

So why does the vast majority of medical research point us toward drug manufacture instead of lifestyle changes? — Money.

If you don’t already know, the pharmaceutical industry is one of the largest and most profitable industries in the world.

Something is wrong when prominent medical doctors such as Gerald Weissmann, MD, Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal,
make statements like “Even if we delay the process by exercise and rabbit food, sooner or later our blood vessels rot.”

It’s good to have the treatments available to help people, but I believe the focus should really be on improving overall health, wellness, longevity, and quality of life through natural sources first.

In Health,
