OT- Scripps to rebuild in La Jolla

[scaredyclassic]

medicine is crazy. It seems like all the money is thrown at heroic life-saving measures at the end. We could set up a much healthier society much cheaper. I suppose some would argue that spending so much for a hsopital shows our dedication to human life. I doubt that. It’s more of a temple to technology and the hope for eventual triumph of the human mind over the forces of death and decay.

Perfectly said, walter.

I support a 200% (or more) tax on sugar, and junk food.

More and more of our GDP is going to health care and that will eventually bankrupt us. With more money going to health care, where will people find the money for housing?

When the nurses and doctors are obese, you know that something has gone drastically awry.

I flew a little Dash commuter plane out of New York to Philly and they have a weight restriction and can only take about 29 passengers out of 37 seats (or something like that) because people are all so fat. Funny but a tragedy of huge proportions.

I’d like to see much more publicly-funded research (free from any influences from the pharmaceutical and other, related industries). It seems that there is ample evidence that much safer, more effective treatments, preventions, and cures are out there, but if they can’t be patented or if they are not profitable (or if they threaten the profits or power of well-established institutions), it’s almost impossible to either get funding for research and clinical trials, or to get it through the FDA.

Imagine if we could actually cure cancer or heart disease with medicines that cost a fraction of what current treatments cost, and if we could go back to finding actual preventions or cures, rather than putting everyone on lifelong “therapies” for “chronic” conditions.

How many billions are spent each year on toxic “treatments” for chronic conditions?

I cannot recommend enough Robb Wolf’s book on Paleo. Enough good detail about the autoimmune issues, leaky gut issues, and how we live in state of inflammation due to Omega3/Omega6 ratios being out of whack. Most of this is caused by eating a heavily grain based diet to include mass produced grain fed animals.

From http://www.leakygut.co.uk/:
“The symptoms of Leaky Gut Syndrome are many and varied and include: abdominal pain, heartburn, insomnia, bloating, anxiety, gluten intolerance, malnutrition, muscle cramps and pains, poor exercise tolerance, food allergies.

Leaky Gut Syndrome has also been linked with many conditions, such as: Celiac Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Autism, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Eczema, Dermatitis, Ulcerative Colitis.

The other thing that was a real eye opener for was the issues with Cortisol as it relates to lack of sleep. I personally look back and see (besides eating poorly) weight gain when I went to an average of 6 hours sleep (or less) per night. Really good stuff, but they do focus on getting the blood markers correct through eating real food as opposed to statins, BP medications, etc.

Although he kind of got famous from the crossfit family he tends to recommend slowing it down as overdoing exercise for an extended period can also cause cortisol issues.

Great podcast too, the guy is sharp as a whip, but one consistent complaint he has is that his mother’s generation seems to want a drug to fix everything instead of working on prevention.
