We really are all in this together. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise -- in this case, there really is an "us" and a "them." The "THEM": They are the small handful of powerful people in politics and business making a killing (sometimes literally) from conning YOU & the rest of the world into believing that "healthcare" equals taking more and more prescription pills, failing at endless fad diets, paying sky-high medical bills and insurance premiums, being carved up by surgeons, and consuming ever-more artificial processed garbage that they label "healthy." The "US": Quite simply, we are everyone else ... you & I are their targets. Even if you are among the elite when it comes to taking care of your physical and emotional health (which is where I consider myself), in countless ways you and I still pay for their greed. For example, health insurance costs would be far lower if pharmaceutical companies didn't have so many people addicted to their costly and ultimately futile drugs that merely patch over symptoms versus getting to their cause. For example, truly healthy foods would be far more widespread and available to us if the shelves weren't lined with cheap processed junk reaping billions for the giant food companies. On the flipside, though, with each improvement -- every time a piece of the conventional healthcare model crumbles away and the new model focused on prevention and real cure ascends -- we ALL benefit. My life's passion and mission is to transform today's severely dysfunctional conventional healthcare system -- dangerously centered on a treatment-versus-prevention-or-cure model dominated by prescription drug companies -- into one that is instead focused on prevention and real cure. That is the purpose of and entire driving force behind Mercola.com. It is not to make money (as the funds from the sale of products I highly recommend and offer go back into maintaining and expanding the site.) It is not to make me famous -- frankly I am no fan of the limelight, but not many other physicians are trying to lead this change so I am doing what I believe I have to do. The key reason I have devoted hundreds of thousands of dollars out of my own pocket to Mercola.com ... the key reason I have dedicated 14 hour days, 7 days per week to researching and writing articles for the newsletter and analyzing health products to find those worth recommending ... is to make it one of the world's KEY instruments in changing the healthcare paradigm to one focused on real prevention and cure. And here's some great news: Mercola.com is finally starting to make a real impact in changing the healthcare paradigm! Subscribers to the Mercola.com "eHealthy News You Can Use," which means that over a half million individuals like you are getting the insights and tools to take control of their own health, clearly see through the greed-driven motives of the drug companies, and to motivate and inform others to take the same steps.
