While the medical system seems to work well when surgery and emergency lifesaving treatment are required little focus is placed on prevention of illness or chronic disease. Treatment focuses almost entirely upon the performance of surgery and the prescription of drugs. The current environment created by the medical system, big pharma, and the FDA is not just skeptical of natural alternative medicine and nutritional supplements but is hostile to the concept. Pharmaceutical companies are motivated by more and more profits. We’re bombarded every day with outrageous advertisements, many of which include in the “fast talk” at the very end of the commercial a statement of the side effects, including fatalities. The FDA is heavily influenced by Big Pharma. Did you know that many FDA and “independent” drug studies are financed by the drug manufacturers themselves? More than half the budget of the FDA division that approves new drugs is paid directly by the drug companies’ user fees.

In this type of a system the conclusions of these studies and reiviews regarding efficacy and safety should be suspect.

While it’s clear that the motivation of Big Pharma is greed, and the FDA’s problem is their incestuous relationship with Big Pharma, it’s still puzzling how doctors who enter their profession because of a desire to contribute to the health [...]

Then do more stretching, and third is do more cardio workouts. This is the type of advice that might be provided by a personal trainer who could also provide you with a fitness routine designed to achieve your goals. But what if you prefer not to join a health club, either because of the high cost or because you want the option of working out at home or in environments other than health clubs? After all, even if you join a health club, why confine your fitness routine to the gymn? Continue reading Can An IPod Help You Get Fit?
