Being Proactive With Your Health Decisions
by David Lear

In todays world, theres a definite need to be proactive in protecting our health. But that assumes theres something you CAN do to protect it.

See, most people figure theyre pretty powerless. Thats a good thing for the healthcare establishment. They like that. Youre the one with disease and theyre the one with the solution.

Only one small problem, though. In 2001, now get this, in 783,000 people died from healthcare-related screw-ups. Thats a fact. Imagine that. Thats 2,100 people a day. Thats 8 jumbo jets going up in flames every day.

Dont get me wrong. Doctors and medical facilities are great when it comes to trauma care, bone setting and that kind of thing. But give me a break: 783,000 dead from medical mistakes? No wonder thats the third leading cause of death in the U.S.

Anyway, most people dont even know that. If they get sick, well, the only thing they know to do is to submit themselves to conventional medical treatment - which of course is all about treating sickness.

But thats not health care. Thats sickness care. Real health care is about building health from the ground up. Sickness care is about cutting, radiating, poisoning and taking prescription drugs, which by the way can be very toxic.

So, as I see it anyway, weve only got two options. Be good little medical consumers and go along with the healthcare program that weve all been taught to buy in to - or start thinking things through for ourselves - and no one can make that happen but you. Its your decision - your choice - and your life.

Personally, my advise is: be pro-active. Dont wait in line to get on a train wreck. Consider taking your health into your hands. I know that might be a little scary, but you can do it. You couldnt before because there wasnt an alternative - but now, theres something on the horizon that everyone should know about and its called glyconutrition. For the past two years, Ive been researching this particular field of nutrition - glyconutrition - and what Ive come away with is the sense that glyconutrition is a tool for health unlike anything weve ever seen before.

To give a few examples, people who are on glyconutrition supplements are having very impressive experiences like far fewer colds and flues, recovering from things like asthma, fibromyalgia, cancer, autism, and depression.

A lot of people hearing this for the first time are very skeptical when they hear claims like that. If you happen to be in that group, but are still open minded enough to take in some new information, thats great. Its the first step you can take to reclaiming your power to make decisions about you and your familys health that isnt completely dictated by the medical establishment - you know, that same group of folks that racks up over 700,000 unnecessary deaths a year.

Anyway, the important thing is that now you at least know about an alternative thats working for thousands of people - people whove made the decision to start thinking outside the medical box by adding glyconutrition supplements to the food they eat.
