Pharmaceutical companies receive funding to develop drugs to prevent Alzheimers, treatment of which costs America 2 billion dollars annually.

One of the most respected medical journals, the Lancet, reported that being careful with food and exercise can reduce the incidence of Alzheimers by 54%.

How does one monetize this message?

This happens across the board, with all health conditions.

The challenge we face is that once we pass out of medical college, all our knowledge of drugs comes from these companies, which are driven by their commercial interests. That these interests run into billions of dollars is just by the way. The interest of the patient is, for sure, not the driving force.

This means that doctors, by and large, follow what the companies dictate. Not necessarily with malafide intent, but often because there is no alternative.

How does this affect us? We must check out what we’re being told, even by our trusted doctors. Again, not necessarily because they’re intentionally misguiding us, but they’re just misinformed. If possible, seek out a doctor practising Integrative medicine and be guided by them. Because the advice we give is like the one above – make lifestyle choices which don’t just suppress your disease condition, but actually improve your health so you’re never unhealthy again. With no doctors, no medicines.
