Let’s look at the true cost of toxic food. *
Weakening the immune system has an enormous cost to our society. During COVID our society, which eats the least healthy food in the world, has been greatly impacted by the virus and decisions of the government due to the virus. It is projected that our government will spend over 8 trillion dollars to remedy the COVID situation. Just to put that in perspective, we spend an average of 3.24 trillion per year on health care. With an increase of over 5% last year on health care costs, that was more than twice as high as our gross domestic product growth of 2.1% - a mark of a degenerative society far from sustainable. An average family spends $10,000 per year just on copays with insurance. Numerous mothers of children with autism symptoms (that have been shown to be caused by glyphosate in maternal exposure studies to young male rats), spend $15-60,000 per year per child for their autism therapies, schooling, child care, equipment, special diets, doctors’ visits, and medications.
Not only are mothers spending an enormous amount of money just for their children to be alive, the amount of time and energy it takes them to research and provide that care is all consuming. The cost to the family, the marriage, the other children, and to the mother’s well-being is indescribable. 80% of American marriages with a special needs child fall apart.
The cost to our families and future of our country from losing the potential contribution of even one child, their inventions, skills, and unique self-expression, is also incalculable. We have a society where a huge portion of parents are barely surviving because of the impact of toxins on their family. This was not the American dream.
One need only to visit a social media group for parents caring for special needs children to see they often turn to alcohol to numb the loneliness and exhaustion. Many overwhelmed parents who eat cheap, fast, and tasty fast food on a regular basis and consistently drink alcohol, develop colitis, IBS, or other gut issues which can be quite painful. Their doctors give them opioids for the pain, contributing to the growing opioid addictions and deaths. Experts in healthcare have shared with me personally that they predict 250,000 deaths this year alone from opioid deaths. Yet, many of our doctors are not looking for the source of the pain, to prevent it. Instead they mask it with addictive painkillers and drive our society further into despair and destruction.
It does not have to be this way.
These health afflictions and skyrocketing costs are in fact, mostly preventable. According to Dr. Stanton Hom, Clinic Director of Future Generations Clinic of Chiropractic in San Diego, "The most compelling research was actually medical anthropological research from Drs. Boyd Eaton, Loren Cordain, and Melvin Konner, that shows there was NO evidence of chronic illness in our hunter gatherer ancestors - not even acne. And that our genome has not changed in 10-40,000 years.
This would lead one to believe that 100% of chronic illness is from the environmental exposures. My teachings and clinical outcomes have shown me that ALL diseases with the exception of purely genetic conditions like Down syndrome are epigenetically changeable/healable."
This means preventable as well...by changing the environmental exposures to toxins, primarily food, we could prevent these enormous health care costs and impact on our society. My family's health care costs after switching to organic and addressing the gut biome? Almost zero.
