Video Transcript: Why the USA is NOT the Best Place if You Have Chronic Disease
Ty Bollinger: One of the things you said is that in the United States, you mentioned if you had a bone sticking out of your leg, you want to go to the emergency room. And I am with you. If I have an arm amputated… I am a firm believer in natural solutions and natural treatments for disease. But if I got an arm amputated, I’m not going to take some aloe vera gel and rub it on that wound. I’m going to go to the emergency room as quickly as possible; so I’m with you. But you said that if you have a chronic disease, that the U.S. is not the place to be. Could you kind of expand on that? Why is the U.S. not the place to be in that situation?
AJ Lanigan (Immunologist): Well, I think it is a combination of ourselves wanting that immediate fix. We want a pill or a potion to fix something right now. We don’t want to be uncomfortable; we don’t want to be inconvenienced.
A child growing up gets an ear infection. There’s nothing rare about ear infections. Ear infections have been here since time immemorial. But that parent, rather than just take some time off and taking the days necessary for the kid to work his way through… is on the phone with a doctor’s office getting some of that pink bubblegum antibiotic, calling in a prescription, so that they don’t miss work the next day.
It’s not that I’m judging. I’m just saying kids were not born with antibiotic deficiencies; but they are certainly treated that way. Well, you know, here goes the long line… end up killing the good gut flora by the time they start to school. And that begets and that begets.
Is there any wonder why cancer is “incurable?” Is it any reason to debate why cancer is really out of control? When I was a kid, they’d talk about cancer affecting maybe one out of six. Now the numbers are more like one out of two men, and one out of three women − if they live long enough.
That being the fact, why not try to get ahead of the curve? And I don’t see the money being spent on getting ahead of the curve. Money is being spent on early diagnosis, but once you’re diagnosed we sell you another pill or a potion. We can give you another shot, we can give you another round of chemo or radiation.
I don’t know that that is where the money necessarily needs to be spent. Of course, I’m not the smartest guy in the world. You know, I don’t make hundreds of billions of dollars like the companies make in potions and pills, so who am I?
Article Summary
If you have a chronic disease, the U.S. is not the place to be.
We want a pill or a potion to fix something right now. We don’t want to be uncomfortable or inconvenienced.
Money is being spent on early diagnosis, but once you’re diagnosed the medical industry sells you another pill or potion.
Where would you go if you had chronic Lyme Disease?
You should maybe check if you have mold. I was very sick for years doing everything I could to be healthy all to find out my house and everything in it was causing it. Best of luck to you.
I would look into the possibility that it might be a low level virus. Doctors say “lyme disease” when they don’t know what your problem is. Check out Anthony WIlliam, the Medical Medium.
I totally agree getting a head of the curve is where money should be spent. But of course that would just make sense. Lives would be saved and of course money would be lost. I’m from Alberta Canada and there’s not much difference here when comes to preventive actions. We as individuals have to do our home work and take the initiative do help ourselves
The US is a really bad place to be at the moment for health in general. And a lot of it is mainly due to EMF pollution. The rural areas might be better, if they are free of EMF pollution, but the cell networks are so strong that even places in the middle of nowhere can be exposed. But I’m also confident in the US people, that once they are sufficiently informed about the real dangers of EMF and their causes they will act quickly. Once the public was sufficiently informed of the dangers of tobacco pollution, laws were quickly passed over the course of a couple years pretty much prohibiting tobacco use in public altogether.
Totally agree on the EMF’s . What products do u have to protect yourself?
I have enjoyed all the videos and articles related to health and cancer treatment alternatives. When we talk about chronic illness, can we look more wide spread. What about HIV/AIDS? Would love to hear more about cures versus treatment.
Hi Christine,
Thanks for your comment!
We currently do not have information about this, but we may in the future. Thanks for your suggestion.
I’m sure Mr. Lanigan is correct, but, I’m sorry, he just doesn’t look all that healthy.
