Thank you! Along with the measures listed in the post we need to emphasize prevention. The abysmal response of the US to the COVID-19 pandemic is a perfect example of what happens when politicians and ignoramuses are not vigorously challenged by scientific truth. In particular there needs to be a vigorous campaign to ensure maximum use of vaccination together with education to counter superstition and disinformation and mandates to ensure compliance.

We also need thoughtful reform of our public health system, top down starting with the CDC. (Did you know that as late as 2021 -the last time I looked- they had no internal organization dealing with airborne transmitted infections?). Local public health authorities need more visibility and authority. For entertaining insights into this, read Michael Lewis' The Premonition.

Great to hear from you. You make a great point about prevention. Actually chronic disease begins as soon as you have extra abdominal fat. It make multiple hormones that foster the develpment of hypertension, diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes.

Japanese Society of Ningen Dock started their screening program to prevent fatty liver and excessive belly fat decades ago. They engendered a culture of unhealthy “METABO” images in the public. The end result is that Japan has the lowest type two diabetes in the developed countries, only 4.3%!

Thank-you for your thoughtful article and enlightened ideas. Whether it be in a hospital, assisted living or home (often better), we need to restore TRUST. As long as that road remains closed, we're stuck. The silence regarding "Covid Vaccine Deaths" must end!

Our treatments are entirely ineffective if people don't trust us enough to use them

Yup! 💯%! To replace this failing and corrupt system, I call it the diabolical “late-stage-sickness-seeking-profiteering” kabuki dance theatrics sponsored by the big pharmaceutical and device companies, the American Med 2.0, we must start from a fundamental principle: early detection and warning of all root causes which initiate the onset of chronic diseases to enable safe and effective empirically proven lifestyle optimization measures to prevent and reverse the physiological decline before the onset of the chronic diseases.

We have created Premier Heart’s Multifunction Cardiogram Technology Platform is designed to spearhead the transformation of healthcare into a new 21st Century System of care, the American Med 3.0! In this new paradigm, we must insist that all treatment options must be 💯% patient-centered, empirical evidence based, thoroughly verifiable, validated, replicated, re-validated to deliver the best possible outcomes and the lowest possible cost.
