Our Health At Risk: What's going wrong in our health system?
By Janice-Ann Priest, Dsc, CNHP, NC, DipHerb, Kn
Our Health At Risk: What's going wrong in our health system? by Janice-Ann Priest outlines and carefully documents the practices of the pharmaceutical industries of New Zealand, Australia, and the United States and their inextricable links with the inherent problems of the medical industry and public health. Priest explains in a no holds barred monologue that propaganda has long perpetuated "blind faith to the medical gods" (p. 5) and conveys that the clever marketing of discomfort and disease helped to create and uphold what she describes as the one system -- one way monopoly that finally is being challenged through enlightenment.
She explains that these industries too often unite in the wrong-headed masking of symptoms rather than exploring to discover the underlying mental and emotional states that can play a role in the onset of imbalances and blocked energy that can manifest as malfunctions and diseases. She also exposes the passion and prejudice that drives these industries to downplay natural modalities and alternative approaches to better health. Priest encourages support of complementary health care methods that ferret out causes to correct imbalances in a holistic manner to help patients to mend and to heal and to put them onto a pathway to a finer focus and better health -- mentally, physically, and spiritually -- and a better life.
The author also includes a glossary of literary definitions for health, a timeline of literary dates and events related to the evolution of health care, and a brief history of the healing arts including the early history of herbalism, apothecary, and pharmacy and their influences on the health systems of New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. The book also presents a storehouse of warnings and health care statistics and provides a guide through a maze of medical information.
Our Health At Risk is must reading for thinkers who cherish their good health and wish to guard it with wise choices from a far-ranging host of natural healing modalities rather than succumbing to the one system -- one way medical myth.
