...vs NOT healing oneself naturally.


First number = days in horrorspital
Second number = average cost of stay in 2006

(from here: http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/reports/factsandfigures/figures/2006/2006_4_3.jsp)

Inpatient Hospital Stays for Principal Diagnosis*: Average Length of Stay and Average Charges, 2006

Not included on the list below, an outpatient laparascopic cholecystectomy - the going rate for having your gallbladder carved out seems to be around $4500-$8000.

Thinks & thoughts?:

--this is what one PAYS for exposing themselves to THE THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH in the USA.

--none of these procedures are in any way "healing" - they're all what is known as "disease management".

--see if you can find the ones (ten of them) that can EASILY be cured by $5 worth of garlic and/or $30 worth of Echinacea.

--why would anyone allow someone who believes in this system... (and/or doesn't understand the truth of natural healing, or refuses to take the time to learn about it) ...to pressure them, ridicule them, and negatively affect & impact their choices?

--what investment that you could EVER make will save you more money and provide more freedom & power than natural health & healing?
