Big Pharma, Puppet Docs,Medicare, and The Raping of Our Seniors

One of my paths in life takes me visiting the sick, our seniors.  Today was one such day when, unexpectedly, I received a phone call and found myself spending a good part of the day at Jim and Geraldine's house.  Jim is diabetic and Geraldine, his wife, works in a grocery chain with the constant hope that somehow, someday, she will make ends meet.

As we spoke of Jim's condition, we touched on all the medicines that he takes.  The list is too long to post here.  I have known Jim and Geraldine for quite a while and know better than to outwardly preach about natural healing because despite the agony that Jim goes through, he proudly states, that he will do whatever his doctor instructs him to do.  I thought of that old adage, "And if your doctor tells you to jump off a cliff, will you?"  Sadly, the answer would be yes.

About four years ago Medicare, which was instituted to protect our seniors, took a very silent and subtle shift.  All of a sudden our seniors found themselves paying hundreds of dollars for medications that they needed in order to stay alive.  The doctor maze that they had been traveling through had reached the point that their bodies were now being kept alive by synthetic drugs.  What had occurred was that without telling those insured, Medicare had stopped paying for brand name drugs.  Of course, much of the medication needed by these patients only came in brand names.  How convenient.  Hence, all of a sudden they found themselves paying ridiculous amounts for the privilege of staying alive.

A couple of years ago various Medicare plans were instituted to help defray this ridiculous cost.  This was nothing more than a smokescreen dressed in a pretty package.  Where are they now?  Worse off than they were before.  They have higher monthly payments, co payments, and our seniors are allowed a certain number of prescriptions before again they must pay the full price which amounts to hundreds of dollars a month for one prescription.  Exactly how are our seniors supposed to live?  Where is the reverence and love with which we are supposed to treat our older generation, our mothers and fathers?  Instead they are being raped by the medical profession.  Our seniors who grew up in the time when a a man became a doctor to actually help people.  They grew up in a time when a doctor would come to see a sick person in the middle of the night.   Their world changed so very quietly and subtly that they have no idea how it happened.  Now, our mothers and fathers have lost the very quality in their lives. 

If they go into assisted living or a nursing home, at least they get taken care of.  They get a bed and are fed their meals which consist of nothing else than restaurant canned foods.  Why are we serving slop to our mothers and fathers who took care of us while we were young?  Those who made sure we ate our vegetables are now being fed canned food containing sodium, preservatives and all those yummy chemicals.  Little do they know that upon entering an assisted living facility, they lose all their freedom as the staff takes over ensuring that doctor's instructions are strictly adhered to.  This will include taking away any supplements that they depend on for their health.  The doctor will take full control of what goes into your body.

Where did those golden years that we all look forward to go?  As the general public is afraid that soon they will lose all of their freedoms, little do they realize that our seniors have already lost them.  They are trapped in a world being controlled by Big Pharma, their puppet doctors and our government.  They have not only lost their self esteem, they have lost their very personhood.  Physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially, they have been raped, left to merely exist, thus spending their golden years.

Yet, mainstream medicine has instilled such fear in people that, rather than using the healing that God has provided us, when faced with serious illness, they will run back to mainstream medicine that only aids in their eventual demise.  Sadly, many times family pressures will drive others to mainstream medicine, the love and approval of their loved ones becoming paramount to doing what is in their best interest.

As I visit with our seniors, whether in nursing homes, hospitals, or their homes, I become more and more burdened.  There is so much information available with regard to natural cures, yet it never reaches their hands.  They trust the one institution that is supposed to help them.  The institution that has taken away their very dignity.
