Mediocrity is more like it as the overall health of the country seems to be declining. Doctors are trained and indoctrinated to use only three things...tests and more tests, medical interventions and drugs. That barely scratches the surface of healthy living and healing. The best medicine is mostly free and seldom all that expensive. First on the list is sunshine. Next is a bit of exercise. Then comes diet and then thought awareness to blast away the clutches of stress and anxiety.
