Affordable Alternative Health and Aromatherapy as an Answer to Exhorbitant Medical Expenses or no Health Insurance!
Alternative Healing
Explores Alternative Health options due to skyrocketing health costs, the many with no Health Insurance or as a last resort with failure of pills and doctor visits.
Depression for one is a serious health concern facing many in the world today and for quite a few, pills and psychotherapy aren't cutting it! At a hundred dollars a pop, a doctor's visit is clearly not a way to go for many. $ 240. is the cost for a generic blend of depakote, a popular mood stabilizer, I for one was on to control my mood swings often associated with bipolar. Thank goodness I was on Medicaid lest I couldn't afford this! HOw about the many that can't afford it and are the working poor? Yes many do in fact work for minimum wage for places like Walmart, our biggest employer, but they offer no benefits especially medical. Despite themany hours some put in here, Walmart is notorious for keeping their employees below full time status so they can avoid sick leave,health insureance,vacation pay,birdthday pay,vacations and the like that many other companies do pay! In fact it is so sad that Walmat even had to be pulled into court to pay insurance costs for their many employees!
Their actions don't stop us tho from flocking to their stores to get a great deal on toilet paper now do they?! No, we will not stop saving a dollar here for the bigger picture of say buying from a Mom and Pop shop down the road that charges $ 1 more for the sake of protecting children working or the sweat shops making your earrings for a dollar in some Third World country or China! No, us Americans will not give up the convenience and econmical sense of a Walmart. This one stop haven is a place for many to spend in these economically trying times! We don't care who is getting abused or violated in the process as long as we are comfortable and happy!
The cattle industry is a prime example of how many haven't stopped shoving meat intotheir fat traps eventhough they process to love animals! We all know how brutal the cattle industry is in shooting it's cows right in front of one another, right in the head! Or the chickens dying on the conveyor belt! These inhumane practices are alive and well despite the efforts of your PETA and Humane Society or ASPCA. Yes some have stopped buying fur as they realize one can be equally as warm in wool, without killing 50 mnk in the process. Yes some are using alternate skin care products of botanicals like Arbonne instead of say Neutrogena or ones doing animal testing and haveing animal by-product like your anti-menopausal potion made from calf liver! Yes we are exploring options but.. the ones who are are few and far between as many still endorse the companies like Revlon and Neutrogena that are full of chemicals and do in fact do animal testing.
It seems that we have no conscience as long as we get waht we want at the expense of innocent children, animals, women...or our planet. With the awakening of America due to the efforts of Al Gore adn the 11th Hour, we now are atleast trying to do something about global warming. Many tho stil do nothig as they think it is all a hox contrived by the Green party and crazy Ralph Nadar. Not sure how many species of animals and flora need to be wiped out before we stop going to space and bombing in the desert!
With all the soicial problems plaguing America, we still have not stopped butting into others' affairs as evidenced by our involvement in Iraq, despite the fact that wwe never found one weapon of destruction there! Yes Binladen in fact was in a cave some where in Afghanistan but.. we still are bombing Iraq and killing it's people and animals and destroying it's landscape today! health care is the nuber one threat facing our nation today! Along with education and our environment yet.. it is not of interest to the Republican party who is war hungry adn more concerned about keeping their voters who got them into office like the tobacco and oil companies, happy. Not sure how many more children right here in the states have to go hungry or go to bed tonite without health care or how many more women have to die from breast cancer that has spread throughout their bodies because they couldn't afford a followup visit, before we wake up and smell this bitter brew of Black yes Black coffee!
