In your disease, sickness and pain lies the growth and success of this industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 2.50em; line-height: 1.1em; color:#006000;\">E<\/span>njoying a happy and healthy life is at the top of every ones wish list. Those of us who have lost the joys of health, or those who have the family members suffering from a devastating disease, fully appreciate the value of good health.<\/p>\n<p>If the health and happiness could be packaged in a pill form and made available to public, people would be willing to liquidate their retirement nests to buy the life time supply of the magic pill. The human lazy state ensures that people would rather pay for the instant self gratification, than work to acquire it. And, the Pharmaceutical and Drug industry understands this human psychology very well, and exploits it to sell us their packaged potions as remedies to all type of ailments; form physical diseases to mental disorders, and from real ailments to the &#8216;make believe&#8217; ailments.<\/p>\n<p>As a matter of fact, the state of physical and mental health is maintained by adopting a healthy life style. But, in order to incorporate a healthy life style, we need to know what actually is the healthy lifestyle. Naturally, we rely upon the <em>trusted sources<\/em> around us to obtain the information and to educate ourselves on this very important subject. But, if those sources have been corrupted and infiltrated to deliberately lead us into ruining our health, rather than educating us to learn to enjoy a healthy life, then the outcome is what we are witnessing now.<\/p>\n<p>In order to understand our state of health, or rather lack of it, we need to understand our so-called Health Care system &#8211; the front for the Big Pharma.<\/p>\n<p>In the Era before the Big Pharma, diseases were rare, and mostly related to malnutrition and lack of hygiene. Health care, though an essential service, was not a gateway to wealth and prosperity. Health care providers were respected, and enjoyed a comfortable life, but did not have the luxury of the abundance and wealth. The health care providers of that era &#8211; doctors, hospitals and pharmacies, had no incentive in prolonging the suffering of their patients. They wanted them to be fit and on their feet fast.<\/p>\n<p>That was until the health care was still a\u00a0service.<\/p>\n<p>The Healthcare has now morphed into a giant industry &#8211; Almost a 20 % component of the US GDP. This is the age of the\u00a0Big Pharma.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-left:-15px; font-size: 1.4em;\">The Emergence of The Big Pharma<\/h3>\n<p>In the early 1920s, it downed upon some clever <em>Entities<\/em> that immense amount of wealth could be accumulated by transforming the Health Care Service into the\u00a0Disease Care Industry. It was a revolutionary idea and a marvelously brilliant business plan. The progenitors of this g<em>reat idea<\/em> recognized that the success and growth of this <em>Industry<\/em> was dependent upon the ever growing supply of new customers, holding on to the acquired customers, and selling more <span style=\"color: #003366;\"><em>products<\/em><\/span> to them.<\/p>\n<p>And, they had the plan. The blue print of the plan was thoughtfully developed along the lines of the following age old <span style=\"color: #003366;\">con scheme<\/span>:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-left:-15px; font-size: 1.4em;\">The Window(s) of Opportunity!<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background-color: #fcfcfc; border-left: 5px solid #eaeee1; margin: 5px 20px 20px 10px; padding: 10px;\">In a little town &#8211; consisting just a few thousand homes, there was a &#8216;little window-glass repairman, known around the town as <span style=\"color: #003366;\">Little Ma<\/span>. Once in a while he would get a call to fix a broken glass pane. Needed by the town &#8211; but once in a while, though &#8211; The window repairman was a little poor man.<\/p>\n<p>That was, until the little fairy showed him the way!<\/p>\n<p>The little window repairman hired some nasty little kids to break the glass panes, just a few windows at a time, under the cover of darkness.<\/p>\n<p>As his nasty kids got busy, his business started growing in leaps and bounds.<\/p>\n<p>The little window repairman then hired some little apprentices as he got busier.<\/p>\n<p>The little window repairman was a firm believer in the philosophy of <em>re-investing<\/em> to achieve a continuous growth. He just kept on replicating his formula for the success and growth of the business &#8211; from one little town to the next little town. Soon, the little window repairman&#8217;s operation had taken over the &#8216;Window pane Repairs business all over the country.<\/p>\n<p>The little window repairman was no more little &#8211; He had morphed into The Grand Ma.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The <span style=\"color: #003366;\">Grand Ma<\/span> of the age old con scheme presented above, has since been metamorphosed into the Health Care Industry &#8211; <span style=\"color: #003366;\">The Big Pharma<\/span>. It is the product of an immensely clever idea that was conceived back in 1920s &#8211; based on the same old age &#8220;<span style=\"color: #003366;\"><em>windows of opportunity<\/em><\/span>&#8221; con scheme. The Health Care Industry has since emerged as by far the largest industry in the US.<\/p>\n<p>And, the <span style=\"color: #003366;\"><em>nasty little kid<\/em>s<\/span> of the old Ma, the likes of <span style=\"color: #003366;\">Macs, Kings<\/span>, and <span style=\"color: #003366;\">Colas<\/span>, are hard at work to keep on providing a steady supply of <em>customers<\/em> to the Big Pharma.<\/p>\n<p>The revenue of the Disease Care Industry, aka the Health Care Industry, surpassed the <span style=\"color: #3f66ad; font-weight: bold;\">3.2 trillion dollar<\/span> mark in 2018 &#8211; that was more than 20% of that year&#8217;s GDP of the USA. The <em>&#8216;Industry&#8217;<\/em> proudly project it&#8217;s growth for the next few years to be in the range of 10% to 12% &#8211; It is by far the fasted growing industry in the USA. No other industry comes even close to it.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, it is a great success story &#8211; The very first time in the human history an industry has grown, immune to any recessions and depressions, to this extent. The Big Pharma is a unique business model with no parallels.<\/p>\n<p>And, the key to the success of this industry lies in the never exhausting demand for its products and services, and the perpetual and constant repeat business.<\/p>\n<p>Your good health and well-being is a grave danger to the health of the Big Pharma. In your disease, sickness and pain lies the growth and success of this industry.<\/p>\n<p>The Disease Care industry, with its trillions of dollars in annual cash flow, is the largest contributor of advertising revenue to media outlets in the nation. Almost all the <em>health<\/em>\u00a0related magazines, journals, and TV shows\/dramas are either directly sponsored by this industry, or profit by carrying the industry approved commercials &#8211; pushing the drugs to an unsuspecting\u00a0public. Its deep pockets accommodate the entire apparatus of the governmental agencies that were supposed to regulate it. FDA itself is the creation of the Big Pharma. The Commissioner of the Food and Drugs Administration always comes from the Health\/Disease Care Industry &#8211; so do most of its directors.<\/p>\n<p>The Industry has covered all the bases &#8211; in your sickness lies its wealth and prosperity.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>&#9758;<\/strong> Would you still like to trust the Healthcare Industry sponsored sources to educate you and guide you in adopting a healthy life style?<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height:5px; border:none; margin: 15px auto 25px auto; color:#eaeee1; background-color:#eaeee1; width:70%; text-align:center; \">\n<p style=\"text-align:center; margin-bottom:-5px; margin-top:15px; font-size: 1.2em; color: #336699;\">&#8212; Take Charge! &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lifevibrant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/LF2-520x245.png?resize=520%2C245\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"245\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-387\" style=\"margin-bottom:30px; margin-top:10px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lifevibrant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/LF2-520x245.png?resize=520%2C245&amp;ssl=1 520w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lifevibrant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/LF2-520x245.png?resize=300%2C141&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lifevibrant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/LF2-520x245.png?resize=720%2C340&amp;ssl=1 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center !important;\">&#9752; &#9752; &#9752; &#9752; &#9752;<\/h3>\n<hr style=\"height:5px; border:none; margin: 15px 0px 5px 0px; color:#eaeee1; background-color:#eaeee1; width:100%; text-align:center; \">\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.50em; line-height: 1.1em; color:#006000;\">Y<\/span>our good health and well-being is a grave danger to the health of the Big Pharma.
