The Price of Healthcare

In 1994 the World Health Organisation released a staggering report from the Congress in Geneva. Of the 5.6 billion people on our planet, 2.5 billion are ill at any one time!
During 1994, 6 million people died from cancer.

Now it is 2008 with 7 Billion people on our planet. Lifespan expectancy has increased but there is no improvement in Modern Lifestyle Diseases.

Over 10 million died from cardiovascular disease, i.e. heart and circulation problems.

These problems are increasing. The incidence of asthma, diabetes and a host of other diseases are on the increase, and we know that 70% of all deaths are premature because of diet related deficiencies and excesses.

Now 30% of our school children are overweight or suffer from hypertension, high blood pressure or other debilitating diseases such as asthma or diabetes!

§ One in four children now carry a Ventolin® inhaler or similar device.

§ The incidence of diabetes has increased 10 fold since 1935!

The problem is the "Western style diet, Polluted Food Chain, adulterated water and Lack of Exercise".
