The Nation’s True Top Killer (Exposed)

Dear Reader,
Do you ever find yourself surprised at the cost of prescription drugs?
The cruel reality is, Big Pharma makes a staggering amount of money off of people’s pain and suffering.
In fact, between 2000 and 2018, prices for drugs increased a jaw-dropping 159 percent…
And there is no end in sight.
It’s good news for stockholders, but not so much for you.
High prescription prices are a problem for many people. But there’s one heartbreakingly tragic statistic that comes as a result of these bank-breaking prices.
And it’s one we all need to know about…
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m all about finding you natural solutions for your health troubles. Why?
for several reasons: not only is nature nearly always better but it also comes without any dangerous side effects.
And nine times out of ten it doesn’t have an outrageous price tag. So not only are these natural remedies safer and more effective; they’re affordable too!
Because there’s something devastating that happens when prices are too high. People can’t afford to take their medicine. Which research shows will result in at least 1.1 million deaths over the next decade.
That’s what researchers at West Health Policy Center – who published their study with the Council for Informed Drug Spending Analysis — found.
That is over a million people dying. And dying because they cannot afford their medications.
In case you’re wondering that would make “not-being-able-to-afford-drugs” one of the top killers in the United States. (That is, deadlier than kidney disease, the flu, pneumonia, or diabetes.)
But it would be many more people than that because this study JUST looked at Medicare patients.
Then there is the cost…
Medicare beneficiaries typically pay 25 percent of the price for their drugs, the rest is out of their pocket. Medicare (and healthcare in general) can’t handle the increase in drug costs.
The researchers estimate that increase and drug costs will add another 1.75 billion dollars by 2030.
The key to this is understanding that these costs are largely due to people with chronic health problems.
Your simple solution is just to not have chronic health problems, and that’s where natural medicine and you come in.
Because truly, you can keep yourself healthier just by eating right and getting some exercise. It really can be that simple!
Dr. Scott’s Avoid Medicare Costs Program:
- Exercise: One of the best ways to keep your telomeres long is to exercise. Find something you love to do: walk, run, bike, swim, golf, tennis… and do it as often as you can.
- Fiber: Your body needs much more fiber than you are getting. Fiber helps to keep our bowels regular, but also takes toxins out of our bodies. My favorite fiber is ground flax seeds.
- Proteins: Grass-fed and free-range meats are low in chemicals and are full of good fats. These proteins help your body in a variety of ways.
- Antioxidants: Especially those found in colorful fruits and veggies. If you don’t get enough vegetables in your diet, make sure you supplement. I like a superfood blend I mix into my food every day.
- Curcumin: An extract of turmeric. Curcumin is anti-inflammatory and provides good antioxidant protection.
- Fish oils: They are essential fatty acids that most people are not getting enough of. Make sure you supplement if you are not eating fish two to three times a week.
- Vitamin E, selenium, CoQ10, and astaxanthin are supplements proven to help push back the clock on telomeres. These are best to supplement.
P.S. Big Pharma has had a lot of sneaky, naughty tricks up their sleeves over the years. But this one is, by far, one of the most despicable. Learn the truth about their “drug approvals” here and what it means for you.
