"There are a great many things that western medical institutions and personnel do extraordinarily well. We have sophisticated surgical technology and an advanced pharmacopeia of medicines to treat hundreds of diseases. But the bulk of our medical resources go towards curing rather than prevention. What we do dedicate to prevention tends to be limited to proximate factors such as germs and personal behaviors such as smoking that make individuals sick. We also divert resources into campaigns for procedures such as mammograms which detect but do not prevent disease. We pay less attention to poverty, inequality, environmental degradation and, yes, globalization, as root causes of sickness."
The author of this does not see that organized healthcare is a big business that makes money off the treatment of diseases not their prevention. This is why the war on cancer is such a hoax: you have the cancer industry and their pawns, the cancer charities, keep blaming the individual for the disease yet they ignore and hide the real causes of the disease, and use known deceptive cancer statistics to fool the public about their alleged beneficial interventions such as mammography, and allocate almost all the research money into more orthodox treatments (read the epilogue of this article: google/bing "A Mammogram Letter The British Medical Journal Censored"). The same way are economic-sociological factors, such as poverty, income inequality, dismissed and disregarded... to hide the real truth from the public, which is that the biggest profiteers (the power elite) bear the vast majority of the blame for most of these diseases.
