The reverse has         happened: evidence is given to show that the health of the nation has deteriorated. The NHS now costs £100 billion a year putting pressure on its         continued existence.         \u003cbr\u003e         There are two main causes for this and for the present crisis in health care provision.     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e         First : The Welfare Principle that the State will provide in key areas including income, education and healthcare. This has lead to the end of         self-reliance and responsibility.         \u003cbr\u003e         The causes of ill health largely depend on the choice of each individual’s life style, diet, cooking and eating habits. It is clearly unfair that the         whole population should pay for the consequences of individual’s irresponsible choices of lifestyle and diet. The origins of the Welfare State are         described.         \u003cbr\u003e         An approach to eating healthily based on natural principles of diet and cooking which is probably the only thing over which we have complete control.         The causes of obesity and its safe, effective treatment are given.         \u003cbr\u003e         No amount of external medical intervention of any kind can correct a failure to live and eat healthily.     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e         Second : The medical treatment now widely offered does not produce good health but rather the reverse, evidence for this is given with a researched         critique of the present drug industry led medical treatment including facts on the withdrawal of unsafe drugs and the failure of regulation.         \u003cbr\u003e         An alternative model of medical education and practice is suggested detailing a medical system which is inexpensive and effective based on the         combination of present medical treatment and alternative medicine together providing a genuinely individual approach to each patient. Without treatment         being conducted and given for each patient’s individual needs both with medicine and advice on life style and eating- medical practice is largely         wasteful.         \u003cbr\u003e         Homoeopathic medicine in particular treats each patient individually. Homoeopathic medicines are in addition extremely inexpensive.     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e         Inequality of income – A further cause of much illness and costly reliance on the NHS is shown to be due to the large difference between the richer and         poorer segments of our population.     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e         Unless Society is improved by reforms in social justice, equality and correct information and also individuals take responsibility for their own diet         and life style, as this book suggests, the nation’s health remains at risk.     \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143399915760,"sku":"9781456786199","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781456786199_p0.jpg?v=1763863546","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781456786199","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
