AMERICAN CONFIDENCE IN MEDICAL PROFESSION IS DOWN, 75% TO 25%

This is a good reminder.
Dr. Mercola summarizes one of his stories today with these intriguing lines:
Trust in the medical profession has dramatically declined in recent decades. In 1966, more than 75 percent of Americans had great confidence in medical professionals; today only 34 percent do
Of course, Medicare and Medicaid made their debuts in 1965. Having thereby begun to nationalize medicine, the Feds tightened their stranglehold on the industry with every passing decade until the apotheosis of Obummercare. Think t; hat could account for today’s huge distrust?
Dr. Mercola adds:
Only 25 percent have confidence in the U.S. health system and a mere 14 percent trust the federal government will do what’s right most of the time
Yeah, I’m surprised the figures are that high, too. But, as P.T. Barnum (probably never) observed, a member of those percentages is born every minute.
So how do you answer this?  What to do, what to do?  Eat fresh fruits and vegetables.  Find ways of incorporating these at every meal.  If you want to stave off all disease, then this is the way to go.
