Like many other topics here, this is a very big subject, with different angles to look at it.  Have you ever wondered why so many people are obsessed with "benefits" at the workplace, or a carrot/stick approach to choosing a career?  That's because people wrongly think that you need benefits in the event that you get sick.  This is entirely true, but a big however is that did you know you can prevent nearly every sickness by mainly the proper supplementation regime.We should stop viewing the employer as the parent figure in the benefit relationship, nor let it sway you into a career field simply because it provides good pay and good benefits, because money won't buy health and drugs don't cure anything (chronic conditions anyway)!  Of course, these two things are useful in the current short-cycle, disposable 'system' we live in, but we should be looking at why you are choosing what you do.

Why are so many people obsessed with "benefits" from your workplace?

We've seen a "hallowing out" of the North American economies for the past 30 years with an especially large loss of sustainable work from the 2009 'recession.'  Many young people are and have been in very desperate situations especially when it comes to the healthcare of themselves and their families. 

With each recession (nevermind how recessions are caused) more and more people are put out of work and thus lose their employer-sponsored health insurance.

I haven't met many people who knew real alternatives to this "sickness insurance" from their employer except some nebulous talk of eating bags of fruit and going for walks. 

It requires much more than this general guideline advice!  These guidelines are not for your individual cellular requirements!

"Health Insurance" Compared to "Health Assurance"

If you have some kind of standard health insurance from your employer or from your own benefits plan, then you may not realize that you are probably missing out on a significant amount of modalities that are typically not covered for many reasons.

Brief Comparisons between Root Cause Doctors & "Conventional" doctors:

You don't need sickness insurance: you need health assurance!

What if I told you that you wouldn't need so much disease-insurance disguised as health insurance, and that bare minimum catastrophic insurance would suffice, especially if you lost your work?

My father was one of the primary people in my life drilling into my head that obtaining work with health insurance was one of the most important things, but that's because that's the world he grew up in.  When he was growing up people very often had employers who knew there would be work in their industry for many years, and companies, employees and families had a sense of ownership and loyalty to a company. 

This is the confusing propaganda that misleads us all

There's no such thing as a "balanced diet" & nutrition isn't merely food. Why is that? It's because we're all individuals. Orthomolecular nutrition is the individualized analysis application of the substances within the food which our bodies often do not obtain enough of and are often blocked by antagonists.

This isn't much  the case anymore and hasn't been for a very long time.  He also drilled into my mind that working hard and being responsible was one of the most important goals but again, this was during his time when money actually had value and you could afford even purchasing a house on a minimum wage job.  This also contributed to my anxiety of the world on top of my health concerns that doctors were dismissive about.

He used to tell me endlessly to try to obtain employment with benefits, but when we sometimes would discuss how difficult it was to obtain full-time  employment somewhere, he didn't have an explanation other than something like "they don't want to pay benefits!"  He said this line the exact same way each time without any explanation. 

This often left me with a very anxious feeling in my stomach because I thought it was the end of the world without having such insurance my father thought was so necessary.  Again, he couldn't explain much to me about things in life in general.   He repeated such depressive things to me among many other things that I eventually just learned to stop questioning because the adults in my life didn't have many answers, so this further added to my anxiety on top of my minimum hiatal hernia that I likely had since I was a child.  I have explained the circumstances around these discoveries in other parts of this website.

Now going to what is called a diploma mill called a "school" is the equivalent as buying a house was in the 1950s and the act of actually purchasing a house in today's world is out of reach for most.  

Root cause health realization is not part of public discourse

I was caught in more than several instances in my life where I did not have health insurance whatsoever.  I didn't know what to do when I started to fall into the cycle of dis-ease.  I didn't fully realize that my cells and most peoples' cells are not in very good shape whatsoever, and their doctors aren't trained in the practice of cellular micro-nutrition.

We are often caught in the situation where we think that people wearing white lab coats (usually people who call themselves doctors) are seen as the only people who know about health.  The sad reality is that, as previously mentioned, doctors are not trained in individualized biochemistry and metabolism, and not trained in prevention as countries like Japan  and other countries are.

The proof is in the pudding: why do we have so many chronic 'dis-eases' such as "mental illnesses," diabetes, cancer and many other new conditions if these people are supposedly constantly researching for a cure?  The truth is that has also become an industry based on the germ model, and each new 'treatment' they come up with creates new conditions down the cellular and genetic line because they aren't attacking the root cause. 

The root cause with virtually all health conditions is cellular nutrition deficiency and the downstream cellular dysfunction. 

Prevention is the first step

What if I told you that you could avoid many, if not all dis-eases and all of the common precursors to those including consuming alcohol, drug usage and other unhealthy lifestyles?  It's not as simple as cutting out social circles that encourage these unhealthy activities; it mostly involves rethinking how we view healthcare.

Rather than waiting for an illness to happen, we need to start viewing ourselves as how we care to a plant or a very expensive animal we may have as a pet. 

If we began to recognize the concept of individual metabolism and cellular nutrition we would quickly realize that each one of us has very unique micro-nutrient requirements.

If you could see what I am talking about when laid out in a graph or some kind of visual display it would make it much easier to understand.

Do you ever wonder why:

• so many people have dark spots under their eyes? 
• How about greying hair?
• Have you seen people who look much older than they look?

It's not entirely the same mantra of "it's genetics," because that mantra doesn't really mean too much or say much. 

When you start to dig deeper into this you see things like degrading cellular structures that cause dark spots under the eyes and one of the big ones would be: chronic scurvy or lack of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) causing the skin and underlying structures underneath the skin to start losing their structural support.  

In fact, a large percentage of us have chronic scurvy without knowing it and it doesn't have only to do with your teeth!  Your arterial walls and all connective tissues in your body depend on a minimum amount of Vitamin C to keep their integrity in the body.

What's the difference between this and your doctor?

Depersonalized, statistically-based, one-size-fits-all medical model under which doctors and patients suffer in common is what the government-funded model is around at least the Western world (ie. Canada, Europe, etc) practice and to varying degrees of variety.  Still, most of them are ignoring the individualized healthcare model focused on prevention and actual reversals of labelled conditions.

 Benefits:

• Won't need frequent dentist visits, nor cleanings or check-ups
• Significantly reduce risk of all health conditions

How is this possible?

All you have to do on a very basic level is try to imagine why your body breaks down on any level and that includes your teeth and hair. Is your doctor trained in advanced nutritional analysis and the recognition in the role of optimal nutrient levels in your body do to prevent and actually treat conditions?  The answer in North America is a resounding "NO."  

Have you ever wondered why there are so many people with degrees/diplomas, yet there are so many people out of work or underemployed?

This idea that everyone should obtain a degree or so-called 'higher education' is largely from a bygone era when conditions were very different.  Now the awarding of such things has led to what is called "credentialism," or the over-reliance on essentially pieces of paper as proof that one is 'educated.'  This myth has become a large-scale industrial fairytale, and the evidence is in the world around you: mountains of people underemployed, unemployed in a rapidly-changing economy in each country of the world.  The shift from a agrarian, then to manufacturing, then to service-based sector is also an academic myth and was promulgated in the minds of academics and working-class people over decades with a type of inevitability that we would all be flying around on the "information superhighway" that people like Bill Gates promised in 1995 when Windows 95 was introduced.  The reality, as you can especially now, is extremely different as we already described.  The idea that low-cost countries -- never mind asking how/why this works/doesn't work -- like China or India would make all of our products under slave-like conditions, and we simply work in offices in the service sector, is not working.  Indeed, this was the mantra of the neo-liberal agenda establishment for decades.

ILong story short:  somewhat recently was in a post-secondary program, met with one of the so-called administrators, and she told me people still needed a degree/piece of paper to get into the specific field we were talking about. This was coming from a so-called academic with a mile-long history sitting in offices, earning Master's degrees.  I countered that many fields now and their data/skillsets are changing so quickly (think information technology and how it is changing the working world) that a piece of paper doesn't matter as it once did.  She appeared to be one of those people repeating the same, tired mantra and probably hasn't been in the real world or researched 'alternative' statistics to see this is the case, yet they still offer the program on the same foundation that offering the same programs is working -- indeed it isn't and that is clearly displayed on many areas, but one of the biggest is the institution's increasingly over-reliance on international students for funding.  If these institutions were more 'progressive' in their delivery style on many levels, they may be able to more directly appeal to domestic students, but outdated bureaucracies take a very long time to change because they are not under the same free market, competitive pressure the private sector is.  Indeed, there is a big difference between informal and formal education.  While this industrialized/consumerist mindset pervades the Western world, other countries are taking advantage of this rigid fallacy to fully employ their populations without relying on band-aid approaches as we do in the Western world.

Ever wondered why it's so hard and competitive to find a work position?

There are many reasons as already outline, but one of them that the media virtually never talks about is: a fake labor shortage has been ongoing in at least North American countries.  What does this mean? Governments, business groups collude with each other to keep wages, benefits lowest as possible, by maintaining an ever-increasing supply of pliant and available (often times desperate) potential workers.
