The basis for healthcare changed from cause based (looking for and treating the cause of illness like poor diet, lack of sunshine and exercise as an example) to symptom based care. (Treating the symptoms with pharmaceuticals.) Then the degradation of the food supply fed the symptoms making them worse. Fast food with Big Gulps of sugar laden soda, bottled water, sweets, etc that make the body acidic. Acidic bodies are more prone to illness. And so the process becomes a vicious cycle of illness- medication- illness- medication. People do not want to take responsibility for their own health either. They want a quick and easy fix. 😏
