Staying healthy is something that most of us desire and most people actually take steps towards better health. By default the teachings of conventional medicines have patients heading in a disastrous path of bad health. It’s known that the American model of health care is dealing with some issues. There are many reasons as to why this system is failing, and there are in-your-face solutions that are being ignored.

Trista Polo and Dr. Raj Banerjee take a moment to discuss the American model of health care and why it’s poisoning the nation. Invest 20 minutes and listen to these two explain the mistakes being made by U.S. health systems and ways to avoid its susceptibility.

Dr. Banerjee simply articulates the faults of the American model of health care by using factual data gathered by research and other studies. Conventional medicine is plaguing the nation by drowning it in a sea of prescription drugs.

The Land of the Healthy… or Not

The amazing growth and expansion of today’s technology can leave a person wondering, “What’s left to cure?” Turns out it’s still everything. While the technology is ever advancing, the medical field is only out for one thing, ‘MONEY’. Medicines are meant to cure ailments and by that logic the United States should be the healthiest country, just by sheer volume of prescription drug consumption.

The United States makes up only 3 percent of the global population. That’s hardly anything to shrug at, but when Americans are responsible for 40 percent of the total drug consumption, that is something worth noting.

By being a leading country in medicine usage, the US should be among the top healthiest and have a higher life expectancy. The truth is, the U.S. ranks in the 49th percentile for male and female mortality rates. The big question here is, “If we’re taking the medicines, then why are we so unhealthy?”

Do Doctors Really Know Medicine?

Ever since childhood, we go to the doctor when we feel sick. These days there is an alarming increase in medical mistakes that result in death. The American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States.

Doctors are over prescribing medications that aren’t preventing the problems. The word doctor translates into "teacher", and it is a quality that has been lost. Individuals are taking several kinds of medicines and some of those may not react well with others. This mixing of prescription drugs is causing a spike in preventable drug related adverse reactions, which affects over 450,000 people and claims early 109,000 lives per year.

A majority of these are due to misdiagnosis or the treatment of the wrong illness. The point is, that a side effect from one drug could be mistakenly treated as a whole new illness. This leads to overloading the body with medicines it doesn’t need. Dr. Banerjee states, “Patients receive multiple prescriptions at varying strengths, some of which counteract each other or cause more severe reactions when combined.”

This is something that doctors are should be aware of and need to ask patients if they are taking any other medications. Adverse drug reactions can be prevented when proper steps are taken and you discuss your medications freely with your doctor. The kicker is that most people are seeing more than one doctor who is prescribing them with a medication. This is where the American model of health care is failing.

Trista Polo and Dr. Raj Banerjee explore solutions and identify other faults with the American model of health care in this podcast:

- Factual statistics on in-hospital adverse drug reactions
- Why pharmaceutical companies are poisoning our bodies just to make a buck
- How medical mistakes are increasing, leading to a rise in hospital deaths
