Sick Care

America's healthcare system isn't broken—it's working exactly as designed. As a nurse practitioner, I've spent over 25 years on the wrong side of a system built on racism and perfected by greed. A system that profits more when you stay sick than when you get well. A system that ties your health to your employer, bankrupts you for getting cancer, and fights preventative care because there's no money in keeping you healthy.

In 1918, a world war raged, and a lethal strain of influenza circled the globe. In the midst of all this death, a bizarre disease appeared in Europe.

You have herbs in your cabinet. You have zero reliable results. Not because the plants don't work. Because you've been using them the way you use Tylenol — one symptom, one herb, no logic connecting them. That's not a remedy problem. That's a missing operating manual. Bio-Logic Herbalism is the manual. Most herbal books ask you to trust them. This one asks you to understand. Trust can be misplaced. Understanding cannot be taken away. This guide doesn't ask you to believe that chamomile is "calming." It explains that chamomile contains apigenin — a compound that binds to the same ...

At a time when access to health care in the United States is being widely debated, Nortin Hadler argues that an even more important issue is being overlooked. Although necessary health care should be available to all who need it, he says, the current health-care debate assumes that everyone requires massive amounts of expensive care to stay healthy. Hadler urges that before we commit to paying for whatever pharmaceutical companies and the medical establishment tell us we need, American consumers need to adopt an attitude of skepticism and arm themselves with enough information to make some of their own decisions.
