Shift Happens

About the Book

Shift Happens is about taking control of your health. The book presents an overview of conventional medicine, natural medicine and ubiquitous self-healing. In the course of the exploration, the reader will learn about conventional medicine's incompetence, corruption and conflicts of interest -all of which contribute to death by the medical system, the leading killer in North America today. By examining standard symptom-diagnosis-treatment models employed by conventional and natural medicine, Shift Happens demonstrates why the public's overall health is getting worse -and not better. To establish the background of modern pharmaceutical health care, Shift Happens profiles the 20th century rise of a medical-industrial complex and how it now permeates the fabric of society, influencing governments, universities, media and public consciousness -all in the name of profit.

After examining the failing contemporary healthcare model, Shift Happens then focuses on the natural healthcare complex and its shortcomings. The book finds natural healthcare, though obviously different in many ways from conventional healthcare, employs a similar symptom-diagnosis-treatment model -a model that creates dependance rather than freedom. In the end, natural and pharmaceutical healthcare share more similarities than differences, which perhaps offers an explanation why they are in conflict over the same consumer dollars, and why pharmaceutical giants would like to assimilate the natural health industry.

Shift Happens is about providing answers to the current public healthcare crisis that we all face. This is addressed and embodied in the expression, ubiquitous self-healing -a way to reclaim our God-given right to health, prosperity and happiness. This third, and final section of the book, briefly explores; what we know historically about health and longevity, why diet cannot be more standardized, the root causes of disease, the error of treating symptoms and the misinformation and lies we have been told about health and disease. Finally, the reader is presented with tangible ways to break free of the pharmaceutical medical system and begin the process of self-healing. Shift Happens is a positive affirmation. But like anything that threatens the status quo, self-healing takes courage and a willingness to break accepted patterns of thought and habit. Shift Happens presents the stark facts of healthcare and provides alternatives and answers. It is a book about taking back control of your health.
