I just retired from 50 years of nursing. I was taught to teach my patients good health habits, how to maintain a healthy immune system, healthy diets etc. Medical care has taken a very wrong turn over the years. It is symptom based rather than cause based. Prescription based rather than lifestyle changes based. Regulatory agencies & insurance companies have way too much say so & power. Acidic bodies are the cause of most health issues like cancer, diabetes which leads to cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, retinal issues. Also osteoporosis, fractures. The most common cause of acidic bodies is dehydration from lack of pure water and replacing water with carbonated beverages. Weak immune systems lead to more illness as well. The best thing people can do for their health is:
water
exercise
sunshine
fresh air
decrease stress
increase spiritual well being

as an RN for 32 years I completely agree!
Also along with rhis is rhe non compliance of people who r taught just to take a pill, thats what the doctor orders, but u can talk all day long to some and tell them to get healthy but its just easier for some to take a pill.
thats why I got out of clinical nursing...no more compassion left for thise who dont and wont take care of themswlves
