Unfortunately, it goes where ever the provincial government wants that money to go regardless of how much the federal government thinks should be allocated to healthcare/education/etc...
I'd say it's more a provincial problem than federal.
Wouldn't our money be better spent in prevention (teaching people how to keep their bones healthy, yoga in school would be great) than in replacing parts that people don't know how to take care of?
This is my biggest disappointment with Canadian health care. That it has nothing to do with maintaining health, just maintaining life above the death line.
I used to write like crap as well, couldn't figure out why. Once i got rid of my glasses and corrected my vision by not focusing on details and focused on objects i write a lot better.
I realize now that my letters individually were ok, but words lacked similarity between the letters. So i could write letters just none in the same style. Losing the myopic viewpoint my handwriting has improved without practicing it.
Do you thrive on conflict or something? I'm not here to fight you, i just want to help people. If you don't want help then why do you keep coming back? I know i keep responding because i'd like to help some people to wake up, but why do you. Why do you insist on only looking at the pieces that make up what i'm saying and not the whole?
Bullshit. Check the stats - how many of your family died before the age of 10? Before "increased medical knowledge" the figure was about 50%. Today it's close to zero.
Or do you mean "more people can be identified as having some ailment of some kind?" Well, the more ailments you know about, the more you can identify. Someone who previously was just called "twitchy" can now have some neurological explanation given, for example. It doesn't necessarily solve the problem, but at least you know the reason for it.
No, i'm talking about western civ compared to other cultures. We are one of the sickest populations on the planet. We have one of the stiffest 'default' postures. We eat one of the most unhealthiest diets anywhere, and we expose ourselves to more toxins than some other groups. I know people keep using the excuse that since we know more we find more stuff wrong. I truly think that's wishful thinking when you take the rest of the human population into account.
Take a break from the reality inside your head and actually LOOK at the people around you! We know what healthy is supposed to look like, and the people around us by and large are not healthy. Men, who are attracted to women i don't know about others, know what perfect posture is in a female. Not kidding about this, but the most famous models and famous porn stars have good posture. It's automatic, we can recognize what a good body that is capable of movement looks like. I'm guessing it's also the fact that women with perfect bodies can actually move smoothly (no unequal tension) and twist themselves into pretzels in bed:)
And re getting your body to its healthiest state, there's an army of physiotherapists, nutritionists, occupational therapists, sports therapists, etc, etc who do just that. That claim is provably false.
And yet, LOOK at the people around you! YOu can say we have this and that so you're wrong. But look at the results!!! I don't see what's so hard about that, look at the people around you. Is everybody blind or something? When i was a kid i don't remember everybody being a fat cow! Oh, i know, it's not nice to say things like that. See it's more and more socially acceptable to be fat because there's so many god damn fat people around! Look around you, people are fat beyond belief, they limp, they struggle up the stairs, they make noises getting into and out of chairs. Do you honestly think this is normal? Do you think either the highly touted evolution or creationism would create such a shitty body??? The design of the whole body is based on movement, we need movement to stay alive. NO movement and that's when death starts to sink in. NObody moves! Thank god for blacks in america or maybe nobody would know how to move anymore. Have you noticed that the majority of black people stand differently than white people??? They don't have tight asses, the looser you are the better you can perform, probably why they make up some of the best athletes.
Just because there are dieticians doesn't mean everybody eats a perfect diet. Hell, the stupid food groups was mangled by the industry, it's hard as hell to get any proper information out there.
And your alleged reason for the problem - poor posture - fails by its own reasoning. If people get neckache and backache keeping their heads up, they *are* keeping their heads up. So they're looking through the correct part of their eyes.
Lets look at an extreme example? Ever see a hunchback? I know people are self involved, but it always amazes me how little people actually look at the people around them. We're not talking about a simple neck tilt that occurs at the first/second cervical. We're talking about around the 7th cervical.
Before i started this, i thought i knew what a troll was until the other guy called me one. NOw i'm not so sure. Here i am a person who has fixed their eyesight, cured their ankle/knee/back/neck/shoulder pain, lost my excess fat, figuring out all
Sheesh you get all hung up over basically one line. It's an easy way to say, something that can be subjectively grasped, rather than a technical explanation. A lens introduces an error of refraction, that error of refraction remains constant whether you are looking far or near. Your eye muscles then need to take into account this error of refraction constantly, you basically teach yourself how to see improperly. So while it's a crutch to help see better in the beginning it effectively teaches you how to see improperly.
Gosh, i really don't know why people are like you. Is it really that hard to believe that you can help yourself? It's not like i'm trying to sell you anything.
Now that i think of it, that's probably the problem. Americans don't seem to appreciate free advice.
Either way, it doesn't matter one iota to me. I don't need to know the intricacies of what turned you into somebody that is so cynical. If you want the help, or anybody else does, i'll be here.
I probably wasn't too clear about the focus thing. No effort needs to be made to see far. I thought that was perhaps too obvious. Of course you can see close objects, you have tense muscles. The only thing you can bring into focus when tense is near objects. Ever hear of nearpoint stress?.
That's not me, but it's in pretty easy to understand english. Most of it's correct.
I'm not really sure if any body cares what i think. However, i have fixed my eyesight.
Why do you squint when you have your glasses off? Have you ever spoken to somebody with perfect eyesight about the subjective experience of seeing? Seeing requires no effort. There is no verb to focus. When one TRIES to focus, that's where things go wrong.
Believe me, if you wear glasses you have no clue how the eye works! I'm not trying to be rude or anything but it's true. You do not know how to use your muscles to see, that's why you have glasses. In order to learn to see properly i had to try and forget everything i THOUGHT i knew about the eye and eyesight. I'm still not there, if i'm tired i'll switch to actively trying to 'focus' until i catch myself (quite easy i can't see!) and relax and let my eyes do their own thing.
Yes, i believe you think that your eyes are more relaxed with your glasses on. It feels normal. I believe that too. I went through that as well.
YOu see, any muscle in the human body that is tense all the time is going to feel normal when it's tense. That's part of the beauty of the human body, it adapts. I'll give an example of my girlfriend. She and i started yoga at the same time about 2 years ago. She had regular, very mild, back pain, probably due to her scoliosis. The more she progressed in yoga, the more painful different parts of her back would get, and painful for weeks or months on end. Her back muscles were in a constant state of tension mainly the right erector spinae and the right psoas which caused rotation and curvature of the spine. The more her muscles learned that they were capable of movement the less pain they were in and the straighter she has become. Now she experiences less pain when she's straight, and more pain when she's crooked.
So originally, she didn't even know there was anything wrong with her back even though it was in a state of constant tension! Exactly like your eye muscles. She's lucky too, she was just a few degrees off of them ramming a metal rod up her spine to correct her 'structural/uncurable' scoliosis.
So why do i know better? Because i informed myself! The research is out there, SCIENCE does know how the eye works to a large extent, the people who dish out medical science do not. The eye itself deforms for accomodation not just the lens, it just hasn't made it into the mainstream consciousness, and i'm sure it probably never will as long as there is a billion dollar industry out there that depends on it.
You sound like a person who believes in science. Don't let your belief in science lead you to believe everything that science says. Any competent scientist knows that a lot of the 'knowledge' that we currently have is going to be proven false. That's the way science works!
I was told that i would be blind by thirty, my condition would be uncurable. My medical doctor told me i wouldn't be able to run anymore because of my 'unchangeable' flat feet and bad knee that should have surgery. I've been to specialists in montreal and vancouver, not one doctor has ever been able to provide information on how to walk properly, they all said it was structural. Ever hear of tibial torsion? Where western medicines answer is to hack peoples legs off and rotate them? I was given tons of medication for back pain and rheaumatic arthritis, and for the intense migraines i would get. They said there was nothing to be done about my light sensitivity and the piercing pain i would experience from the blinding sun.
So where am i now? I can see better WITHOUT glasses than i ever could WITH glasses. Running is once again enjoyable as hell, it's like floating. No more knee problems, no back pain, no migraines, no arthritis, no more bloating, no more constipation. No more light sensitivity! In fact, i regularly stare into the sun nowadays (when uv is low), for some reason it helps with vision, though i have no idea how that one works nor do i have a theory.:)
Who cares what you think? You can believe the people who keep you buying glasses and going for eye exams, or maybe you can listen to the people who have 'cured' their eyesight. Cure being learning how to relax and control individual eye muscles.
Wake up buddy, medical science knows crap about how the body functions as a whole. It's focused on death and keeping you away from it. It has nothing to do with life and how to get your body to it's healthiest state.
haha, it's funny that with advanced civ and increased medical knowledge that we're actually getting sicker and sicker as a population.
Used to train in martial arts when i was younger. It stresses balance and posture, unfortunately it does not teach. I do yoga now, that teaches proper posture and movement.
Simple. You don't use antibiotics that attack on only one vector.
There are tons of natural substances which kill the badies but are way to complex to be adapted to.
But who are we kidding? Without evolving strains there wouldn't be any new 'medications', which means no new patents, which means no more money for the big pharmaceuticals. We can't have generic brand everything you know.
It's capitalism at its best. Never sell a person a cure once, when you can sell them medication for the rest of their lives.
Ever think you get ingrowns BECAUSE you don't know the proper use of your toes?
Learn to stand and walk properly and you won't have problems.
I'm soooooooo glad i learned how to walk properly. Haven't had an ingrown for about a year now.
Hint. Your pelvis is supposed to be centered over your knees/ankles. When you have your pelvis forward in the ridiculous fashionable way of western civ you start holding yourself up with your calves. You get big calves. You also have to mash your toes into the ground to get sufficient purchase to not fall over. Most people are in a state of constantly falling forward. So as you're applying all this pressure to your toes, trying to get them to dig into the ground, where do you think your toenails are going to go?
If it wasn't for people on welfare, then you wouldn't have people getting pissed at the fact that they're supporting these people that don't have to do anything.
This drives people into more of a capitalistic mind set, determined to show their worth, and earn their cash, to show those 'others' how it's done.
Then the more money you make the less of a percentage goes to support the welfare people.
It's all a big game. You only start playing when you realize you're being shuffled around without your knowledge.
We have awesome regeneration abilities. Unfortunately, they never get used to their full abilities because as we try and recover, we constantly give our machine crappy parts full of toxins that our body doesn't know how to deal with.
If there's any evolution that takes place, hopefully it has to do with being able to better survive off of dead organic materials laced with toxins. That, or we can stop feeding ourselves dead organic materials laced with toxins. I'm afraid that might require to much of a mental evolution for it to happen any time soon.:(
eyesight isn't genetic. You see more eyesight problems because there's increasingly bad posture in the world.
Partly disseminated through american television.
The anterior pelvic tilt which is now extremely common is the cause of the extreme rise in lower back pain.
Posterior pelvic tilt leads to the head dropping forward, intense shoulder and neck pain to keep the head up which is no longer balanced. The strain of looking through the tops of the eyes produces increased muscular strain in and around the eyes. Field of view decreases the higher up through the eye that one views the world from. The way the eye is set up, by looking up your eyes are also being withdrawn more into your head. End result? Bad eyesight.
Ever wonder why people get headaches when they start wearing glasses? Might be because you have to get used to them. That is to say, you must learn to stop using your eye muscles in a dynamic fashion as they were meant to be used. YOu must keep your eyes focused exactly the same distance all the time to see through the glasses!
Another case where scientific understanding has nothing to do with 'eye care'. Mainly because 90% of the 'eye care' experts would be out of work if they actually cared for your eyes!
Your vision has evolved. Those who examine small details will tend to extend the neck and look through the top portion of the eye.
The only thing your dad gave you was bad posture and a way of looking at the world because of that bad posture.
Correct your posture, adn you'll correct your eyesight. Unfortunately it'll clear up parts of your personality as well. You'll have to develop new routines and responses to deal with objects as opposed to details.
The worse your eyesight, the more significant the changes.
That's what leviticus is for. If you follow the bible you know what to avoid so you don't get worms.
The worms are punishment. Though, we all know that negative reinforcement is better than punishment. The church will get around to changing the bible soon.
Sex with the same gender has existed probably forever. Homosexuality only lives in western civ. No other civilization thinks that you are strictly one or the other.
That's because western civ has borderline personality disorder, with the states topping the charts:) Everything has to be opposite and mutually exclusive for them.
