My parents had no insurance when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. But my mom got "treated" nonetheless - surgery followed by chemotherapy, each round of which was more devastating than the last.The doctors essentially tortured her for a year and a half and, after her body couldn't take it anymore, said "well, we can't do anything for her, so here's the number for hospice, it won't be long now". And it wasn't.
Fuck insurance. If I knew then what I know now, my mother would have been put on a raw food diet and kept as far away from a hospital as possible.
Insurance had absolutely nothing to do with my mom's outcome.

obviously you've never had a child with an ear infection, asthma, or heaven forbid pneumonia - and access to NO INSURANCE outside of medicaid/medicare....,
I haven't either - thank God - but my attitude towards it reflects a "there but for the grace of God go I" empathy with what's really real, rather than the dissociated and propagandistic signal noise coming out of Bel-Aire - which disingenuously and cunningly refuses to address the topic honestly in terms of public insurance rather than the bombastic National Healthcare/State Managed Medical Monopoly tricknology you lifted straight out of the teabagger playbook...,
have you no shame?!?!
Nah man. No child with ear infections, asthma or pneumonia.
But it wasn't because of the "Grace of God."
It's because we fed our babies they way babies were meant to be fed. With breast milk.
Breastfed kids get exponentially fewer ear infections than children fed Plantation Formula.
Which isn't something a Nationally Managed Medical Monopoly is going to convey to parents.
Which is an example of why we need to stay the fuck away from them.
My wife and I employed our educations and raised our children as far from the industrial medical system as possible.
When corporations like Nestle saw an opportunity for profit they pushed some shit called Formula on Plantation Negros and Plantation Crackas and got mothers to replace a million years of breastmilk with garbage.
A Few decades later we are this sickest people in history.

DV you are taking it a bit far. I was breast fed and so were all my siblings until almost one and a half or so. Every single one of us had health challenges but I was the worst. My Mother basically fed us like vegans with liver here and there or chicken every now and then but for the most part, we were on soy milk, breast milk and whole grains. I caught pneumonia a couple of times as a child. Antibiotics and good healthcare saved my life.
I also got a heart operation as a toddler because I was born with a minor heart defect. If I would not have received this surgery, I likely would have died during childbirth or some physically exhausting task.
So you cannot write off alopathic medicine and its usefulness simply because your kids have been healthy. If one of them caught a bacterial pneumonia (which happens during flu season sometimes) how would you treat the pneumonia?
Fruits, nuts and veggies in addition to the whole grains etc.
It's that soy milk that did you in Mahndisa. That shit is poison.
Good post M. You make a good point.
There are some things in allopathic medicine that are valuable.
There are quite a few things that are flat out dangerous and quite silly.
But it is a fact that breast fed children get fewer ear infections than other children.
Which begs the question why?
Without getting to the chemical minutiae of breast milk, let us say nature / God designed the ideal "formula" for babies ... not Nestle.
You ask about "catching" bacterial pneumonia.
I think the notion of "catching" a disease is a mematic byproduct of the Western "Germ Theory of Disease".
=>
In reality, if a child develops measles, whooping cough, chicken pox or any of the other common childhood infections, it is not because of germs (bacteria and viruses) but because of the toxic conditions of the body, a condition referred to as Toxaemia.
There are many causes of Toxaemia.
In America the most common are over-eating processed GMO foods, and constantly consuming chemical pollutants.
In third world countries the causes are more related to malnourishment, impure water and poor sanitation.
Because vaccination does nothing to reduce or eliminate the toxic conditions of the body out of which childhood infections arise, parents seeking natural health instead of drugs for their children, regard this practice as totally futile for it bears no relation to the root causes of childhood infection.
II: I beg to differ on the soy milk. When I was born in the 1970's there was very little if any GMO food on the market. My mother MADE her own soymilk in the blender! Although I cannot stand soy milk now, apparently we did well with it because none of us could tolerate milk or milk products back then. It could be that the homogenized milk caused problems, because I drink GMO free milk and have no issues with it.
DV you talk about toxemia, which is debatable. However, you didn't address the heart issue. My heart condition is what exacerbated the pneumonia I caught as a baby.
Like I said, before weaning we were all breast fed. I was simply a sickly child. The most reasonable thing you've said is that it could have been related to the vaccination schedule. That seems more likely.
I've discontinued vaccs for my son for the moment. He only received the shots up to six months and after that, I stopped them. He (knock on wood) is quite robust and far healthier than any of us were as babies. He is healthier than my husband as a baby and is a ball of energy.
I feed him fresh veggies from the garden, certified organic polenta, fruit and meat. He loves chicken and steak and is doing well.
I think a balance in diet AS WELL as not injecting your kid with lots of toxins keeps them healthy.
That's beautiful Mahndisa. Your son is a lucky young man. Look at the care and thought his mother is putting into his diet. Which is the most important thing.
There is no perfect diet. There are toxins in everything. Everyone has to navigate differently.
But the important thing is that we are taking responsibility for what we put into our bodies ... as opposed to the status quo Plantation Negro who just takes the corporation / government's word for it when it comes to food and drugs.
Regarding the earlier post.
I didn't mean to imply breastfeeding could cure heart ailments. Thank God the medical doctors were able to help heal you.
BTW. What is debatable about toxemia?
