AHRQ, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, works to enhance the quality,
safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care
in the United States. The data in this AHRQ News and
Numbers summary are taken from the Medical Expenditure
Panel Survey, a detailed source of information on the
health services used by Americans, the frequency with
which they are used, the cost of those services, and
how they are paid.
We have more medicine and health care then any
where in the world and yet rank number 37 in over
all health as a people.
It is my personal belief that we as a Nation we need
more education not medication!
I personally believe that lifestyle and dietary choice
determines the quality and quantity of life. Sickness
and disease and health and fitness is not something
that you get it is something that you do with your
daily lifestyle and dietary choices.

eliminate most if not all dis-ease off the planet.
It is based upon a scientific principle that the
human body is alkaline by design and acidic by

The key to health, energy and fitness is to
maintain the alkaline design of the body through
an alkaline lifestyle and diet.
