Whose Responsibility is Health?

Whose responsibility is health?

Is it mine? Is it the governments? Is it my community? Is it the school? Is it my job?

Its MINE!

Just like its yours, and every single person’s individual right to take care of your health.

There has been so many conflicting opinions varying from one side to the other. What it comes down to is this… Your health responsibility is yours and mine, is mine. Remove all judgment, simply take responsibility for your health.

I can appreciate how many people, who rely on the news, who firmly believe the government is the be all end all and they know what to do and why they are doing it. BUT the reality is… Each of our individual health responsibility is our own. The government, whether people want to believe or not, allows toxins, chemicals etc in our foods and drinks, body and hair care products, even feminine products which are right on and in our lady bits. The government allows this to happen.

But the government care’s about our health? That’s why the strict lock downs, pull backs of businesses, especially small business who have struggled – yet Amazon and many other large corporations are thriving due to the online ordering. Hmmm…

I understand people are getting sick, this is real and I am not a heartless human being. I am however very real and literal. I like to understand things and want them to make sense.

Given the numbers for the world, currently at a population number of 7,800,000,000 (which was reported back in March 2020 – so granted is probably higher now) and our current “case” count of 55,127,528 – 38,319,800 have “recovered”. Our of those numbers the “infection rate” is .007%. Ironically for Canada, its .00789% based on numbers today.

Why my purpose for writing this, because Moderna says its coronavirus vaccine appears to be 94.5% effective. So let me get this straight. The government is pushing mass amounts of fear into people (which that alone can cause detrimental health effects) for a virus that is affecting .007% of people in the world and are pushing a vax thats 94.5% effective… hmmmm

I am very much a numbers person for everything and this math to me, does not make sense. Do I have elderly loved ones, yup. Do I feel its fair they are being isolated a lot more than what they should, yup. Do I believe them being isolated will help their health, nope. I have lost family members to Cancer, loved ones to unfortunate accidents. I know what loss feels like, and honestly I know it more than I would like to.

The sad thing is people die everyday, many people have died for many years because of the flu. A hell of a lot more people, adults and children, die of Cancer everyday. Also obesity… which affects so much more than just being obese. Yet no fast food restaurants are being shut down. They were allowed to stay open, they were deemed essential. Has the government stepped up and forced these restaurants or food and drink manufacturers to remove toxins and harmful chemicals from their products? Not that Ive heard… if I am wrong, I would love to know so please do comment.

So ultimately whose responsibility is it for our health. Each of us. To use common sense. Turn off the news, which honestly I did not know until 2020 how deadly the news was. If you are having a good day and want to have it turned upside down and the smile removed from your face, turn on the news.

Its each of our responsibility for health, but its also each our own responsibility to use common sense. Prior to covid being announced, we all knew to wash our hands after using the washroom, before eating etc… cough into our elbow. Common sense, doesn’t seem as common anymore and it really and truly needs to be. To take control of our own health and be respectful of others by using common sense.

Tomorrow its been 3 weeks since I stopped “scrolling social media”, Ive checked in for some messages but ultimately Ive been off social media to focus on REAL LIFE.

My best advise… get in touch with YOU! Not with whatever so and so is doing or going or being. YOU. You know you and your health best. Not the government, not social media, YOU!

Whose responsibility is health? Its Mine, Its Yours. Its each of ours because every single one of us, our own health is not identical to each others either. Personally my body thrives when I am gluten free, lactose free and eat real food (not boxed pre-made or fast food). What we eat and drink as well as the products we put in and on our body… has a direct relation to our MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH.

Whose responsibility is health!? Its our job as parents to educate our kids – not just tell them what to do, but educate. Last night while making dinner, home made chicken fingers, my daughter came into the kitchen and asked what I was using, then jokingly made a blech sound lol! To which I promptly responded, honestly without even thinking… and told her the next time she ate anything fast food or candy etc to research the ingredients and then we would chat. Both of our kids happily ate our home made chicken fingers and fries – which I will pat myself on the back momentarily here because they were freaking amazing! Prob helped having my husband in the kitchen with me cooking them while I prepped them 🙂

Whose responsibility is health… I strongly encourage you to look deep within yourself and ask yourself that question and really think on it. If I had of listened to the medical professional’s years ago (most of them men at the time), I am very confident my health wouldn’t be where I am today and for that I am SO thankful! Having lost over 60lbs and over 65″ my health is thriving in ways I never experienced before, and if I can do it, anyone can! It just takes time and patience 🙂
