"prevention is better than cure."!
Question: "prevention is better than cure!."
to what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I agree with the statement in principle!. But two views should be considered!.!.!.!.
1!. does the cost of the cure outweigh the cost of prevention!? especially with people with pre-existing conditions!? This was the question raised recently in a similar discussion with regards to insurance company coverages!. And when you look at the number of people and all the medicines that people take to help lets say reduce the liklihood of dying after a heart attack and their expected lifespan versus the number of people who have heart attacks and require prolonged recoveries, prevention isn't cheaper and doesn't do a great job at preventing death!. More importantly, the quality of life for both groups is markedly changed!.
2!. the other view of prevention would be lifelong healthy habits that potentially decrease disease states!.!.!. ie less Type II diabetes, cornary artery disease, high blood pressure, etc!. With this view, I assuredly agree with prevention being better than the cure b/c it simply reduces the need for medical interventions across the board!.
Unfortunately, it is a more complex topic than is appropriate for this forum, but it was a good question to be asked!.!.!. and hopefully there will be some introspective answers!.

Prevention is definatly better than cure!.
reasons!.
1!. It saves you the trouble of having a problem in the 1st place!.
2!. It saves cost of the cure that you would have to take because of the problem!.
3!. It also saves you the time that would be lost because of the problem and then the cure!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

This might sound a bit stupid, but I was just thinking about this very topic this afternoon!.
Specifically, I was thinking that all the Chinese and Thai people I know are familiar with certain massage techniques, pressure points, etc, etc!. They're just normal people with no special training, but if I have a back complaint or a cold or something, they'll just rub here, crack there and send you on your merry way!. I was thinking if the "West" was a little less ignorant and a little more aware of how our bodies really worked then we would all be better off!.
My brother, for example, suffered terrible migraines and got prescribed lots of different medications at a young age!. Then one day it just happened that he saw a Chinese GP instead of the normal GP, and this guy cracked his neck and he was cured!.
I suffered a heap of different things, but the moment I took up yoga I've never been sick since!.
In the West we eat crud, we live ridiculous sedentary, stressful lives and we get sick!. Of course prevention is better - we just have to be educated and I think the drug companies have a stop-gap, but not ultimate answer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
