In his 1996 book The Electric Universe, David Elliott says, "Never before has there been so much talk about health. Never before have people been so unhealthy." Today, the sicker we are as a society, the more money the medical industry makes, including the doctors, hospitals, and drug companies that compose this system. To put it plainly, our health care system gains wealth and power from sickness rather than from health. This has caused the health care system to spin out of control, allowing the system's "authorities" to keep us in the dark on the real causes of disease and how to prevent them or effectively cure them.
We now live in a world of human-made diseases. During the early part of the past century the four main causes of death were all infectious diseases such as pneumonia and tuberculosis. Due to technological advancements in diagnosing and as a result of more advanced scientific understanding of how disease microorganisms spread, there has been a decrease in the number of people perishing from infectious disease. So today, although we are living longer, we are also getting sick and dying of degenerative "lifestyle diseases" and various environmental factors, and this includes children as well as adults. The American Cancer Society reports that in the United States in 2007, approximately 10,400 children under the age of fifteen were diagnosed with cancer, and about 1,545 children will die from this disease, making cancer the leading cause of disease-caused death among US. children between the ages of one and fourteen.
