Summary

For years I’ve been complaining about the state of my country’s health care—I’m sure you’ve heard me loud and clear. The lack of success America’s current system has in helping people achieve, maintain, or regain good health is literally sickening. The U.S. health system is ranked as having the highest cost (in 2011 $8,508 per person was spent on health care) and the lowest performance (a 2014 new Commonwealth Fund report ranked the U.S. health system last among 11 industrialized nations).

The U.S. health care system is broken, and our current efforts to fix it are only making things worse. But don’t despair just yet. Authors Doug McGuff, MD, and Robert Murphy, PhD, combine their expertise in medicine and economics in Primal Blueprint Publishing’s newest release: The Primal Prescription.

pour in daily echoing the same, it seems that vision is coming to fruition. Primal living is

proving itself more valuable than anything that can be bottled, pilled, or scribbled on a doctor's

prescription pad. Across the globe, primal adherents

are reclaiming not only their health, but their independence from pharmaceutical and medical shackles,

and the number of those system expats is growing. It's tempting to kick up our heels and declare

the battle preemptively won, but let's face it.

Sometimes life throws curveballs, including the ones that land you in the ER. Freak accidents abound.

Arms and legs break. Diseases emerge from genetic mutations or prior decades of questionable habits.

Stupid mistakes happen, even if they aren't our own.
