There is no need to banter about the results of the 2024 Presidential election. There is plenty of room for celebration, condemnation, mourning, or conspiracy theory. If the bulk of cynical folks are correct, however, the leaders of the left and right wings of politics are working together to keep us divided and intent on us sending them all the cash value of our assets.

It is time to stop sending contributions to politicians in Washington and start sending them to your local grassroots organizations that are helping us all without paid staff, without overhead, and without internal costs. Please donate to organizations that are using funds to go directly to those who are hurting. Are there non-profits that don’t take anything off the top for overhead? YES, there are! You are reading the plea from a very successful organization. A very small one that you can help make bigger and help do more, but one with no donation money used to pay for anything but the clients projects. www.hplacharities.org/donate

You will notice and you should be aware that most contributions going to organizations to stop disease are going for research. That means it goes to pay researchers. Scientist are working hard to find solutions to prevent cancer for example. But I say to those organizations, give half of all you receive to help the individuals with the diseases. Make sure they are living as comfortable as possible while you find a cure. It may slow the process to find a cure, but those poor souls with the decease are currently going through the poor house before they die. Why not let them die in dignity while the scientific community works for a cure as fast as they can?

No need to name names, but recently I have seen more social media posts from folks who are the victims of the very problem of which I speak. These folks are begging or are selling all their assets to sustain themselves and literally still starving in their last days. In a recent tragedy, a healthcare executive was murdered to bring awareness to the injustice we in America are facing from the insurance industry. For being the richest country in the world, I hate to imagine what a third world country’s residents are facing. (I am so proud to be an American). Public healthcare or not, there is tremendous corruption in medicine as there is in politics. It starts with “Big Pharma” pushing scientists around for their benefit first, then pushing doctors to overprescribe their products. There is plenty of work to be done in this area, but killing the leaders of these corporations is not a way to protest. But maybe ostracizing their products is.

Holistic Medicine is a real practice and may reduce big pharma’s grip on society. That maybe a channel which may prove more beneficial. In closing, please know that for many the ability to survive in dignity is to have a safe place to stay. We can do it, and you can help. Happy Holidays
