We are collectively CODEPENDENT in our relationship with a disordered and addicted medical system (1)
If the American medical system were a person, it would be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, gambling addiction, drug addiction, and antisocial personality disorder.
All of us have an intimate relationship with a narcissistic antisocial gambler addict. We each pay to support this antisocial addict with our attention, praise, and money. We help this addict ignore his problems and deny his errors. When he wants more money to fluff his ego and pay for more drugs, we fork it over with a blank check; by so doing, we empower his irresponsibility and encourage more recklessness, and we feed the same drug addiction that we know is hurting everyone involved. We know that he uses bullying and bribing behavior to force and extort other people to give him more money to support his addictions, but we turn a blind eye and deaf ear to these problems and allow his antisocial behavior to continue. At every opportunity, we sadly yet consistently empower an abusive and dysfunctional dynamic, then we lie to ourselves and everyone else by calling it “healthcare” which is our social surrogate for love.
The American medical system is entwined with the pharmaceutical industry and also entwined at the very core of our honorable and noble political system which is the very heart of American identity. American medicine does not lead healthcare but is rather led by the drug industry and pushes whatever products they have available—we can very reasonably state that the American medical system has a drug addiction problem. The American medical system also likes to take risks with other people’s money and other peoples lives/assets and thus can be said to have a gambling problem, for which it never repays its debts.
Politicians as representatives of the national government should be one or more levels above the industries which they supposedly regulate; but the truth is that these industries have captured our politicians and indeed the entire political system. The American drug-medical system bullies politicians into forking over cash payments, somewhat similar to the extortion leveraged by a local bully against neighborhood residents and shopkeepers.

The dysfunction of the American medical system is noted in its arrogance, haughtiness, incessant sense of entitlement, its inability to admit its errors and its narcissistic ego-driven need for perpetual adoration.

We feed this monster and its addictions by failing to enforce any accountability while also giving the beast plenty of free cash to feed its ego, entitlement, gambling addictions, and drug addictions.
The same money that it uses to bribe politicians in order to receive more money results in a vicious forward-feeding cycle of ego-money-power… leading to more ego, money, and power.
“In sociology, ‘codependency’ is a model that explains imbalanced relationships where one person enables another person's self-destructive behavior such as addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement.”
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codependency
Codependency describes a relationship with a person/entity that is disordered, addicted, or otherwise dependent on substances or dysfunctional behavior patterns; in essence, we share their addiction/dysfunction even if we are one person removed from it.
The other person/entity is dependent/addicted to certain drugs or behaviors, and by maintaining an intimate relationship with them, we are “co-addicted” or “co-disordered” because we are forced to participate in the addictive or dysfunctional or antisocial behavior.
Three common examples of co-dependent relationships:
Alcoholism, drug/chemical addiction (chemical dependency): If we are in love with someone who is alcoholic —someone who is dependent on alcohol— then we share their addiction and are codependent on their alcohol habit. We compromise our standards and hurt ourselves by adapting to, allowing and ultimately empowering their addiction and dysfunction; the situation isn’t that one person is healthy and the other person is addicted — both people demonstrate dysfunction, maladaptation, poor reasoning, and compromise in order to support the addiction and its behaviors, rituals, injuries, costs and denials. We have to share in and support the addiction in order to maintain the relationship: we deny and overlook the consequences of the addiction, we help them manage the problems they cause by their own addiction. At the very least, we give them time and sometimes we give them even more support (eg., excuses, money) for their addiction. The day that we stop participating in our support of their addiction is the day that the relationship either ends (if they refuse to relinquish their addiction) or has the possibility to become positively transformative as both people acknowledge their dysfunctional behavior and then take action to improve. As a society, we are guilty of empowering medicine’s addiction to drugs and vaccines and their dysfunctional relationship with the pharmaceutical industry; none of us want a healthcare system dominated by drugs and vaccines and other risky and expensive interventions but we keep paying for and directly supporting such a system.
Gambling addiction (risk dependency): If a person loves a gambler, the only way they can maintain that relationship is by either passively or actively supporting the gambling and the risks, expenses, ups and downs that go with it. The gambler is dependent on the gambling, and their supporter/spouse is codependent on that same addiction. The only way to maintain a relationship with someone who has an addiction is to adapt to their addiction, and when we adapt we gain a sense of mastery and comfort; to the extent that we enjoy and benefit from that mastery and comfort, we need and are entangled in their addiction and therefore we subconsciously seek to perpetrate it.
Narcissism and personality/character disorders (manipulation/control dependency): To maintain a relationship with someone who is a narcissist or otherwise personality/character disordered, we have to sacrifice at least some of our needs, boundaries and perspectives in order to maintain what we know to be a dysfunctional relationship with a dysfunctional person. Neither you nor I can ever be complete and whole within ourselves or in the eyes of the other person as long as we maintain an intimate relationship with a narcissist or someone who has a personality disorder.

Are you back in the states to say?
I would imagine that there are significant factions that are working to undermine the dissemination your message.
Glad you are back - I had a problem with facebook after I had mentioned and reported some of the information that you had been sharing. They basically said I was not me and was asking to verify my location in Baton Rouge, and then they decided I could no longer advertise. But I kept the accounts open since I didn't close them and I still have a few people that pay attention. I did make a short 12 1/2 minute information video on vitamin D based on the 12 hour plus information class was that you had done for Biotics they didn't seem to be particularly concerned one way or another, and that's despite the fact I start off mentioning, you and the source for all of the information I went over.
