Go to an American doctor, he or she may talk to you for a few minutes, perhaps even look you in the eyes for a moment or two (you have been sitting there freezing in a paper disposable hospital gown for over an hour and a half for your "appointment&quot , writes a script and gets paid $500 for the office visit.

No mention of changing your diet, dealing with stress, exercising during the day and exercises at night that can help you sleep. How nighttime light exposure, especially the blue light from computer screens or electronic devices ruins your sleep patterns. And that there is a free little app that can help with that.

Doctors are good with dealing with disease and trauma. But they know nothing anymore it seems about creating health.
