It’s official: Dutch doctors do prescribe fewer antibiotics than elsewhere

The myth about Dutch doctors being unwilling to prescribe antibiotics may be true after all. According to a new survey by the OECD, the Netherlands has the lowest rate of prescribing antibiotics within the 35-country block. 

The report, entitled Health at a Glance, shows that just 10.7 people in 1,000 are prescribed antibiotics in the Netherlands at any one time. This is around half the OECD rate of 20.6 and well below league leader Greece, on 36. France, with just under 30 prescriptions per 1,000 people and Belgium with 29 complete the top three. 

The report also shows Netherlands has spent less on medicines in the last few years than many other countries, with spending down by almost 3% between 2009 and 2015, following a 0.5% rise in the preceding six years. In most other countries, spending on medicines has risen over the past 12 years. 

The national drugs bill amounts to some €360 per citizen per year, well below the EU average of €475. Top of the list is the US, where the drugs bill is almost €1,000 per person per year. 

The research also shows Dutch patients take slightly fewer medicines to reduce blood pressure than in other OECD countries, but Dutch doctors prescribe a lot more cholesterol blockers. Fewer anti-depressants are sold in the Netherlands, although the number of prescriptions has increased. 

Action 

Last week, a government advisory body said the state should take unorthodox measures if pharmaceutical firms are not prepared to ask a ‘socially acceptable price for their products in negotiations’. 

The Council for Health and Society said in a new report that if pharmaceutical firms don’t cut their prices, ‘the authorities will have to make use of the options that national and international regulations offer for making the medicine available for patients.’ 

These include allowing individual pharmacies to make the drugs themselves, allowing patients to order medicines themselves via the internet on a doctor’s prescription and giving other firms licences to produce the drugs.

"The Addictive Old Energy" + "Timing", US (3), August 12-13, 2017 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll) (Text version) - New

" .....  Is He Alone? How About You?

What kind of addiction does the old energy have for you? Are you continuing to do things that you think are absolutely correct, working with perceptions that have been given to you in an old energy that you are still wallowing in? Of course, reading this you will say, "Not me." Remember the Korean leader. He still thinks he is right and never saw it. How invested in struggle are you? I have some news. You can't do it for long. First, you lose friends. You can't claim to be one thing and be another anymore.

So let's start extending this teaching. If the darkness is so attractive, is it affecting anything else? The answer? It is absolutely affecting everything else. There's an entire industry we have told you about that will eventually fail because it has been developed in an older energy, worked in an older energy, and has no integrity. The industry is Big Pharma. We've told you that its fall is imminent and the attributes will come from the ones within it, who will expose it. When this actually happens is up to you, since this is free choice of the developing consciousness of your country. However, let's look for a moment, not at the event, but what it may then lead to.

Big Pharma is invested in an old idea that designer chemistry is the answer to healing. This idea has been prevalent for decades and many feel that it is the highest technology available. However, instead, and in the light, there starts to appear another idea entirely: The Human body has an unrealized awareness and it is actually the master healer! The Human body is designed to self-correct. So, therefore, don't put foreign chemistry into it, but instead find out how to give it elegant, specific instruction sets to heal itself. Make them high-technology instruction sets to inform it to heal itself!

This is homeopathy expanded, you might say. There are processes coming that understand that this Human body of yours is so much better than any chemist has ever realized, and the new energy is starting to expose this fact. The answer to healing is not chemistry. The answer to health and healing is by addressing the "smart part" of the Human body, giving it instructions to utilize former unknown systems that are ready to create spontaneous remission and beyond.

Remember my channelling given on the "youthing template" or the fact that you all have dormant "genesis cells" within your body (cells that have the full body blueprint and a source for very young stem cells)? These both were expositions of systems that are smart and ready to create new cells and healing in ways that will seem miraculous! But they need to be "instructed". 

Funding Will Trail for Awhile

How much money do you think is invested in the old ways? Right now, there is an industry of investment that is going to fail. So, do you think all this money will then be invested into the new methods? The answer is NO, not right away. Just like the North Korean leader's blindness, the old ways are just too addicting. "Keep it the same," they will yell. "The fall is temporary," they will say. "It always worked before, and it always will." Many investors will lose fortunes. The dysfunction is already being seen clearly. When you turn on your media at night, much of what you hear in the commercial breaks is how the chemistry didn't work! Now you get a chance to join others and sue the pharma companies for bad chemistry! You think something is beginning to break? It is. You see, they are already wallowing in something that's going to make them fail. They are advertising how broken the very system is. Both big pharma and their investors don't see the light coming yet, even though it is becoming dysfunctional before their eyes.

Major Medicine Has the Same Addiction

Think about those who have studied medicine. They study for years and years, then they take oaths that say, "Do no harm." They become fine physicians doing their very best to help humanity. Then along comes an amazing non-standard healing revelation, but it doesn't suit them because it was not what they were taught would work. In fact, many of them were told during their training that it doesn't work at all! In an older paradigm, their medical education, taught by instructors who they respected, informed them that homeopathy and all that it represented wasn't science at all. Many will still believe this, even with overwhelming new evidence that there are things they simply didn't know back then. So, expect many doctors to also reject new provable science! The reason is because they are wallowing in their addiction to what they thought was accurate and what they thought worked. It's almost a betrayal for them to even examine it! It's a betrayal of those very good teachers who told them something completely different.

Younger doctors and researchers will come along and say, "Look, I can prove this new approach to you. Just look at this, look at this proof we have. Take a day with me and look at this amazing proof!" Many physicians will say, "No thanks." Younger researchers will say, "Why not? It won't hurt you to see it!" And they'll say, "Because I don't believe it." This scenario doesn't even make sense, but it represents how addicting the old energy is. Watch for it, even within your own physicians. Human nature says that if it worked before, it's going to work again. "This is what I understand. This is what I do. Don't show me anything new because I was taught that what you have simply cannot work."

Dear ones, physics and biology discoveries will change everything, and suddenly the sun comes out [a metaphor]. Suddenly, there are new ideas. Can you imagine telling some of the greatest inventors in history to cease and desist? Could you tell the Wright brothers they were crazy? Two bicycle makers should stop trying to create powered flight? Should someone have told Louis Pasteur to stop believing in "germs"? How stupid can you be - invisible microorganisms? It's fantasy! Can you look at Tesla and say, "That's foolishness! You're going to electrocute people with that system"? Well, there are those who actually said those very things to all of them! The doubters were invested in old paradigms that were so addicting that they actually believed them. It's the same attitude as what is coming soon. So now let's switch and make it a little more personal. ...."
