2002 US Total health spending and compare that to the new cases of breast cancer in the US

Posted by Roberto Enamorado on Wednesday, April 21, 2010, In : health 

I can see why doing fund raisers for benevolent causes can give people a wonderful feeling and is a wonderful idea in the intention but, there is something terribly wrong happening here.

Look at the total health spending and compare that to the new cases of breast cancer in the US. Also compare that to the Asian countries on the left. Although this problem has several factors that go unexplored in this example, I hope you can see the value in what this shows.

Cows on Drugs

By DONALD KENNEDY

Stanford, Calif.

NOW that Congress has pushed through its complicated legislation to reform the health insurance system, it could take one more simple step to protect the health of all Americans. This one wouldn’t raise any taxes or make any further changes to our health insurance system, so it could be quickly passed by Congress with an outpouring of bipartisan support. Or could it?

More than 30 years ago, when...

A Thank You Note

Posted by Roberto Enamorado on Monday, November 9, 2009, In : health 


Industrialized nations around the world have left us behind in the capacity to take care of its own citizens. Even Cuba, which is smashed by conservative media and has far less resources, has universal healthcare and has dealt with homelessness exceptionally well. This is clearly a sign of how submissive our government has become in facing corporations and when making enough effort to make a change and really work for that, it can happen even when your resources are scarce. It is not fair tha...

Start Making Real Changes

British Medical Journal 2004 - "It is Clear that environmental and lifestyle factors are key determinants of human disease-accounting for perhaps 75 percent of most cancers"

Wake up and fight the power!!! Walking a million miles for fund raising events, supporting certain NGO’s (non-governmental organizations) and NP’s (non-profits) that are poorly regulated and serve as tax shelters, career/ego boosters for board members amongst other things, in the name of for various causes? They spend...

Here goes a brief and objective bio


By: Alex C. Called an idealist, for one so cynical, turned realist, by the pseudo-empirical. Because “Power To The People” hasn’t been stressed enough, and there is no single unifying idea which could describe the thoughts behind Roberto Enamorado, here goes a brief and objective bio. An unusual kid, one who was street smart without being from the streets, A native New Yorker, who had always lived in a desirable zip code, which sharply contrasted with the visits to his parents native home in Honduras, Central America; Roberto knew the path often avoided, because out of curiosity, that path had been explored. One could wonder where Roberto’s thoughts of empowerment originated. Perhaps it was the early love for subculture, the beginning of which could be traced to the 6th grade, where he was one of the few kids who when asked about his favorite type of music, responded with I like “house music.” The interest in subcultures would continue. In the mid 90’s, it was the non commercial hip hop which caught his attention. Electronica followed and finally a taste for the eclectic was firmly established. All of the music, the clothing, the idea behind the image carried out the same message. There is a different world out there, and this world, corporations can’t seem to quite grasp. Then there were the comic books, a world of their own, bloody, violent, exaggerated anarchical and fantastical. And from these comics grew personal art, curious art, a drawing of Disney’s Thumper, superheroes, Graffiti and finally an individual style, art which is marketable, but with a distinct air of not being for sale.
