Health leadership in the USA

A lot is being said about Donald Trump and not all of it is very supportive to say the least. Especially when it comes to his approach to deep state, kicking holy houses of the capitalist and warfare lobbies. With this tweet today he proves that actions say more than words. It is a type of health based leadership that I have not seen yet in our European cabinets.

Donald Trump on Twitter (X):

I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!

He has not even been installed yet and gets out the broom to whipe the floor in a way no one else has done before. On the contrary, the world is full of pain and trash because of politicians luring with business at the expence of our health and environment. This tweet at least is a breath of fresh air.

We all share a set of responsibilities for our sustainable natural human presence on Earth

Every human being is a unique manifestation of living nature. We consist of clustered molecules and a delicate ecosystem of millions of interacting microscopic entities that are our symbiotic life support. When we pollute our environment, we pollute ourselves, with all kinds of nasty consequences. Equally, disconnecting ourselves from our natural core values and corresponding responsibilities, produces all kinds of mental disorders. Mental disorders that produce all the problems in the human world today (competition, aggression, hunger, refugees, narcissism, suicides, negative stress, excessive consumerism, greed, social segregation, discrimination, etc).

To overcome this we need to:

  • Acknowledge our shared (inter-human and institutional) responsibility for our core natural human values: integral health (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, environmental), safety (including respect for each other and our natural environment), awareness (learning together), shared responsibility (seeing our sustainable existence as a co-creation, not a cost or financial liability) and fulfillment of our basic needs (water, air, food, warmth).
  • Create prioritized local, interdisciplinary communities to address these core natural human values together.
  • If none of the local silos takes the initiative, ask STIR for help. We can help set things up.
