Healthcare

The Goal (Less is More)

To help people maintain their health in an increasingly toxic world, starting with better mental health.


Without mental peace, the body cannot be healthy. Technology has become part of the problem as it keeps our flight / fight response on constant alert.


Less noise. Less technology. Less social media. Less need for social affirmation. Less pointless goods.


Less toxins. Less metals and plastics. Less chemicals. Less plastic packaging and processed foods. Less waste. 


THE CHALLENGE

We live in an increasingly toxic world and our health is failing. 


This toxicity is not just chemical – it also undermines our mental health. Technology, social media “likes”, fake online identities, materialism, shallow relationships, distraction and constant comparison all corrode how we think and live. The result is anxiety, weaker focus and damaged relationships.


You cannot fix physical health without first repairing mental health. They are inseparable – stress and poor mental habits undermine the body, while physical decline worsens the mind. One always drags the other down.


Our physical health is deteriorated by what we consume and what surrounds us: diet, drugs, metals, pesticides, preservatives, colours, packaging, contaminated food, water, soil and microplastics. These are embedded in modern life and difficult to avoid. 


This is compounded by the interests of big pharma and government, which often reward dependency and profit over prevention and genuine wellbeing.

Mental Health

Technology is a key driver of mental health issues: constant alerts, notifications, and the inability to unplug from it. Social media fuels comparison, pushing approval through likes and fake portrayals of life. It encourages shallow materialism while undermining the key source of happiness: real human relationships. Dating has become image-driven, feeding anxiety and the illusion of endless choice. Depth is replaced by instant gratification. Alongside this sits a spiritual deficit: people lack belief or purpose, sliding instead into nihilism and fakeness.

Toxic Environment

Microplastics and forever chemicals are now found in human blood and drinking water. They do not break down, instead building up in soil, water and the body. It comes in packaging and other everyday products. They disrupt hormones, causing infertility, weak immunity, thyroid problems and organ damage. Microplastics also carry additives that fuel inflammation and disease.


Heavy metals such as mercury, lead and aluminium enter through air, water and industry, damaging the brain, heart and nervous system. Mould is another hidden danger, thriving in damp buildings and contaminating air and surfaces, weakening immunity and triggering chronic illness. Chemtrails add further danger, spreading these chemicals and metals into the air.

Diet, Medicines, Lifestyles

Ultra-processed food - another fatal convenience - now dominates; refined starches, added sugars, seed oils and additives drive weight gain, insulin resistance, gut irritation and cravings, while displacing nutrients. Overmedication and polypharmacy raise side effects, and routine antibiotic use fuels resistance. Long hours sitting weaken heart and muscle, slow metabolism and promote weight gain, raising risks of type 2 diabetes and some cancers.

SOLUTIONS

There are many solutions for healthcare, but the key one is again Purchase Power, since how we spend can shape the behaviour of governments and corporations alike. Using the reach of social media to unite us, applying the principle of Less is More, and strengthening this with Coordinated Community Action, together with Legal and Political Activism when required, can secure better health outcomes and hold authority to account.

Solutions Explained

Restoring Mental Health

There are many solutions, but the foundation is the principle of Less is More. Cutting back on constant technology, endless alerts and shallow social media restores balance and makes space for real human relationships. In dating, the answer lies in rejecting image-driven superficiality and choosing depth over instant gratification. At the deepest level, living with less distraction and more purpose, and concerning yourself with others, confronts the spiritual deficit, replacing nihilism and fakeness with belief, authenticity and meaning.

Detoxifying your environment

The solution is, as usual, to use Purchase Power and the principle of Less is More. By rejecting products wrapped in excessive packaging and choosing companies that invest in safer materials, we can force corporations to change policy on plastics and chemical use. Boycotts of firms that rely on toxic coatings, single-use plastics and contaminated supply chains, and buycotts of those providing clean, durable alternatives, directly shift behaviour in the marketplace. At the same time, living by Less is More reduces personal exposure: fewer products, less packaging, and longer-lasting goods mean lower contact with toxins, mould, and airborne chemicals. Corporate practice and government regulation will follow consumer pressure, but it begins with how and what we choose to buy.

Less is More in diet, lifestyle, medicine

Choosing less but better is the way out. Buying fresh, simple food instead of ultra-processed products restores nutrients and cuts out additives. Drinking filtered tap water in glass or steel bottles avoids microplastics and chemical leaching. Using purchase power to support companies that value quality forces change across the supply chain. Saying no to unnecessary medicines and instead strengthening health through diet, exercise and rest reduces side effects and resistance. Replacing long hours of sitting with movement woven into daily life keeps metabolism active and lowers disease risk. Limiting screens and late light restores natural sleep, mood and focus. By consuming less and choosing more wisely, every pound spent becomes a vote for health over harm. At a policy level, we need to look harder the advertising environment: pharma, food, alochol and companies and other often dishonestly - actively or by omission - promote harmful products.
