I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we lift up the disease and health crisis in America before You. Just as You blessed the diet and health of Your people in Daniel 1, we pray that You would bless us and keep us healthy today.

In a piece recently published by The Wall Street Journal, RFK Jr. laid out some key policies that could make America healthier.

From The Wall Street Journal. In my speech endorsing Donald Trump, I said we need to love our kids more than we hate each other. That means coming together to address common problems, and few are more urgent than the chronic-disease crisis. Americans are becoming sicker, beset by illnesses that our medical system isn’t addressing effectively. These trends harm us, our economy and our global standing.

Among American teens, close to 30% are prediabetic. More than 18% of young adults have nonalchoholic fatty liver disease. More than 40% of adults 22 to 44 are obese, according to a 2023 study. In 2020, 77% of young adults didn’t qualify for the military based on their health scores, forcing the military to lower its standards. …

Mr. Trump has made reforming broken institutions a cornerstone of his political life. He has become the voice of countless Americans who have been let down by our elites. He could unite the country by making it his priority to make America healthy again. Here are some specific policy ideas: …

• Prohibit members of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee from making money from food or drug companies. Ninety-five percent of the members of a USDA panel charged with most recently updating nutrition guidelines had conflicts of interest. …

• Level the playing field for Americans internationally on drug costs. Today in Germany, Ozempic costs less than a tenth of what it does in the U.S. because while Berlin negotiates prices on behalf of all Germans, Washington can’t do the same. Legislators should cap drug prices so that companies can’t charge Americans substantially more than Europeans pay.

• Stop allowing beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to use their food stamps to buy soda or processed foods. Nine percent of all SNAP funding goes to sweetened drinks, according to 2011 data. It’s nonsensical for U.S. taxpayers to spend tens of billions of dollars subsidizing junk that harms the health of low-income Americans.

• Revisit pesticide and other chemical-use standards. As of 2019, the U.S. allowed 72 pesticides that the European Union bans. We also allow chemicals in food and skin care that the bloc doesn’t. Some of these chemicals are quite common to our daily lives. …

• Require nutrition classes and functional medicine in federally funded medical schools. Today, 7 out of 10 of the leading killers of Americans are chronic diseases that are preventable, sometimes through improved eating habits. Yet about 80% of medical schools don’t require a course in nutrition. …

Our current concern is meds that have serious side effects. Three people I know have suffered seizures from meds they were takin G. Does that mean these meds had no adequate testing?
I believe in les a government. If nutrition classes in schools proved health the way limiting phones in school has improved grades, then we hy are we still I ll dealing with some opinion piece of a wanna be about gender and inclusion? Health has become serious as more we is learned about effects of covid jabs and how it can be overcome. Fauci saying Gee, I was wrong is why we pray without ceasing. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Let’s get Strategy from the designer

In the above matter, and several related major issues I agree 100% with RFK Jr. He is brave, honest and highly principled. We diverge on two issues big issues, but I respect and admire him.
God’s intervention at the PA Trump rally and JFK Jr. and Trump teaming up gives me hope He is not done with America. Let’s continue to pray for true repentance, (starting with my own heart). Rejoice, only Jesus is our hope. But He does use man.
Below was submitted to the respective online campaign websites. I’m not the first to have thought of this.

SENT THIS TO BOTH, ( MINOR ONLINE Grammerly changes):
APRIL 27, 2023
TWO GREAT LEADERS JOIN FORCES: DONALD J. TRUMP/POTUS 45 (AND RIGHTFULLY 46) AND ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.
JOIN FORCES. IT IS NOT TOO LATE. TOGETHER YOU’D BE INDESTRUCTIBLE. BOTH OF YOU HAVE DONE AMAZING THINGS FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND BY DEFAULT, THE ENTIRE WORLD HAS BENEFITTED. BOTH OF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH. BOTH OF YOU HAVE UNIQUE EXPERTISE. CAN TWO KINGS RULE ONE KINGDOM? NO. BUT A PRESIDENT AND A LOYAL, EXTREMELY CAPABLE VICE-PRESIDENT CAN. OUR NATION AND THE WORLD ARE ON THE BRINK.
WE NEED SOMETHING DIFFERENT. A UNITY TICKET. TRUE UNITY, TRUE TEAMWORK. PICTURE THE HOPE, THE EXCITEMENT! WITH YOU TWO, SURROUNDED BY LOYAL, GOD FEARING, (NOT A THEOCRACY); BUT A GOD FEARING ADMINISTRATION THE U.S. WILL SURPASS ITS FORMER GREATNESS, AND FURTHER BLESS ALL THE NATIONS. SUPPORT FROM THE POPULACE WOULD BE LIKE NOTHING EVER SEEN; SPREADING ACROSS THE GLOBE.
SURE, THE “PUSH-BACK” WOULD BE DAUNTING, BUT WHAT’S THE ALTERNATIVE? LEARN MANDARIN, OR STUMBLE INTO A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST?
I’M AN “EVERYDAY” MAN AND CAN TELL YOU THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOU TWO GREAT AMERICANS TAKE SHOTS AT EACH OTHER AT SOME CONTRIVED DEBATE. “UNITE THE CLANS, UNITE US!”
I’M OF THE UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU BOTH HAVE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR. YOU’VE BOTH OVERCOME HEAVY, HEAVY TRIALS. YOU BOTH “GET IT”; THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A SPIRITUAL BATTLE. OUR FATHER WORKS IN LOVE. SATAN WORKS IN DIVISION.
WITH UTMOST RESPECT, I SUBMIT THAT THIS UNITY TICKET PROVIDES THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE DIRECTION ON ONE VITAL ISSUE. EVERY VOTER WITH A PULSE KNOWS WHAT THIS…
WITH GOOD COUNSEL, CHANGING ONE’S MIND IS A SIGN OF HUMILITY AND STRENGTH. VOTERS WILL RECOGNIZE THIS AND LOVE YOU ALL THE MORE FOR IT.

I’LL SPARE THE ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT THE DOTS OF MY NY HISTORY TO EACH OF YOURS AND CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR GOD’S WISDOM AND PROTECTION OF YOU BOTH, AND OUR NATION.
HIGHEST REGARDS,
RICHARD J. DARONCO JR.
