Hawaiians suffer the worst health profile in Hawai`i.While rates of death from heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes have decreased for non-Hawaiians, they have increased, sometimes dramatically, for Hawaiians.Below 1 year of age, the Hawaiian death rate is more than double the overall official average.Between 1 and 4 years of age, it is triple the official figure, and so on into adulthood.Just under 20 percent of the population, we suffer 75 percent of the deaths for persons less than 18 years of age.
This is just my opinion. I believe that we were cut off from the source of our life. That is the land which connects us to "I". I believe that as we proceed with palapala to take back our land our strength will come back.
Long have I been on an unhealthy track and although I'm not all healthy now, because of my thinking and brighter outlook on life, because I know that when I go my children will have land, my health is getting better and better every day.
This is just my opinion and nothing else. I don't claim to be either right or wrong. It's just what's working for me.
