About Health...

"There is more to life than money" - we recall former New Zealand Green MP Rod Donald making that statement during an election debate. Tragically, Rod died during 2005 but his reminder that life comprises more than just dollars and cents needs vigorous restatement -especially in New Zealand!

Of course, it may seem bizarre that a website devoted to wealth preservation and honest money should find common cause with the sentiments expressed above - but we offer no apologies. New Zealand, cynically encouraged by the political establishment and other vested interests, now seems virtually obsessed with money and immediate personal consumption. Therein lies the problem. By reducing the whole 'raison detre' for human existence to the 'business of nominal dollars' - which for most Kiwis means "how much is my house worth?" - real wealth creation is ignored!

At nzgold we take a very different view: "wealth begins with health". Two things are primarily responsible for our contrarian and controversial thoughts. Firstly, we have been able to draw on our understanding of human psychology & psychiatry that emerges from both academic study and practical clinical involvement. This is complimented by very extensive experience in 'high tech' aspects of the medical industry. With decades of involvement in the business of health our website emerges at a time when this one issue has the potential to overwhelm counties - from the small like New Zealand to the vast like the United States. Secondly, we recognise that so much of the debt driven consumption that now passes for wealth is actually destroying our mental and physical well-being.

Make no mistake! The sheer magnitude of current and future health care liabilities means that governments will probably have to tax and borrow outrageously to try and fulfill their electoral promises. That is potentially very bad news for wealth defined by paper dollars since history suggests those debts will ultimately be repudiated through hyperinflation. Are you holding gold?

At nzgold we cannot simply divine wellbeing for our readers - we leave such claims to the vanity of politicians. Yet we can, hopefully, offer worthwhile comment, research, and thought on your greatest asset - your health!
