STATE OF THE WORLD FORUM 2025

🕊️ THEMATIC INTRODUCTION —Human Health

🧠 The Decline of Public Health: Reclaiming Healing in a Technological Age

Dr. Jim Garrison, President of the State of the World Forum, explores a sobering paradox: as humanity achieves extraordinary technological breakthroughs, our collective health—both physical and mental—is deteriorating at an alarming rate.

Despite being one of the most technologically advanced nations, the United States ranks close to 80th in global public health. Chronic illness, mental health disorders, and lifestyle-driven disease are surging. The same systems that promise progress are undermining our well-being.

🧪 What the evidence shows:

  • U.S. public health ranks last among industrial nations
  • Anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicide are rising across all age groups
  • Two-thirds of youth believe humanity is doomed
  • Environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors pollute our food, water, and air
  • Healthcare systems prioritize symptom management over root-cause healing

Dr. Garrison argues it’s time to return to the wisdom of natural systems—honoring the regenerative capacities of the human body and mind. The Forum will investigate pathways for personal and collective healing, beyond the pharmaceutical model, and rooted in long-proven practices that align with nature.

🔗 Join the global dialogue at the State of the World Forum 2025 as we confront the silent collapse of health—and chart a regenerative path forward.
