WANT TO CHEER UP? CLEAR UP THE FALSE DATA YOU MAY HAVE OF PREVENTIVE MEDICAL CARE.

We stand ready to help you understand what you can do to feel great.  The confusion created by common medical recommendations and medical think is harmful to your happiness!! 
Tell me, how does a stress test prevent a problem?  If you have a stress test and catheterization and blocked arteries are found, what did you prevent?  If you have a mammogram and it detects breast cancer, what did you prevent?  If you have a colonoscopy and polyps or cancer are found what did you prevent?  What does a CAT scan prevent?

True, these are all very useful and “can’t do without” medical tools in acute situations.  If you are bleeding internally you need to find out why, if you have shortness of breathe and chest pain you need to determine the cause.  Heart problem or indigestion?  If you have a lump you need to find out what it is.  If you are in a car wreck you need to find out if there are internal injuries.  No argument with that.

The problem is we do not have enough care wrecks and lumps and pains to satisfy the thirsty business of medicine.  All this high-tech equipment is very expensive and you must have people using it to make the payments.  In itself it does not prevent anything but it gets billed as preventive medicine, it is not.

TRUE PREVENTIVE MEDICINE WOULD PREVENT SOME OCCURANCE.  Anti-aging medical modalities, both diagnostic and treatment modalities, do just that.  IF you find out you have a heavy metal toxicity you can take care of it and prevent heart attacks, high blood pressure, fatigue, cancer and early aging with all its inherent problems.  It is in your hands.  When you consult with your physician about your migraines ask WHY you are having them.  Is it because your nutrient minerals are low?  Is it because you have a hormonal imbalance?  Is it because you have B vitamin deficiencies?  Is it because you have food sensitivities? WHY IS IT?  When you learn to think like that and wonder why, you will find the reason and you will improve.  I can guarantee you do not a deficiency of a pain-killers causing your migraines.

You will get better health care when you demand it.  Really, it all rests with us.  We hav organic foods in grocery stores for one reason, we asked for them.  Are we going to continue to be victims of expensive,  invasive medical care that is throwing this country into an upheaval?   Are we going to continue to be a member of the  herd of sheep big medicine has created?  I would rather take care of myself, use my pretax dollars from a health savings account as I saw fit to see the doctors who really cared to find out WHY I have a problem.  I assure you I do not have a hidden delayed psychiatric disorder ready to be discovered by some nasty underhanded “questionnaire” so I can use drugs BIG pharma makes millions from that leave me unable to make my own way because of a drugged apathy towards life.  Not me and not my friends.

There are doctors all over this country who remain independent, who use cutting edge medicine to help their patients.  There are doctors who really care.  Find one.  There are diagnostic modalities that uncover where the normal function of your body has broken down.  Preventive care is anti-aging medicine, wellness programs, and enough curiosity to wonder why something is happening.  A strong immune system is preventive medicine.  Avoiding toxins and eating organic foods, supporting local farmers and growers who are supplying clean good food, taking additional nutrients and probiotics are just some the things you can do to prevent ill health.  Exercise does improve your immune system, it is the means your body uses to circulate lymph fluid.  Fresh air —all the things you know to do to take good care of yourself—do them and you will prevent scary medical problems.  We always stand ready to help in any way we can.

SWINE FLU, YIKES! VACCINATE OR NOT

First of all my viewpoint on vaccinations is from the perspective of clinical family practice and our anti-aging medical philosophy.  I want all our patients, young and old, to research for themselves the information available on vaccinations, how  they work , and potential side effects so they can make up their own minds.  Your health is your responsibility and doctors should be trusted advisors who leave the ultimate decisions regarding your health to you.
Challenges to your immune system are actually good, mild flu can stimulate your immune system and increase your resistence to a more virulent strain of flu.  The current news is that H1N1 or the swine flu currently circulating could be losing potency and is a mild form to begin with.  It is also true that people whose immune system is weak and who have some conditions are especially susceptible to complications, including death, from contracting this flu strain.  Keep in mind, one more thing, during a “normal” winter flu season we can expect 35,000 deaths in the U.S., from common influenza.  The deaths from this current strain of swine flu through August was less than 600.  We are now experiencing a break out of this flu in our area schools.

Here is the rub.  Read for yourself the information provided by the CDC  on the fact that the manufacturers have several formulations and some will contain thimerosal as a preservative.  Multi dose vials of seasonal influenza vaccine also contain thimerosal to prevent potential contamination after the vial is opened.   Sooooooo… this fact alone should alarm you just a tad.  If you have a strong immune system and you want to protect  your kids who are otherwise in good health consider this.  Your body and the bodies of your children already have a toxic burden interrupting immune function to some extent, you are polluted with various pesticides, chemicals from food and the air and water, medical and street drugs.   Do you have a gauge of your current toxic body burden?  Some doctors will site studies that “prove” thimerosal is safe.  Mercury to scientists is the most toxic element on earth.  I know, there are different forms of mercury.  So what.  Some are simply more toxic than others.  The problem is how do we know at which point the accumulated toxic exposure pushes a person over the edge into health problems.  It is not one exposure but many you need to worry about.  So you need to weigh the benefits and risks for yourself.   Mercury is a neurotoxin and is toxic to the immune system in that it interrupts normal healthy function.  It also changes cells in your arteries and can lead to cardiovascular disease.   A past article in the Journal of Cardiology cited evidence of 22,000 times more mercury in heart muscle cells in people with a certain heart disease than others without it.

 I am not a research physician, I read the research of others, I have clinical experience dealing every day with my patients.  My patients have noticed the health of their children drastically changing after a course of childhood immunizations.  I think there is no better observer of childhood problems than their parents.  I side with parents and so do other like minded physicians.  We are bombarding our children with vaccination schedules that are rigorous and could be causing serious harm.

This is a long talk and it should be a research project for your family.  Keep in mind the first swine flu scare was 1976 and a similar vaccine campaign resulted in claims for 1.3 billion dollars for vaccine damage including paralysis.  Why would that be?  Vaccine constituents can attack the nervous system.   We wish you, as always, all the best in coming to your decision.

Government Taxes on Sugar Soft Drinks Insane

As a preview of life with big government growing more intrusive everyday the latest threat is a tax on soft drinks.Citizens can handle their own choices thanks very much. These stupid bureaucrats do not read much research and if they did they would come across the medical fact that the more fat free and sugar free foods you eat the fatter you get. Why? They create, with the chemicals added including the artificial sweeteners, nervous system excitotoxins and cravings for carbs. Please do the research and if you are overweight eat fresh foods, start cooking and stay away from processed foods. If you do that and include a variety of cold pressed and organic oils you will drop the pounds. An undernourished body hangs on to every calorie thinking it is starving to death.

This move must have been backed by the artificial sweetener giant Monsanto. You must not count on your government for factual data, they follow anyone who donates and donates big. They are bought off. Who in their right mind would let an obese group like the government and all its depts make decisions about what you should eat and drink!!

In an article by Nancy Markle commenting on the World Environmental Conference and the Multiple Sclerosis  Foundation is the warnings:  “When the temperature of aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in aspartame coverts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants).  The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people were being diagnosed with MS in error.  The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is .”

“In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as rampant as MS, especially for Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers…If you are using aspartame (NurtaSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms,shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss—you probably have aspartame DISEASE!”

THERE ARE MANY OTHER SOURCES OF THE SAME INFORMATION IF YOU LOOK.  LET YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS KNOW YOUR FEELINGS.

HEALTH CARE REFORM BY REMOVING BIAS

There are many examples of ways to save health care dollars with increasing knowledge of self-care and permitting physicians to use alternative, complementary treatments without harassment.  As long as you have big pharma in bed with the government decisions makers we are not going to get there.
You can help yourself.  A great antiaging strategy includes chelation and avoiding many common drugs and treatments.  A great book written by Dr. Joel M. Kauffman who holds his PhD in Organic Chemistry with 80 papers on chemical and medical topics, and 11 patents, he has turned to exposing medical fraud.  The following is a quote from his recent book entitled Malignant Medical Myths, you can contact Infinity Publishing to purchase, www.buybooksontheweb.com.

Here is what Dr. Kauffman had to say on page 176:  “While no one is certain of why EDTA chelation by intravenous drip works to reverse atherosclerosis, prevent cancer, lower BP, and increase walking distances by countering poor blood flow, there is little doubt that it does so when properly administered to appropriate patients.  EDTA chelation also helps diabetic ulcers to heal and it delays or eliminates the need for the drastic mainstream treatments of angioplasty, coronary bypass operations, or amputation of limbs.

One has to be shocked that investigation of the procedure advanced only by means of low-cost studies, clinical observation, word-of-mouth communication, and publications of results in lesser known journals.  Lack of patent protection for the use of EDTA and the infusion process contributed, of course, but the lack of approval of EDTA by the FDA of atherosclerosis, despite evidence of far greater benefits that those of the toxic drug Trental, must leave one gasping at the iniquities of a treatment approval system so obviously biased toward Big Pharma, and against both patients who will benefit as well as physicians who want ot provide this chelation treatment.

The low quality of the efforts to debunk EDTA chelation has been exposed.  Officially sanctioned trials were rigged.  Raw data had to be smuggled out by honest researchers in order to show some of the biases in the published articles on the trials that were debased.  Chelation is one “alternative” treatment that works.

 Discouraging sick people from undergoing an effective treatment such as EDTA chelation is despicable, even more so when dangerous procedures with limited applicability and no lasting benefit such as angioplasty or bypass surgery are recommended instead.  Because of the bias in mainstream medicine against chelation, most patients who accept it do so as a last resort after all conventional treatments have failed, although a majority would have been better off using chelation as the first treatment.  It is estimated that by the year 2000 more than a million patients had received more than 20 million intravenous infusions of EDTA.  There were no ill effects when the procedure was correctly done.  About 88% of the patients improved (Cranton, 2001, pp4, 324).“     

You can see the extensive list of references when you have the book.  This book is a consumer protection of very high quality both in its usefulness and extensive discussion of medicine as it is practiced today.  Get one and you will see the possibilities of real healthcare reform.
