Your Health and Health Care Reform

Now that health care reform legislation has had some time to digest let’s talk about what we can do.  There will be massive changes in the way you think about your health care and you can start now.  Some people will form membership groups and hire physicians directly.  It is a good idea.  We already have medical tourism and as odd as it may sound to some, the results have been great.  Some US physicians fly with their patients to locations where there are hospitals and the patients bring their families and undergo medical treatment while on holiday in great island locations.  This will become more familiar as people realize they are not going to be approved for some procedures they want as they age.  It already happens that people are told they cannot have procedure they want because they are too old and it isn’t covered.
Apart from those dire scenes there are active interesting things you can do now so you never need heroic medical care.  Bypass surgeries and stents and all that stainless steel will be unnecessary, unneeded if you start taking care of yourself.  Actually it really takes three major actions to insure  healthy aging.  All reducing the reasons people are ill in the first place.  Look to these basics, these fundamentals and you will thrive in your later years while avoiding government health care solutions.

Find a doctor who will help you determine your heavy metal load.  Tiny bits of lead contribute to high blood pressure and heart problems.  Get on  a preventive chelation therapy program.  That is, a comprehensive intravenous chelation program.  Make sure any doctor you go replenishes the nutrient minerals taken out with the chelation treatment.  Sadly, some doctors do not recommend the minerals and other nutrients that are essential in a proper program.  When you reduce heavy metals you eliminate the reason most heart problems are heart problems; you can visit our website to request more data.

Make sure you lower the levels of past street drugs or medical drugs you may have taken and environmental chemicals like pesticides, food additives and artificial ingredients because these can really mess you up.  A comprehensive sauna detoxification program markedly lowers the levels of these substances and prevents neurological problems like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic headaches and a host of other ailments.

Improve your digestion and detoxify your innards.  Make sure you eliminate any intestinal candidiasis infections.  There are many cleanses you can do, colonics, herbal cleanses, and just plain good eating habits will restore a faulty digestive system.  You take in the things you need for health and a good immune system through your gut so you better be in good shape.  A good digestive system protects you from bacterial infections and viruses and many other problems.  There are interesting diagnostic tests that determine the condition of your digestion and they do not involve scopes!

If you are lowering your heavy metals, reducing the chemical contaminates you carry around, and rebuilding your digestive system you just need a few more things to keep you in good shape.  High grade fresh and organic foods with no additives.  Fresh foods eaten raw or prepared properly in a smart restaurant or at home.  You need to enjoy your food and enjoy the simple things like walks in fresh air and then add the many self-help modalities you are interested in.  There are many that contribute to a very happy life indeed.  You may need bio-identical hormone replacement as you age. 

Happy lives are lived by healthy people who do not need to look to some government-run program to tell them what to do with their health concerns.  I cannot wait to look around in ten years to all my friends who are well and happy and escaping the dire ends predicted by the country’s “experts” with new ways to deliver disease care.

Blue Sky and Health "Care"

Here are some things to look forward to in the future and NOW.  You can fly to your favorite destination with a pilot on drugs.  In the effort to remove the stigma of mental health the FAA thinks it is a good idea to agree with the unions and allow pilots on mind altering drugs to fly aircraft with you on board.
The drugs allowed are zoloft, celexa, lexapro, prozac.  The side effects are minor – just things like agitation, Akathisia (severe restlessness), anxiety, bizarre dreams, confusion, delusions, emotional numbing, hallucinations, violent behavior, headache, sexual dysfunction, heart attacks, hostility, hypomania ( abnormal excitement), impotence, insomnia, loss of appetite, mania, memory lapses, nausea, panic attacks, paranoia, psychotic episodes, seizures, suicidal thoughts or behavior.  Fly the friendly skies and you to will be driven to taking these drugs.

Pilots in charge of millions of lives drugged and this is thought to be a good idea.  We must work to destigmatize mental illness!!  At the risk of others death?  Why can’t they drink?  Insane decisions by the advisors to our governmental agencies, again.  There will be more of this if government health care is going to expand to include all of us.

Newsweek just did an article on the placebo effect when taking pills for depression.  Placebo actually are better because there are no side effects.   The article cites the FACT that there is no scientific evidence linking seratonin levels to depression.  A drug used in France is said to be successful and it lowers the levels not raising them.  Junk science.  Please look into this issue and scream bloody murder to the airlines.  Check out cchr.org and research the drugs for yourself.

You could have a pilot who agrees with using a plane as a weapon under the influence of these drugs.  I wonder what Sulley would say to this.  How much do reaction times affect a pilot?  We spoke recently to a narcotics officer who said the category in traffic citations is “under the influence” and it includes alcohol AND legal AND  illegal drugs.  There are no separate stats kept.  GREAT!  Here we go again, more insane health care issues to contend with.

If Health Care is Your Right in Life then Your Doctors Are Slaves

Extreme?  Not.  In life, happiness, health and success in reaching goals is possible only when we exert personal responsibility and are free to work hard and prosper.  As parents we know when we notice the good things happening with our kids we get more good things.   When we only comment and notice the bad we get that in spades.
As a society, we will get what we reward.  This pretended kindness of universal health care sounds great and it could be achieved in a workable beneficial way as a real kindness, apart from the know best government mandates.  We are going to reward people with free health care for being there, and we are going to do that by enslaving other people.  Doctors will be pressed into service and made to help.   Other people will provide the “fuel” to make it happen and other people will be enslaved to make sure the “right” to care is delivered.  How?  Through the government getting involved in another precious human relationship.

In your exam room will be the doctor, a nurse, the government through its boards determining which treatments your doctor can offer and by the report generated and the insurance company who will “pay” for your visit.  People who can afford to go elsewhere away from the prying eyes and “free” money will do that, they will be far healthier.  If you just reflect for a moment about what your current insurance covers you will see how the expansion of this intrusive, wasteful disease care could expand and get worse.  Federal governmental boards will oversee the delivery of medical care.  If you think medicaid and medicare are good programs then you will enjoy the changes.  We do not.

Reforms are needed.  The private sector needs to do more so the government can go on recess and leave us alone.   We need to be able to have coverage for catastrophic events and health conditions not currently helped due to the insurance company with the money calling the shots.  He who has the bucks makes the rules.

How about this.  Free enterprise at work in health care.  We have not enjoyed that for many decades.  A doctor friend of ours said once that if doctors were made to talk with patients about money the health care cost would go down.  Instantly. True.  When doctors and their staff collect the funds they charge the costs stay down.   We know many doctors who spend their time and help in free clinics.  We know dollar for dollar tax relief for medical expenses would help.  We know companies who self insure save health care dollars, that is why they do it.  We know people will spend money on doctors who help them and will not go to doctors who don’t.   We know health savings accounts are popular and helpful when understood.  We know buying an insurance policy for catastrophic care is affordable when combined with health savings accounts, or, if you are a twenty something, you can pay out-of-pocket for infrequent care and save yourself some bucks.

We also know the simple truths in life, you will see more of what you reward with your time, money and attention.  So if you want more poverty make sure you pay people to be idle.  Make it possible for people to have the bare minimums in life and they will, they will remain in the bare minimums.  Reward health and you will get health.  Reward initiative and you will get more innovation and more activity.  Open up the health care marketplace for patients and doctors and stand back and watch it improve.  People we talk to want control over their lives and over their bodies.  When that is the way of life there are more funds for temporary charity to help out a fellow citizen who has fallen on bad times.  The generosity of happy people who are doing well cannot be denied. 

Come and create a great society apart from an oppressive government.  Let us just help each other.  Let us just make our own way.  Let’s go!  Coleen

Chelation Therapy for Health

Our interest in our own health and doing something about it is the real health care reform.  Understanding the role inflammation and its causes in the development of problems in aging is something Dr. M has devoted his life’s work to.   When you wonder why something is happening you can often find out.  That curious attitude helps in the practice of medicine. 
Dr. M changed a number of years back – like 40- he wanted to help people avoid the problems of aging and the problems of chronic disease.   No quarrel with common medical care he just noticed drugs and surgery are not the answer to chronic conditions.  The idea that you watch someone’s circulatory problems over time until they become bad enough to warrant surgery didn’t sit well with him.  Why not take proactive preventive actions to stop the progression or slow the progress or change the course of the disease altogether.

He uses chelation therapy to help people eliminate heavy metals, he does not use it because he is contrary.  The clinical results speak for themselves.  Our patients regain their energy levels  and we have clinical results and test results that show the changes.  They off load a major contributing factor causing inflammation and circulatory problems, diabetes, arthritis and generally poor energy output.  Did you know that the heart muscle of people with cardiomyopathy has shown levels of antimony 12,000 times higher than control subjects in a study using biopsy of heart muscle.  The same study showed 22,000 time the level of mercury than controls.   Concentrations of cadmium in the air of 28 cities for which data are available show a marked correlation with death rates from hypertension and arteriosclerotic heart disease.

There are over 4,300 articles in the medical literature connecting small amounts of lead in the body and the development of high blood pressure.    So when you are looking at prevention you need to include treatments because it is not the measure of blood pressure that prevents anything, it is wondering why it is high and doing something to prevent it getting higher and going within normal range.  Lead is not tested with a blood test to look at the serum levels, it needs to be tested a different way as the body removes it from the blood stream as fast as it can.  That’s right,  your body knows more than some doctors.  Your body sequesters the lead to get it out of the way.

We are talking about real health care reform everyday around here and it is a lot of fun!!  Soon.  Coleen
