We Already Solved the High Cost of Medical Care

Medical savings accounts utilizing pre-tax dollars with the control remaining with you, for the most part, on what you spend it on is the answer.  Simple and already available.   You still are free to choose your doctor.  Medical savings accounts are a great solution and being happily used by many of our citizens.  Medical savings accounts combine a high deductible hospitalization plan, for those times of acute and serious illness, with a savings account you can access as you need during the year for visits to your favorite doc.  The IRS does specify what you can use it for but even that  list could be changed by working with your legislators to increase the freedom of choice of what YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY ON.  That is a scream- I find it so hard not to scream when it comes to my life, my body, my health, my money.  How dare the government tell me what to do!!!!
Am I the only one alarmed at the pompous controllers attempting to  exert their bright ideas over my life - Washington know bests??   My personal experience is somewhat different than some as my amazing husband is an independent anti-aging  physician who relies on his ability to help people to make a living.  He does not need an insurance company to condone his practices; he left their clutches a number of years ago.   It is tough, I think he is lonely at times but I know how sound he sleeps because he does not have to comprise what he knows is right when he gives advice to his patients.  He practices what he preaches so that helps too.  Patients really admire him and I do too, he gets results because he wonders why someone has a problem; he does not hand out the latest drug for the symptom.  He investigates why the person has the problem in the first place, then treating the underlying cause of problems  brings results.  Simple.  Provide what the body needs to stay healthy or regain health OR remove the impediment to health and viola! healthy people.

So…we have this health care thing solved.  Independent physicians working with independent patients who make their own decisions of how to spend their health care dollars.  It works very well for very many.   Check out drmaulfair.com and go to our links for other doctors and at icimed.com. Check out the website of the American Physicians and Surgeons if you want the best source of independent medical thinking and to find out what really goes on with health care politics at aapsonline.org    Our website has many other links to other organizations of independent medical care. 

Join us in stopping the Mothers Act in your state and federally and get on board with your voice for independence.  We have welfare programs and disability programs for people who are destitute, the feds (rather us) could by them all medical savings accounts and save a ton of money.

Anti-aging medical care.

Anti-aging medicine is so much more than cosmetic procedures.  I venture to say many of us would not turn to cosmetic surgery to turn back the clock but would like to do something to regain our energy or return to good health or not slide toward death so fast! 
Beauty and energy and wellness come from within and if the internal needs of the body are not addressed it does not matter what cosmetic path you take, you will not be satisfied.  Many of us realize we are responsible for our own health outcomes as long as we are not harmed by bad advice.  For the next brief months we are still free to take or not the advice of physicians who care for us and we need to encourage others to think for themselves and do a bit of research when told to take pharmaceutical drugs as the answer to their health problems.

Because of the access to so many people through our medical practice Dr. Maulfair has heard it all!!  People who come to us are fed up with the lack of interest on the part of some doctors in finding out WHY they suffer from whatever.   Why? should be the biggest question, certainly posed before the take this drug and call me in the morning  lazy answer.  The body does not fail and become ill due to pharmaceutical deficiencies!!  If you have lost your edge with aging perhaps there is something you can do to adjust your lifestyle as part of the solution.

We are very fortunate at this time because we have alternative voices all across this country with research backup educating the public about health.  As baby boomers we remember when whole wheat flour was suggested and became readily available with new ways to unBetty Crocker ourselves.  We ate veggies again, we walked, we reduced chemical exposures and became aware of planetary environmental issues.  So here we are,  60 and 70 and needing good medical advice.  We are not the sheep our parents might have been, we want to know why and we want healthy answers to our difficulties.

Time to speak up to government officials and elected offiicials running amuck and wanting every pregnant mother to get a psyche evaluation through a questionaire administered by her doctor.  Every one looks mentally ill if you buy that line, it is a marketing strategy to sell drugs for depression and whatever else.  Its really sickening.  I am tired of menopause, pregnancy and all the other happenings in life made into illness – they are not.  Real illness is growing old feeling lousy, that is sick.  Lets steer this society away from “mental illness” to real solutions for feeling lousy.  Find a good anti-aging doctor and follow his non-drug treatments and win. 

Remember we were the generation that did change some things for the better-lets do it again.  Lets start talking and doing-in a really big way-for health freedom and healthy happy old age!!  Maybe we need some more marches on Washington, walking is good for us!!!

Health Care Freedom

It is time to let your legislators, both state and federal, know you intend to retain the meager freedom you currently have to select your own health care decisions.  We are losing ground when the government wants intrusive control over medical care.  Look to medicare for all.  The only treatment provided will be drugs to keep you docile so you can be housed quietly and not fight back.
Health savings accounts already exist and offer pretax investment in your own plan with a high deductible policy to cover the worst possible risks.  You have more leeway in how you are going to spend your health care dollars with these plans and they should be strengthened.  People need to determine their own choices when you are talking about intimate decisions.  We do not need the insurance companies and the feds making decisions for us.  If we do not fight for medical freedom they will determine if you meet the criteria for a procedure so there will be more wasted dollars.  We currently have disease care  not  health care.

People do not realize how the current system is stacked against health.  In the case of drug rehabilitation you have someone who has a sincere desire to get off of street drugs go to a clinic and find they are now offered only approved psyche drugs as a treatment.  Sound crazy?  It is.  It is also cheaper than actually helping the person clear the drug residues from their bodies thereby reducing the cravings and making it possible for the addict to learn new ways to live without drugs.  The choice is made by the insurance companies because it is cheaper in the short term and they answer to their stockholders-not the addicts or doctors – the stockholders.  Confirmed addicts like the system though because they can get fed and housed for a few days every once in awhile and free drugs.

We are never going to agree completely on the best health care system as a society, we will have those that do not want anything to do with independent choice and financial participation.  We do, however, need to strive for freedom and choice.   If you have noticed those with the purse strings call the shots, currently the insurance company and/or the government.  It should be you and me so we need to search out ways to retain our purse strings and therefore our freedom.  People are sick of paying health care premiums to be told what they can be used for.

If stock holders of the insurance companies knew how much money was wasted on good ole boy medical decisions they would change the system and allow the public to retain control of their own bodies.  Doctors and patients should make the decisions.  If the coming programs remove the decisions to others you had better hope your physician won on the debate team because if you are going to be cared for properly he will have to be convincing.

Take Your Life Back

I have been speechless lately.  Unable to put into words my disgust at the course  the country and its individual governmental services and commissions have taken.  We need to take back our bodies, our financial decisions, our political decisions and speak out against the current path our leaders project for us.
The Legislature is seriously considering legislation that makes it mandatory for every pregnant and new mom to be screened by doctors for mental illness.  The Congress passed this legislation.  It is now close to passing in the Senate.  Our republican congressman voted for this bill.  They want to get this done by Mothers Day;  a day we should honor our mothers and ourselves but now becomes the day to consider our mental illness and need for drugs.  Go to cchr.org for the full story and to get help to notify your senators of the dangers of drugging moms.

A Mom just called us about her daughter.  A daughter who received the three vaccinations of gardasil.  Her daughter is now quite ill with skin lesions.  She agreed to have her daughter vaccinated after THREE LETTERS FROM THE SCHOOL finally convinced her to disregard her own cautions, she has avoided the use of pharmaceuticals in her family’s health care but somehow was talked into this.  She is very upset that she permitted her values to take the back seat in this decision.  The thing that pushed her over the edge is the sell job came from the school not greedy Merck who would take the life of your daughter without blinking an eye because it is good for business.  They build the cost of lawsuits into the price of drugs and vaccinations. Man!!

MONEY, GREED AND KNOW BEST EXPERTS ARE RUINING LIVES AT A VERY FAST PACE.  RUINING FINANCIAL FUTURES AND OUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH.  That was a scream.

The Internet plays a huge roll in helping and harming us.  People of goodwill get their reputations slaughtered if they belong to a Church, if they want wellness programs in health care instead of disease programs.  If you advocate for independence and responsibility and the right to chart your own course in life you can get slaughtered with lies about your conduct.  On the other hand, the Internet provides us a voice we seldom had in the past and ways to organize and stop the nonsense and research ease.

Man, the market for magnesium must have gone way up with the increase in blood pressure lately.  Or did the market for blood pressure meds go up?
