Healthcare Takes Many Forms

I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love

Healthcare takes many forms; the one thing it is not, is free.

Healthcare

The federal government is starting to build an effective way to deliver more healthcare to everyone. Now, that sounds good on the surface. However, if you look at what the healthcare industry has been delivering it may look different.

Americans seem to believe more care is better. This is such a pervasive believe. Aggressive treatment is the order of the day. From treating normal cholesterol, pre-diabetes, borderline hypertension, and every possible classroom behavior, we have become a nation of prescription pill addicts.

Medical

Medical treatment is not healthcare. The dependency on this type of care shows that we lost our way. Medical care is sick care, not healthcare. Aggressive treatment has a downside, from side effects, to projected future health events.

A recent study found that 15,000 people were projected to die eventually from the CT scans given in just a single year. This also showed that there is significant overuse of this technology.

Now, with more people having coverage the numbers will go up. People have complained of rationing and that may be true. The flip side is rationing what. Testing that is not conclusive, and may subject people to the harmful effects of both the testing and treatment.

The danger is both hospitals and drug makers will have more power to control peoples lives.

Affordable Health Insurance

Affordable health insurance is not bad in itself. No one wants an insurer to deny a claim. However, we do not get the best care by those criteria alone

Many times procedures such as CT scans and Cesarean births provide no benefit. Plus, there is potential harm from many of these procedures. Men who can survive their prostrate cancer without treatment, are treated and left incontinent and/or impotent.

Cardiac stents and bypass operations not only have side effects, but don’t always reduce heart attacks.

Having access to a Ritalin prescription is not a plus for the children involved. Being treated aggressively for type 2 diabetes is a dangerous practice, which also doesn’t change the outcome.

With more people getting this type of care medical errors will rise.

Health

Health isn’t the domain of healthcare in this country. Needless care is many times what medicine is about.

This country doesn’t ration healthcare, the citizens do. The important task of taking care of one’s health has seem to fallen into the governments hands.

The fact that seems to get lost is no one can take care of you better than yourself. The toughest job seems to be to convince people of this fact.

Healthcare will fail and has failed to deliver health, because it is not based on health. What healthcare does is look for disease, and dysfunction, and proceeds to treat the symptoms.

Besides the unnecessary treatments handed out, the necessary ones often make things worst in the long run.

Medical Dependency

Medical dependency is an offshoot of our healthcare policies. The more dependent we become, the less we take responsibility for our life.. What this nation needs is not a government takeover of our healthcare, but an individual takeover of our healthcare.

The overlooked factor that determines your future. is your lifestyle. This video says it all.
