Is the doctor in, I think not. Private practice has changed over the years. Now, it seems to be at an all time low. The yearly exam which all insurance companies seem to want you to get has become nothing more then a referral system. The doctor has become the pez machine of the pharmaceutical companies.

The Exam

The exam most people go for each year can be done as well at a CVS. To obtain weight, blood pressure, heart rate and temperature reading you may have to wait two hours. The stethoscope is use for all of 2 minutes.

Many people have a scale and blood pressure cuff that also measures heart rate at home. Many know what the numbers mean, and really don’t have to wait hours see them. Some of the time is used on an appointment is for to share any troubling symptoms. From that you will probably get some referrals for additional tests. Then the staff or doctor will suggest you take your yearly flu shot and check if you are up-to-date on some vaccines.

This is not supposed to be urgent care, but preventive. The troubling part is it like being on a merry-go-round that goes in an endless circle. It is a round of tests, vaccines, and medication that keeps you spinning without a safe landing. Treating symptoms by catching a condition early keeps you depending on tablets, capsules or powders. To get healthy is your choice; the optimal ranges of glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol aren’t in a pill.

Lifestyle

What people need a lifestyle make over, which will eliminate most of their troubling symptoms. As we assert control over our lives the doctor will be within us. That is the way to protect your body the leading cause of decline is to keep clear of pharmaceutical mindset.

To protect our health it is urgent that we obtain the latest information on defensive and offensive ways of living. What has happened is the doctor is out and a hands on approach from him is going down the drain. The motto seems to be send the patient on to every specialist, who in turn can use all diagnostic tools at his disposal. Then give the patient an amply supply of drugs to address the possible condition.

What the current breed of doctor don’t seem to realize is the latest pharmaceutical formula doesn’t address the cause, just the symptom. Being compliant will not overhaul your health. It may help manage symptoms until you overhaul your life.

Interesting Take on The Way Many Doctor’s Think

Health care in America doesn’t support health. Health care has adopted a very clear way of delivering wellness. It bypasses Mother Nature and goes to work interfering with natural healing.

Scary Health Care

There is an updated joint guideline by the American Society of Hematology (ASH) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) about the appropriate use of erythropiesis- stimulating agents (ESAs), a class of drugs that stimulate the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, to treat cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia. While the guideline cautions that ESAs are associated with shorter survival and increased risk of thromboembolism-blood clots-and tumor progression, it also recognizes their major benefit of reducing the need for red blood cell transfusions, which can potentially cause serious infections and adverse reactions in the immune system.

Enough said lets try something different, which will make a substantial impact on the condition. It is becoming increasingly clear that the battle is being fought on the wrong front, with the wrong weapons, and the wrong idea of what the enemy looks like.

What medicine does is try to reinvent the wheel. They are engaging a battle with a condition they don’t even understand. Without the answers to a few basic questions you can’t actually expect to come up with productive solutions. Healing is not a matter of going to war, but identifying and rectifying a condition. You have to support the immune system not destroy it.

It seems like the health care industry is on autopilot, they aren’t transformers of health, but Kamikazes. They are bent on destruction of a tumor at any costs, to the point of putting the patient in great jeopardy.

Healing is an Amazing Journey

What you do right now makes tomorrow. Most health problems are what you did before. Understanding this simple concept eludes the medical community.

To feel better now you have to be and act better now. Instead of trying to kill the messenger, you balance your body back to health.

What the medical profession doesn’t strive for is giving you the best quality and quantity of life. They don’t know how to. What you inhale, ingest, and absorb are every bit a part of the picture.

The common co-defendants are what is on your dinner plate, prescriptions, air pollution, stress level, and chemical exposure. So chemo isn’t detoxification it is a powerful response to a weaken condition. Now it will add discomfort, constipation, depression, memory loss, nausea, hair loss, and a host of other problems. Long lasting health, vitality and stamina are not a chemo formula away.       

Drugs are a prescription for disaster for both the patient and the planet.  In Worcester, Mass the Drug Enforcement Administration coordinated a one day effort to clean out the areas medicine cabinets. Vicodin, Percocct, and Lorazapam, which are taken for anxiety, were among the drugs collected with other medications that had been sitting in people’s bathrooms for decades.

People brought bags of pills including types of powerful painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs. This program was coordinated by the Drug Enforcement Administration which is coordinating the program nation wide. The goal was to empty homes of legal, but dangerous drugs that the authorities say are driving addiction and crime around the country.

The collected drugs will be incinerated instead of flushed down the toilets, which can release them into the water way. Think of it this way tap water may hold the key to pain and anxiety relief.

Medicine is What Ails You

Medicine is what ails you, because pharmacology is the market driver of health care. Embracing this new approach to health is causing the business landscape to prosper, while hampering our health, and destroying our natural environment. The environment impact will linger on for generations.

Avoiding medication means the solution to health care has to take a 360 degree turn. Fuzzy thinking and greed has brought us to this point. The human body has an untapped potential for healing, and every drug used on a long term basis dampers that possibility.

Prescription Revolution

The prescription revolution means we have to thing outside the bottle, and explore the world of natural healing. Medicine is an alarmist; all it does is tout the dangers of almost everything. Our systems are always in a state of flux. Blood pressure changes by the hour, sugar may spike, an ache or pain may pop up. What we have to do is connect each symptom to what we are doing and then gear up a plan for change. There are bumps and dips in our health, however taking pills make it harder for our systems to go up or down on their own.

Green and natural living is the foundation for true health. Health is an inside job, pills may have ingenious advertising to back them up, but pills can’t clear the way for optimal health.
