Obama Care Prep Talk (Part 1)


A lot of the Affordable Care Act goes into effect in 2014. The Affordable Care Act is designed to finance health care, but that does not mean there will be efficient health care.

Financing health care does not mean providing health care, either. Nor, will it provide the health care results you want. Life style will always trump health care.

The current health care system is a sick care system. In fact, it pays for sick care procedures that don’t really get you better.

Many medical doctors are not able to help you get well because medicine is run by pharmaceutical lobbies that have tied the doctors’ hands. If you haven’t seen the documentary “Doctored,” I recommend you watch it.

As a chiropractor, I have a very different definition of health and how one goes about obtaining and maintaining health.

Chiropractic is not medical. It is not an intervention for symptoms and sickness. Chiropractic is a proactive approach to maintaining your body’s survival system: the nervous system.

Your nervous system is the first line of defense to living and healing. The pharmaceutical approach is toxic and damaging to the nervous system. We’ve always known that.

Toxic health care will be available through Obama-Care, but do you really want that?

Consider this:
Many people may not be utilizing chiropractic enough to really health-build. You may not realize the unique benefits chiropractic provides.

Mainstream health care may not be available as it is now, and it may no longer be desirable to you……

As always, I am here to take that journey with you. Read more in next month’s issue on this blog.

Turning Away Obese Patients (Customers) (Clients)


This is an interesting article in Natural News about Florida doctors turning away obese women refusing to take them on as clients.

You can read it here.

Here's my take on it.

1. It's bound to happen. Obesity makes it hard to pin point causes of health problems. Doctors who are sincerely trying to help someone can be accused unfairly for missing a disease.

2. The article specifically states there is a high risk of complications and death when an obese person undergoes surgery. The cost goes up for additional professional training, additional surgical supplies, equipment, etc.

3. Fat tissue synthesizes inflammation which damages organs. Fat tissue pumps out painful inflammation. Taking a pain pill is not appropriate treatment, it just covers it up.

4. It has been surveyed that most doctors do not address obesity with their patients probably because it is now considered a disability that needs protection under the law. Make a comment related to weight and a lawsuit could follow.

5. The average doctor is not a weight loss specialist and probably prefers to refer their patients to those who are specialists.

6. I used the words client and customer because doctors are also in business. Hospitals cannot turn away someone during an emergency, however doctors have every right to choose who they will work with. Patient may be a misleading term. The person seeking health care is still a customer. The doctor sells a service. The doctor can't sell everything. Doctors are not Walmart! Doctors do not sell cures either. Doctors provide a service. They serve. But the customer also has a responsibility to work on his or her personal health. If they lack knowledge, they need to find knowledge.

7. Obesity may be seen as an addiction. The addict has to make the decision to detox and get under continued treatment.

Just my views. This shows a serious problem with health care that won't be solved by changing the way we pay for health care (health care reform). I hate to see people suffer. We all do. The most important step we can take is in our own self care habits.

Chiropractic is not a treatment. It is a mind-set.

Care is not Fair....So Beware

hnIt is illegal in every U.S. state for a medical doctor to recommend any vitamin, nutrient or food for the prevention or treatment of any disease. Doing so can cause a doctor to have his medical license permanently revoked.

Learn more from Mike Adams' article


What do you think about that? We've heard of local medical doctors who had their careers destroyed because other medical professionals turned them in for talking about natural means for health.

So, don't ask a medical doctor for nutrition advice. It's that simple.

So, how does Dr. Oz get away with it? He talks about "general health." Or does he? You be the judge.

A Story of Three Persecutions READ MORE HERE

The following is directly quoted from www.alternativecancer.us. I give them full recognition for this information.

In 1994 New York alternative healthcare advocates helped pass the Alternative Medical Practice Act designed to help guarantee that people would have access to alternative medical doctors by barring the State of New York from taking away the licenses of Alternative Medical Doctors just because they practiced alternative or non conventional medicine. Despite the passing of this legislation, the Medical Board bureaucrats who found a way to avoid the intent of the law. Alternative medical doctors were once again targeted and eliminated from medicine. Here are three examples:

■Dr. Jennifer Daniels (I briefly volunteered in her office to help her organize her records for her defense. She had files of testimonials praising her.)
■Dr. Rebecca Carley
■Dr. Serafina Corsello


Dr. Jennifer Daniels, MD of Syracuse was brought up on charges after successfully treating a patient with diabetes using only diet and exercise. In spite of a highly publicized study unveiled by the Secretary of Health & Human Services proving that diet and exercise was more effective than drug treatment. Eventually Dr. Daniels got her license back after it was suspended for two years, but the cost was devastating. The doctor was financially depleted and no medical employer was willing to hire her despite impeccable educational & medical credentials(Harvard BA, University of Pennsylvania MD). She is planning on leaving the country And that is a successful case.

Dr. Rebecca Carley, MD from Hicksville, Long Island successfully pioneered a treatment to reverse the injuries from vaccines such as autism and autism spectrum disorders, which have been growing. Dr. Carley has a public access cable TV show "What's Ailing America; Dr. Carley Responds" in which she was able to reach a larger audience warning of the potential dangers of vaccines and other political issues. Dr. Carley's license was suspended in July 2003. The suspension was solely on the basis of her "psychological impairment". This was an arbitrary attempt to control her speech, both medical and political. Dr. Carley's has been doing nutritional and lifestyle counseling, but is facing severe financial hardship.

Dr. Serafina Corsello, MD was one of the best known alternative practitioners. She was on the first advisory commission advising the Office of Alternative Medicine of the NIH in 1992. She published a book "The Ageless Woman", had two large medical centers one in midtown Manhattan and the other in Huntington, Long Island. She has and continues to lecture all over the country and in many parts of the world on nutrition and women's health. Charges were brought against her for too much testing, use of vitamin therapy, Chelation therapy and diagnosing lead toxicity. Unfortunately her lawyer filed the answer to the charges too late and the state deemed that she admitted to all the charges. Her medical license was revoked.


Write Not Practice

To avoid such prosecution, doctors who have realized that alternatives are better than pharmaceuticals, often write books or newsletters about alternative treatments. This allows these doctors do what they always wanted: help people conquer their health challenges and keep them safe. These doctors have realized that alternative treatments are easy enough for patients to self-administer as long as the patient is educated regarding possible side effects.
----------------------------------
Chiropractors are nutritional counselors under their New York State licenses. They recommend nutrition for health maintenance. Other health consultants also can provide nutritional counseling in NYS as long as they do not call themselves certified nutritionists or dieticians.

Thankfully, there are options for the consumer for safe, natural health care. It takes a personal commitment and you can't rely on insurance. Read here how unethical medical billing has pospered allowing a medical monopoly in the health care market place to block people from common sense health care.

If you read about Melinna Giannini's experience, you will see how insurance will pay $15,000 for care that does not work, but deny someone a $500 solution. There is nothing illegal about paying out of pocket for your own care, but robbing the public of their insurance premiums is another story.

Please continue to educate yourself on health care issues. It is important for each of us to look at the true successes and failures in health care. Don't always follow the crowd. We have dangerous social conditioning at work. Visit The Myth of the Month for more informaiton.

Remember, live fully today!

Dave Ramsey Can Equate Money with Health


Dave Ramsey always has pearls of wisdom on his radio show.


Today I heard him say, "You will never borrow yourself into success."


He often preaches that borrowing money for business is not ideal. Starting small, buying as you go and expanding as the business increases is the way to
last long term.
The same can be said for personal health.


You cannot drug yourself into health.
(borrow)


Taking prescription drugs is like borrowing on a currency system that will collapse.
Health will only change through sincere behavior change.


Paul Zane Pilzer, Nobel Prize Winning Economist and Author is quoted saying: “Today about 95% of the prescription drugs sold are Maintenance drugs-drugs that treat only the symptoms of a disease, and that you are expected to take for the rest of your life.”

But changing behavoir is not drugery. It is difficult when you don't have support, but mind-set matters.

When you don't know what you have, you don't know how to take care of it.

I don't mean what diagnosis do you have. I mean do you know the mastery of the human body and how wonderful it is? We are self-healers or we are self-defeaters.

Learn how your body works. You'll fall in love and make powerful changes in your life.

M.D. Aging Expert Says Subluxations of Childhood Cause Aging Diseases



Osteoporosis is a childhood disease according the Dr. Robert Butler.
He also adds that a Toxic Food Environment is also dangerous as he talks about processed and fast foods. He doesn't know it, but he is talking about subluxations.

B.J. Palmer, D.C. Ph.C., the developer of chiropractic, said Subluxations are symptoms of interference to innate intelligence. We all know toxins, trauma, and unbalanced emotions cause subluxations. Subluxations take hold when we are very young and reprogram the body in such as way that rebounding from stress becomes difficult impairing the healing process. Be aware how profound knowledge of chiropractic vitalism has on your health, quality of life, and outlook.

Remember, you can learn more about advanced chiropractic through the Chiropractive Curriculum.

As a phsyician, Dr. Butler feels 12 minutes a visit is not enough time to work with a patient and the health care delivery system is a huge problem in promoting quality of life. There must be a change. I agree with him and implore everyone to always take an interest in self education on all kinds of health matters.

Watch this short video for a sneak peek at Dr. Butler's talk.

Dr. Robert Butler is a psychiatrist and gerontologist who recognized in the 1960's that the elderly were discriminated against and has been dedicated to social health policy and education as aging impacts all of society.

It matters to all of us.
Remember,
you get to choose.
