Sick Care: Keeping Your Money & Health With “Reform”
By Linda | January 6, 2010
If the new health care reform bill passes, you will be forced to pay thousands of dollars to insurance companies, which promote the sick model. You will be forced to pay for drugs and surgery, not promotion of health or prevention of disease. Instead of diverting extra money to organic carrots, you will need to send it to a corporation. Is this even unconstitutional? It is definitely bad for your health.
You could take up a pitchfork and head for DC, but really, the most effective way to fight this is probably to boycott the plan and STAY WELL. Doctors are the third leading cause of death, responsible for 225,000 deaths each year, according to an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Doctors also save lives, I know this first hand. But when it comes to chronic disease, a top killer, they have a poor track record. Even their own journal admits this! My mission is to help you find the tools to help you stay well, and to naturally overcome illness. The good news is your body is wired to get well – it just needs the right tools.
There are two challenges I see after working with thousands of clients:
First, staying the course. How do we stick to our resolutions? How do we resist the party food, the leftover holiday fudge? the soda? the evening drinking? How do we force another vegetable down the throats of our kids, or ourselves? How do we find it in us to get out and exercise?
Second, finding the right natural tools for healing. Common everyday drugs (used correctly) including aspirin, statins, coumadin and others, take the lives of over 100,000 people each year. I am not saying there is no place for drugs, just that we are relying on them too much, and missing the natural cures. We’re not going to hear about natural alternatives when the media is supported and politicians are elected with drug company dollars. Rely on smaller voices.
My latest newsletter provides 10 tips for staying on track with your health resolutions. Here’s your first step. Do you need more help here? How do you stay on track in the face of temptations for sweets and sloth? What natural remedies have you used with success this year? This is the place to share a comment, ask a question and to come back for inspiration from others. We need your voice.
