Can Nano-Nutrtion, Micro-Nutrients, Nutrtional Support and Exercise Subsidize Healthcare Cost?











This week is a major week in healthcare reform as the administration has invited both memebers of congress to an open forum to speak about the rising cost of healthcare. The key points are on policy and the fiscal development to fund a "new idea" for provisions for some form of healthcare, but doesn't yet provide the implementation for practitioners as how to do it. How can this be? One can not go without the other.



But, perhaps one model will address the "fiscal and physical" healthcare issues. There is a direct correlation to rising healthcare costs and one major problem , Obesity which is the "Mother of All of chronic illnesses".



Obesity and being overweight contribute more to heart attacks, high blood pressure, high choesterol and triglycerides, diabetes, cancers, polycystic ovarian disease, pancreatic dysfunction, liver dysfunction, pulmonary disorders, depression, eating disorders, arthritis, gout, gall stones, and poor self esteem more than any other factor in our society.



If a "culture" of wellness is going to be developed that takes on attacking this major problem seriously it will have to address prevention through, more leisure activity and organic based nutritional support. But, let's not forget what is perhaps the "missing link" in a healthy lifestyle that seems to be always over-looked and widely under-estimated , the factor of Nano-Nutrition which include: vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, enzymes, and herbals.



Dr. Sanjay Gupta described for us already the cost of an hourly rate in a surgery suite as being on average $3000. A first time or annual physical can be $200-500 , some monthly supply of drugs can cost over $250 -$500, administrative costs are rising, quality assurance-utilization review are expensive, defensive medicine, and medical liability are all causing the system to become way too costly.



Now, enters Nano-Nutrition which with the Thermogenix Plan(http://www.tgx360.com/) can allow you to promote health by improving cellular metabolism. It is the cell that is where all the body's "micro-processing" occurs. This is very intricate micro-dieting where literally trillions of biochemical reactions/per second are creating and converting food into super bio-fuels to make energy. This focus is the heart of Microbiotics unlike seeing things from the whole food and organ system level or Macrobiotics we've become all too familiar with.



Natural Nano-Nutrition include supplements that can help reduce blood pressure, stabilize blood sugar, reduce body and blood fats as well as help fight against carcinogens. Nano-Nutrtion help the cells make more efficient use of your foods by eliminating free oxygen radicals as well with the use of antioxidants allowing your cells to fight off other toxins.



The issues of insomnia, depression, lack of energy, immuno-suppression, sticky platelets that create clots, building up lean muscle mass, reducing prostatic problems in men, menstrual problems as well as menopausal issues in females along with sexuality issues for both are addressed with Nano-Nutrition-supplements.

This could potentially cut a large proportion of chronic illnesses in appearing and may even reduce acute care incidents(heart attacks, angina, accelerated blood pressure, keto acidosis or hyperglycemia, asthmtic attacks and more). Can you begin to imagine what the savings would be ?

Nano-Nutrition along with a regualr lifestyle regimen of leisure activity and nutritional support can answer many fiscal and physcial health issues. It can do this for the fraction of the cost. Prevention , "real prevention" reduces the need of repeated tests which reduces the chances of errors as well. By engaging in daily lifestyle regimens as a part of one's life instead of seeing a physical health practitioner too often allows not only lower cost, but places the responsibility of health on the real focus, the individual. This shifts the entire focus on the real subject, literally! A lifestyle allows the individual to be more aware and cognizant of their body and be aware of changes. Educating individuals on what is a fat , a calorie, how metabolism works and also how to check for physical changes promotes prevention awareness.

Organic based Nano-Nutrition has less side effects than the synthetic(artificial) pharmaceutical counter parts. Many drugs require weekly or monthly blood levels which are an additive cost measure.

By converting physicians and other allied health providers into "lifestyles coaches" that work as a team of fitness trainers, nutritionist, dieticians, herbalist, biochemist, and behaviorist ; a lifestyle change could have a health affect on a community for improving its eating habits and promote its lack in exercise.

Don't get me wrong, this is only the first part of the "Prevention and Wellness Campaingn" with this paradigm shift. The other half of the campaign would call for those from the Health & Human Services, Public Health Services, Madison Avenue, Wall Street, the foods industry( as well as USDA), and restaurant industry to commit to a prevention-campaign market idea of going "green" and natural. Companies would also have to commit to a worksite health promotion program in this campaign.

Now, put these two halves together. In a free market system incentive based results will be driven by a more altruistic approach of "healing". Without families , company employees, church members and communities becoming a part of something "much bigger" than themselves, the incentive based communal approach is defeated as health goal . Any other system healthcare becomes a luxury for just a few privileged elite.

Now , researchers who are actuaries can look at the data and extrapolate how "going green and moving more" can reduce morbidity and mortality. The healthcare system, now becomes a kinder gentler profession more like Marcus Welby and Dr. Kildare as opposed to the narcissitic "Lamborghini materialist" characters of "Nip-Tuck".

Botanist, herbalogist and biochemist can provide already known data that supports the potential reduction our toxic life style condition produces which is costing us not only our health but the savings for future generations.

Going "green" with healthier Nano-Nutrition is not only pragmatic it is practical and proven to be effective. It is now for the policy makers to integrate it as a recognized form of "complementary medicine" if you will, but Natural Nano-Nutrition has been known and practiced and well documented for over 5,000 years. It is not meant to be only used by labs and prevention health policy makers!

Leave mother nature to her own and she will find a way to re-balance everything, what we can do is be good observers and better custodians of our own body's!
