How Nano-Nutrition, Microbiotic Dieting, Bio-fuels, Vitamins, Antioxidants, Minerals, Herbs and Supplements could balance Your Healthcare Costs


Today on CNN the broadcasting of "Anderson Cooper 360" featured Dr. Sanjay Gupta reporting about the astounding mark ups on surgery suite equipment as well as that of medical clinics. First off , Dr. Gupta stated the average surgery suite is about $300 an hour. Sutures used for sewing up a wound cost about $1200 and an Itravenous bag(IV) could run $280.

Much of the cost we don't see in the surgery room are administrative costs and other fees tacked on due to the manufacturers cost of doing research and development and warrantying their product . The other cost alluded to , but not mentioned are liability and legal costs.

Dr. Gupta mentioned how one patient was charged $38,000 for a C-section that required just two days in the hospital.

Why are these costs rising? Partly due to health insurances rising at a meteorotic rate, pharmaceutical R & D, and the cost of physician care. As medical liability rises for practitioners we will see more GOOD doctors leave the practice of medicine because of these astronomical fees! But, what may take the "cake" is the new proposed legislation for healthcare which has gone from the $ 100 Billion a year for ten years to the newly proposed $200 Billion a year for ten years!

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT
Many of us are frustrated by these fees and feel totally impotent by the huge bureaucracy that faces our law making system and policy making procedures. What can you do pro-actively besides write your congressmen? While lobbyist are pushing their agenda ,you've got to be taking care of your health, NOW!

THE MISSING LINK
One of the things the public and private sector that is associated with healthcare policy has to do is "shift the paradigm" altogether to a more preventive mode and see the real problem in this system. The "mother of ALL chronic diseases" is obesity (Please read earlier article : Obesity the Mother of All Chronic illnesses). That means prevention, nutritional support and (leisure) exercise has to be re-examined as a real remedy to the cost to the human body and the budget.

But, unlike the monotonous , stale and too over the top clinical messages about diet and exercise as the ONLY way to maintain health, we've got to utilize the "missing link" in all of this. The missing link is Nano-Nutrition which includes vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, enzymes, herbs and supplements. These bio-fuels re-connect us to a more natural form of health. In other words we've got to "go back to go forward"!

Back when this country was a more agrairian society we got our Nano-Nutrtion naturally. But, with the advance of technolgy our foods have become exposed to losing vitamins, nurients, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants by processes that add antiobiotics, growth hormone, estrogen, irradiation, microwaves, HCAs, PAHSs, HFCS, MSG, chemical dyes, artificial food coloring , dyes, genetic modification, trans fats, acrilimide, sodium, saturated fats, aspartame and saccharin into our food!

BACK TO NATURE
Going green and "moving" your body are really about the only two realistic alternatives with prevention to resolve a lot of the physical and fiscal problems of healthcare in this country. The First Lady of the U.S.A has set some good examples with planting gardens and her new campaign to combat childhood obesity(Let's Move). They both are attempts to exemplify what we must do individually to take responsibilty for our own health while congress is "battling" ad-nauseum about this issue. By the time you get your response back from your congressmen , how many more toxic exposures will your body have endured?
