Some Guidelines for Medicare Benefits Are Troubling


The guidelines for Medicare benefits for the elderly sometimes are very troubling to me. Although I am a senior citizen I do benefit somewhat from Medicare but it is very limited benefits.

What really bothers me the most are the people getting free power chairs and scooters from the Scooter Stores and free products from diabetic accessories stores. Granted there are incidents when some people could benefit from a power chair or scooter from the Scooter Stores but I believe many can survive without them.

However I believe this practice many times becomes a fraud and the Scooter Stores really benefit financially from these guidelines for Medicare benefits. The problem here is that all of us as citizens are paying for this privilege even though we may not ever need a power chair.

One of these Scooter Stores has been in business for 18 years and in that time has made over 475,000 sales. I don’t know how many of these were paid for through the guidelines for Medicare benefits but if it were only 10%, that’s a lot of sales for the Scooter Stores.

Medicare Qualification for Scooter or Power Chair

Here’s how a person qualifies for a scooter or power chair by the guidelines for Medicare benefits. If your limited mobility is the result of a qualifying medical condition and prevents you from accomplishing basic day-to-day tasks independently in your home, Medicare could cover 80% of your new power chair or scooter.

If you have supplemental insurance, it may cover the remaining 20% and if you watch the commercials on TV about the Scooter Stores you see how some people talk about getting their scooter for free. Scooters and/or power chairs sell from $1800 to $5000 a piece. From the looks of some of these scooters on TV most of them look like the deluxe models.

Diabetes Victims

The Guidelines for Medicare also benefits people who buy diabetes accessories too. Again many people with diabetes will qualify for free blood glucose meters and testing supplies paid for by Medicare. These diabetic Medicare supplies companies are making huge profits and you and I are paying for all this too.

As far as the people with diabetes, if they learned how to eat right they wouldn’t have to have insulin or diabetic testing supplies from these diabetic accessories stores. They surely don’t want anyone to know what causes diabetes. No, no, no these companies profit from your ailment just like any company that sells products for people’s ailments.

These Medicare supplies stores TV commercials are very convincing. They say they will send you a free meter and if you qualify for coverage, they will even ship your supplies free and bill Medicare for you.

The Government Accountability Office lists Medicare as a “high risk” government program in need of reform, in part because of its vulnerability to fraud and partly because of its long term financial problems. Fewer than 5% of Medicare claims are audited.

The Real Issue About Health

Here is the real issue. Many people don’t seem to feel as responsible as they should for their own health. They feel if they get sick the government will take care of them. They got that right because it is true “the government will take care of you” in most cases.

What did people do before the guidelines for Medicare program really kicked in years ago? What did they do when there were no “scooter stores” as there are today? What did they do when diabetic Medicare supplies were not free?

Take Charge of Your Health

This is exactly what they did. They took “personal charge” of their health much better than they do today. They didn’t consume multiple doses of prescription drug back then like they do today. It’s a known fact that 25% of seniors take 10 to 19 pills a day for whatever ails them. That is totally shocking to say the least. Not only that it’s highly dangerous to your health to consume that many pills every day.

It’s time to “wake up America” and even “wake up world.” When are you going to get smart and realize that the scooter stores, diabetic Medicare supplies stores and even prescription drug companies are not going to sufficiently solve your health problems? All these companies only supply Band Aid treatments. They are not a lasting cure for whatever medical issues you have.

The Obama government and even all previous governments have failed to address the real issue of health. What we really need is health education not health coverage. If people knew how to better take care of themselves they would not need health insurance to the degree we have now.

I appeal to all citizens young and old to get thoroughly educated, first of all, about prevention measures to prevent illness and disease. Then if you have an ailment or disease or want to know how to prevent them visit my website and begin an education process. Go there now and see what it takes to get healthy and fit.

The Proven Ways For Preventing Alzheimer’s


Preventing Alzheimer’s just like so many other diseases is our own responsibility. We cannot blame others for our reckless actions we take sometimes. People are constantly abusing their body everyday and wonder why they get certain diseases.

Boosting your immune system is the primary key for defending your body against all diseases. You can stop getting sick if you will just take certain measures to keep youself healthy.

Here are some shocking facts about Alzheimer’s. In last year’s Alzheimer’s Facts and figures report the number of American stricken with this disease was 5.1 million. This year’s report brings us up to 5.2 million, including 200,000 to 250,000 people under the age of 65 with early onset Alzheimer’s.

The General Public is Ignorant About the Facts

It’s a shame more people don’t realize what is necessary for preventing Alzheimer’s because it is predicted by 2050 there are estimates that a full 10 million U.S. “Baby Boomers” will have come down with Alzheimer’s, which translates to 1 out of 8!

You can stop getting sick from just about any illness or disease by simply boosting your immune system. That is also true for preventing Alzheimer’s as well. Fortunately there are several ways for preventing Alzheimer’s if you will just make some simple lifestyle changes which will keep your brain in optimal working order well past your 60’s.

Here are a few ways for boosting your immune system and preventing Alzheimer’s.

* Eat a nutritious diet with plenty of vegetables and pay special attention to avoiding sugar.
* Eat plenty of high quality omega-3 fih oil. Eat only small fish that have only a small amount of mercury in them.
* Avoid aluminum, such as antiperspirants, cookware etc.
* Exercise for three to five hours a week.
* Avoid flu vaccines as they contain both mercury and aluminum.
* Wild blueberries, which have a high anthocyanin and antitoxant content are known to guard against Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases.
* Challenge your mind daily. Mental stimulation, such as traveling, learning to play and instrument or doing crossword puzzles, is associated with a decreased risk of Alzheimer’s.

Researchers Suspicions

Researchers suspect that mental challenge helps to build up your brain making it less susceptible to the lessons associated with Alzheimer’s disease. There was a small study by researchers at the University Of Wisconsin where they found another way that was valuable for preventing Alzheimer’s. They found there were strong links between low levels of vitamin D in Alzheimer’s patients and poor outcome of cognitive tests.

Researchers believe that optimal vitamin D levels may enhance the amount of important chemicals in the brain and protect brain cells,thus preventing Alzheimer’s.

There is some very strong evidence that by boosting your immune system with vitamin D, either with supplements or natural sunlight you can substantially reduce the risk of cancer, the flu, diabetes heart disease, autoimmune diseases and even preventing Alzheimer’s.

You can stop getting sick from all kinds of illnesses and diseases if you will just follow some healthy guidelines every day. That’s even true if you decide preventing Alzheimer’s is one of your many health which, is a very debilitating and feared disease.

One other tip I have found recently in a newsletter that I get from Dr. Bruce West for treatment for Alzheimer’s is taking coconut oil daily. Dr. Mary Newport, MD dramatically improved her husband’s Alzheimer’s condition with this treatment.

It has long been a theory that certain types of oils that contain medium chain triglycerides (the kind of fat in coconut oil) can provide substantial help for dementia and Alzheimer’s patients.

It’s frightening to see people already experiencing Alzheimer’s disease and not knowing how to prevent Alzheimer’s. The Medical profession doesn’t do one thing to help people solve or learn about any prevention for illnesses or diseases.

The only way today you will learn to stop getting sick and learn how boosting your immune system is the way to wellness is to search the internet or visit websites such as mine and get the right information. Go there and join my 6 lesson Ecourse and see how easy it is to stop getting sick

Meet the man who developed this system and unlocked the secrets of the human mind. It is none other than Jose Silva. Even though he was born to poor parents in Laredo, Texas on the Mexican border he was always successful. His story is a true American success story. In fact, his story transcends time and space.

It is one of the great success stories in the history of the world. He really learned how to live a healthy life. As a six year old boy he began to support his family. After watrching his father die as a result of a terrorist act during the Mexican revolution.

* Jose learned to read and write on his own in both English and Spanish.
* Instead of going to school, he earned money for his family by selling newspapers.
* By the time he was a teenager, he was an employee and hired other youngsters.

What really caused him to discover the mediation methods was mostly because of his children were not following him in his footsteps. Some bad report cards convinced him that he had to find the answer.

Because Jose was determined to teach his children how to live a healthy life and prosper in their later years he began to study psychology, the study of human behavior.

One of things he learned is that the brain operates on a small amount of electrical energy, and that this current viberates rapidly, twenty times every second, referred to as twenty cycles per second, abbreviated twenty cps.

With this information he began to create his Jose Silva Mind Control program. It has now developed into the Ultra Mind system. Jose has since passed away but the program is now under the direction of his son, Jose Jr.

I took the original course years ago and still use it to this day to help me live a healthy life by handling all of life’s challenges. You can learn more by going to the Silva website. Go there now and learn how to live a healthy life forever starting today.

The Most Unhealthy Foods to Avoid


There are many unhealthy foods to avoid today but I want to mention just one that is very troubling to me. The misleading advertisements of one of the most famous name brand product that is in the most unhealthy foods category I want to discuss here. What really prompted me to write this article was the recent endorsement of this product by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure of Cancer organization. For those not familiar with his stupid decision here are the details.

They agreed to a new Alliance with Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) where pink buckets of fried chicken are sold under the slogan, "Buckets for the Cure" If you don't believe this take a look for yourself at this website.

Not only is this decision the most idiotic I have ever heard but the organization is the most disgusting of all cancer fund raising organizations in the world. Can you believe this type of misleading advertisements of one of the most unhealthy foods would be supported by an organization that wants to cure cancer?

They have been running misleading advertisements already about their “march for curing cancer” which doesn't even happen until October, and this is only May. By the time that day comes around they will have convinced thousands of innocent women to participate and promote one of the most unhealthy foods on the market today. This organization is a drug company front group that actually promotes cancer in my opinion. It is really an outright fraud by scamming consumers out of their money while claiming to search for a cure.

Women Are Duped

Are there American women so stupid to believe that this kind of misleading advertisements of one of the most unhealthy foods is going to cure their breast cancer? I am sorry to say "yes" because there are women who really do believe this hog wash. It is not only sad that they believe this hog wash but it should be a serious crime for any organization to promote this type of "misleading advertisements."

So here's the question that you should ask, does fried chicken actually promote cancer? Well fried chicken is coated in starches. The recipe for KFC chicken batter is basically flour, sugar, salt, black pepper and monosodium glutamate (MSG). This is a recipe for chronic degenerative disease because the flour and sugar are highly processed and the MSG is an excitotoxin that Dr. Russell Blaylock links to obesity, cancer and neurological disorders. The chicken itself is yet another cruel story.

The Real Story

Here's why. When you fry starches at high temperatures, you also create acrylamides, toxic chemical by products of cooking that are believed by many health experts to promote cancer. One scientific study even revealed eating acrylamides boosts kidney cancer rates by 59 percent. Acrylamides are also linked to ovarian cancer. So here we are now Susan G. Komen for the Cure promoting food that promotes cancer. Can you believe this is happening? I can because I know the FDA is so corrupt that they turn their heads when a large corporation like KFC is involved.

What is very frustrating is they continue these misleading advertisements for their product which is among the most unhealthy foods in the world. However here is something else that could be interesting. If the Susan G. Komen organization were using such tactics to promote herbal remedies, it would have been shut down and its executives arrested long ago as fraudulent quacks. But because this organization has such strong ties to the profiteering drug companies, it gets away with these fraudulent marketing gimmicks without suffering a single investigation from the FTC or even the mainstream newspapers.

There are hundreds maybe even thousands of misleading advertisements of food products that are among the most unhealthy foods all over the world. The average American is so unaware of this type of abuse that it is very shocking to me. It is rare that the mainstream media never reports the actual facts of situations such as this.

Education Is the Key

Without people becoming more educated about what is affecting their health, America and even other countries will continue to get sicker and sicker. Our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren could even be affected if they don't realize the consequences of not eating healthy.
Don't count on any government agency to protect you. It won't happen. If you are truly interested is becoming more aware of protecting you health visit my website. Go there now. You will be surprised what you learn

Iatrongenic Disease Is Part of Medicalization


To explain what this title is all about, here's a simple explanation. In this country we have the best health care system in the world but it is killing us.

The reason being is that we use it poorly many times, because of the fact we have total reliance on medicine and medical intervention of any and all health care problems. That is why it is killing us.

Medicalization is nothing more than too much treatment to cure illness. We don't have a shortage of health care or insurance or too high cost; or too expensive drugs; or a lack of doctors; specialists; or exotic diagnostic machines. What is really happening to cure illness today is we are over treated; over screened, over drugged, over operated, over irradiated and over brain washed.

This is What Iatrogrnic Disease is All About

So here is where iatrogenic disease comes in. Iatrogenic disease is defined this way. It is any adverse mental or physical condition induced in a patient by effects of treatment by a physician or surgeon. In other words, it is the mayhem, damage and death caused directly by doctors and their treatments to cure illness, which is part of medicatization.

Iatroganic disease is broken down into two categories. The first is Type I Medical Malpractice with which you are familiar. This is unacceptable medical or surgical performance that injuries patients. Now the second iatrogenic disease is one most Americans are not familiar with.

It is called Type II Malpractice and it is called medicatization. It is explained this way. Doctors do something very well to cure illness but it was never needed in the first place.

Doctors Not Wholly Blamed

Iatrogenic disease cannot be entirely blamed on doctors and physicians. They simply following the proven peer-reviewed, double-blind studied, gold standards of medicalization to cure illness. Here's the problem. When doctors realize sometimes that their treatments (whether they were needed or not) cause serious problems or death, they have no safe place to report these medical errors.

With no safe place (that is, without risk of lawsuits or legal damages ) to report errors and treatments that don't work, are not needed and should not be continued, reporting does not take place.

So what happens, there is no incentive to change the status of medicalization to cure illness. Since this is true the whole system endures the continuation of the same treatments.

The business plan stays the same. New doctors are taught and even brainwashed to continue the same money-making practices of prescribing drugs and surgery to cure illness. Some people who are dealing with iatrogenic disease most times never get any better until they stop or change their current medical treatment. The good news is when you begin to regain some common sense on ways to cure illness you will be better off.

You can start to give your body what it needs to heal and regenerate. Once you begin to get better, then it is time to have your doctor wean you off toxic drugs and treatments. You can now stop the medicatization process and finally rid yourself of the iatrogenic disease senario which does not address the true underlying causes to cure illness.

Take Charge of Your Health Now

You will finally realize that what your body really needs to cure illness is to stop the ingestion of disease causing foods, drugs, toxins, and chemicals that are killing you. Don't ignore the facts of what medicalization will eventually do to you if you don't start taking charge of your own medical concerns. You can learn how to cure illness when you know what to do to make it happen without the side effects you experience with conventional medicine.
