Finally Good Health News Is Coming As A Result Of The Pandemic

I have to do something unusual today and give a big shout out to Dr. Sandeep Jauhar for his New York Times Opinion piece. He expressed a much-needed truth about the medical industry in this country. Yes, I use the word “industry” intentionally. We are no longer living in a society where true healthcare is being practiced across the board. Real honest-to-goodness health care is hard to come by these days, though it is available.

Dr. Jauhar is a cardiologist, a frequent contributor to the New York Times Opinion section as well as an author. And as he mentions in his piece, it seems thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, it appears that people are actually feeling better than they have in years.

This is a direct quote from Dr. Jauhar’s opinion piece, “It is well recognized that a substantial amount of health care in America is wasteful, accounting for hundreds of billions of dollars of the total health care budget. Wasteful care is driven by many forces: “defensive” medicine by doctors trying to avoid lawsuits; a reluctance on the part of doctors and patients to accept diagnostic uncertainty (which leads to more tests); the exorbitant prices that American doctors and hospitals charge, at least compared to what is charged in other countries; a lack of consensus about which treatments are effective; and the pervasive belief that newer, more expensive technology is always better.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/opinion/coronavirus-reopen-hospitals.html

 

Americans Have Been Chronically Over Treated And Over Medicated

What a relief it is to have a mainstream medical professional tell the truth about the American medical system. I’ve been saying the same thing for decades. I’ve also been caring for people whose health has been ruined by all of the wastefulness and fear. And I’ve been able to help the few who have finally had the courage to step away from the mainstream medical merry-go-round.

It’s no surprise that the doctors and hospital administrators are chomping at the bit for things to return to the pre-pandemic state. For, as Dr. Jauhar says, “For months now, routine care has been postponed. Elective procedures — big moneymakers — were halted so that hospitals could divert resources to treating Covid-19 patients. Routine clinic visits were canceled or replaced by online sessions. This has resulted in grievous financial losses for hospitals and clinics. Medical practices have closed. Hospitals have been forced to furlough employees or cut pay.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/opinion/coronavirus-reopen-hospitals.html

But, the big surprise is that, as Dr. Jauhar writes, “Most patients, on the other hand, at least those with stable chronic conditions, seem to have done OK. In a recent survey, only one in 10 respondents said their health or a family member’s health had worsened as a result of delayed care. Eighty-six percent said their health had stayed about the same.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/opinion/coronavirus-reopen-hospitals.html

 

Beneficial Care vs. Malignant Care

I truly appreciate Dr. Jauhar’s honesty and language regarding unnecessary treatments. He writes, “If beneficial routine care dropped during the past few months of the pandemic lockdown, so perhaps did its malignant counterpart, unnecessary care.” (Italics are mine!) He

goes on to say that, “In a survey a few years ago, two-thirds of doctors in the United States admitted that between 15% and 30% of health care is probably unnecessary.” Thank you Dr. Jauhar! And take note of this. “Medical societies already produce lists of procedures that are essential and those that are better avoided. The latter include M.R.I. scans for most lower-back pain and nuclear stress tests when there are no signs of heart disease.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/opinion/coronavirus-reopen-hospitals.html

 

Real Healthcare For Better Health

I might up those stated percentages myself, but I am not going to start nit-picking when the truth is finally being exposed. If you or someone you know has been on the medical industry merry-go-round and are feeling better because you haven’t been to see your doctor, you might be ready to consider a completely different approach to your healthcare now. If you would really like to improve your health, strengthen your immune system and live to the fullest with vitality and enthusiasm instead of fear and unnecessary medical procedures, give me a call. I have been helping my patients undo years of unnecessary medical interventions that have contributed to the destruction of their health.

 

Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctor in Advance Medicine, The Recipient Of The Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award And Best-Selling Author, Dr. John Trowbridge, Talks About The Current Healthcare Crisis.  

Dr. John Trowbridge, Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctor in Advance Medicine, the Recipient of The Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award, and best-selling author, empathizes with people who are trying to feel better but just can’t seem to get there under the care of multiple doctors.

   

HOUSTON. TX  November 13, 2019: Dr. John Trowbridge, Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctor in Advanced Medicine and the recipient of the Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award, posted a new article on his website entitled, “With Our Healthcare Industry Facing A Crisis It’s No Wonder It’s Hard To Feel Better,” in which Dr. Trowbridge urges readers to step off the traditional healthcare path.

 

“How do I know our healthcare industry is in crisis?” Dr. Trowbridge asks, then adds, “For starters, we’re in the midst of a chronic opioid epidemic started by doctors who began over-prescribing pain killers at the urging of pharmaceutical companies who told them the pills were not addictive.”

 

According to Dr. Trowbridge, “When 150 people die every day from opioids, that is your first clue there’s something really wrong.” He continues adding, “Secondly, more than 88,000 people die annually from alcohol-related causes and more than 480,000 from cigarette smoking.

https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/fast_facts/

Dr. Trowbridge states, “I recognize these are all “addiction” statistics.” He elaborates, “Addiction is a disease and it is not getting better, it’s getting worse. Unfortunately, the medical establishment tends to point fingers and blame the addicted person for being weak-willed or morally inept. That simply isn’t true. There is always an underlying reason for the “addiction” and the biggest one today is over-prescription of opioids.”

“Now,” writes Dr. Trowbridge, “add to these astonishing figures the fact that “An estimated 40,000 to 80,000 deaths occur each year in U.S. hospitals related to misdiagnosis, and an estimated 12 million Americans suffer a diagnostic error each year in a primary care setting—33% of which result in serious or permanent damage or death.” https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/hospitals-health-systems/jhu-1-3-misdiagnoses-results-serious-injury-or-death

Dr. Trowbridge writes, “Our healthcare industry is no longer one that really cares about patients. It’s turned into something that appears to be far more motivated by greed than care.” According to Dr. Trowbridge, “It’s a medical/pharmaceutical/insurance driven industry where prescribing pills and surgeries is seen as the ultimate in modern “care.” It’s a system where symptoms are treated instead of causes. As Dr. Trowbridge emphasizes, “It takes too much time, patience and consideration to get to the root cause of illnesses and conditions. And doctors simply don’t have enough “time.” There are far too many patients who keep coming back for more drugs and multiple surgeries!” He further points out that, “Part of the problem is that regular doctors are not trained in health and healing approaches that often can be far more effective and safer.”

“When you really look at our healthcare system,” says Dr. Trowbridge, “it is making more people sick and it’s becoming more and more difficult for people to get better, feel better and get on with their lives. More and more people spend their time making the rounds to various different specialists for all the different things that ail them. That, in my opinion, is no way to live.”

With Our Healthcare Industry Facing A Crisis It’s No Wonder It’s Hard To Feel Better

How do I know our healthcare industry is in crisis? For starters, we’re in the midst of a chronic opioid epidemic started by doctors who began over-prescribing pain killers at the urging of pharmaceutical companies who told them the pills were not addictive.

When 150 people die every day from opioids, that is your first clue there’s something really wrong. Secondly, more than 88,000 people die annually from alcohol-related causes and more than 480,000 from cigarette smoking.

https://www.asam.org/docs/default-source/advocacy/opioid-addiction-disease-facts-figures.pdf

https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/brochures-and-fact-sheets/alcohol-facts-and-statistics

https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/fast_facts/ I recognize these are all “addiction” statistics. Addiction is a disease and it is not getting better, it’s getting worse. Unfortunately, the medical establishment tends to point fingers and blame the addicted person for being weak-willed or morally inept. That simply isn’t true. There is always an underlying reason for the “addiction” and the biggest one today is over-prescription of opioids, simply because doctors ignore incredibly successful treatments without surgery or daily drugs.

Now, add to these astonishing figures the fact that “An estimated 40,000 to 80,000 deaths occur each year in U.S. hospitals related to misdiagnosis, and an estimated 12 million Americans suffer a diagnostic error each year in a primary care setting—33% of which result in serious or permanent damage or death.” https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/hospitals-health-systems/jhu-1-3-misdiagnoses-results-serious-injury-or-death Once again, this is due to the fact that most doctors ignore safe and effective treatment programs that can be provided in-office, without risky drugs and hospitalizations.

A Health Care System That Makes You Sick

Our healthcare industry is no longer one that really cares about patients. It’s turned into something that appears to be far more motivated by greed than care. It’s a medical/pharmaceutical/insurance driven industry where prescribing pills and surgeries is seen as the ultimate in the modern “standard of care.” It’s a system where symptoms are treated instead of causes. It takes too much time, patience and consideration to get to the root cause of illnesses and conditions. And doctors simply don’t have enough “time.” There are far too many patients who keep coming back for more drugs and multiple surgeries! Part of the problem is that regular doctors are not trained in health and healing approaches that often can be far more effective and safer.

If you happen to need a new arm, leg, heart, lung or liver you’re in the right system. Doctors love replacing limbs and organs. And, don’t get me wrong, there is a need for these types of medical services. But they are not what the majority of people need. But it will be the norm if we keep going in this direction.

When you really look at our healthcare system, it is making more people sick and it’s becoming more and more difficult for people to get better, feel better and get on with their lives. More and more people spend their time on the medical merry-go-round to various different specialists for all the many things that ail them, never being able to “hop off.” In a few short years, their medication list can grow from two or three to 10 or 12 or even more! That, in my opinion, is no way to live.

There Are Doctors Who Really Do Care

There are many individual healthcare providers throughout the country, doctors who truly do care about helping their patients overcome their health challenges.  If you really want to feel and stay better, you have to look outside of the established system. In fact, this reminds me of the famous Einstein quote, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.” That is what so many people are doing, hoping for better but suffering more and more, becoming more and more discouraged.

Time To Step Onto A Different Path To Healing

It’s time to do something different. It’s time to get off the hamster wheel and look to a physician whose practice is not based on prescribing drugs and surgeries. It’s time to find a healthcare provider who knows that the body is self-healing under the right conditions. Are you ready to stop doing the same thing and expecting different results? With a health care system in crisis, there are millions of people in a health crisis. Sadly, that likely includes you, your parents, your children, your friends and your neighbors.

I have treated patients for more than 41 years, often without drugs or surgeries. That includes those with joint, neck and back pain. I have achieved startling improvements with severe skin conditions, autoimmune patterns, lingering infections, even patients suffering with leukemia and other cancers, Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. If you have even a tiny desire and a shred of hope that you can feel better, then you must get off the path you’ve been on now. Strike out anew and find out how wonderful life is when your health has been restored. What we do works!

What IF a Second Opinion Could SAVE YOU From An Avoidable Operation Or Side-Effects of Drugs?

Times are tight. Everyone’s squeezing the last bit of value out of every dollar. And for many, that means going to hospitals and doctors that accept your insurance.

What people often overlook is how such a choice might impact their future well being. It’s not just a matter of “this” or “that” doctor who do the same operation, it’s not just a matter of “this” or “that” drug that do basically the same treatment, it’s not just a matter of “this or “that” hospital that provides essentially the same kind of care.

What IF ….. your “bone-on-bone” arthritis could get dramatically better without surgery? Our results with RT have been dramatic over the past 22 years – a fact you wouldn’t know unless you were here for treatments! (Our “90 %” success with neck and back and shoulder and knee pains is over-shadowed by our success with ankles … we’ve never yet missed getting one better.)

What IF ….. your congestive heart failure improved with our almost-20-year-old program developed to help just exactly that? Again, a fact you wouldn’t know. (Our leg treatments work even better, and we’re thrilled to save folks from amputations.)

What IF ….. your reflux esophagitis (“heartburn” or belly pains) went away with our seemingly-magic program that returns your gut to more normal function? How would you know? (MOST of our patients had “given up,” believing that their discomforts could never get better – after all, they’d had the ‘scopes and x-rays and CAT scans and so on and on for years. Do you know how many hundreds of medical problems improve when treated as The Yeast Syndrome?)

As people have started pinching their pennies, many have forgotten to invite their friends and family to consider a Second Opinion with us, before they go on with surgery or “Ask your doctor if BLAH-BLAH is the right medicine for you.”

So, we want to remind you – we’re here to meet your needs, turning your God-given ability for healing into wonderful results for you, without daily drugs and without surgery. Are you ready to get out of your pain and on with your life? We’re ready to help ….. YOU!
