Welcome to the Natural Medicine Revolution!
Freedom to Choose Integrative Health CareNow is the time for a Natural Medicine Revolution! Now is the time to demand access and coverage for holistic and integrative health care from health insurance companies and political
representatives. Now is the time to speak out and take a stand.
“More than seven out of 10 adults believe the U.S. health system needs fundamental change or complete rebuilding. Most adults surveyed reported difficulties accessing care, poor care coordination, and struggles with the costs and administrative hassles of health insurance... Respondents favor policies that encourage more patient-centered and integrated care…” According to a new survey released in April of 2011, by the non-profit Commonwealth Fund.
Fear, indignation, distrust, frustration, anger, outrage, and helplessness are feelings often expressed when asking people about the
American health care delivery system. Medical costs are the number one cause of bankruptcies within the United States. With escalating medical and drug costs, a constant rise in
health insurance premiums, plus an estimated 50 million uninsured Americans ~ these feelings are real.
Is your health and wellness a human right? Or, is your health a commodity to be traded on Wall Street? A profit based corporatized medical system makes human health a
commodity.
Health care costs have skyrocketed over the last 10 years and are absolutely unsustainable. This includes health insurance premiums, drugs, diagnostics, surgery, hospital stays, medical
devices, and doctor visits. The international rankings of American health care are poor compared to many other modern nations who often pay half of what we pay and have superior
results.
Do we collectively have the power to change the system? Isn’t it time to stop accepting a broken system and take action?
How to survive our current medical system?
Make your health and wellness a priority. Invest your hard earned resources into maintaining and increasing health. Choose health care providers who utilize holistic and integrative
medicine as the first line of treatment. We all know the fundamentals of good health: stress reduction, rest, healthful nutrition, regular exercise, loving relationships, positive mental
attitude, fulfilling work. Drugs and surgery are always available when needed ~ but come with an extreme cost and many risks.
Now is the time for a Natural Medicine Revolution. True preventive and holistic health care are the foundation of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (C.A.M.). Naturopathic Doctors,
Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, and Body workers are the primary licensed providers of C.A.M. care within the United States. There are a growing number of medical doctors practicing integrative
and functional medicine.
