Though it’s a bit jumbled and emotionally-ridden, I wanted
to share some thoughts on today’s health system. I know most everyone fighting Morgellons has some serious war stories...but also tear-jerkin' tender moments.
The medical world is pretty frustrating. It seems the approach
to “quality research” makes the professionals appear as Jane Goodall knockoffs
studying the lifestyle of sloths. Come on, folks! Let’s move it! On cancer. On
diabetes. On Morgellons!
When I returned to Cortez, CO not quite two years ago, I was
saddened to hear my Primary Care Physician had died from a brain tumor. He was
caring, sincere and willing to listen- all good characteristics. I’ve since found
a replacement, but made him alert to my slant towards Functional Medicine.
I have for several years been promoting Functional Medicine
though written and spoken words. I decided, if I could afford it, I should make
an appointment with a nearby Practitioner who specializes in neurology and see
if it was beneficial. The phone
receptionist told me my initial visit would be two hours long and cost me $720
out of pocket (they can’t take insurance…of course).
So, what is my point
in sharing this? I question the need to make health assistance so
expensive. Yes, medical professionals should make something for their
knowledge, schooling, and experience, but when it becomes inaccessible to the
general public because of cost, something is wrong.
Occasionally, those who are promoting health come through with
a very good idea….and this one’s FREE! A detox summit will be offered online
and should be very worthwhile. Here’s the link to check it out- http://thedetoxsummit.com/ I’m impressed with the speaker line up. I did sign up as a Detox Summit Affiliate, primarily to promote the free content.
Happy health! Joe
