We Already Solved the High Cost of Medical Care

Medical savings accounts utilizing pre-tax dollars with the control remaining with you, for the most part, on what you spend it on is the answer.  Simple and already available.   You still are free to choose your doctor.  Medical savings accounts are a great solution and being happily used by many of our citizens.  Medical savings accounts combine a high deductible hospitalization plan, for those times of acute and serious illness, with a savings account you can access as you need during the year for visits to your favorite doc.  The IRS does specify what you can use it for but even that  list could be changed by working with your legislators to increase the freedom of choice of what YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY ON.  That is a scream- I find it so hard not to scream when it comes to my life, my body, my health, my money.  How dare the government tell me what to do!!!!

Am I the only one alarmed at the pompous controllers attempting to  exert their bright ideas over my life - Washington know bests??   My personal experience is somewhat different than some as my amazing husband is an independent anti-aging  physician who relies on his ability to help people to make a living.  He does not need an insurance company to condone his practices; he left their clutches a number of years ago.   It is tough, I think he is lonely at times but I know how sound he sleeps because he does not have to comprise what he knows is right when he gives advice to his patients.  He practices what he preaches so that helps too.  Patients really admire him and I do too, he gets results because he wonders why someone has a problem; he does not hand out the latest drug for the symptom.  He investigates why the person has the problem in the first place, then treating the underlying cause of problems  brings results.  Simple.  Provide what the body needs to stay healthy or regain health OR remove the impediment to health and viola! healthy people.

So…we have this health care thing solved.  Independent physicians working with independent patients who make their own decisions of how to spend their health care dollars.  It works very well for very many.   Check out drmaulfair.com and go to our links for other doctors and at icimed.com. Check out the website of the American Physicians and Surgeons if you want the best source of independent medical thinking and to find out what really goes on with health care politics at aapsonline.org    Our website has many other links to other organizations of independent medical care. 

Join us in stopping the Mothers Act in your state and federally and get on board with your voice for independence.  We have welfare programs and disability programs for people who are destitute, the feds (rather us) could by them all medical savings accounts and save a ton of money.

Anti-aging medical care.

Anti-aging medicine is so much more than cosmetic procedures.  I venture to say many of us would not turn to cosmetic surgery to turn back the clock but would like to do something to regain our energy or return to good health or not slide toward death so fast! 

Beauty and energy and wellness come from within and if the internal needs of the body are not addressed it does not matter what cosmetic path you take, you will not be satisfied.  Many of us realize we are responsible for our own health outcomes as long as we are not harmed by bad advice.  For the next brief months we are still free to take or not the advice of physicians who care for us and we need to encourage others to think for themselves and do a bit of research when told to take pharmaceutical drugs as the answer to their health problems.

Because of the access to so many people through our medical practice Dr. Maulfair has heard it all!!  People who come to us are fed up with the lack of interest on the part of some doctors in finding out WHY they suffer from whatever.   Why? should be the biggest question, certainly posed before the take this drug and call me in the morning  lazy answer.  The body does not fail and become ill due to pharmaceutical deficiencies!!  If you have lost your edge with aging perhaps there is something you can do to adjust your lifestyle as part of the solution.

We are very fortunate at this time because we have alternative voices all across this country with research backup educating the public about health.  As baby boomers we remember when whole wheat flour was suggested and became readily available with new ways to unBetty Crocker ourselves.  We ate veggies again, we walked, we reduced chemical exposures and became aware of planetary environmental issues.  So here we are,  60 and 70 and needing good medical advice.  We are not the sheep our parents might have been, we want to know why and we want healthy answers to our difficulties.

Time to speak up to government officials and elected offiicials running amuck and wanting every pregnant mother to get a psyche evaluation through a questionaire administered by her doctor.  Every one looks mentally ill if you buy that line, it is a marketing strategy to sell drugs for depression and whatever else.  Its really sickening.  I am tired of menopause, pregnancy and all the other happenings in life made into illness – they are not.  Real illness is growing old feeling lousy, that is sick.  Lets steer this society away from “mental illness” to real solutions for feeling lousy.  Find a good anti-aging doctor and follow his non-drug treatments and win. 

Remember we were the generation that did change some things for the better-lets do it again.  Lets start talking and doing-in a really big way-for health freedom and healthy happy old age!!  Maybe we need some more marches on Washington, walking is good for us!!!

Health Care Freedom

It is time to let your legislators, both state and federal, know you intend to retain the meager freedom you currently have to select your own health care decisions.  We are losing ground when the government wants intrusive control over medical care.  Look to medicare for all.  The only treatment provided will be drugs to keep you docile so you can be housed quietly and not fight back.

Health savings accounts already exist and offer pretax investment in your own plan with a high deductible policy to cover the worst possible risks.  You have more leeway in how you are going to spend your health care dollars with these plans and they should be strengthened.  People need to determine their own choices when you are talking about intimate decisions.  We do not need the insurance companies and the feds making decisions for us.  If we do not fight for medical freedom they will determine if you meet the criteria for a procedure so there will be more wasted dollars.  We currently have disease care  not  health care.

People do not realize how the current system is stacked against health.  In the case of drug rehabilitation you have someone who has a sincere desire to get off of street drugs go to a clinic and find they are now offered only approved psyche drugs as a treatment.  Sound crazy?  It is.  It is also cheaper than actually helping the person clear the drug residues from their bodies thereby reducing the cravings and making it possible for the addict to learn new ways to live without drugs.  The choice is made by the insurance companies because it is cheaper in the short term and they answer to their stockholders-not the addicts or doctors – the stockholders.  Confirmed addicts like the system though because they can get fed and housed for a few days every once in awhile and free drugs.

We are never going to agree completely on the best health care system as a society, we will have those that do not want anything to do with independent choice and financial participation.  We do, however, need to strive for freedom and choice.   If you have noticed those with the purse strings call the shots, currently the insurance company and/or the government.  It should be you and me so we need to search out ways to retain our purse strings and therefore our freedom.  People are sick of paying health care premiums to be told what they can be used for.

If stock holders of the insurance companies knew how much money was wasted on good ole boy medical decisions they would change the system and allow the public to retain control of their own bodies.  Doctors and patients should make the decisions.  If the coming programs remove the decisions to others you had better hope your physician won on the debate team because if you are going to be cared for properly he will have to be convincing.

Take Your Life Back

I have been speechless lately.  Unable to put into words my disgust at the course  the country and its individual governmental services and commissions have taken.  We need to take back our bodies, our financial decisions, our political decisions and speak out against the current path our leaders project for us.

The Legislature is seriously considering legislation that makes it mandatory for every pregnant and new mom to be screened by doctors for mental illness.  The Congress passed this legislation.  It is now close to passing in the Senate.  Our republican congressman voted for this bill.  They want to get this done by Mothers Day;  a day we should honor our mothers and ourselves but now becomes the day to consider our mental illness and need for drugs.  Go to cchr.org for the full story and to get help to notify your senators of the dangers of drugging moms.

A Mom just called us about her daughter.  A daughter who received the three vaccinations of gardasil.  Her daughter is now quite ill with skin lesions.  She agreed to have her daughter vaccinated after THREE LETTERS FROM THE SCHOOL finally convinced her to disregard her own cautions, she has avoided the use of pharmaceuticals in her family’s health care but somehow was talked into this.  She is very upset that she permitted her values to take the back seat in this decision.  The thing that pushed her over the edge is the sell job came from the school not greedy Merck who would take the life of your daughter without blinking an eye because it is good for business.  They build the cost of lawsuits into the price of drugs and vaccinations. Man!!

MONEY, GREED AND KNOW BEST EXPERTS ARE RUINING LIVES AT A VERY FAST PACE.  RUINING FINANCIAL FUTURES AND OUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH.  That was a scream.

The Internet plays a huge roll in helping and harming us.  People of goodwill get their reputations slaughtered if they belong to a Church, if they want wellness programs in health care instead of disease programs.  If you advocate for independence and responsibility and the right to chart your own course in life you can get slaughtered with lies about your conduct.  On the other hand, the Internet provides us a voice we seldom had in the past and ways to organize and stop the nonsense and research ease.

Man, the market for magnesium must have gone way up with the increase in blood pressure lately.  Or did the market for blood pressure meds go up?

Becoming a Mom Attracts the Crazies

Please Please Please inform yourself of the Mother’s Act now under consideration in both the House and Senate.  Contact your representatives and tell them you do not want them to set up a system to screen every new and prospective Mom for mental illness.  Being a Mom is not a subcategory of crazy.  Being a Mom should not attract the psyches and the drug companies.  We need freedom from unnecessary medical costs and unnecessary peeking into our private lives.  We need freedom from drugs for every little thought we might have and every condition of living.

Personally you need a new screening  attribute added to the other qualifications you have for selecting a doctor to help you with your pregnancy and birth.  You must ask if he screens mothers for mental illness and depression.  If she/he does avoid them like the plague.  The treatment is mind altering drugs.   Those same drugs the murderous moms used when they flew into a frenzy and killed their own kids.  Look into it.

Ask most “already” Moms, they will tell you there were times after they give birth to their children they felt lonely and depressed.  I noticed a strange “emptiness” I had never experienced before some days and weeks after my son was born.  Makes sense to me.  I was empty.  After all those months of constant togetherness we were now rooms apart. Of course the normal hormonal adjustments can be very hard for some women too.  They are not mentally ill.  Being a Mom is not a set up for mental illness.

Or is it?  The world of pharmaceutical drugs is a world gone mad. They must be taking their own poisons.  Every single day of everyones’ life, if asked, or screened, you could find their qualifiers for the label of depression or any other trumphed up mental illness.  This is pure marketing and it is about to become law unless you help and tell your congress people not to vote for this measure.  Click here Now and inform yourself.

Real Health Care Reform

We desperately need a health care system to replace our disease care system. Pharmaceutical drugs lead to more drugs and and declining health and we are being misled by the pharma-medical industrial complex. Who wants to give up the best emergency care system in the world? We do not. However, when you are talking about heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and the tens of other chronic conditions heroic measures in stainless steel operating rooms are not going to help.

We need a new look and we need to take our bodies back and demand to control who we see as a physician and which treatments we select based on our knowledge and desire. You will never convince this girl that a drug is best, the least bit for the shortest amount of time is the answer. I have been there done that.  I broke my back in a car wreck and have forever been thankful and full of warm thoughts about the emergency surgeon who helped me. There was one guy though who was on the take, a neurologist who insisted that if he did not put a rod in my back I would not walk. I said watch me. I knew he would be eternally available to do surgery any day of any month because that is what he was into. He was also a money making unethical nasty guy. I walk, I talk and take advice from my now husband, the famous osteopathic physician who has been thinking outside the box for over 35 years. It is a much longer story.  The aftermath of this accident left me with digestive problems I handled four years later when I met my husband and took his advice.   The moral is be in charge of your health, realize medicine is a business and if the pharmaceutical companies could have every one of us on cholesterol lowering drugs, drugs for depression and high blood pressure they would be looking past all that for next market. They are doing that today, now, as we contemplate our health care dollars spent in the most wasteful of ways.

Chronic problems are greatly helped by a change in lifestyle, toxic exposure reduction, the correct dietary plan and supplements, organic and/or at the minimum fresh foods.

If the new administration is anything it is a chance to speak up and make sure your legislators know you want to be in  charge of your health care dollars.  If you fail to take action big government will back the expensive, unworkable system we now have and expand pharma- medical big business.  Speak up.

Melamine in Your Foods

One week the FDA says there is no safe level of melamine in foods.  Correct from our perspective since it is manufacturing product not a food.  Then… in all their scientific brilliance and desire to protect the poor public from themselves and others,  they reverse the stance because it was found in low levels in baby formulas in this country and we would not want to scare women into nursing their babies again would we???!!!   Takes us out of the work force for a few minutes a day.

Go to healthfreedom.net and read all about it in an article entitled “First It’s Not Safe, and Then It Is!  The FDA Position on Melamine May Give Us All a Case of Whiplash.”

Over the holidays buy local fresh foods and enjoy the taste, the higher nutrients levels and for heavens sake buy foods from the US, it is safer.  Please increase your use of fresh organic foods.  We make all our baked goods for the season with organic sugar, organic rice syrup, organic spelt flours or others and organic meats, eggs and produce.  Everything taste so good and we are safer.  Merry Christmas to all of you,  Coleen and Conrad

Time to consider some things over the holiday.

Alarming as it may be the press if full of news of scientists admitting to taking mind altering drugs for “cognitive enhancement”, some are on the big pharma money train.   Some are not.  Ritalin, Adderall and drugs like them carry scary side effects.  They have black box warnings of sudden death, heart attack and stroke especially for people with heart disease, never mind the murderous rages some people experience.  How do you explain to a child who has just had a stroke due to a drug prescribed to HELP them that you are sorry?  One Pennsylvania Mom had her 10 year old daughter die in her arms in the doctors office due to the prescription ADHD drug she was taking, heart attack.  Does cognitive enhancement drug use sound like a  good idea?   Read all about it on your home pages health tab.

A child of the 60’s I took 1/2 a tab of Benzedrine for spring final week, I was up for three days did all my work, slept 8 hours, felt fine and then told the person I got it from to NEVER give me that again even if I asked for it.  I knew it was too easy and I did not want to be a victim of personality in a bottle syndrome.  Most people know the devastation of speed freaks, acne, heart disease, muscle weakness, addicts, man!!!!    For a short time there are benefits and those benefits are noticed by most anyone.  Is a few days a benefit when you face addiction? Acne? Heart attacks?  Have you ever smoked marijuana and then written down all your bright ideas only to find the next day when you read them there is not one good idea on the page let alone a coherent sentence?  Drugs make you stupid. Really stupid. 

As a society how will we stand up against the horrendous drug problem our young students experience, they are attacked from all sides.  Teachers, parents, school administrators, doctors want them on meds because they have behavior problems.  There is a big sign by their school that says DRUG FREE ZONE, just another joke from the idiot adults in their lives that do not understand.  The kid pushers are everywhere.  Ask any kid in any school area and they can tell you how to get drugs in a few minutes.  The insurance companies love this because expensive as it is it is they think it is cheaper than solving the kids problem with searching diagnostics to find food sensitivities, underlying health problems, allergies, heavy metal toxicity and on and on.  Insurance companies give drug addicts prescription drugs and call it treatment for drug problems!!!  

Now they have our societies prominent SCIENTISTS saying cognitive enhancement drugs are the wave of the future, we take them already.  Not only will we lose our scientific edge as a society we will have drug induced illnesses to contend with.  Our insurance premiums pay for the drugs and then are called upon to clean up the physical mess they make with more care, more drugs to handle the side effects of the first ones.

WACKO…no other words for this.  Spend some time this holiday season and do your own research  How will taking an “attention” drug help a child who has a lead overload?  Check out the article “The Canaries Dropped from the Skies.”

WARNING FOR PARENTS,  A NEW STREET DRUG.

Did you know your kids could be smoking a perfectly legal herb that could render them psychotic?  Salvia, a form of mexican sage, is perfectly legal and being used by kids.  You tube has videos of a drug company scientist saying they do not want the DEA to take action against the plant because they are studying it for potential use as a medical drug.  The drug effects of smoking salvia is a huge threat to your family if your child may be prone to trying something.  You could have a bale of it in your car as it is perfectly legal, sage.  Dress a turkey or pick your kid off the street if you can find him after he goes psychotic.

Please look into these problems and warn parents of the kids around you.  We are helping a family now that is dealing with the devastation of salvia use. 

Advocacy of drugs and medications for every little thing needs to stop and maybe we will be able to slow the use of drugs by our kids.

Reduce Stress

Reduce Stress

In these turbulent times we want to invite you to do all you can to improve a good night’s sleep, insure you have a strong immune system, are feeling well enough to exercise and know that the quality of the food you eat has everything to do with your health and happiness.

 YOU NEED EVEN MORE… you need the knowledge that our medical center stands at the top of the heap with regards outcomes and results.  We help the toughest cases and those who know how to avoid developing health problems in the first place.  We are one of many centers in the US offering these benefits, read all about in Susanne Somers new book Breakthrough.  Our first recommendation to you is to avoid pharmaceutical drugs of all kinds.  If you must use them use them the way we do: use the smallest amount for the shortest period of time.

 Infusion therapy is offered in our center because most people have poor digestion and do not eat foods that are healthful.  While we educate you on proper dietary choices we offer treatments that deliver nutrients needed to fight disease and prevent problems in the form of intravenous treatments.  WHY? you ask.  Results.  Delivered directly into your blood stream a trouble free intravenous treatment (IV for short) is supervised by our talented nurses while you read or sleep or work on your computer or watch you personal DVDs.   Nutrients and other infusions speed recovery to normal function and help prevent symptoms of all kinds from developing to begin with.

 If you have cancer and are undergoing treatment we support you with nutrient IVs and also high dose vitamin C.  Well tolerated, high dose vitamin C is given in amounts you could not take by mouth.  No need to be digested it is immediately available to your body for nutrition but also to combat cancer directly.  Cancer Centers of America are doing an IRB on high dose vitamin C in their Chicago facility.  We have been offering this treatment to our patients for years.  Although we do not treat cancer directly we support your immune system and help you fight that much harder.  People report fewer side effects from chemotherapy combining the use of both fields of medicine.

Vitamin C intravenous treatments also fight viruses and used pre and post surgery enhance the healing process.  St. Agnes Burn Center uses IV vitamin C for this very reason to help burn victims, it speeds healing and helps prevent infection.  People with influenza, mononucleosis, upper respiratory infections, Lyme disease and liver disease all benefit under our care.  You can also use these infusions to remain healthy during high flu outbreak months. 

If you suffer from migraines, muscle spasms, asthma, heart rate irregularity, angina, menstrual cramping, constipation, Raynaud’s syndrome, esophageal spasm, back muscle spasm and intestinal spasm, you will benefit by infusions of magnesium.  The health giving properties are abounding in the medical literature and you will find many reasons to use magnesium as you research its uses.  Low energy, fatigue, weakness, inability to sleep, anxiousness, nervousness, irritability are also improved with mega doses of magnesium.  You could not take the amount in an IV by mouth as you would get diarrhea due to the muscle relaxant properties of magnesium.

 Glutathione is essential for normal liver function.  It is minimally absorbed when taken orally but when you give infusions of glutathione it supports liver function.  If you are a past drug abuser or medical drug over user this is a very important treatment to help your liver function better.  People with cancer typically have stressed liver function and benefit from this treatment.  A series of infusions of glutathione can be used in conjunction with vitamin C.  There is evidence mounting that people with severe drug reactions to fluoroquinolone antibiotics benefit a great deal by the use of glutathione. 

The king of the hill remains chelation therapy.  It is under attack again by people who are trying to stop the NIH national study which will clearly show its benefits.  The last gasp of criticism is printed by our biased media who do not understand the science of chelation therapy nor the ways it helps the body heal and prevents circulatory problems.  Inflammation lies at the bottom of most symptoms of aging, inflammation caused by heavy metals picked up and stored in the body disrupting normal function.  We have tons of clinical evidence of the benefits of chelation therapy. We have scientific studies, pre and post treatment, of our patients that clearly shows the benefits and healing properties of chelation.  Without a doubt the benefits are known by medical scientists as a whole, but the business interests of big pharma and big medicine will not give way without calling every doctor using alternative complementary medical treatments a quack.  So be it… if it gets the results, if it changes and reverses circulatory problems, as documented by diagnostics commonly used, then it must be EFFECTIVE AND HEALTHFUL!!  We have reversed circulatory problems due to diabetes that could have resulted in amputations, we have successfully treated wounds that were slow to heal, heart problems and we have helped thousands of people slow the aging process and enjoy their active lives.  

Billions of dollars spent on invasive procedures could be saved if the public was able to avail themselves of chelation therapy and other IV therapy for prevention and treatment of existing disease processes.  You do not change or stop the process of heart disease when you have a bypass surgery, the disease process continues.  Spend some time in our reception area and read the hundreds of benefits people have experienced in our center.  Patients themselves are the best testimony to health restored.  www.drmaulfair.com.

Cholesterol Lowering Drugs Warning

You know we are in trouble as a society when a pharmaceutical company recommends the use of a drug for people not only with no symptoms but who should take the drug simply because they are alive and over 18.  That is right, Crestor, the registered trademark of a cholesterol lowering drug.  Funny stuff.  Right next to the article recommending this was an article with old news that nutrients like vitamin C and others do not help avoid heart attacks or health problems.  Want to bet?

Buy and read Malignant Medical Myths by Joel M. Kauffman, Ph.D. and pharmacist.  You will find a chapter in the book on page 34 discusses the studies done on vitamin E that are being cited in bad news medical press used synthetic vitamin E and it showed no effects on health outcomes due to the fact that the study was of people already eating a “Mediterranean Diet” , on and on.

The Crestor study article went on to say that the people who participated in the study had low or no risk for heart disease and were younger.  Well…. read the study yourself and see what you think and then pick up Dr. Kauffman’s book and learn what the problems are with studies and how to read them.  Did you know the abstract will often state an outcome not born out in the data of the study itself.  It is amazing how far a drug company will go to make their market share grow and how few of us read the basis for their harmful recommendations.  They count on us to be in the dark and unwilling to take the time to do the work of research. 

Research and then decide what health care to pursue. 

We have some people in our sauna program so I am very busy these days but I will try to get to my blog more often.  Every day there is something else I want to tell you.  Coleen
