First the bad news: about 2,000,000 personal
bankruptcies each year are caused by unexpected medical expenses.
Of all those people, 1,500,000 have (or had) health insurance
before they ran into difficult financial straights.
But wait a minute. Isn't the whole idea behind health insurance
- security? The financial security that comes from knowing that
you're covered if something goes wrong with your body? You say
you're covered, but what if your medical "situation" exceeds your
policy limits? Then what?
No one wants that to happen, so the question is: are there other
options? For instance, is there a way to "insure" against getting
sick in the first place? Most people assume that's not possible,
but personally, I disagree.
Several years ago my wife Sandy and I stumbled onto a very unusual
health product. We both had our own experiences with it and have
seen it work miracles for others.
But before going there, I'd like to explain something. To me,
health insurance should be about staying healthy. In China, for
instance, doctors used to be paid only if they kept you healthy.
That's what I call real health insurance. And although the U.S.
has some of the best-trained, dedicated physicians in the world,
heart disease, cancer, strokes, and autoimmune diseases are all
on the rise.
Clearly, our health isn't being protected - at least not to an
appreciable extent. The medical paradigm in the U.S. is mostly
about treating symptoms, not fostering health. And while we're
all very grateful to doctors for all their efforts, symptom treatment
is intrinsically short-sighted.
If symptom treatment was effective in restoring health, people
would be getting well and staying well. But that's not what usually
happens.
There's a growing movement of people who've recognized the shortcomings
of the traditional medical/pharmaceutical "health" model. They're
not stupid. For instance: 106,000 annual deaths from properly
prescribed prescription drugs sure got my attention when I heard
the news. Check it out on the net. It's a fact.
OK. So everyone knows there's a problem.
Again, the question is: are there options out there and if so,
what are they?
As I was saying earlier, there is an option. I can say that because
I have personal proof. Four years ago, I was diagnosed with a
heart condition called atrial fibrillation. It wasn't painful
per se, but the irregular, spasmodic poundings inside my chest
were very disconcerting.
My wife Sandy and I were in Maui when a friend of ours told us
about something called glyconutrition. Now, I'm a fairly open-minded
kind of a guy and I've been interested in health supplements for
a long time, so I decided to try it. (By the way, nothing I was
taking before then was helping my heart condition). After a few
months, the condition went away. It hasn't returned since.
Sandy also had a positive health reversal. She was in a lot of
pain from neck surgery she'd had seven years earlier. She also
decided to try the glyconutrients. It took a little longer for
her, but her pain subsided and surgery was avoided.
My point in telling you these two stories is that we saved a ton
of money and who knows how much pain and suffering by not having
to undergo surgery. I don't know if my atrial fibrillation would
have led to a worsening condition requiring surgery, but I do
know that Sandy was considering a second neck surgery before we
heard about glyconutrients.
Since then, we've learned a lot more about the science behind
glyconutrients and why this new category of nutrient is turning
around so many health conditions for so many people.
Even highly trained medical doctors and surgeons are taking notice.
Case in point: Dr. Ben Carson is the department head of pediatric
neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. A severe form of
prostate cancer led him to discover glyconutrients. Long story
short: he attributes to them his complete recovery. He now recommends
glyconutrients to all his patients, to his staff and others as
well.
Without going into a lot of complicated detail, science now has
a pretty good idea about why glyconutrients seem to be helping
so many different kinds of health conditions. The bottom line
is this: enhanced cell-to-cell communication.
Glyconutrients provide the body with highly specialized building
blocks that the body transforms into communication molecules that
all cells use. Without an adequate supply of these molecules,
communication starts to break down and illness starts to creep
in.
The reason glyconutritional supplements are so effective is this:
our diets suck. Let me explain. If we got all the nutrients we
needed in our diet, we'd rarely get ill. By the way, the scientific
evidence to support that statement is huge.
But because 90 percent of the food we eat is processed (devoid
of essential, health-promoting nutrients) and for a number of
other reasons, we're not getting the nutritional build blocks
our bodies need in order to stay disease-free.
Bottom line: understand the powerful relativity between the nutrients
we consume and the state of our health.
So to reiterate - there are options for warding off illness and
medically related bankruptcy. Just don't look for them in the
current medical - pharmaceutical - health insurance paradigm.
Look for them in the emerging science of glycobiology - the same
science that's starting to describe the cellular mechanisms behind
the major health recoveries that thousands of glyconutrient users
are now reporting.
