Get
Well, Stay Well
Our Cure For The Health Crisis
by William S.
Eidelman, M.D.
We have a health care
crisis in this country. Everybody knows it. We believe that an important solution is to be
found in healing
people naturally and non-toxically, then keeping them healthy.
The Crisis
Costs are spiraling.
Millions of people are losing medical insurance, and thus,
health care coverage. Health care costs represent a major and
growing portion of the increasing national debt of the United
States of America.
As "baby-boomers"
age, and their health care costs increase, according to current
estimates, the costs of their health care will far exceed funds
available.
Our solution - don't get sick.
We seem to be
fighting a losing war against a variety of different diseases.
Modern medicine has won many important individual battles, but
we are not winning the war.
Heart disease,
cancer, arthritis, AIDS, diabetes, asthma, Alzheimer's
disease... The incidence of these and other chronic diseases
seems to get worse every year.
Disease-causing
bacteria are showing resistance to our antibiotics. Viruses are
causing more diseases of increasing severity. Ebola, SARS, Bird
Flu....
More people seem to
be having allergic and hypersensitivity reactions to toxins, and
toxins are nearly ubiquitous. Indeed, people are proving
hypersensitive to many parts of our modern petrochemical world.
The end point of the medical condition is known as now usually
called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome, where the patient
seems to be allergic to almost everything.
Often, medical
treatments have side effects to rival or surpass the disease.
Iatrogenesis (medically induced illness) accounts for nearly 1/3
of hospitalizations. The November 27, 1991 issue of The
Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA,
reported the incidence of ADE, Adverse Drug Events, as being
responsible for 30% of all hospitalized patients. The report
states these ADE's are fatal for 60,000 to 140,000 patients each
year. This was confirmed in an article in the April 14,
1998, issue of JAMA, which reported that adverse drug events in U.S. hospitals
may be responsible for more than 100,000 deaths nationwide each
year, making it one of the leading causes of death.
A report in The
New England Journal of Medicine, March 12, 1981, stated that
36% of patients at a teaching hospital suffered from iatrogenic
illness. Further, 2% of these patients died. If we extend this
to all teaching hospitals, perhaps 700,000 people die each year
from drug, doctor, and hospital induced problems. This includes
the effects of such procedures as cardiac catheterization and
coronary bypass surgery.
The bottom line is
that a growing number of people are taking a growing number of
drugs, with a growing cost per drug, with a growing number of
side effects that are treated with more drugs. People are
actually getting sicker, not healthier.
Demonstrating Solutions
Natural therapies
have great potential for alleviating the health crisis. We
can lower medical costs by not being sick and by getting well
faster and at lower expense. Currently available therapies
that are showing themselves to be safe and effective cost much
less, usually, than more toxic therapies that don't necessarily
work effectively. The only downside to the
consumer/patient is that insurance doesn't pay for the natural,
safe, more effective treatments.
There are a few
simple solutions that would help a large percentage of the
population. These solutions involve some effort and
expense. Yet not doing them is far more costly in dollars
and suffering.
Here is a brief
summary/introduction to a few of my favorite therapies that
would have a dramatic impact on the health crisis by helping
many individuals:
1.
Energy Medicine Therapies:
In 1910, our government outlawed all treatments using
electromagnetism. Electromagnetism and healing were not
used in the same breath in polite society, and still today, most
people are not aware that electromagnetic therapies exist that
are very effective, even dramatically effective. Alpha-Stim
and QRS are my two personal favorite energy medicine treatments,
though there are others. Using one or both of these
therapies could provide dramatic pain relief, healing, and
improved well-being to the majority of the population.
The Alpha-Stim is nothing short of
an amazing healing technology. I've been using it in my
office for three years, during which time I've treated over a
thousand patients. It is effective in treating depression,
anxiety, insomnia, migraine,
drug addiction (including
cigarettes), fibromyalgia, and a
variety of types of pain. Its effect is often surprising,
triggering exclamations such as "amazing," "crazy," 'insane,"
among the most prominent. The
Alpha-Stim could replace a variety of
different dangerous prescription drugs. including SSRI's (such
as Prozac and Paxil) and anxiolytics (such as Valium and Xanax),
not to mention sleeping pills.
The Alpha-Stim, if used in ER's and ambulance, would
reduce hospitalizations of all kinds through it's stress and
pain reduction.
The QRS is effective in a wide-range of conditions. It is
a known prevention and cure of osteoporosis. I have seen
it reverse osteoarthritis. It is beneficial in other
connective tissue diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,
psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis. It improves
circulation. It literally energizes every cell in the body
and stimulates micro-electric currents. It relieves pain
of many kinds. It is relaxing and energizing.
Treatment requires a time commitment. Treatments run from
8 to 30 minutes one to three or four times a day, depending on
the problem. The treatment may take place laying down or
in a chair.
The QRS literally recharges the body, to help jumpstart
the healing process. People recovering from surgery or
from almost any illness requiring hospitalization would be
likely to heal faster with few complications if routinely
treated in the hospital.
Both of the above therapies are applications of tiny amounts of
pulsed electrical or magnetic energy, both with sophisticated
wave forms. While there are other devices using small
amounts of energy, I've found these more effective because of
the wave forms.
Other devices exist which use larger amounts of magnetism and
electricity. There is great promise in some applications
of high dose magnetism and high-voltage fields. One
promising technology is
LifeWave
2. Nutritional
Medicine Therapies: For those familiar with the
mushrooming data available, it can no longer be rationally doubted
that nutrients are the most effective treatments for almost
every condition. Vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty
acids are crucial for maintaining health, if you have it, and
recovering health, if you don't. Other types of
phytonutrients are also proving to be helpful, beneficial, and
even curative.
There are many
websites dedicated to this burgeoning field. In fact,
there is too much information, difficult to evaluate and sort.
Much information is conflicting. Often, our
supposed-authorities make totally false statements, presumably
without realizing their errors. Indeed, nutritional
medicine is the course missing from medical school and residency
trainings. This website will introduce my favorite
nutritional therapies garnered from my many years of practice.
We'll offer you the opportunity to try them out and let us know
how they work. This section is
in development. Check back in a couple of days..... |
