A New Look On An Old Way Of Thinking Of Alternative Medicine

This is a possible help for health mechanism as I call it for the uninsured...in other words, take care of yourself so that you do not have to worry about being insured.               Alternative health options include anything from herbs used to treat sunburns to using acupuncture for controlling excruciating pain.  It’s been around in one form or another for thousands of years and its beginnings are generally attributed to the Chinese.             Traditional Chinese medicine asserts that the…See More

Politically Perfect Legislation

 I am one of those jaded souls who long ago gave up hope that Congress would ever do anything right.  But I now stand corrected as our leaders have indeed crafted the epitome of politically perfect legislation.  Part of our new health law contains a provision for sick people who can’t get insurance anywhere else.  Unfortunately it has been dead on arrival. After one year, less than 1/10th of 1%...21,000 out of an estimated 25M uninsured people with cancer, heart disease and diabetes have…See More

The Downward Spiral - Health Issues & Foreclosures...

As TIME Moneyland's Brad Tuttle reported:[F]or every increase of 100 foreclosures in a zip code, there's a corresponding rise in health issues for people in the normally healthy age group of 20 to 49: an 8.1% increase in diabetes, 7.2% more ER visits and hospitalizations for hypertension, and 12% more visits to doctors related to anxiety. A rise in foreclosures was also associated with a 39%…See More

Flushed Down the Doughnut Hole?

Seniors caught in the Medicare Part D coverage gap known as the doughnut hole are twice as likely to stop taking their medication, a new study found.  Penny wise and pound foolish?  One more indication that financial conditions carry great weight in health decisions and could be causing health issues that create more cost than it would take to close the doughnut hole gap.  Sigh, will we ever learn?…See More

Cancer Drug Shortages

Maybe "wine", I mean doctors, dont get older with age...

Wow, I just love statistics.  Give me a good set of data and I'll prove whatever you want.Here's a story in the American Journal of Medicine about older physicians' patients having a higher length of hospital stay and higher mortality rate.  Makes you stop and think...maybe the conventional wisdom about going to experienced docs is all wrong!  These statistics would imply that younger physicians with less than 5 years experience are the ones to see.Hmmm, on the other hand, considering that if I…See More
