First
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
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
question is: are there other options? For instance, is there a way to "insure" against getting sick in
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
U.S. has some of
best-trained, dedicated physicians in
world, heart disease, cancer, strokes, and autoimmune diseases are all on
rise.
Clearly, our health isn't being protected - at least not to an appreciable extent. The medical paradigm in
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
shortcomings of
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
news. Check it out on
net. It's a fact.
OK. So everyone knows there's a problem. Again,
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
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
way, nothing I was taking before then was helping my heart condition). After a few months,
condition went away. It hasn't returned since.
