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.
