You can actually mix some peroxide with baking soda. You want to mix it where it is just like tooth paste and brush away. It doesn’t taste too good but it works really well!

Pros of Health Care Reform: You Might Actually Get and Stay Healthy

With the 2010 mid-term elections behind us, we will undoubtedly be hearing renewed debate over the health care reform bill. Few in the media actually talk about the pros of health care reform. However, the good thing coming out of all of this free speech and debate is that there seems to be a greater focus on actually promoting health rather than promoting staying sick.

In the past, health care was about doctors keeping us healthy. In recent decades, doctors have had less and less time to spend consulting patients on lifestyle habits to improve health. Through no fault of their own, the few minutes that they have to spend with patients is usually reduced to looking at some numbers on a chart and prescribing the appropriate medication. Sometimes the advice of “eat right and exercise” is given while the doctor walks out the door. The patient is left thinking that medications are the only option.

The overwhelming amount of medications these days are prescribed for overweight-related diseases such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Because the patient hasn’t learned healthier habits through taking medication alone, the patient is actually getting sicker each year. All of a sudden, the patient is on multiple medications. Over decades, major health issues and surgery for back pain, knee pain, heart blockages, and diabetes-related eye and foot problems is the common result.

The other result is that as the population gets sicker, the demand for subsidized medicines and surgeries increases. There has even been talk about subsidizing weight loss surgery! Health care costs increase not only for the patient, but for everyone. This is unfortunate, because in most cases these diseases are completely preventable with proper nutrition.

If the discussion over the cons and pros of health care reform has done anything, it has brought this issue closer to the forefront. Prevention is not quite at the top of everyone’s list, but it is getting there.

Let’s pretend that the government completely overhauled the health care system, with the focus on keeping people healthy rather than helping them stay sick. Where might the tax dollars that would have otherwise funded medications and surgeries go?

The government invests money not in farm subsidies for large farms, but in small family farms so that everybody can have access to fresh, healthy local produce and meats
The government invests money in community-based health coaches who offer private coaching to people committed to getting and staying healthy despite the obesity-promoting world around them
The government mandates that insurance companies provide coverage for alternative healthcare practitioners such as chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopathic and homeopathic doctors, etc.

These examples could end up on the “pros of health care reform list” if there were enough demand from the American people. Americans are getting more overweight and obese every year, and clearly the current health care system has been complicit in promoting this cycle of sickness and money spent on keeping people sick, otherwise we wouldn’t be in this situation. It’s like pouring money into a never-ending funnel of sickness!

Hopefully the recent elections will reignite debate as to how best our health care dollars our spent. If the government shifts its focus from putting money into managing sickness to investing in a healthy America, Americans would be happier being healthier and wealthier.

I’m looking for the best way to treat hemorrhoids without surgery.

I’ve got a dog who has very bad allergies. Don’t worry she has been to the vet and continues to have regular visits, she is on medication and I have a special shampoo I’ve been washing her with. She has had the allergies for three years and her prior owner’s vet used steroids several times to clear them up, right now she isn’t on them and I think my vets waiting to see how these current meds and shampoo work. They are doing okay but the problem is every time she is alone she itches like crazy and licks her paws so she basically undoes any healing that has occurred. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with homeopathic or natural remedies for itching and had good results. She is on fish oil and omega 3 supplements and is also 10mg of claritin, she doesn’t seem uncomfortable when she is with us, the obsessive itching and licking only happens when she is by herself. I was looking at products by PetAlive but I’m afraid to waste my money, need some more personal experiences.
We know she has food allergies, she is currently on Natural Balance allergy formula Fish and Sweet Potato, no chicken or beef or fillers for that matter.
