By making healthcare free for many people it leads them to poor choices and = drives the cost up for the rest of us. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> We have developed something of a = network of healthcare professionals who seem willing to work with us to help us = make better choices. We know a chiropractor, for example, who does low cost = xrays for us if someone is injured and we suspect = a fracture. We use a nurse practitioner for routine type medical care- way = cheaper than a doctor, easy to get along with, and can do most anything a doctor = can, including stitches. We use a private hospital when we must that is more = willing to negotiate on price. Be sure to make the negotiations up front. We use = a midwife for home births- safer, cheaper, healthier, better care and it = is a wonderful spiritual experience to boot. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Eat healthy. Avoid sugars, = artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated oils (its in = everything and allows fats to move directly into your blood stream), homogenized milk (breaking up the complex fat molecules allows them to move directly into = your blood stream), white bread and other bad carbs. We take another step of eliminating all trash eating animal meats: pork, shellfish, etc. If you are a middle aged man = be sure to add Saw Palmetto (300 mg twice daily standardized extract) to your = daily vitamin regimen and you’ll likely never have prostate trouble.  <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Find an Amish farmer that uses = natural husbandry methods for his livestock. Grass fed beef has a much healthier fat = balance and gives lower blood cholesterol. Free range chicken meat and eggs likewise = has numerous health benefits. And the one we use produces delicious chicken and = turkey sausages. You may be able to find one that will sell you a share in a milk cow so = you can get natural raw milk. If you are going to drink milk = that is the only way to do it. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Of course you could just do like = most people: eat trash from the convenience store or drive thru and take = whatever drugs the HMO dr. tells you to. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> We are members of Samaritan = Ministries, <a href="http://www.samaritanministries.com/">www.samaritanministries.com<= /a>, sort of a shared expenses cooperative. It is = not insurance and it is only for those who profess to be Christian. My cost is $225 a = month to cover my whole family and my payment goes directly to people who have a = covered medical expense. The home office every month sends me the name and = address of who gets my check for the month. I feel really good every month making out = that check because I know every dime of it is going directly to someone who = really needs it.

Try to avoid denatured engineered commercially motivated food and medications like VIOXX, diet sodas, etc. In fact, avoid all conventional medications till = the doctors actually know how to fix more problems than they produce, instead of just compounding them by covering them up. Works for me -- you live till you die. I hate being poked and dosed and fussed over. I'm convinced that more than half of it shouldn't be done at all. However, I do wear the very latest version of Conrad's flamesuit ... = Susan Kline<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
