5 Ways To Fix Healthcare In The United States

Dr. John Reizer

By Dr. John Reizer

If the American government truly wanted to fix healthcare for its citizens, it could absolutely do so. With 5 changes in the structure of US law, people living in America could be far removed from the burdens of astronomical health care costs as well as a medical profession that for all intents and purposes has never worked properly in the long term management of diseases.

Here are 5 things that could be done:

  1. New legislation must be introduced and passed that changes the way medical research is being performed. As long as “for profit pharmaceutical companies” are running the show and allowed to overrun the medical arena with fabricated research studies that open the doors for toxic drugs to be produced and dispensed to the entire population base, people will continue to stay sick. No diseases will ever be eradicated!
  2. Medical research is a joke and in most instances is nothing more than pharmaceutical companies paying for a desired result they desperately want published concerning a specific drug they are pedaling. New laws must be passed that prevent these companies from overseeing said research. The corruption taking place with regards to medical research is mind-blowing.
  3. Make it illegal for pharmaceutical companies to advertise their products directly to the American healthcare consumer via television, radio and print media products.
  4. Get rid of private health insurance companies! Obamacare, Trumpcare, and any other health insurance products should be terminated immediately. Every US citizen from birth until death should be covered by the American Medicare System. And none of the 80% coverage nonsense should be tolerated. If you go to a doctor, hospital, dentist, or any other licensed healthcare provider, the bill should be covered by the government. There should be one healthcare payer, and his name should be Uncle Sam. Fund the program through the taxes already being collected.
  5. Legislation should be introduced and passed that makes it illegal for the pharmaceutical industry to lobby the federal government. Take the profit out of disease management and we will begin to see a medical system that has a new set of goals. The federal government needs to fund real research that is attempting to find a way to eliminate various disease. It needs to eliminate the research template currently in place that ensures diseases will be managed through eternity and never cured.

If we can’t invest our resources in the health and well being of American citizens, what’s the point of anything else?

TECH NECK: IT CAN BE A LOT MORE SERIOUS THAN PEOPLE THINK

If you’re like most people in the modern world, you probably have a mobile phone and spend a good portion of your daily routine looking down at the device’s screen. Nowadays, most mobile phones are actually handheld computers that provide us with numerous apps that make our lives a lot easier to manage.

We use handheld electronic devices to communicate with people, manage bank accounts, pay bills, accept payment from others, entertainment purposes, and so many other things that I am leaving out for the sake of keeping this post reasonably short. The point I am making is that the average person in today’s world is regularly staring down at a mobile phone. We’re using handheld devices for far too many hours each day and certainly a lot longer than anyone could have ever imagined.

As a practitioner of chiropractic, I have been seeing a large number of patients each week that have a condition known as Tech Neck. Tech Neck is simply pain and stiffness experienced in the cervical spine and it’s caused from constantly looking down at handheld electronic devices. Common symptoms of this condition are neck soreness, decreased range of motion in the cervical spine, headaches, shoulder pain, and numbness and tingling in the arms.

Looking down at a handheld device for countless hours during the course of a day can lead to serious damage to the cervical spine. When the spine is set in a fixed position for extended periods of time, the paraspinal muscles that surround the neck and upper back can go into spasm. This can cause individual vertebral segments to become slightly misaligned from one another which can cause impingements of the cervical spinal nerves that control the functions of human physiology.

Many people falsely believe that pain and loss of range of motion in the neck and upper back caused from constantly staring down at a cell phone is not a serious problem. Truth be told, spinal misalignments in the neck and upper back can lead to degenerative arthritis in the same spinal regions as well as systemic diseases throughout the body. In addition, the intervertebral discs that exist between the various spinal segments can also become permanently damaged as a result of prolonged spinal misalignments.

Spinal nerves that run up and down the length of the human backbone are extensions of the brain and spinal cord. Electronic messages that run through delicate nerve fibers in afferent and efferent directions (to and from the brain and its targeted physiological endpoints) are placed in a compromised situation when pressure is exerted upon them from misaligned spinal bones. Nerve fibers can quickly lose their abilities to transmit the brain’s messages properly and this can lead to a state of poor health from a physiological standpoint.

Remember to set and respect time limits with regards to using handheld electronic devices. Take plenty of breaks during the course of each day and if your neck is getting sore and you feel tense, turn off your device and stretch for a few minutes.

Every person should also make an appointment with a qualified doctor of chiropractic to have a spinal examination performed several times a year. Spinal misalignments that can be quite devastating to any person’s health can be corrected in a matter of minutes by a spinal adjustment.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!

2009 Scientific Study Proves Traditional Chiropractic’s Major Premise!

For many years, traditional chiropractic’s major premise (an improperly functioning nervous system, due to a spinal subluxation (misalignment) will cause human beings to have a less than optimal expression of health) has been attacked by mainstream medicine. Regardless of the fact that numerous scientific studies have been conducted by medical researchers that clearly demonstrate the extreme importance of neurological and endocrine integrity in a living person; the chiropractic practice objective is still not taken seriously.

As a practitioner of chiropractic, I have dedicated a good portion of my professional career to the arduous task of attempting to educate my patients about the importance of getting their spines checked on a regular basis.

Although my career as a chiropractor has been very rewarding for me personally, it’s also been an exhausting experience in some ways. To have to continuously go against the conventional mindset of the average health care consumer is not always an enjoyable exercise. When just about every person perceives you as a circle and you’re a square, it can definitely get on your nerves after awhile.

Most people think of traditional chiropractic as something that is less than scientific; a drugless therapy for back pain; or a strange form of massage. Traditional chiropractic, of course, has nothing to do with any of those preconceived, public notions. To begin with, traditional chiropractic is based on very scientific principles, has nothing to do with back pain, and is a completely distinct and separate profession from massage therapy.

It’s not difficult to understand traditional chiropractic theory, it’s just damn inconvenient for everyone involved to change a societal paradigm that directly affects the health and well being of every person on the planet. And I’m not even getting into the financial considerations that are involved with changing such a paradigm.

How do you break the news to the average person that they’ve been continuously lied to throughout their lives? How do you explain to people that the best way to affect healthy changes in their bodies is by removing interferences that can and do impede their true expressions of physiology? And finally, how do you drive the point home that synthetically patented drugs, although they can alter the way you feel, can never provide a human being with a better expression of health?

In 2009, a scientific study was published by The Endocrine Society ® titled, “Endocrine –Disrupting Chemicals.” The premise and conclusion of the study demonstrated that certain chemicals we commonly encounter, in our environment and foods, have the abilities to interfere with the human endocrine system. The endocrine system is responsible for regulating and controlling the many hormones in our bodies. It is the chemical messaging system that ensures proper human physiology occurs.

A breakdown or interference in the endocrine system would cause all sorts of problems to occur in an otherwise healthy person. Whenever interference occurs in our body, physiology suffers. Things like cancer and autoimmune disorders begin to show up and healthy people become unhealthy.

The study that was conducted by The Endocrine Society ® speaks volumes about the importance of the nervous system and also traditional chiropractic. Our nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves) regulates and controls the functions of the endocrine system as well as every other system inside us.

The 2009 study proves, quite convincingly, what traditional chiropractic has been practicing and stating for well over a hundred years; an important factor leading to proper health can be easily achieved by simply removing a type of interference from the human nervous system that commonly occurs in the form of a spinal misalignment, also known as a vertebral subluxation.

Regularly visiting a chiropractor to have your spine’s alignment checked, not just because you have back pain, can improve your health drastically. Understand from this point forward that the integrity of your spine’s alignment is of paramount importance to your health. And if it wasn’t for the fact that this structural problem, which occurs in every human being from time to time, generates zero revenue for pharmaceutical companies, you’d see it advertised on the evening news. The sad truth is that because it doesn’t promote Big Pharma’s agenda, it’s disregarded by “science” and made to look “unscientific.”

Be sure you read the study, linked above, in order to gain a better understanding about how important our nervous system really is when it comes to maintaining a proper level of health.

Are Heartworms and Big Pharma Squeezing the Life Out of Your Wallet?

If you’re like most canine owners, you probably love your dogs very much and want these family members to be as healthy as possible. Pet adoption is a serious responsibility and quite often the bond between an animal and human can last for a very long time.

Being a dog owner, I can certainly identify with the many responsibilities associated with caring for pets. And over the years, I’ve had to bring my dogs to the vet for a number of reasons. In an emergency situation, a good veterinarian can mean the difference between an animal surviving and dying. But the same animal, health care specialists that can save your pet’s life, in an emergency scenario, can potentially decrease their overall level of health while trying to prevent them from acquiring diseases and parasitic infections.

I believe that many people fail to realize dogs, and other animals, have natural defenses against diseases, parasites, and a whole host of other biological opportunists they regularly come into contact with. If you listen to the marketing strategies of Big Pharma, and the companies that peddle their related products/services, you might think your beloved canine would instantly drop dead without being regularly immunized and safeguarded with monthly heartworm medicines.

The truth be told, all animals, including your pet, have naturally functioning immune systems that protect them against diseases and parasites. In spite of what you might have heard, read or viewed, through the mediums of radio, television, and print media, many commonly accepted animal health practices, that attempt to prevent diseases, could be weakening your pet’s natural immune system.

According to Dr. Jeffrey Levy, a veterinarian out of Williamsburg, Massachusetts, a lot of unnecessary fear and anxiety have been placed into the psyche of dog caretakers. Dr. Levy writes, “…allopathic attitudes have instilled in many of us a fear of disease, fear of pathogens and parasites, fear of rabies, as if these are evil and malicious entities just waiting to lay waste to a naive and unprotected public…” While Dr. Levy believes that in certain situations drugs might be justifiable concerning heartworms, he personally embraces a more holistic strategy when caring for his own pet. On his website he writes, “For what it’s worth, I never gave my dog any type of heartworm preventive, even when we lived in the Santa Cruz area where heartworms were very prevalent. I tested him yearly, and he never had a problem.”

Just as they do with human beings, pharmaceutical companies make billions of dollars manufacturing and distributing extremely toxic poisons for domesticated animals. The toxic vaccines and monthly heartworm preventive products actually weaken your pet’s immune system over time and make them more susceptible to diseases and parasites that exist within their natural environment.

While Big Pharma would like you to believe that heartworms are waiting around every corner to squeeze the life out of your dog’s heart, the reality of the situation is that this is not true. What’s actually being squeezed is the pet owner’s wallet. And it’s absolutely unnecessary. Some very knowledgeable people  have gone on record, over the years, stating that the heartworm scam is a billion dollar industry.

As always, when Big Pharma has its “paws” in the game, the health and best interests of patients are not a top priority. This applies to human beings as well as man’s best friend.

One has to seriously wonder how animals that live in the wild can continue to survive so well despite being constantly exposed to natural parasites and opportunistic pathogens. And remember, they don’t have access to vaccines and monthly preventive pharmaceutical products.

What do you think about this subject?
