Comprehensive Medicine—Combining Natural and Prescription Therapies for Optimal Health

Although modern medicine has been a godsend for many illnesses, doctors get most of their information from journals and conferences that are paid for by the drug companies. Understandably, these companies want to pay for your doctors to learn about expensive new therapies, and are certainly not interested in teaching them about natural therapies that are much less expensive. Because of this, your doctor will often presume that there is no good scientific data supporting natural therapies, and has been trained to consider these to be quackery.

Because your doctor is only taught about expensive prescriptions, we are now seeing over 100,000 deaths a year from prescription side effects and our health-care system is on the verge of bankruptcy. In addition, millions of Americans are left unnecessarily crippled with pain, fatigue, and numerous other devastating problems which can be effectively treated using natural therapies.

In previous segments, we have discussed how numerous medical problems respond wonderfully to natural therapies. One simple example would be treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Vitamin B-6 @ 250 mg a day for 6-12 weeks plus low-dose thyroid and wrist splints costs about $70 versus $2500 for the usual surgical therapy and is highly effective. Another example is the use of an old herbal remedy called colchicine given intravenously for disc disease. In my experience, giving this once a week for six weeks is more effective than surgery. The treatment costs $18 plus the cost of starting the IV's versus over $25,000 for surgery. Its effectiveness has also been borne out in studies on over 1000 patients. Because it is very inexpensive, however, doctors are once again often not familiar with this research.

For any of you out there who are executives for health insurance companies, I would be happy to speak with you about how to dramatically improve patients' outcomes and satisfaction, while saving your companies billions of health care dollars. Fortunately, by combining the best of prescription and scientifically proven natural therapies, healthcare can be improved dramatically.
