A Christmas Health Care Wish List
by Steve Thompson
When Christmas approaches, people like to dream about what they would like to find under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. In this case, let’s take a broader view and dream about things that would be useful to find under the health Christmas tree. There is one wish for each of the twelve days of Christmas. Unfortunately, the wishes can’t be sung to the Christmas song of the same name. Read the rest of this entry »
Clinical Trial System Side Effect: Waste Of Money
by Steve Thompson
I have written many times about the long, ponderous clinical trial system which is good for preventing bad medicine from reaching the public, but no help for people needing immediate relief from suffering. The long process which can take decades before a much needed new product is available to the public also has a negative side effect: waste of money. Once again the best example of this is the chelation remedy which has been in the clinical trial system for eight years and won’t have a report made on the results until next year. It had better get complete and unequivocal approval or more waste of large sums of money can be expected. Read the rest of this entry »
End The Phase System
by Steve Thompson
The way new medications are introduced into the health care system, the process can drag on indefinitely and decades can pass between when the new medication first enters the testing phase and when it is finally accepted as “fact”. On the plus side, the process is designed to prevent any more thalidomides, or reverse reactions by Doctor Frankenstein, and Doctor Jekyll. But the system is just too cumbersome and costly to help anyone right away. Hearing that there are new discoveries in medicine that can possibly heal an ailment and save a life isn’t much comfort when it’s found out that the new drug or practice won’t be implemented until two decades have passed. It won’t end the pain that somebody feels right now. Read the rest of this entry »
The Fountain Of Youth Is Coming
by Steve Thompson
Many people wonder where medicine is heading to in the next decades. Perhaps it can be summed up by the phrase, live longer, live healthier, and live younger. Restoration may be the key word. There was an article in a Toronto newspaper about recent experiments with stem cells and predictions that they will be used to regenerate damaged organs and cells. In most cases, regenerative therapy is in its infancy, experimented with in places like China. A few years ago, two sisters who had become quadriplegics because of an automobile accident went to China and received some stem cell therapy. They can now move a little more than they could before. But it’s obvious that much more has to be discovered before spinal cord injuries can be fully overcome.
People Don’t Trust Themselves About Health Care Because Of The Nature Of The Holy
by Steve Thompson
When it comes to treating themselves whenever anyone feels ill, if an over-the-counter medicine doesn’t work, most people will go to a doctor/physician/consultant, for help instead of taking further steps on their own to get well, and in most cases, they will follow the advice that is given to them by the “expert”. But these experts are not infallible. In my own case, when I was diagnosed with a blockage, if I had continued to obey a doctor, I would have probably had some kind of open heart surgery. Instead, thanks to living in the age of the Internet, I was able to do research and discover a remedy, made in Minnesota that claimed to remove heart plaque and only had diarrhea as a side effect. This chelation remedy worked; I started feeling better in 16 hours, cleaned out my entire body, not just the heart area, and I escaped a serious operation. Read the rest of this entry »
There Will Be No Break-Throughs In Medicine Until A Thorough Reform Is Made
by Steve Thompson
A few years ago there was talk about break-throughs in major diseases like diabetes, and arthritis. For eons, people have talked about curing cancer without having to use radiation and chemotherapy. The late Terry Fox ran across Canada in hopes that something would be done. So why hasn’t there been any significant progress? Read the rest of this entry »
Coronary Heart Disease Cure Being Covered Up By Protocol And Fear Tactics
By Steve Thompson
Coronary heart disease is the most deadly killer across North America and it can strike at any time, at any age.
Three years ago, I had my worst nightmare come true; I was diagnosed with both main branches of heart disease, coronary heart disease and heart failure. After feeling ill with what I thought was gerd, I went for an examination, where it was disclosed I had a heart problem.
Further tests of an echo cardio-gram, chest x-ray, and heart imaging detected a possible blockage somewhere. I was scheduled for angiogram to find the location and size of the blockage a month and half later.
Coronary heart disease usually means two alternatives; open heart surgery, involving a by-pass operation, or the insertion of a stent, or death. Read the rest of this entry »
