I believe I am alive today because of my naturopath's suggested supplements and not the “rat poison” my doctor wanted me to take for the rest of my life.
I’ve been taking supplements and using natural healing methods for 35 years, and haven’t really needed a doctor for 20 years. I am now a lively, healthy 71 year old.
What I don’t understand is why Whole Foods would not benefit from a plan which, if I understand part of it correctly, will encourage healthy life style (including diet) counseling and education. This should make them more money, not less. I too would like to know more about provisions in the plans that would include use of supplements and non AMA healers. It is really important that whatever we end up with health plan wise, doctors be compensated for educating their patients regarding nutrition, exercise, and aging issues. Of course this could be done by their employees for more time given at the same cost.
Amen. I agree.
Amen to that. “Rat Poison.”
