A True Tale of Canadian Health Care: Why some patients need to go to the U.S. for surgery

admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 05:42:56 +0000

Many advocates of health-care reform are admirers of Canada’s state-run, no-opt-out, single-payer system. Indeed, in 2003, President Barack Obama voiced enthusiasm for such a health-care program.

Proponents of Canadian-style health care should meet Cheryl Baxter, a Canadian citizen who waited years for hip-replacement surgery, only to be told that her operation would not happen any time soon. Instead of waiting, Baxter did what an increasing number of Canadians are doing: She flew to a clinic in the United States, paid out of pocket, and had a life-altering surgery in a matter of weeks rather than years.

Baxter’s experience doesn’t just throw damning light on Canadian health care. The sort of clinic she went to in Oklahoma suggests a different way of delivering health care in the United States, too: A simple fee-for-service model in which providers openly advertise their prices, service, and reputation. Rather than a frustrating, complicated mess of intermediaries such as employers and insurance companies, U.S. health-care reformers should think about bringing medicine into line with the same dynamics that help deliver great service at great prices throughout most other parts of the economy.

While Canadian health care is certainly cheaper than its U.S. counterpart (health care spending in Canada is about 10 percent of GDP versus 16 percent in the United States), it is not necessarily better or more equitable. As a recent National Bureau of Economic Research comparison concluded, “Americans are more likely to report that they are fully satisfied with the health services they have received and to rank the quality of care as excellent.” Not only do Americans have far greater access to basic diagnostic tools ranging from mammograms to CT scans, the researchers found “the health-income gradient is actually more prominent in Canada than in the U.S.” That is, wealthy Canadians receive far better care compared to low-income Canadians than rich Americans versus poor Americans.

“A True Tale of Canadian Health Care” was produced by Dan Hayes and Peter Suderman. Interviews were filmed by Alex Manning and the segment is hosted and scripted by Nick Gillespie. Approximately 5.11 minutes.

Reason.tv would like to thank the Independence Institute for arranging and underwriting travel to Canada for Suderman and Manning.

Alan Russell: Why can’t we grow new body parts?

admin — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 07:48:10 +0000

http://www.ted.com Alan Russell studies regenerative medicine — a breakthrough way of thinking about disease and injury by helping the body to rebuild itself. He shows how engineered tissue that “speaks the body’s language” has helped a man regrow his lost fingertip, how stem cells can rebuild damaged heart muscle, and how cell therapy can regenerate the skin of burned soldiers. This new, low-impact medicine comes just in time, Russell says — our aging population, with its steeply rising medical bills, will otherwise (and soon) cause a crisis in health care systems around the world. Some graphic medical imagery.

Jamkhed CRHP Village Health Worker

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 05:36:45 +0000

(visit www.jamkhed.org for more information)

The Village Health Worker (VHW) acts as the local agent of positive health and social change. She is selected by her community and receives training in health, community development and organization, communication skills, and personal development from CRHP. Her primary role is to freely share the knowledge she obtains with everyone in the community, to organize community groups and to facilitate action, especially among women, the poor and marginalized. At the outset, many of these VHWs were often illiterate women from the untouchable (Dalit) caste. The concept and utilization of the VHW has been internationally recognized and often emulated for its dramatic positive impact on public health at the community level.

VHW training was designed to empower these often oppressed women by increasing their knowledge, building skills, and demystifying medicine so as to truly put health in the people’s hands. The initially high rates of diseases and premature deaths in the area were primarily linked to malnutrition, water-borne diseases resulting in diarrhea and infections, untreated communicable diseases, lack of family planning, and harmful superstitious beliefs and practices. The training these women received opened a doorway for effective, locally-managed and relatively simple interventions to halt this vicious cycle that was causing so much pain and suffering.

The VHWs, working entirely as volunteers, became empowered by learning skills with which to earn a living through micro-enterprise. As community acceptance and trust in these VHWs began to grow so did the health of their villages. As individual villages dramatically improved their quality of life and overall level of health, other villages came forward asking to participate.

Several of the Village Health Workers trained by CRHP have been invited to address international conferences on public health. An example is Muktabai, who became an exemplary health worker and had an opportunity to speak at an international conference held in Washington DC, USA. A bit of her experience is given below: In a huge conference hall in Washington DC, over a thousand participants listen with rapt attention to Muktabai Pol, a village health worker from Jamkhed, India. The listeners include officials from WHO and UNICEF, ministers of health, health professionals and representatives of universities from many parts of the world. Muktabai shares her experience of providing primary health care in a remote Indian village. She concludes her speech by pointing to the glittering lights in the hall. “This is a beautiful hall, and the shining chandeliers are a treat to watch,” she says. “One has to travel thousands of miles to come to see their beauty. The doctors are like these chandeliers, beautiful and exquisite, but expensive and inaccessible.” She then pulls out two wick lamps from her purse. She lights one. “This lamp is inexpensive and simple, but unlike the chandeliers, it can transfer its light to another lamp.” She lights the other wick lamp with the first. Holding up both lamps in her outstretched hands, she says, “I am like this lamp, lighting the lamp of better health. Workers like me can light another and another and thus encircle the whole earth. This is Health for All.” The audience rises to its feet in a standing ovation.

Jordan Rubin’s (founder of ‘Garden of Life, Inc.’) Natural Health Testimony

admin — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 11:24:35 +0000

In 1994, Jordan Rubin was a healthy, active 19 year-old college student, when he was diagnosed with Crohn’s colitis, a sometimes fatal “wasting disease” characterized by long-term inflammation of the bowel.

As in most chronic conditions, Jordan’s immune system began to fail. He suffered from intestinal parasites, severe Candida, extreme anemia, food allergies, diabetes, excruciating abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, poor circulation, liver problems, chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, insomnia, hair loss, prostate and bladder infections, irregular heartbeat, eye inflammation, and chronic depression. Jordan’s weight dropped from 180 lbs to a low of 104 lbs at a height of 6′1″. Jordan visited over 70 health professionals from more than 7 countries and tried more than 300 supplements; however, his illness did not respond to conventional or complimentary medical approaches.

In 1996, after a two-year battle, Jordan stopped using all supplements, ceased visiting doctors and began an intense study of nutrition. His diet consisted of nothing but whole, living, enzyme and probiotic rich foods and one nutritional compound he later named HSO’s™ or Homeostatic Soil Organisms™. In Jordan’s case, the HSO’s™ detoxified his intestinal tract, increased his ability to absorb nutrients from food, and boosted his immune system. Moreover, the HSO’s™ turned really agressive against pathological molds, yeasts, fungi, and parasites of all types, which permeated his gut.

Within four months, Jordan’s weight returned and his body began to heal itself. It has been six years since his recovery, and he exhibits no symptoms of the disease that almost took his life. Jordan is now a certified nutritional consultant, certified personal fitness instructor, and CEO and Founder of Garden of Life, Inc. He is now dedicated to sharing with you the health secrets that brought him “back to life”.

Jordan earned the designation as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine from Peoples University of the Americas School of Natural Medicine, and most recently earned a PhD in Nutrition from Academy of Natural Therapies. He is also a Certified Nutritional Consultant, a member of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, and a member of the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He resides in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with his wife, Nicole.
