Integrating Benefits, Boosting Health Freedom
Can the training of patients into natural shoppers fix the Chronic Disease epidemic & convert them into Advocates against the HealthCartel?
I just hosted what probably makes one of the most important National Health Federation, monthly Health Freedom Brainstorms.
It didn’t focus on any of our numerous legislative campaigns - all variously attacking the real epidemic, CHRONIC disease, as I presented when interviewed by former AAPS President Marilyn Singleton, MD, JD, here:
Rather, the subject of the NHF zoom only indirectly touched on the political effort for health freedom. Directly, four entrepreneurs in the health benefit space explained their ventures to insert more natural care into the delivery of health services.
The question was whether we could convert the newly trainied patients and providers to join our political fight against the special interests barring all the natural treatments we seek.
The reason this conversion makes such an important goal is because we need more advocates, as well as a better health benefits system.
Here was NHF’s August zoom on…
“Building Healthfreedom Grassroots from Integrated Benefits Patients & Healers”:
So can we recruit from the huge health benefits world patients newly educated on natural care? I asked this question in our monthly zoom for August:
Impact Health’s Mark Aubry said “absolutely”, that his conversion of mainstream doctors into integrated healers has at its core a mission to improve health. And improving health is so important, given mainstream healthcare’s failure to stem the inexorable rise in chronic disease from 10% of the population in 1990 to over 50% by 2010. (I substacked when Trump joined RFK in calling for prioritization of the real epidemic: chronic disease).
Another guest, Pam Nygaard of Genexy Health, is continuing the work of the late Dr. Charles Bens, who gained fame marketing the Functional Assessment created by Bastyr University’s Joe Pizzorno. Pam has employees insert their blood, DNA and local environmental toxins into a score that teaches patients to seek natural treatment and better diets to avoid disease. Dentist Mark McCord sees the mouth as a key to health, and wants practices to integrate around this approach to natural health. Finally, Medical Cost Sharing innovator Tim Hirsch pays patients to visit what are called “functional” doctors.
Sharing itself helps the market by offering competition to insurance companies, and creating cash patients - mandatory to get control of medical inflation. But getting families into the door of functional doctors really will educate them about alternatives to allopathic, pill-pushing. But can these market integrations cajole the newly-educated patients into health freedom advocates?
We need more advocates because it’s hard to pass laws in legislatures for health freedom. Look at:
NHF’s campaigns to restore vaxx manufacturers’ injury liability, and for a federal vaccine exemption and disease outcome comparisons between the vaxxed and unvaxxed - we need more pressure on politicians to originailly cosponsor the bills pending introduction by Reps. Jackson and Miller, respectively.
NHF’s proposed bill to monitor and mitigate Wireless Radio Frequency Microwave Radiation emissions - we need more advocates requesting introduction by their politicians
NHF’s proposal to exempt from licensing any worker (including medical professionals) following duly-registered certification criteria
NHF’s proposal to expand tax-advantaged Health Saving Accounts for nutritional supplement expenses and more patient shopping
Appropriations riders to protect homeopathy from FDA pre-approval requirements, defund the WHO and ban edible vaccine research.
NHF’s proposal for a Medical Freedom Amendment - and abolition of the FDA, NIH, CDC and HHS (each of which merely duplicates similar efforts both privately or in the 50 states).
Often it’s really about defeating bills that threaten health freedom, to wit:
Big Telecom’s about to get their dream law to ignore local government limits on placement of Wireless Antennas; Big Ag’s about to get the same - via the Farm Bill - preempting local organic requirements to protect humans from carcinogenic pesticides
Big Pharma’s about to get Pandemic Preemption (via the World Health Organization) of national efforts to punish the perpetrators for the past years’ Covid tyranny - and states are about to propose new Pandemic powers that bypass legislatures;
Only two states have bills to stop the inexporable Geoenginnering the Biden Administration in Orwellian fashion is allowed by the media to get away with calling it still merely a “proposed experiment”;
Only one state is making a fuss about the equally Orwellian fact that much of the pork we’ve been eating already has allowed FrankenShot experiments about which we have no long-term safety data;
Our Food and Drug Administration has issued guidances prohibiting traditional homeopathy and quality, natural pharmacy compounding with any ingredients FDA will resist approving.
We need help, both from activist actions and donations to boost our influence.
So can we recruit from the huge health benefits world patients newly educated on natural care?
That’s the missing piece, and why I hosted this topic in NHF’s August zoom.
Hope you enjoy the program, and can help make this conversion happen. Kindly comment below your ideas!
