Recently I was shopping for personal health insurance. Many of you have experienced this unpleasant activity. The first offense I experienced were the dreaded pre-existing condition questions…”Are you currently taking any prescription medications? Are you diabetic? Being treated for cancer?” And the list goes on and on. I am fortunate to be able to answer NO to these questions so I assumed my pricing would be a manageable monthly expense and similar to the HMO plan I currently have. To my economic horror I had the sticker shock of walking into a Mercedes Benz dealership with a Honda checkbook. Thinking that pricing the HMO plans would be the smartest direction turned out to be wrong. Getting a PPO with a HUGE deductible was the best choice as I rarely go to the doctor except for my annual exam and of course in case of an emergency. How lucky I am to be confident in my health. To work out, and create wellness in my life not only adds to the quality I value but also puts me in control of my healthcare. Being at the mercy of an insurance company who sadly only gives a doctor approximately 7 minutes with you in an exam room to evaluate and uncover your obstacles is absurd for both you and the doctor. Both of your hands are tied. In this economic time of upheaval and uncertainty your health is more valuable than most everything in your life. You can’t afford to get sick, so spend your time making yourself WELL!!

You know the drill. It’s Thanksgiving, then Christmas and then of course a Happy New Year, right? But when we let ourselves have a little too much “celebration” and too little activity we feel a bit sluggish and in some need of a fast fix. My advice to you is RESIST!!! Resist the urge to go the “quick fix” route. The only way you can lose weight quickly is in an unhealthy way…starvation, too little protein, and skipping breakfast. Doing these things leads to unhealthful weight loss and irritability and then our family and friends pay the price of a grumpier “you”! This route will not bring you to a healthy body weight that can be sustained for a long period and then next year you could be right back in the same boat with even more to lose. Let’s get off this roller coaster once and for all. I am going to suggest that THIS year you do it differently, that THIS year you will make the consistent healthy choices that will prolong your life, that THIS year you will give yourself more energy and a stronger body and set yourself up for a happier you all year long. If you just commit to one change per week and stick with it you will impact your life not only physically but you will empower yourself spiritually. This year will be the year that you invest in yourself! Besides, aren’t you worth it?

I have to tell you about some incredible things I have been finding by using the BioMeridian equipment. I had a patient that I was working with recently who was in her late 70’s. She had been dealing with many health issues and couldn’t quite figure out what all was ailing her. It seemed that no matter what she would do, nothing could help her feel better. So after taking her health history, etc., one of the questions I ask her was if she had ever been out of the country. Well her answer was a simple “No,” I haven’t been anywhere in quite some time.” Well, I had a sneaking suspicion that something might turn up anyhow so I went ahead and tested her with her permission. Well low and behold, just as we had suspected “we found parasites!” Well when I told her what I had found and read where they possibly had originated from which was “the middle east”, her reply was “Oh yell, I was in the middle east last year for an entire month and the first week I was so sick I thought I was going to die! No one could tell me what was wrong, so I had to stay in bed and wait until it ran its course. I just figured it was a really bad flu bug or food poisoning!” My reply was “Silvia, how could you forget that?” With that she replied “well Tammy, it wasn’t something I wanted to remember!” J Needless to say, we put her on the proper protocol for what she had and miraculously a great deal of her health issues have already begun to dissipate! We will periodically retest her to make sure they are gone, but in the meantime she’s gotten long overdue answers to those health issues she couldn’t quite put her finger on! This state of the art alternative medical equipment from Europe is an incredible tool and one that everyone can and should be tested on.
