Get Well, Stay Well
Our Cure For The Health Crisis

by William S. Eidelman, M.D.

We have a health care crisis in this country. Everybody knows it.  We believe that an important solution is to be found in healing people naturally and non-toxically, then keeping them healthy.

The Crisis

Costs are spiraling. Millions of people are losing medical insurance, and thus, health care coverage. Health care costs represent a major and growing portion of the increasing national debt of the United States of America.

As "baby-boomers" age, and their health care costs increase, according to current estimates, the costs of their health care will far exceed funds available.  Our solution - don't get sick. 

We seem to be fighting a losing war against a variety of different diseases.  Modern medicine has won many important individual battles, but we are not winning the war.

Heart disease, cancer, arthritis, AIDS, diabetes, asthma, Alzheimer's disease... The incidence of these and other chronic diseases seems to get worse every year.

Disease-causing bacteria are showing resistance to our antibiotics. Viruses are causing more diseases of increasing severity. Ebola, SARS, Bird Flu....

More people seem to be having allergic and hypersensitivity reactions to toxins, and toxins are nearly ubiquitous. Indeed, people are proving hypersensitive to many parts of our modern petrochemical world.  The end point of the medical condition is known as now usually called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome, where the patient seems to be allergic to almost everything.

Often, medical treatments have side effects to rival or surpass the disease. Iatrogenesis (medically induced illness) accounts for nearly 1/3 of hospitalizations. The November 27, 1991 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA, reported the incidence of ADE, Adverse Drug Events, as being responsible for 30% of all hospitalized patients. The report states these ADE's are fatal for 60,000 to 140,000 patients each year.  This was confirmed in an article in the April 14, 1998, issue of JAMA, which reported that adverse drug events in U.S. hospitals may be responsible for more than 100,000 deaths nationwide each year, making it one of the leading causes of death.

A report in The New England Journal of Medicine, March 12, 1981, stated that 36% of patients at a teaching hospital suffered from iatrogenic illness. Further, 2% of these patients died. If we extend this to all teaching hospitals, perhaps 700,000 people die each year from drug, doctor, and hospital induced problems. This includes the effects of such procedures as cardiac catheterization and coronary bypass surgery.

The bottom line is that a growing number of people are taking a growing number of drugs, with a growing cost per drug, with a growing number of side effects that are treated with more drugs.  People are actually getting sicker, not healthier.

Demonstrating Solutions

Natural therapies have great potential for alleviating the health crisis.  We can lower medical costs by not being sick and by getting well faster and at lower expense.  Currently available therapies that are showing themselves to be safe and effective cost much less, usually, than more toxic therapies that don't necessarily work effectively.  The only downside to the consumer/patient is that insurance doesn't pay for the natural, safe, more effective treatments.

There are a few simple solutions that would help a large percentage of the population.  These solutions involve some effort and expense.  Yet not doing them is far more costly in dollars and suffering.

Here is a brief summary/introduction to a few of my favorite therapies that would have a dramatic impact on the health crisis by helping many individuals:

1.   Energy Medicine Therapies:  In 1910, our government outlawed all treatments using electromagnetism.  Electromagnetism and healing were not used in the same breath in polite society, and still today, most people are not aware that electromagnetic therapies exist that are very effective, even dramatically effective.  Alpha-Stim and QRS are my two personal favorite energy medicine treatments, though there are others.  Using one or both of these therapies could provide dramatic pain relief, healing, and improved well-being to the majority of the population. 

     The Alpha-Stim is nothing short of an amazing healing technology.  I've been using it in my office for three years, during which time I've treated over a thousand patients.  It is effective in treating depression, anxiety, insomnia, migraine, drug addiction (including cigarettes), fibromyalgia, and a variety of types of pain.  Its effect is often surprising, triggering exclamations such as "amazing," "crazy," 'insane," among the most prominent.  The Alpha-Stim could replace a variety of different dangerous prescription drugs. including SSRI's (such as Prozac and Paxil) and anxiolytics (such as Valium and Xanax), not to mention sleeping pills.   
     The Alpha-Stim, if used in ER's and ambulance, would reduce hospitalizations of all kinds through it's stress and pain reduction. 

     The QRS is effective in a wide-range of conditions.  It is a known prevention and cure of osteoporosis.  I have seen it reverse osteoarthritis.  It is beneficial in other connective tissue diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis.  It improves circulation.  It literally energizes every cell in the body and stimulates micro-electric currents.  It relieves pain of many kinds.  It is relaxing and energizing.  Treatment requires a time commitment.  Treatments run from 8 to 30 minutes one to three or four times a day, depending on the problem.  The treatment may take place laying down or in a chair. 
     The QRS literally recharges the body, to help jumpstart the healing process.  People recovering from surgery or from almost any illness requiring hospitalization would be likely to heal faster with few complications if routinely treated in the hospital.

     Both of the above therapies are applications of tiny amounts of pulsed electrical or magnetic energy, both with sophisticated wave forms.  While there are other devices using small amounts of energy, I've found these more effective because of the wave forms. 

     Other devices exist which use larger amounts of magnetism and electricity.  There is great promise in some applications of high dose magnetism and high-voltage fields.  One promising technology is LifeWave
 

2.  Nutritional Medicine Therapies:  For those familiar with the mushrooming data available, it can no longer be rationally doubted that nutrients are the most effective treatments for almost every condition.  Vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids are crucial for maintaining health, if you have it, and recovering health, if you don't.  Other types of phytonutrients are also proving to be helpful, beneficial, and even curative. 

There are many websites dedicated to this burgeoning field.  In fact, there is too much information, difficult to evaluate and sort.  Much information is conflicting.  Often, our supposed-authorities make totally false statements, presumably without realizing their errors.  Indeed, nutritional medicine is the course missing from medical school and residency trainings.   This website will introduce my favorite nutritional therapies garnered from my many years of practice.  We'll offer you the opportunity to try them out and let us know how they work.
