Good health makes a lot of sense, but it does not make a lot of dollars.

We need total health more than medically approved health. Our wellness should not be limited to our doctor's experience, but enhanced by our own experience.

Use vitamins in place of drugs. This takes some moxie to do, for we have been taught to be consumers of medicine. We have been taught that anything cheap and safe cannot possibly be effective.

Self-care means accepting some risk, and accepting much responsibility. It is not for all people or all cases.

Modern medicine has created more co-dependents even than co-pays. We've learned to hold out for a magic bullet such as a new miracle drug, breakthrough surgical procedure or new organ transplant. What rubbish.

No person knows your body better than you. The world's most sophisticated and sensitive diagnostic apparatus is your own body's feelings.

A hospital patient can expect one medical error every single day of any hospital stay. Malpractice suits are numerous enough that one may reasonably conclude that there is certainly no guarantee of proper health care by contracting it out.
