The Story of Joshua Morros

Nice comment. I just posted a new Blog on some general concepts of our website within Wellness.com. I will focus on medical nutrition and vascular health, which you can help me with given your experience. I think you are already involved in Personal Care Leadership Training, which is ONLY on finding excellence in you for your own health and growth. It is not tied to any marketing scheme or multilevel, which I oppose. "Beth" can help us on healthy endocrine living. Maybe this whole thing can just self organize?

As the mother of Josh, I stepped outside the box of getting sucked into the treatment and drug infested lifestyle. With a child that had love, will and determination to not accept disability as an option, I was determined to stand by his side and fight for a full recovery. The key was having him FULL of proper nutrition prior to the accident. then, the "WHAT IF" happen and when the doctors informed me of the levels of nutritional reserves his body had and he was using those reserves to fight to heal, I knew I could not sit here without sharing my story. This is a very brief desription of the recovery process (review youtube/josh morros. I look forward in sharing my experience to help others along the way. Glad to be part of wellness.com. Let's make a difference one conversation at a time!

Dr. Don, As per usual, you've hit the nail on the head: in order to promote our "Personal Care Community", & have it thrive, we must continue to beat the proverbial drum: the Healthcare arena must be driven by Consumers so that Personalized Medicine becomes the norm/the mainstream, not the outlier. While so many are desperately trying to dupe us, tell us what's "good for us", nobody is asking US what WE want, nor is anyone taking our concerns seriously enough to effect dynamic change. We, as a collective, are wasting so much valuable time, energy & finances on trying to fix "what ain't broke", rather than trying to improve upon what we have & morph it into an individualized system of healthcare delivery based upon quality, access & affordability quotients. Value based medicine, supported by meaningful data & a results oriented approach to healthcare, is in order. If we were to ask Congress to give all of us a piece of the 900 billion dollars they are looking to spend in an effort to "equalize" healthcare delivery (cost, quality & reduction of error), then we would ALL have affordable, accessible & demonstratively effective healthcare for ourselves, our family's & our friends. Healthcare is LOCAL, it is PERSONAL & it needs to be reflective of our INDIVIDUAL needs. If 85 % of our national healthcare monies are spent on the 15% of the general population w/urgent/chronic/critical care issues & conditions, then why not focus on this particular sector of our community & target these specific members that are in dire need of personalized medicine?? Let's first focus upon these folks who need the help the most. In addition, if in fact, consumers are spending more out-of-pocket money, w/after-tax dollars, on Complementary & Alternative Medicine as V. all of the Hospitalization costs incurred in this country on an annual basis, then why don't we install a system, much like Germany's, that includes & supports CAM medicine equally as well as it does the allopathic? IF we were to design a Consumer-Driven model of healthcare reimbursement that made good use of the federally sanctioned Health Savings Accounts (HSA's), then consumers could realistically design their own healthcare program that is best suited to meet the needs of themselves & their families. The patient, the insured, the client & the consumer desperately need a singular source for a "GO-TO" coach, someone who will navigate the "system" on their behalf, adjudicate claims, explore recent medical options relative to their condition, and serve as a "Patient Advocate". This would leave the patient to focus on one thing & one thing only: healing. Our current disjointed system of healthcare delivery is way too complicated & expensive primarily due to such tangible items such as Medical fraud, Physician human error, hospital infection & co-morbidity rates and defensive medicine. In conclusion, Dr. McGee, you are correct; now IS the time for a revolt of sorts: if voting constituents do not stand up against the wasteful spending of our hard-earned dollar, then we will end up w/the same old mediocre health plan options, limited delivery choices, poor access & affordability issues. We, as constituents, consumers, patients & clients need to speak up; and need to speak up loudly. Systemic reform needs to be incremental so that we have enough Family Practice Docs. to serve our nation adequately, we must incentivize our Med. School students both financially & philosophically to pursue their dreams. Physicain's pay must not be reduced by a fraction of the dollar--we see this every day as more & more Docs. drop out of the Medicare/Medicaid system. Let’s not only encourage our elected officials to address this critical short-fall of educated Primary Care Physicians, but to also focus upon Industry fraud & waste, and Medical tort reform. The Personal Care Community is dedicated to serve as a catalyst for Healthcare reform, without all of the unnecessary diatribe connected w/the catawampus conundrum of late..............

Don, I too have seen this death diagnosis with people who come in to the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic office , Young babies that were sent home to die now (17). People with mighanes who have been with pain for over two years now pain free . Chronic digestion disorders resolved . There is hope and another way to achive wellness.Excited to be on the wellness.com team .Yours in Health J

Don, How many times has a "diagnosis" been a literal death sentence! I hear from people all the time that people who are given "3 weeks to live" die in three weeks! The power of language, impression, hope and faith lay mysteriously between provider, patient and the will of God. What if medical nutrition is the most preventative medicine we can practice. As evidenced by the Josh story it looks like his nutritional "reserves" are really what saved his life! Lets rock and roll
