ASK YOURSELF……..
Are you someone with a misunderstood and hard to treat chronic illness, such as Fibromyalgia, CFS, Lyme Disease, or autoimmune disease, who has not gotten well through conventional medicine alone?
Do you have any type of chronic illness and feel frustrated with your treatment or have other concerns not being addressed by our current health care system?
Have you wanted to try alternative medicine but it is out of financial reach for you?
Are you frustrated with the current healthcare system and want to see change? Does is frustrate you that living a healthy lifestyle is so expensive and not easily accessible?
Do you try to become educated about your condition and then get alienated by your dr for being an “informed patient”?
Are you interested in networking with others interested in improving chronic illness care?
Do you have a general interest in healthy living and learning how to prevent chronic disease but find it difficult to make sense of today’s ever changing health information?
Are you a healthcare professional who cannot treat his or her patients in the way you want due to insurance company and other limitations?
Are you feeling that you are not providing the best healthcare possible for your patients?
Are you interested in networking with other professionals and patients who feel the way you do?
THEN IMAGINE……..
A world where those with chronic illness can have affordable and comprehensive care without going broke doing it.
A world where patients can become educated about their condition and not be put off by drs who don’t like informed patients.
A world where those with chronic disease can recieve treatment and support services all under one roof without having to go to multiple providers who do not collaborate.
A world where people can become as educated as possible on contributing factors to illness in order to prevent the development of chronic disease later in life.
A world where you can get all of your care and services under one roof, without having to go to multiple specialists, therapists, support groups, etc.
A world where when medicine that treats the whole person, not just symptoms, is available to all, not just the lucky few who can pay for it.
A world where chronic medical conditions are not ostracized, but accepted and understood.
A world where you don’t have to pay extra to eat healthy and where you are surrounded by health minded individuals as the norm and not the exception.
Well, this is MY IMAGINATION and VISION!!!
This site is meant to educate, inspire, and network with all those that have an interest in healthcare reform, chronic illness, disease prevention, and healthy living in general to help make this vision become reality. In addition to networking with those interested in these issues, I hope to use this blog as a vehicle to connect with others who would like to eventually assist me with building a comprehensive non profit organization dedicated to preventing chronic illness and improving care for those already living with chronic disease through education, advocacy, resources, and support.

hello! i am similarly passionate and motivated on health reform. come see http://www.preferredhospitals.com. we must keep the political pressure on, lest the demand for reform is diminished by the inevitable economic distractions that are likely to intervene in Washington D.C.
There are a lot of misunderstandings related to chronic illness, as stated above, in our society and in the medical community. I had to see several doctors before I found one that knew how to properly treat chronic illness. The medical community definitely needs education, and our society as well.
