I wrote the following article almost 40 years ago in my third year of medical school. It was published in The Tupper Times, Dalhousie Medical School, December 1976. I think the only reason I wasn't kicked out of med school was because nobody was around for the Christmas holidays when it was published!

What I said then is still included in what I say now. But nothing has changed for the better in our health care system; it's actually gotten worse.

Are there any solutions?

Knowing that we are being left to our own devices in terms of health care more than ever before; knowing that the Obama health care system will befall us and we will be forced to pay even more for drugs and surgery that we don't want; knowing all that and having watched allopathic medicine devolve over the past four decades, my first solution was to create an online wellness program called Future Health Now! However, most people don't want to, or don't have the energy, or don't have the time to make lifestyle changes. The ones that do follow my program experience tremendous benefits.

For those who want more, I began working with iON and creating RnA Drops and ReMag and encouraging people to "take your own power" in a way that affects their physical, non-physical and the labyrinth of their mind. The results of those endeavors have been astounding. You can follow me on RnA Drops and How iONic and RnA Radio.

Before you research my future solutions to the health care crisis for 2013 and beyond, take a nostalgic trip with me to the past and read what I said to my fellow medical classmates in 1976.

HAND SIGNALS FOR THE BLIND*

We are fast approaching the age of Defensive Medicine. In the United States especially, a Medical student learns this art along with his medicine. This basic mistrust in the doctor-patient relationship came when the intimacy in medicine slipped away and the drugs and technology took hold; when obliteration of symptoms became the goal; when people no longer were given any place in helping to cure themselves and medical knowledge became a guarded fort; and when death became the enemy.

All these things merit careful consideration and thought by medical students because in the near future the public is going to demand from doctors a much more emancipated view toward medicine in which there is an availability of alternative treatments. In the recent past we have seen several therapies go through the stages of faddism in the lay press: acupuncture, herbal medicine, health foods, orthomolecular medicine (megavitamin therapy), and foot reflexology to name a few. Unfortunately these methods, some of which have been used successfully for hundreds of years, are touted as The Answer, The Wonder Cure, which designation immediately polarizes people.

Then the next stage of critical observation reveals that it is indeed not 100% effective in particular areas for which it is prescribed and the balloon bursts and the furor dies down. Over and over the point is missed. The point being that some people are benefited by these treatments, therefore to them it is 100% effective.

This is where fitting the treatment to the individual, not fitting the individual to the treatment, comes in.
