It is 2013, Im 62 and its been almost 8 years since the love

of my life passed away on October 14, 2005, exactly one monthbefore our 31st anniversary and her 64th birthday. A part of me

had died with her then and the end of her life has been extremely

difficult for the emotional side of me to accept. Strangely, the

logical side of me always knew that life is in a constant state of

fluxthat everything is born to eventually die. It is that period of

time between the ends that we are given an opportunity to give

back to our Creator and His creation something from the life that He had given us.

I didnt realize it then, but I had been in a trauma-induced stupor and

depression ever since I had started caring for her at the onset of her grand-mal

seizures in 2002, which increased in frequency and intensity in 2004 after the

death of her mother in 2003, then followed by a subsequent major stroke in2005. During my time of impairment, I had neglected my body and its health,

which resulted in a number of health issues that Im dealing with now. The

major health issues that Im facing at this time are an enlarged prostate,

nonexistent libido, loss of muscle mass, memory and mental decline,

overweight, high blood pressure, hypoglycemic problems, excess belly fat, slow

healing of scrapes, and what appears to be a some kind of diabetic ulcer on my

middle toe.

I am the patient with the problems that doctors would love as a fund for

their lifestyles. Traditionally, men in my condition would be facing a whole

battery of tests, poking, probing, measuring, and finally a huge regimen ofdebilitating prescription drugs with their endless side effects that would

actually create even more health issues.

It has always been my belief that the human body is capable of healing itself from

almost any disease, if it has the necessary materials and an environment conducive to

healing. Materials necessary for healing will always be organic and found only in nature as

God had intended. This will be my strategy to resolve these issues and have a good quality

of life or die trying. With the loss of health, money, energy, and quality of life that I

have seen of survivors with these issues who only manage

to stave off the inevitable end for only a few short years at

most, a new eternal life on the other side with my waiting

bride seems to me to be an attractive alternative if I fail.

Thats not to say that Im in any hurry to die its just that

I have peace with whatever outcome I am given.Fact is, I want to rebuild my life and find a new love

and purpose for it. While life has many thrills, the greatest

thrill is the unselfish exchange of true love with a mate who

practices the same. To that end, I now awaken from the

ashes of my former life and strive, not only to gain

knowledge of healing, but also to work reversing my bodys

clock, and then live my life to the fullesteven better than I

had. This time, I have the benefit of experience.

Many people say that age is just a number, and theyre right. Aged and old are

not necessarily the same thing. Age is a measure of elapsed time,

whereas old generally describes a condition of dysfunctional use due

to poor maintenance or hardship. Its about the same difference that

exists between an antique (aged) car that runs like a top and an old car

that is dragged off to the scrapyard.

The biggest obstacle in resolving my health issues is going to be

medical corporations. While corporations have increased efficiency,

the bottom line with all corporations is profiteven if its at the

expense of the public. Because corporations are untouchable due totheir intangible nature and provide a legal shelter for those that are

tangible, corporations have corrupted American life through their

insatiable greed for profit.

Abraham Lincoln said this: I see in the near future a crisisapproaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety ofmy country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthronedand an era of corruption in the high places will follow. The money power

of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of thepeople until all wealth is aggregated in few hands and the republic is destroyed. I feel atthis moment more anxiety for my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless.

That the great President's gloomy foreboding was a prophetic visualization of the

succeeding years, is patent to the least observing student of political affairs during thelast half century.

Corporations are responsible for one hundred per cent of the corruption in publiclife. They are in absolute control of our National and State judiciaries. Through theircontrol of the courts, they can nullify any righteous laws their creatures may have beendirected to pass in order to temporarily allay a great unrest. Their judges can bedepended upon to interpret into the law any decisions that may be necessary to exalt thesanctity of the property rights of corporations or trample on the legal safeguards, forthe protection of the human rights, of the propertyless proletarian.1

Healthcare and health insurance are expensive because of the

corporations greed for profit. It is going to be very difficult to find a

good affordable doctor who practices age management or medicalprevention. Every doctor depends upon a corporation for his

livelihood, or indirectly through insurance corporations, and profit

margins form the basis of all medical decisions, rather than the

patients need.

The corporation problem resembles a society of burglars, legallyorganized to plunder, against whom criminal proceedings result only inan indictment, or a fine, which the plundered themselves must pay.2

Doctors are trainedand paidto treat disease. The insurance corporations do not

reward doctors for being proactive about preventing disease because theres little financial

profit in it. Expensive treatments for life-threatening diseases pad the bottom line,especially when the treatments are reoccurring on a regular basis.

As corporate profits and medical costs continue to soar, insurance corporations are

increasingly denying coverage to patients for crucial services. According to the World

Health Organization, the United States of America has the 37th-worst quality of healthcare

in the developed world,3 despite all the advances in medical science. Conservative

estimates show that over 120,000 Americans die each year from treatable, preventable

illnesses that citizens of other countries survive.4

Americans spend twice as much as residents of other developed countries onhealthcare, but get lower quality, less efficiency and have the least equitable system5

The health care system also may contribute to poor health through its adverseeffects. For example, US estimates of the combined effect of errors and adverse effectsthat occur because of iatrogenic damage not associated with recognizable error include:

12000 deaths/year from unnecessary surgery

7000 deaths/year from medication errors in hospitals

20000 deaths/year from other errors in hospitals

80000 deaths/year from nosocomial infections in hospitals

106000 deaths/year from non-error, adverse effects of medications

These total to 225000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes. Threecaveats should be noted. First, most of the data are derived from studiesin hospitalized patients. Second, these estimates are for deaths only anddo not include adverse effects that are associated with disability ordiscomfort. Third, the estimates of death due to error are lower thanthose in the IOM report. If the higher estimates are used, the deaths dueto iatrogenic causes would range from 230000 to 284000. In any case, 225000 deathsper year constitutes the third leading cause of death in the United States, after deathsfrom heart disease and cancer.

between 4% and 18% of consecutive patients experience adverse effects inoutpatient settings, with 116 million extra physician visits, 77 million extra

prescriptions, 17 million emergency department visits, 8 million hospitalizations, 3million long-term admissions, 199000 additional deaths, and $77 billion in extra costs(equivalent to the aggregate cost of care of patients with diabetes).6
