Traditional medical practice illustrates the medical knowledge practices, which improved more than centuries ago within a variety of societies before the era of modern Allopathic or Homeopathic medication begins. Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, Unani, herbal, African Yoruba Ifa, Muti as well as many other ancient medical practices from all over the world included in these medicines.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Historically, at the end of the twentieth century, a number of traditions came to dominate the practice of traditional medicine. Among all, the herbal medicine system of Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman sources, the Ayurvedic medicine system from India, traditional Chinese medicine, Unani-Tibb medicine and Shamanic Herbalism were the most dominant at the end of the twentieth century.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Key Contributions to Modern Medicines</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The fundamental concepts of Modern allopathic medicine have developed from traditional (Unani and Ayurvedic) medicines.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">About fifty-five percent of present Allopathic or Homeopathic medications, which are using in the world, derived from plant or herb sources.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Roughly 40% of plants provide active ingredients for modern drugs or medicines, and because of their use in traditional medicines, they came to the interest of researchers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">More than 120 active ingredients presently isolated from the medicinal herbs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">More than 8,000 active ingredients in the present pharmacopoeias extracted from plant sources.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Who Uses Traditional Medicine?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Among non-industrialized societies, the use of herbs to heal disease is almost universal. Peoples from countries in Latin America, Asia, and Africa are still using herbal products to fulfill their regular health related necessities. As an example, nearly 75-80 percent of the population in Africa uses traditional medicine to fulfill their basic health related necessities. Another attention-grabbing thing is that presently, in United States, up to 158 million peoples use complementary medicines in their primary health related necessities.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Which Discipline Studies Traditional Medicines?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ethnobotany, ethnomedicine, and medical anthropology have included as the basic disciplines, which study these medicines.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Present Status of Traditional Medicines</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In recent years, the use of drugs or medications as well as search for new drugs and dietary supplements derived from traditionally used plant sources have accelerated much. As a result, many researchers are studying and investigating on these medicines today to find out the proper remedial uses along with pharmacological effects.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>sidayuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015412585283006836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560888889923715013.post-60023111367146139602012-03-31T10:59:00.001-07:002012-03-31T10:59:58.492-07:00What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine About?<p style="text-align: justify;">Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) contains a deep history, and is the third oldest form of medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine includes: Acupuncture, Herbal medicine, Tui-na therapeutic massage, Diet, as well as meditational techniques to heal the body. The fact that TCM has endured for thousands of years, and is still utilized nowadays is a testament to its worth as a form of healthcare.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Natural Medicines form the very foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Chinese Medicine practitioner offers dozens of medicinal herbs at their disposal, which have been utilized and studied over many hundreds of years. The application of these herbs includes diagnostics and pharmacology, and is specifically tailored to the needs of the individual individual. A very popular tenant of Chinese Medicine is the belief of treating the patients underlying problem or the root of the problem. The branch of symptoms displayed within the individual are the outward manifestations of a deeper underlying cause. When the root cause of illness is being treated the "branches" will invariably clear up.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Acupuncture is really a system rooted in this vast traditional healthcare system. It's origins date back to more than 2,000 years ago, developing in the Han Dynasty. Historically, physicians utilized acupuncture to balance the bodies natural energy system. When this system was out of balance, people would experience "Dis- ease".</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nowadays in Modern China, as well as in the west, Acupuncture is used as an integrative medicine or stand-alone to treat a wide-range of problems. The system involves placing small non-invasive needles that are inserted into specific anatomical points scattered throughout the body. By placing acupuncture needles into certain acupuncture points you initiate a naturally occurring healing response. Receiving acupuncture encourages the body to promote natural healing and to improve work.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cupping is really a conventional system that has been used in the east for hundreds of years. It relieves inflammation and improves circulation to an area. This technique works by making a vacuum by placing the cupping glass over the skin. The cup creates suction on the skin, exciting the area, and increasing blood flow.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Moxabustion:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A small amount of direct moxibustion: moxa or mugwort is cone-shaped and positioned over the acupuncture point. It is considered one of the very best treatments. In particular the effect of moxibustion on immune function was studied at Kyushu University in Japan. It's benefits have been reported as early as 1927 by Dr. Shimetaro. However, outside of Japan, it will never be performed on a routine basis. Directly tipped off blistering might have some undesirable results, such as, burn marks over the site, and hesitated scars. Avoid damaging the skin. Some practitioners prefer burning moxa between medium (slice ginger, topical paste, etc.) simply before it reaches the skin. Moxibustion sometimes referred to as non-scarring moxibustion directly or indirect moxibustion classification should not be considered the possible results derived straight from the primary effect of such direct moxibustion.</p>sidayuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015412585283006836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560888889923715013.post-83650627550205567372012-03-11T07:40:00.002-07:002012-03-11T07:43:12.274-07:00Benefits Of Anatomic Exercise Over Acceptable Bloom Club Workouts<p style="text-align: justify;">You may accept apprehend or heard about the appellation "functional exercise" getting befuddled about by claimed trainers and exercise experts.

They are not bloom allowance plans. Rather, they accomplish abundant like accumulation accounts bureaucracy at a bank. And they are consistently accompanying with a top deductible bloom allowance plan. That is to say, one could acquirement top deductible bloom allowance advantage with or after a bloom accumulation anniversary absorbed to the plan. A Bloom Accumulation Anniversary is absolutely that - an anniversary accustomed to save money for approaching bloom expenses. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> The abstraction abaft HSA's is adequately straightforward. Owners drop funds into their accounts to be acclimated after for able bloom expenses. Funds can be acclimated for a array of costs - including (but not bound to) visits to the doctor, prescriptions and/or affair the deductible. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Advantages of HSA Accordant Plans </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Generally, Bloom Accumulation Accounts will be beneath big-ticket than acceptable allowance plans. The acumen is artlessly that plan deductibles are higher. Therefore, the allowance aggregation underwriting the plan will not accept to anon awning small, accidental claims. The buyer would use funds from the HSA for abounding of the incidentals - like doctor visits, prescriptions, etc. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> In addition, the absorbed accumulation anniversary has cogent tax advantages adjoin acceptable bloom plans. Contributions into an HSA are tax deferred and the absorption accumulates tax deferred - abundant like contributions to an IRA. However, if funds are aloof for able medical expenses, no taxes are due on those withdrawals. In this way, HSA's accommodate tax advantages to the customer alert - already if the money is deposited and afresh if it is withdrawn. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Who Should Accede a HSA Accordant Plan? </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Healthy individuals who infrequently appointment the doctor are acceptable candidates. Individuals and families on a bound budget, but in charge of affordable advantage could aswell accede a HSA plan. These consumers can pay smaller, accessory bloom costs out of the HSA, but should they accept a cogent claim, the bloom allowance accompanying with the plan is accessible already the deductible has been met. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Many employer sponsored accumulation affairs are already switching to HSA's to lower their bloom affliction exceptional bills. The ascent amount of bloom affliction is banishment abounding companies and baby business groups to change allowance affairs in adjustment to save money. A HSA accordant plan can be a fair accommodation for the abettor and the employer. Some employer groups will accomplish contributions to the HSA to animate advisers to accomplish the change. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Who Should Accede Acceptable Insurance? </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Consumers who wish lower deductibles and added in actual allowances tend to acquirement acceptable plans. In the allowance industry, this abstraction is alleged "first dollar benefit". These are allowances the customer receives after accepting to accommodated a deductible or co-insurance provisions. Examples of aboriginal dollar allowances cover anniversary physicals, visits to a specialist or non-specialist, OBGYN visits and decree coverage. While newer HSA affairs are alms added in aboriginal dollar benefits, usually acceptable bloom allowance will accommodate the a lot of in actual benefits. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Traditional advantage can be added advantageous for families and/or average age-old or earlier consumers. These groups may be added acceptable to accept several claims adjoin their policies. They may admiration added in actual benefits. Additionally, they may artlessly accept the assets accessible to allow added big-ticket policies. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> In summary, there are abounding bloom allowance affairs accessible to the individual, ancestors and business group. Choosing the appropriate plan will generally times absorb acclimation amount with benefits. HSA accordant affairs can be an affordable another to a traditional, lower deductible plan.

Besides, there are many alternative medications advised such as peppermint for lips, patchouli oil or lavender for acne, chamomile for eczema and grapefruit for cellulite.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">The most commonly used ointments for sunburns are strawberries, cucumber slices, gels or the leaf of the aloe vera plant. They are often easily cured as they exhibit soothing, cooling and antifungal properties. If you keep cool tea bags or cucumber slices over the dark circles of your eyes, they will reduce the dark colors formed around the eyelids.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">You can also prepare a mixture of cornstarch, baking soda or essential oil to smoothen the texture of your skin.

The service is horrible and surgery is always the answer when it just doesn't have to be. I urge you before you take the leap and get surgery or go on a prescription regimen look into alternative natural medicine. I fell into the trap of "surgery is the only option" when I had a diseased gall bladder. To this day I wish I would have just taken the time and looked around at what else was out there or had at least taken steps to naturally prevent it. After my surgery to this day I deal with the after effects of a missing gall bladder every day. I'm not saying that everything can be cured using natural homeopathic remedie3s but if your situation is nonlife threatening it can't hurt to try before you go under the knife or spend a fortune on prescription medicine. I've compiled a list of natural and homeopathic remedies and prevention for everything from common skin conditions to potentially serious problems. For <strong>natural home remedies</strong> you really don't need to go very far or crazy about it, most cures and prevention can be found right in your own kitchen. The idea of natural remedies is to use the chemical naturally present in spices, herbs and other foods to fight off whatever foreign body is causing the infection or irritation. This is so much easier for your body to process than hundreds of milligrams of chemically produced antibiotics. <strong>Some common remedies are:</strong></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-auto; "></p><ul style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 2em; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-auto; "><li style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">For headaches try slicing up an apple, removing the upper rind and the inner apple core and then sprinkling salt on the apple.

At that time the concept generated little buzz - only recently has the debate heated up between critics and supporters of the initiative.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">A Health Savings Account offers people a second choice when it comes to signing up for health insurance. It's not a replacement for health insurance, but instead, combines aspects of personal savings with the complete coverage offered by a health insurance plan. Many defenders of HSAs believe it offers the best of both worlds so that patients can have more control over their own healthcare needs and save money in the process.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">But what exactly does a Health Savings Account entail? Basically, a Health Savings Account is a savings account (set aside for the purpose of paying future medical costs) in conjunction with a high-deductible health insurance policy. If your employer or insurance company offers HSAs, you are given the option to deposit money into the savings account, up to a set amount. The deposit remains tax-free, even when you withdraw, and gains interest over time - just like a traditional savings account. The difference, of course, is that the money must be used to cover medical expenses you incur up to the deductible amount. So if you need to buy prescription eyeglasses, visit the doctor, or take an eye exam, you would withdraw funds from the HSA in order to pay those bills. HSAs can be used to pay for a wide range of healthcare expenses, not traditionally covered by health insurance.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">The good news is that once you reach the deductible amount, your insurance coverage kicks in and you can use that to pay any additional medical bills you are responsible for during the rest of the year. Another positive aspect of a Health Savings Account is the fact that with a high-deductible insurance plan comes low monthly premiums. If you have little to no healthcare costs during the year, you will save a lot of money on premiums alone. At the same time, your savings account will gain interest and roll over to the next year. After several years, even if you need to make withdrawals to pay for certain medical expenses, you should have a significant amount of money set aside for a rainy day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">In addition, once you turn 65, you can withdraw any leftover funds to use for your retirement - and the balance remains tax-free. You can use the money for medical expenses, of course, or for any other expenses you have during your retirement years.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Opponents of HSAs argue that only the healthy and wealthy can afford to take advantage of the opportunities Health Savings Accounts offer to the public, while proponents of the plan believe this type of health insurance has the potential to give the average person more power to make informed healthcare choices. Only time will tell whether or not Health Savings Accounts have the potential to revolutionize healthcare in America.</p><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto; "><div style="text-align: justify;"><span ><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span>sidayuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015412585283006836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560888889923715013.post-85694968870170243142011-09-25T21:06:00.001-07:002011-09-25T21:06:04.498-07:00mestkawelcome....!!!<br />

One of which is because getting proper health insurance has now become very expensive. Whether it is because of a job loss or a low income paying job, many people nowadays are left uninsured.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">In fact it is very dangerous to be without proper insurance because once you are hit with a major health related bill, you can easily find yourself buried in debt for quite some time. And many others eventually give up and are forced into bankruptcy. Because of the risky situation medical bills can put you in, it is important to find the best rates on insurance plans out there.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">The quickest way you can find cheap rates on traditional health insurance plans is to take advantage of the websites on-line that gives you multiple quotes. Many individuals do not have all the time in the world to go to each and every single insurance website on line to get quotes. It is too time consuming to go through all these sites manually.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Another way you the most affordable health insurance rates is to not settle for the first quote that you get. If you settle for the first quote you get, you are pretty much shooting yourself in the foot. You should dig down deeper until you get the best rates possible from reliable insurance companies near you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">And because disaster can strike at any moment, it is important to insure you and your loved ones as quickly as possible so that you do not find yourself footing a ridiculously high medical bill.</p><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto; "><div style="text-align: justify;"><span ><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span>sidayuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015412585283006836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560888889923715013.post-88227608482952902922011-08-08T10:08:00.000-07:002012-03-03T10:15:56.063-08:00Acupuncture - An Alternative to Traditional Health Care<p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">With the globalization of our world, Eastern and Western medicine are beginning to mesh in certain areas. Acupuncture is one of the Eastern techniques quickly gaining a footing in Western medicine.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Acupuncture is believed to be over 2,000 years old as a medical practice. Although many countries in Asia have their particular version of the practice, it originated in China. Alas, the person that created it has been lost to time. It is a pity since acupuncture has become both one of the most popular and longest lasting medical technique in the world.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">So, just what is acupuncture? At its core, the treatment is about the manipulation of energy in the body. Much of Chinese medicine is based on the idea that energy, called Qi, flows through the body in two currents. These currents are known as Yan and Ying. When the body gets out of whack, one current becomes dominant. This leads to disease, pain and poor health.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Unlike Western medicine, acupuncture does not focus on the symptoms. Instead, the focus is on the underlying cause of the discomfort. After 2,000 years of practice, there are detailed anatomical maps that help a practitioner isolate those areas that could be causing the poor health of a patient. These areas are then manipulated through the use of needles placed through the skin.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Needles! Many people are afraid of needles. One need only think of the large needles in a doctor's office to develop the fear. Acupuncture needles are different. They are the width of approximately one human hair. When placed through the skin, most patients will not even feel the penetration. It is the rare individual who will feel even the slightest bit of discomfort.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">A bit more on the needles. An acupuncture needle is a one use medical device. They come in a sterile package and are used on one patient. At the end of the treatment, the needle is removed and thrown away. This approach eliminates concerns of infections and the transfer of any disease, to wit, the needles are safe.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">When it comes to health care, there are a lot of people selling snake oil these days. Said snake oil, of course, cures everything. Acupuncture comes with no such fluff, and need not. It has been shown to be an excellent treatment for some health problems, but less so for others.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">The number one area where acupuncture has proven to be a boon is in pain management. Chronic pain is a nightmare. The solution in Western medicine is to medicate the patient. The problem, of course, is the medications soon cause more problems than the pain. In this case, we are talking about the addictive qualities of Oxycotin, Vicodin and other pain killers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Acupuncture, in turn, is not addictive and has shown amazing results when it comes to helping patients manage chronic pain. To this end, acupuncture is now a standard treatment course prescribed by primary care doctors for back pain, tennis elbow, nausea from chemotherapy and many other situations. If your current course of treatment is not working out, ask your medical professional whether acupuncture is an option.</p><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto; "><div style="text-align: justify;"><span ><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span>sidayuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015412585283006836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560888889923715013.post-41166592287951217502011-07-07T10:08:00.000-07:002012-03-03T10:15:11.925-08:00Health Care Plans - Traditional Health Care Plans<p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">There are two basic types of health insurance plans available today. There is the traditional care health plan and the managed health care plan. We will examine the traditional health care plan and help you distinguish between the two.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Traditional care insurance can also be known as "fee for services" or "indemnity plans". Traditional care insurance plans have the following features:</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">You usually pay a higher out of the pocket expense at the time of service. This can also include expenses up to a set deductible limit.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Once you meet the deductible limits, you then share the bill with the insurance company. For instance, your insurance company may pay 80 percent and you have to pay 20 percent. You will continue to share the bill until you reach your maximum out of pocket expenses.

Whether in the form of our diet, the air we breathe or what we absorb through our skin, our bodies are made up of and react to what goes into them. What has been healthy traditionally is a natural for our health and healing today too.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">When we can we should consume only those foods that are in as close to their natural state as possible or are prepared in ways that make them more easily assimilated which helps us to get the most out of them. Traditional diets it turns out are a guideline for our diets today despite what we hear in pop dietary thought. Raw foods, including animal products, should have minimal application of heat to maintain the valuable nutrient, enzyme and other qualities. Many foods, including, grains and dairy and some raw vegetables need to be soaked or fermented to be in their healthiest state. We also need to consider our water sources; water quality is extremely important. Pay attention to how your food is grown and the health of the animals. Switching out quality products for the low quality products in your diet and consuming them in a more optimal state will go a long way to healing your body and gaining greater health.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">We absorb through our lungs and skin too and thankfully we can make some simple improvement to avoid future health problems and possibly heal current health problems. The addition of a quality air purifier to your home as well as indoor plants can greatly impact the air quality of your home or work place. Many health conditions can be eliminated as a result of the removal of environmental causes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">While we can improve our indoor air quality in our homes and what we put on our skin, outdoor air quality and other indoor spaces will affect us and we need to do something about it. Additionally sometimes we have had to take a medication or have not eaten very well. We need to do periodic fasts and cleanses to get rid of all the toxicity in our system. Animals in the wild do this and it is imperative that we do too. For internal cleansing the use of certain herbs and clay have stood the test of time for their effectiveness. Once we have lightened the load on our bodies, our healing processes and immunity are much improved.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">When we feed our bodies what they need and get rid of what they don't we will experience the natural state of vitality and energy that we're meant to have.</p></div><div id="article-resource" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-auto; "><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">Shannon Clayton has studied holistic health and diet for over 20 years and translates this knowledge to benefit canine companions.</p></div><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto; "><div style="text-align: justify;"><span ><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span>sidayuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015412585283006836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560888889923715013.post-16525205971766523012011-05-05T10:08:00.000-07:002012-03-03T10:13:45.669-08:00Discount Plans Offer Viable Alternative to Traditional Health Insurance<p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">n light of recent events with the economy, consumers are searching for more affordable ways to save on the increasing costs of healthcare and health insurance. The average cost of a family insurance policy has topped $12,000 a year. While most families are fortunate enough to be part of group plans and therefore are only paying a portion of that premium, the premiums continue to rise resulting in a larger amount workers have deducted to pay for health coverage. For those not covered by their employers, these premiums must be paid completely out of pocket, not to mention the co-pays and deductibles associated with insurance plans. For the unfortunate 47 million Americans without any type of health coverage and another 100 million without dental coverage, the costs of healthcare for themselves and their families can be astronomical.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Consumer driven healthcare plans are an increasingly popular option in the healthcare industry. The basic concept behind consumer driven healthcare is that although deductibles will be higher, monthly premiums will be significantly less, therefore substantially reducing healthcare costs over the long run. Discount health and dental plans fall into this category. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars in monthly premiums, the cost of discount plans are a fraction of the cost. When members go to a provider (doctor, dentist, chiropractor, etc) instead of paying full price, as they would without any type of coverage, the consumer pays at discounted rates.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">The various benefits of discount plans over traditional insurance are many. For example, there is typically no waiting period, no limit on the number of services or visits, no age restrictions or physicals, no paperwork or claims, and ongoing medical conditions are accepted. In many cases, especially with dental insurance, consumers could pay less for services received with discount plans than with conventional insurance due to plan limitations, deductibles and caps.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">For those who cannot afford insurance, those who cannot obtain traditional plans because of pre-existing conditions or those in need of supplemental benefits, discount health and dental plans might be a viable alternative. The discounts will vary from company to company and therefore it is important to research the various discount plans available.</p><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto; "><div style="text-align: justify;"><span ><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span>sidayuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015412585283006836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560888889923715013.post-26991619998855797292011-04-04T10:08:00.000-07:002012-03-03T10:13:02.346-08:00Traditional Health Insurance Versus a Health Savings Account<div id="article-content" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-auto; "><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">Consumers frequently inquire about the difference between these plans. Most understand the basics of traditional health insurance, but many do not understand the nuances of a Health Savings Account - or HSA.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "><b>What is a Health Savings Account?</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">The easiest way to explain the difference may be to clarify what health savings accounts are not. They are not health insurance plans. Rather, they operate much like savings accounts setup at a bank. And they are always coupled with a high deductible health insurance plan. That is to say, one could purchase high deductible health insurance coverage with or without a health savings account attached to the plan. A Health Savings Account is exactly that - an account established to save money for future health expenses.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">The idea behind HSA's is fairly straightforward. Owners deposit funds into their accounts to be used later for qualified health expenses. Funds can be used for a variety of expenses - including (but not limited to) visits to the doctor, prescriptions and/or meeting the deductible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "><b>Advantages of HSA Compatible Plans</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">Generally, Health Savings Accounts will be less expensive than traditional insurance plans. The reason is simply that plan deductibles are higher. Therefore, the insurance company underwriting the plan will not have to immediately cover small, incidental claims. The owner would use funds from the HSA for many of the incidentals - like doctor visits, prescriptions, etc.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">In addition, the attached savings account has significant tax advantages versus traditional health plans. Contributions into an HSA are tax deferred and the interest accumulates tax deferred - much like contributions to an IRA. However, when funds are withdrawn for qualified medical expenses, no taxes are due on those withdrawals. In this way, HSA's provide tax advantages to the consumer twice - once when the money is deposited and again when it is withdrawn.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "><b>Who Should Consider a HSA Compatible Plan?</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">Healthy individuals who infrequently visit the doctor are good candidates. Individuals and families on a tight budget, but in need of affordable coverage could also consider a HSA plan. These consumers can pay smaller, minor health costs out of the HSA, but should they have a significant claim, the health insurance coupled with the plan is available once the deductible has been met.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">Many employer sponsored group plans are already switching to HSA's to lower their health care premium bills. The rising cost of health care is forcing many companies and small business groups to change insurance plans in order to save money. A HSA compatible plan can be a fair compromise for the employee and the employer. Some employer groups will make contributions to the HSA to encourage employees to make the change.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "><b>Who Should Consider Traditional Insurance?</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">Consumers who want lower deductibles and more in immediate benefits tend to purchase traditional plans. In the insurance industry, this concept is called "first dollar benefit". These are benefits the consumer receives without having to meet a deductible or co-insurance provisions. Examples of first dollar benefits include annual physicals, visits to a specialist or non-specialist, OBGYN visits and prescription coverage. While newer HSA plans are offering more in first dollar benefits, usually traditional health insurance will provide the most in immediate benefits.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">Traditional coverage can be more advantageous for families and/or middle aged or older consumers. These groups may be more likely to have several claims against their policies. They may desire more in immediate benefits. Additionally, they may simply have the resources available to afford more expensive policies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">In summary, there are many health insurance plans available to the individual, family and business group. Choosing the right plan will often times involve balancing cost with benefits. HSA compatible plans can be an affordable alternative to a traditional, lower deductible plan. Consumers, when working with an experienced independent agent, can usually find a suitable plan that fits their needs.</p></div><div id="article-resource" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-auto; "><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">A.M.

With the increased awareness about the importance of core strength, flexibility, and movement patterns, functional exercise has become quite the buzz.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">So what exactly is functional exercise? The best definition I've come up with is functional exercise is simply exercise that works the muscles in your body through integration in multiple planes of motion, the same way move in everyday life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">This is in stark contrast to traditional health club machines that work your muscles in isolation. Although there are some benefits to isolating a muscle (primarily hypertrophy or increasing muscle mass) for most people the benefits of functional training greatly exceeds that of isolation training.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">It is my opinion that exercise should not be something done while "sitting down." Exercise should be about conditioning the body within the 5 main pillars of human movement. These include having us push, pull, rotate, level change (think squat, step-up, step down, etc), and locomotion (think walk, run, jump, skip, etc). We train these movements primarily on our feet in a manner that replicates activities in everyday life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">The pillars of human movement do not change from person to person. All that changes is the intensity and demands placed on the body for their chosen "everyday" activities. Therefore at my Shaping Concepts personal training studio we train everybody from athletes to senior citizens with the same movements but simply change the intensity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Every single one of us needs to reach, push, pull, squat and rotate, etc but some individuals just need to do these movements with more power, strength, endurance, or intensity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">A lot of times when you talk about functional exercise many people think its just exercise that uses stability balls, bands, medicine balls, foam rollers, and other non-traditional equipment. This is a common misconception.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">While these are common training tools their use does not constitute functional training. We can train functionally with free weights and bodyweight as well. The key difference is the way in which the exercise is completed.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Somewhere along the line, exercise changed from something that worked the entire body to today being isolation movements on fixed, stationary equipment in health clubs. Physical culture of years ago included jumping jacks, handstands, push-ups, and other bodyweight exercises done most anywhere.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">If you look at the pioneers of physical fitness like Eugene Sandow, Farmer Burns, Jim Pedley and others, they had magnificently built bodies all created without the use of any strength training equipment. Makes you stop and think for a second. How far have we really come with physical culture and improvements with personal fitness?</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; "><strong>The Pitfalls of Health Club Circuit Training</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">When it comes to exercise most people are really uncertain about the type of exercise needed to meet their goals. Unfortunately, the one place you think would help the most has been part of the problem.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Walk into most any gym or health club in the country and you'll see the majority of people doing the same exercises. Rows of isolation equipment can be found with exercisers moving from machine to machine working on only one muscle group at a time in isolation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">I often question individuals in the gym why they selected the equipment they're using. A lot of times I'll hear "because I wanted to work [fill in the blank]" (the muscle groups shown on the equipment placard). This picture will show a part of the body that most people want to change (their midsection, inner and outer thighs, etc). They think in order to tone, firm and lose weight in those areas they should work on the machines that highlight muscles found there. Big mistake but it's not their fault; it's unfortunately what they're led to believe</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">The health club industry has done a poor job educating its members on how to reach their goals taking in consideration their unique needs and fitness level. The free personal training session or initial consultation is usually a joke. It's typically conducted by someone at the front desk that has little or no professional experience. After you've been shown around the club you're turned loose to do it all on your own.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Confused and embarrassed most people will just start mimicking what they see others doing in the gym. The end result is a "blind leading the blind" paradigm. No wonder people get frustrated with not seeing results then quit. Such a shame... nobody ever shared with them the TRUTH.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">The traditional gym or health club today is packed with exercise equipment to work every single muscle group in isolation. The problem with this is your body doesn't work in isolation, it works with integration. It's not uncommon for people new to exercise to have muscle imbalances that affect their neck, back, knees, shoulders or hips. That's why a kinetic chain assessment completed by a qualified health or fitness professional is so valuable.</p><p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Many people that suffer from shin splints, knee problems, low back pain, sciatica, headaches, foot ailments, etc could find their problems eliminated with corrective exercise.
