If you were told that a highly advanced medical information system using the very latest in technology is currently available that would dramatically change your lifereducing both disease levels and cost of health care by over 40% what would you think? Your first thought would likely be one of extreme doubt. What possible underlying basis could such a system be based on? Furthermore, if such a system were in fact possible we would likely learn of it through the current medical establishment.

There would, of course, be many elements involved, but before we get involved in the other aspects of such a system let’s first just concentrate on the underlying core that such a system would be based on to see if in fact it would have merit in its own right.
This is obviously a key element in the development of an effective system.

That core of this system would be the extensive use of clinical laboratory science

So just what is clinical laboratory science (CLS) and why would it be so great? Most of us are not familiar with CLS because the only exposure we have to it is through our doctor. Whenever we have a questionable health problem our doctor will often run some lab testsusually blood, urine, or tissue tests. The doctor orders the tests and also receives all the results from the laboratories. For that reason the public has very limited exposure to the industry and as a result very limited knowledge of the industry.

CLS is a separate branch of the current medical system, highly computerized and a very rapidly advancing science. It now has hundreds of critical high quality tests available.

Why is CLS so effective what is it based on? It is based primarily on the biochemical makeup of the human body and has proven itself to be very effective over the years within the current medical system as a reliable science. It provides an opportunity to look directly into the human body for secrets not available by any other means.

For direct information on the relationship of CLS and biochemical makeup of the human body please click on the link at the end of this article marked (page18). This link includes statements and opinions by the professionals in the clinical science profession. The professionals referenced are from text books located in the University of Michigan’s Medical Library.

To go one step further in order and see some of the actual advances made in CLS, click on the link at the end of the article marked (pages43-47). It is obvious by the dates involved in these references that even these developments would be outdated by now considering CLS’s rapid advancement.

So the question is, is this a good solid basis on which to develop an effective medical information system for disease prevention and development of wellness?

Personally, I decided it was. I believe it is extremely valuable and would form an almost unbelievable basis for a health care system beyond our wildest dreams. However, such a system would need to be a highly sophisticated national electronic processing system, legislated into existence and controlled by the public through a commission to be fully effective. The system would act as a sophisticated information system as an addition to the current health care system.

Over a 100 million people in this country are suffering with chronic disease–that is more than one out of every three of us. Furthermore, many of these diseases are of a very serious nature, including the major terminal and crippling diseases that we are all too familiar with and too often a witness to within our own family, circle of friends and neighbors.

Millions are truly sufferingand with some of these diseases, to often terribly.

And, it doesn’t end there, even those of us that are fortunate enough to avoid the diseases still have to live with the continual threat, along with the excessively high cost of health care that such high levels of disease creates– causing an enormous amount of stress throughout the entire country.

At the University of Michigan, not only was I was very surprised as to the amount of advanced analytical data I found available within CLS during my research, but I also found it very exciting, because I could see the great potential that such developments could provide in terms of health care. When one looks closely at the availability of this very extensive and highly advanced analytical data on one hand, and the high levels of chronic disease and suffering on the other, it becomes obvious that what we need is some means of harnessing these analytical elements and relating them directly to human health on a broad scale basis, for the purpose of reducing chronic disease and raising the level of wellness.

It became obvious that in order to create a system that would take full advantage of such critical health data, provide maximum benefits for the public, while at the same time effectively working in conjunction with the present medical system, a very sophisticated electronic processing system with a large number of very special features. This would include special provisions to fully safeguard personal confidential health records. Because of the complexity involved I felt it necessary to provide it in the form of a book.

This system was designed solely around the interests of the individual and the public and not around the needs of the medical profession and as such your support is absolutely necessary if it is to be successful. It’s essential that you (the public) extend the effort to look into the system to see if it has merit.

The question also arises as to why nothing has happened within the current medical system involving the development of such a disease prevention system? Is it just oversight or is it because all of the huge income generated in the health care field is through the evaluation and control of diseasenot in the prevention of disease or the promotion of wellness?

Furthermore, there may also be a more important factor involved here. Not only would a successful disease prevention system not generate additional income for the industry, but even far worse, it would also severely undermine the huge income currently being generated from the current excessively high levels of chronic disease.

I personally feel it is very sad indeed, having this huge source of vital health data just sitting there underused with so much unnecessary suffering going on.

I spent five years researching and writing the book. It is written specifically for the layperson. No technical education is necessary. For more information on the proposed system and the author click on this link http://www.Newhealthcaresystem.net

Article 3 of 12

How would you like to see a new health care information system, working in conjunction with the present medical system, that would reduce disease levels and health care costs initially by over 40% and eventually likely near twice that?

Of course most of us would like such a program. Even though the changes sound to radical to be true, fortunately, it’s for real. Such a system does indeed have a very sound basis in fact as spelled out in a book titled Vibrant Health Plus: The Real Medical Revolution and in the articles we will be discussing here. These revolutionary advances are possible through a completely new application of advanced technology. Many outstanding accomplishments have been attributed to the computer, but they will all pale in comparison to its beneficial effects on human health if this approach to information processing is allowed to develop.

We may well think that if such a system was in fact available then it would be presented to us through the medical industrynot from outside it.
Unfortunately, this new proposed application of technology has been available but is continually being bypassed by the present medical system. We must keep in mind that not only does preventative medicine generate relatively limited income, but a full-blown preventative health care system as advocated here, would drastically cut into the huge present day profits of the medical establishment.

When you consider the possibility of such a system the most important question that come to mind is, on what possible basis could such a system be based? The answer to that question is through the use of clinical laboratory science and the latest in computer technology. But, why clinical laboratory science?

Regardless of how sophisticated a computer system design may be, if it is not based on good solid input data, the output will be very limited at best. In this case, the source of the data is not only rock solid, but in fact one of the system’s strongest points. You couldn’t have a better source of relevant data on which to build a successful health care information system.

Because CLS is a science based on the biochemical makeup of the human body, it provides an enormous source of vital data about the internal workings of the human organism. Furthermore this is a science that has proven itself to be extremely reliable under applications used within the present medical system. This same CLS would likely be used by your doctor if you had some questionable health problem that required a critical evaluation. For additional information about CLS, directly from the professionals, click on link at the end of this article marked page 18.

In the proposed application, CLS would be used in disease prevention and the promotion of wellness by basically using large test profiles of key blood tests selected by the experts in the CLS profession. As opposed to one or maybe several tests usually used in a disease evaluation, the proposed system would likely use 100 blood tests or more (from one blood sample) for extensive analysis in preventative medicine. The large set of tests would be called a profile and after being applied to the patient, or individual, the profile results would be referred to as a profile pattern. This profile would consist of carefully selected key testing elements of the human organism such as certain hormones, enzymes, proteins and many other vital tests.

As highly selected as each of these special 100 tests would be in their own right, on an individual test basis, the real strength of the profile comes when you observe the profile only as a whole. As an example the capacity of this profile far exceeds the 100 individual bits of data. In fact, that is where the great strength of this system lies. A 100 test profile pattern with five possible different test levels for each test, will yield 10 trillion possible combinations. This would be reading every possible combination available. So why is that so valuable? That is very significant indeed and will be discussed in more detail in the following article.

We may well think that if such a system was in fact available then it would be presented to us through the medical industrynot from outside it.

The U.S. government promises a lifetime of guaranteed healthcare for veterans, in recognition of their service to our nation in the armed forces. What do the promises mean? This site provides an overview of the benefits, the barriers to obtaining benefits, and how to determine whether VA health care is for you.

Health Care Benefits Offered to Veterans

Veterans Administration facilities offer a wide range of services to millions of patients.

• Outpatient Care at VA Facilities: Primary care visits for a $15 copyayment and preventative care services with no copayment required for health fairs, outpatient visit for preventive screening and/or immunizations, laboratory services, flat film radiology services, and electrocardiograms.
• Medication for approved: Most veterans are currently charged $7 for a 30-day or less supply of medication.

Barriers to Using Veterans Health Care Benefits

While millions are served, these represent a mere fraction of eligible veterans. Why do many seek other avenues for health care?

• Congress talks about supporting Veterans yet prefers to fund pork. In 2005, Congress demonstrated its disdain for Veterans by refusing to fund promised benefits, and at the same time approving $220 million in funding for Alaskan “bridges to nowhere.”
• Services primarily are delivered at a limited number of VA facilities that are not accessible by many. Congress has been asked to allow Veterans access to public and private hospitals, yet it declines to do so.
• Quality of Care is a Question Mark. Perceived quality varies by location. While the Federal Department of Health and Human Services lists the performance of many hospitals on a location by location basis, the VA results are not provided for each location. Many Veterans do find their VA health care services satisfactory.
• Eligibility is limited. If you are a veteran and have service connected disabilities, are catastrophically disabled, or destitute, you may be eligible to access benefits. Congress has restricted access that was promised to all. In this regard, while World War I veterans were afforded full eligibility, our Congress has segregated defenders of the Constitution eight separate classes. Eligibility in some cases can now depend not on whether the veteran served honorably in conflict, but on whether paperwork was filled out prior to January 17, 2003.
• Prescription drugs offered are often second rate. The VA listing of approved drugs excludes many modern prescriptions. Patients often prefer to use drugs that are recognized as superior, and so do not accept the VA drug formulary.

How Can I Get My Veterans Health Care Benefits?

If you satisfy the current narrow qualifications, e.g., you are destitute, severely disabled, or have won the Medal of Honor (there has been only one such recipient from the Iraq conflict, and he gave his life in the action), you can fill out a form. Most veterans must complete VA Form 10-10EZ, Application for Health Benefits. link https://www.1010ez.med.va.gov/sec/vha/1010ez/.

If you do not satisfy the narrow conditions, you are one of millions.

Do Any Congress Members Support Strong Veterans Benefits?

Many Congress members support our troops. Veterans could benefit from establishing lobbying as the sugar cane growers do. Interested parties can contact their Congressmen and ask them to support our troops by funding fully the promise of health care.
