I would like to speak tonight about a new application of existing technology that could very soon have an almost unbelievable impact on your life.

Most health books are referred to as “How To” type of books because they are basically designed to help you help yourself. This book is different; it’s about a major change in the health care system, a change that would provide breakthroughs in human health and life style, far beyond anything we have ever seen.

The current health care system is outstanding in many respects, in fact it’s known world wide for its expertise in trauma care, surgery capabilities, and many other forms of emergency care along with the numerous other areas of expertise. It’s something that is very valuable to all of us, and will no doubt continue to be a very important part of our life. Unfortunately, however, as outstanding as the health care system is in these critical areas, it also has a major weakness that causes an enormous amount of unnecessary physical suffering and medical expense. That weakness is the failure of the medical system to prevent the continuing existence of very high levels of chronic disease. The changes in the medical system being proposed here tonight would dramatically change that.

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.

There are those that believe that because many of these diseases have been around forever, that maybe we just have to live with them. Until now that may well have been the case. Fortunately, however, technology has now caught up to this segment of the health care system as well. It can now bring disease prevention and wellness levels of expertise not only up to, but even exceed, the high level of perfection that most of the rest of the health care system presently enjoys.

Usually any form of successful entry into the health care field is introduced directly through the medical profession itself, whether it involves the introduction of new equipment, new tools, new systems, or new concepts. Furthermore, those additions are usually carefully designed around supporting the current medical system. The system being proposed here is designed to bring more balance into the overall health care system with far more emphasis on the individual’s and public’s best interest. This would be accomplished by introducing into the health care system an effective preventive and wellness program, basically in the form of an addition to the current medical system.

The proposed system involves the addition of a highly sophisticated national medical information system, very unique for a number of reasons. First, not only is it designed to more fully accommodate the needs of the patient and the public, but it’s also a system that would be legislated into existence and controlled by the public through a public commission.

Another logical question that comes up is, how can an electronic engineer with no medical background, possibly hope to accomplish anything like this in health care?

The answer to that is very simple, because primarily what is required here is a special electronic processing system that has the capacity to capture key health data already established by the medical experts and correlate that data to human health in an effective, thorough and efficient manner. As mentioned, it involves a highly advanced national medical information system, completely new to the health care industry.

There are basically two technologies involved here. They include highly advanced clinical laboratory science–a branch of the current medical system–and advanced computer technology, including supercomputers.

With most of us, our knowledge of clinical laboratory science is limited to what we are exposed to through our physician. Whenever we have a questionable health problem our physician will usually “run” some lab tests. Most of these tests involve clinical laboratory science.

What most of us don’t know is that CLS is sort of a separate branch of the current medical system, and is a very rapidly advancing science, in fact so much so that it is far exceeding the capability of the present medical system to fully utilize all of its latest developments. In recent years, the industry has become highly computerized both in its laboratories and research.

Lets read a couple of paragraphs from the book that I believe you will find very interesting, one involves the bio-chemical make-up of the human body (primarily what CLS is based on) and the second discusses major progress recently made in clinical laboratory science and what this progress could mean to us.

First, let’s take a look at the bio-chemical aspects of the human body. These statements I will be reading from the book are opinions and statement by experts in the clinical laboratory science field. Most of them are referenced from text books located In the University of Michigan Medical Library. For the purpose of this reading I’ll skip their names. This is on page 18 in my book.

What Is The Meaning Of Wellness?

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, wellness is defined as the condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and habits. When considering the meaning of wellness, a logical next step is to consider the term “homeostasis.” Stedman’s Medical Dictionary defines homeostasis as the ability or tendency of an organism or a cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes. Both wellness and homeostasis address your body’s amazing power to maintain balance among its various internal systems.

But What Does This Really Have To Do With Your Health And Wellness? Actually, Quite A Bit.

Your body is created with the ability to heal itself. For instance, in the presence of pre-cancerous cells, your body has a built-in immune system function called apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death. In a sense, your body tells the defective cells to commit suicide. This may sound like science fiction, but this process of homeostasis is a scientific reality.

This innate intelligence also keeps the surroundings of your body’s internal organs and cells constant even though your external environment may change. For example, if you walk out of an air-conditioned room into blazing hot summer sunlight, your body automatically makes the necessary adjustments to ensure that your internal organs continue to function properly. Your external temperature has changed, but through homeostasis your internal temperature remains constant.

Health And Wellness In The Workplace

Your job your family your friends these important facets of your life are all intrinsically connected to your physical and emotional health. If your job is extremely stressful, that stress will spill over into your personal life. Similarly, if you are experiencing a personal crisis such as illness, divorce or financial problems, it will likely have an adverse affect upon your job performance. This connection of mind, body and spirit is tied directly to health and wellness in the workplace.

When you become overwhelmed by ongoing stress, job demands, or family issues, the resulting imbalance causes mental and emotional distress as well as physical illness. Some experts call it “burnout.” But regardless of whatever descriptive words are used, the bottom line is that your health and wellness are in jeopardy.

Worksite Wellness Questionnaire

How do you know if you, a loved one, or a co-worker is suffering from symptoms of workplace or emotional burnout? This worksite wellness questionnaire provides telling some health and wellness insight:

Do you suffer from chronic fatigue or exhaustion, a sense of being physically run down?
Do you experience frequent absenteeism due to illness?
Do you have frequent headaches and gastrointestinal disturbances?
Have you experienced unexplained weight loss or weight gain?
Do you suffer from sleeplessness and depression?
Do you experience shortness of breath?
Do you battle feelings of helplessness?

If this worksite wellness questionnaire hits close to home with you, your health and wellness may be at serious risk.

Chiropractic And Your Health And Wellness

The principles of chiropractic medicine have actually helped shape what is known today as the wellness revolution. These principles embrace the knowledge that your body is designed to function as a whole, not as a collection of isolated parts. This concept of mind, body and spirit recognizes that any dysfunction in one area of your body, emotional stress for example, can result in seemingly unrelated, yet interconnected, dysfunctions in other areas, such as physical illness or pain.

The cornerstone of chiropractic medicine is an innovative knowledge that health and wellness must focus on the spine and nervous system. The spinal cord is a major component of your nervous system which controls every facet of your body’s functions. Tasting, smelling, seeing, hearing, thinking, dreaming, moving, running, sleeping, laughing, singing, remembering, feeling pain or pleasure, writing or operating a computer you would be unable to do any of these things without your nervous system. Every breath you take, every beat of your heart is ruled by your nervous system. This amazing system also regulates your immune system and the way you respond emotionally to times of stress.

Chiropractic practitioners recognize that even subtle alterations in the spine can interfere with nervous system activity. These alterations, called vertebral subluxations, are not exclusively due to physical causes. Chemical and emotional influences also play an important role in the health of your spine, nervous system, and your body in general.

Health and wellness begin with knowledge. So go back to the basics in your quest for improved health and wellness. Improve your diet, be sure to exercise regularly, and learn how chiropractic treatment can significantly improve your health and wellness - at home and at work.
