Health Care Changes

The only way we will see any real change in the present disease care system will be due to the public refusing to use drugs and surgery for every ailment but rather turning to providers who offer diagnosis that is noninvasive and mild and treatments that are noninvasive and mild.

Would there be a drug dealer on every corner if there were no customers? Did organic grocers just appear or did they respond to the public demand? The public has the only real power there is. It is time to get busy and speak up. Ask your doctor about alternatives to drugs for your ailment and pretty soon, hearing from enough patients he will look and find all the resources for health currently available and he will change.

No one is advocating against acute invasive medical care when it is needed but there is no need to drug someone who is depressed, or has mild high blood pressure or cholesterol problems. Have you ever tried to drink yourself into a better mood? Same solution, it never lasts. The real help is discovering why you have trouble handling the ups and downs of life by looking at your hormone status, your food sensitivities, your heavy metal overload or many other "whys". The only way to overcome the tendency to develop circulation problems is to remove the reasons they develop in the first place. There is no deficiency of the latest drug.

Drug companies and their congressmen and women are turning up the heat. They are attacking compounding pharmacists and trying to do away with a woman's ability to get personal and effective hormone replacement therapy. If there are no more compounding pharmacies you will see the throat of complementary alternative medicine cut and you will no longer have medical solutions that heal and actually work for you.

In the case of "mental illness" drug companies working with psychiatrists have turned every problem in life into a mental disorder. There are moves to "screen" every woman who is pregnant for mental illness; the treatment is drugs. The mental illness is vague malaise we all feel during normal pregnancies. Did you know that their diagnostic and statistical manual contains the mental illness of reading disorder, or caffeine addiction? You need to buy one at your local book store and have a look and a good laugh, it is called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association. If a school fails to educate a child they have the mental disorder of being unable to read and do math, they can be drugged and treated as a psychiatric case, go figure.

Health care dollars of the American public are being wasted and now politicians want all of us to be bound by universal health care. You need to fight for the right to determine your treatments and to refuse treatments that harm and do not help. It should be you who determines what is best for you.

What a weekend!!!

Dr. Maulfair and I just returned from the most exciting weekend, we attended the Citizens Commission on Human Rights annual award and anniversary dinner in Los Angeles. At least 1000 people were in attendance including whistle blowers from the psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries.

The opening entertainment with Mark Isham and the Wicked Tinkers was the most fabulous arrangement of "Amazing Grace" I still get goosebumps recalling the impact of that piece. This event is so moving and so meaningful because we gather with all people across this great nation and internationally to celebrate the headway we are making in protecting people from psychiatric abuse and violent reactions to drugs.

Joining us are parents whose children have died due to their drug prescriptions and this year a video was released at this dinner called "Prescription: Suicide?" , the story of six kids and their encounters with antidepressants. You can order this DVD from www.prescriptionsuicide.com and you can contact www.ParticipateNow.net to learn more about this important issue affecting more children every year.

Families need this information especially if you are in a state where the school program of Teen Screen is used to target at risk kids. Teen Screen, a federal program considers normal problems of life medical problems requiring prescription drugs. Talk about the solution being worse than the problem!!! The kids we see in our practice who come with recommendations of drugs are physically ill and need good diets and some are simply very bright creative kids that will not be tamed and put in a box by the public school system.

It was a great inspirational weekend leaving all who attended with a renewed desire to do even more to inform families of problems. Contact cchr.org to get the scoop and do what you can to contribute. We will see you at the dinner next year!! Love Coleen and Conrad

Here is what we need... CMA's and infusions nurses. Working in our center gives you the opportunity to change the health of your clients before your very eyes.

February is the heart month in more than one way...For love and for health. More women die of heart disease than any other illness. One of the reasons people remain confused about what is important in health issues for women is due to the misinformation the media baths us in everyday. Dr. Maulfair straightens people out at his seminars with the truth about heart disease and the real causes and the big pharma lies designed to keep you buying the heavily trodden path of illness without knowledge.

Heart attacks are said to be caused by cholesterol blocking your arteries, not true. I just listened to a local cardiologist this weekend on the tele saying cholesterol blockages cause heart attacks. 90% of all heart attacks are caused suddenly by blood clots. The blood clots abnormally because the platelets are sticky with ionic calcium which is one of the possible malfunctions. If you were one of the fortunate ones on a chelation program you would be doing something to help avoid 90% of all heart attacks because a chelation infusion program removes ionic calcium from the body which is what makes blood clot abnormally. Surprise. There is a real solution that is inexpensive that can be a routine part of a wellness program that has so many benefits besides the help in preventing blood clots, its exciting!!! You can exercise, eat organically and remove toxic metals including ionic calcium with chelation infusion therapy.

If you take the time to study up on the effects of heavy metals you will see a real path to aging gracefully and retaining your beauty and perhaps your bright mind and energy. The accumulation of heavy metals has profound effects on your health. The symptoms of heavy metal toxicity are being misdiagnosed and people are being given pharmaceutical drugs for the symptoms of heavy metal toxicity and are getting sicker, not better. You cannot drug away a toxin. You have to remove the toxin in order to restore health.

Do you ever get that message from your doctor? If not, find another doctor and lets get reallllllly old!! Happy Valentines Day. Love Coleen

I love Christmas holiday times, we have such a good time creating homemade foods. Our healthful hint to you is choose organic ingredients for the added nutrition and safety of no chemicals. It does make a difference in the way your holiday foods taste. Organic sugars do not seem to offer the same awful feeling you get from normal sugars because the minerals present in the sugars are still there. I realize I am letting the cat out of the bag, we are very aware of the healthful benefits of avoiding sugars and carbs altogether but...it is the holiday and we take one. We even take a holiday from good sense and enjoy our family traditional foods and sweets. I use organic sugar, brown, powdered and regular along with organic spelt flour for all the traditional cookies we enjoy and share with friends. Organic eggs, butter and most nuts, vanilla and other natural flavorings are available in our area easily. I use rice syrup (organic of course) in any recipe that calls for corn syrup (yuk). I find organic ingredients to use and if I can't find one thing I substitute an organic something.

I make cookie decoration sugars myself. This year I made a reddy pink sugar using pomegranate juice with sugar and drying it in the oven, must be a very low temp or you will melt it. I then put it in the food processor to break up the stickiness and I have naturally dyed sugar for my traditional spritz cookies. Ta Da. You can have all kinds of creative ideas if you insist on using organic ingredients. When you eat my caramels you are eating organic cream, butter, sugar. I make things made with flour and I make things like truffles and caramels for people who have gluten intolerance so they can enjoy desert with us.

I make a date rice ball rolled in organic coconut that is a traditional recipe but I use all organic ingredients. This is a cookie I do not particularly like but when the ingredients are organic it tastes so much better to me I ate two of them while I was rolling them!! Again a gluten free recipe.

Take a good look at your favorite foods and buy organic every chance you get. We wish you warm and loving hours with your friends and family and we will continue to give you the best health advice we can in the years to come. Much love, Conrad and Coleen

I continue to be reminded how important it is for each of us to take responsibility for what we think about people and issues. So many good things in life are dished by the "popular media" and so many problems and poor choices are pushed. The list grows daily. We will be hearing the merits of national health care over the next two years and people who have no insurance will be featured and hospitals forced to help people with no money and no insurance will be the center of the buzz. This is an idea that has been tried and failed in so many locations. Canada, England the past Soviet Union. Providing something to all with no personal responsibility for contribution has always been a mistake. I want to live in freedom with a society dedicated to free enterprise.

Having been, this late in our lives, the target of false data and vicious lies Conrad and I just shake our heads and become more determined than ever to surround ourselves with helpful, positive people. We need to stick up for one another because if you venture out of your arm chair to do something big in life, with Conrad in mind here, you are going to get it. There are those who cannot stand to see a new way or an improved idea make it. The idea that physicians should supply patients with better answers than drugs and surgery will be fought hard for many years to come; imagine what it might take to encourage the forces of big pharma and big medicine to make room for a few more choices.

We are making very good head way, a cardiologist met with Conrad last week, they have patients in common and they are going to do a paper on the results of a case of a guy who approached heart disease with chelation therapy and won a better future than was possible with standard heart disease care. One day physicians like Conrad all over the US, and the world for that matter, will have won a bigger playing field and the rest of us will have choice in medical care instead of the wretched government handouts and lowest common denominator of care. I am a baby boomer with my eye on the future and I want physicians like Conrad all across the US to be there for my family and friends. Thanks for listening.

By the way I would love comments but it gives the internet crazies a new path to our door. Use our website, drmaulfair.com

Infusion Therapy is not readily available in most medical centers, Dr. Maulfair constantly hears "if only I would have known..." from people who seek our care. The availability of infusion treatments in your area may be scarce but it is worth traveling to avail yourself of treatments that work. Vitamin C, as an example, cannot be tolerated in large doses by mouth but when given as an infusion the body can easily tolerate large doses. Not only needed by people with cancer during any treatment protocol but also as a wellness modality it is just one of many treatments that makes sense because you are giving the body something it likes and needs. Unlike drugs, considered by the body as toxic, nutrient infusion therapies are generally well tolerated and fast is bringing aid where needed. To maintain wellness they are part of comprehensive medical strategy of healthy living.

I have so much satisfaction in working in a medical center that helps people find the treatments that work and do not harm the body as drugs do. Every single drug is a toxin to the body and when needed they are beneficial but they do nothing to help people age gracefully and disease free they only mask a symptom. Symptoms should be used as the sign post to point the way to the proper diagnostics.

Effective medical care is so scarce it is scary. Insurance companies are being robbed by bad advisors that keep the status quo of drugs and surgery as the only things they cover. How stupid. If stockholders of health care insurance giants only knew how much money is wasted they would throw their ill informed advisors out with the bath water. Pharmaceutical companies have these people by the throat and will not let go quietly. The only person who suffers is the consumer of medical care paying premium dollars for end stage help they could avoid.

See you tomorrow... Coleen

We had such a good time with our wellness seminar attendees on Saturday. Dr. Maulfair taught a number of people some osteopathic treatments for lymphatic stimulation to assist them in keeping their family and friends healthy over the winter and during our upcoming holidays. People learned how to help one another with a treatment for sinus problems as well.

Dr. Maulfair has been helping people with heart disease and circulatory problems utilizing chelation therapy and nutrient infusions but he also utilizes osteopathic therapies for general health. The manipulation of tissues of the body is key to a good immune system. He explained why exercise is so beneficial for everyone, not just to keep good muscle tone but also the movement of the body is the primary way the lymphatic fluid is encouraged to circulate throughout the body. He is such a good teacher and imparting the means and the ability to help another person is more important to most people than having help themselves. We are always encouraged by the people we meet who really do care about others and care about wellness.

He is going to offer this seminar again in January so check our website for dates, drmaulfair.com. Osteopathic techniques have been utilized for over 100 years by physicians and are of great help for wellness. Dr. Maulfair's father was also an Osteopathic Physician and did not use drugs in his treatment of health problems, in fact, we learned after his death at the grand age of 93 that he did not have a DEA license. (Drug Enforcement Agency) I remember sitting in restaurants with him and wherever we went patients found him and greeted him with the warmth you save for family. What a guy, and a great healer. Funny, we have lost all sense of expecting healing from big pharma and common medicine. Feeling great as you age is not expected in this day and age. People expect to die of disease not of wearing out at a grand old age.

The health news abounds with studies confirming what Dr. Maulfair and hundreds of likeminded doctors have been advising their patients and newsletter subscribers for years. It never ceases to amaze me how long it takes the press and the group think to catch up to progressive people who do not tow the popular party line for any profession. In my observation medicine has to take the award for being the slowest profession to change their minds and advice. Could it be because of vested interest? Recent news of drugs and health matters makes the point clear that you must research information about health choices and drugs yourself and depend on your good sense and reliable information to protect you. You need to spend some time working out what real health and healthy aging consists of.

Remember eggs? First bad for health, then good for you because they found eggs do not raise cholesterol as originally thought. The fact is eggs contain lecithin which helps you utilize cholesterol. How about this one, you may have been eating low fat diets but today find out in the popular press that Dr. Atkins type diet plans, with low carbs and high protein and fat do not increase the risk of heart disease and they are the healthy way to go. Conscientious doctors have been helping people loose weight and feel more energetic with high protein "good" fat diets and no additional heart disease risks.

Lets go on. Many physicians have been using Vitamin C infusions to support the immune system of people undergoing cancer treatment for years. Dr. Maufair helps people with cancer using vitamin C infusions and other nutrients. This treatment is fought by the medical establishment and therefore very hard to find out about. The people who come here are brave enough to research and think for themselves and they have themselves to thank for improved health and improved outcomes. The Cancer Centers of America are now involved in the first stage of studies with Vitamin C infusions for advanced cancers in one of their hospitals, a brave move by caring doctors with good policies motivated by a desire to cure cancer.

Look at the recent findings on popular, widely used drugs. They fail after FDA approval because the real study is in the marketplace using us as the real drug trial subjects. Dr. Maulfair's advice to his patients has always been to never use a drug until it has been on the market at least five years because by then adverse reactions start to accumulate. Obviously when there are dire health situations you may want to use an experimental drug if there was no other choice. In our practice we have met so many nurses who are alarmed and disgusted with the high rate of prescription drug use in medicine; they see the horrendous outcomes first hand.

CHOICE, a big word and an important word in the world of your health. It is hard to find the truth in medicine when you do not even know there is a choice because the choices are suppressed; they conflict with profit margin. Ask your doctor when confronted with the choice of drugs or surgery what else there is for treatment. Ask your doctor what the choices are, especially the ones he does not recommend; ask what they are and how you can find out about them. He may be right, they may not be the thing to do but isn't that your call? Is it not your body, your health? Use your doctor like a consultant; make decisions on sound information and second opinions.

One last hint for good health and happy living, stay away from psychiatry. Contact the cchr.org to order your copy of the newly release documentary "Psychiatry an Industry of Death." This is the most comprehensive collection of the history and intentions of this miserable group in anyone place. It traces the sources of their agenda of death. Too strong a statement for you? It isn't strong enough. Psychiatrists themselves are trying to stop this runaway train of destruction, buy the dvd and see what they say about the drug use, treatments and goals of their professional. We all know people that need this information so watch it for yourself and pass it on. Do not go through life another day without understanding where all the confusion and chaos around you comes from. We all need to know.
