Guest guest Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 http://www.health4us.org/initiative.html What is A Vitamin Reimbursement Initiative? The Goal of This health initiative is to promote the formation of a new, universal health insurance program that will benefit health of the American people by making vitamins and other natural treatments for affordable to everyone. Why You Should Join Recent breakthough discoveries in natural health medicine open up new and exciting opportunities to eradicate or reduce many chronic disease to a fraction of today's occurrence This is possible as a result of a new cellular medicine approach developed by world-renowned research physician, Dr. Matthias Rath (Please visit www.DrRath.com for more information on Dr. Rath's outstanding work and research). Today we know that vitamins and other essential nutrients are critical for increasing our health, have no detrimental side effects like prescription drugs and ultimately can lead to lowering insurance costs. Healthy people stay out of hospitals and doctor's offices! You may be one of the 40 million Americans who are improving their health by taking vitamins regularly. And, while a single bottle of vitamins may not be very costly, A vitamin regimen utilizing a range of different vitamins , which can provide outstanding health benefits, is costly and prohibitive for most people. Yet, we are all expected to pay the full cost for the vitamins we use or more likely, wish to use. We at Health4us feel it is time for our vitamins and other natural health therapies to be covered by our medical insurance just like prescription drugs are now. So we can all work towards a disease-free future! Have you ever wondered why vitamins aren't already covered by medical insurance or prescribed regularly by doctors instead of prescription drugs? Why? Because, the medical community, insurance companies, and the government haven't taken any action about the overwhelming research that shows the value of vitamin therapies to our health. pharmaceutical companies are more concerned about their profits than telling the truth: that for a fraction of the cost of their synthetic drugs, we can be healthy with natural vitamin therapies. Pharmaceutical companies are dispensing more than just medication... Are you aware that side effects of correctly administered drugs, not medical errors cause 106,000 deaths a year in the U.S. (next after cardiovascular disease and cancer) and substantially contribute to a tremendous increase in the cost of hospitalization? Even though the number of prescription drug casualties are outrageously high once a drug is approved by the FDA and on the market, dispensing doctors are not obliged to inform anyone of any harmful results reported to them by their patients. These reports are voluntary. Drug-related health problems and new diseases induced by drug side effects call for an immediate action. According to the FDA only 1% of drug related side effects are recognized, but these problems are the 4th leading cause of mortality in the U.S. each year. Most prescription drugs overload the body's system because they detoxify in the liver. So it is not surprising that liver failure is the most common side effect of prescription medications. The increased availability of drugs, which are often promoted to doctors and consumers through slick, glamorous ads, and misleading information (particularly as regards their side effects), further deters patients from seeking safe and effective solutions to their health problems. Profits from patentable medicines are the driving force behind the medications we are given at the expense of investment in safe, effective natural health treatments. New discoveries in natural health and a growing number of clinical studies confirm that vitamins can offer effective and affordable options to many of today's health problems. Vitamins and other natural therapies help improve our health in safe and effective ways: Recent breakthrough discoveries in natural health medicine opens up new and exciting opportunities to eradicate or reduce many chronic diseases to a fraction of today's occurrence. This is possible as a result of a new cellular medicine approach to health utilizing cellular medicine developed by world-renowned research physician, Dr. Matthias Rath (Please visit www.DrRath.com for more information on Dr. Rath's outstanding work and research). Dr. Rath's discoveries in Cellular Medicine show that many health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis, are a result of deficiencies in essential nutrients which would generate cellular bio-energy if corrected.

It's that simple! Vitamins are effective! Daily vitamin nutrient supplementation is important in maintaining health and their use have been shown to be more important in decreasing risk of many diseases. Moreover, vitamin therapies can be effective in treating many, often serious, chronic health problems by correcting these deficiencies. The results of these vitamin therapies have been confirmed in various clinical studies and the personal experiences of hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide. (see www.drrath.com) More than 10,000 scientific and clinical publications document the effectiveness of natural approaches in various health problems! Vitamins are Safe. Vitamins and other natural therapies are safe contrary to pharmaceudtical drugs which can cause side effects and their overdose can lead to serious health problems and even death. (see. Article by Dr. Niedzwiecki) Vitamins should be affordable to everyone. It's time to get Empowered! Let's put a stop to insurance coverage that discriminates against vitamins and natural treatments with a Natural Health Insurance Campaign that includes a Vitamin Reimbursement Initiative To make vitamins and other natural treatments more affordable to everyone! The Health4Us Foundation is an organization designed to be instrumental in helping Americans to achieve good health through natural means. It was founded as a public service by Dr. Matthias Rath, to help realize his desire for all people to have natural health available and affordable to them. He has also inaugurated the Natural Health Insurance Campaign. Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D., is a cardiovascular research physician who has led the breakthrough discovery in natural health and in development of effective and clinically proven vitamin programs. Dr. Rath was a colleague of two-time Noble Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling (more about Dr. Rath at www.drrath.com) The Natural Health Insurance Campaign is a grass roots effort by citizens and for citizens, who care about their health to call upon their political representatives, business and insurance executives to develop and implement a Vitamin Reimbursement Initiative. This program will assist all Americans in covering the cost of safe, effective natural vitamins and vitamin therapies. Many natural remedies are being covered, like acupuncture and chiropractic, why not vitamins? We are aiming for a 50% defrayment in vitamin costs as a start. Protect your health and join thousands of others. Add your name to the Vitamin Reimbursement Initiative petition, because together our millions of votes will make a difference and it all starts here with you!
