With the recent findings showing the American medical system as the

leading cause of death and injury in the U.S., a not-for-profit

organization was recently formed by Dr. Ed Kribs that can assist you and

possibly help save your life if you must seek allopathic care. Dr. Kribs

is an NHF member, chiropractor, author and a pioneer in biofeedback and

wholistic natural health care.

 

Advocate Angels is a volunteer group of trained patient advocates who,

by request, accompany patients to doctor's offices, hospitals or other

facilities, offering protective advice. They are biased on the side of

the patient, not the provider, to help minimize the risks inherent in

health care. The mission of Advocate Angel is to foster an understanding

of the part the public can play in protecting themselves from the

inherent risks within the health care scene. Knowing the right questions

to ask, in time of stress and fear, is an art seldom practiced by the

individual because they do not feel competent enough to accept the

responsibility. Much of the contemporary medical risks can be avoided by

patient education. Overwhelming evidence shows that going it alone to a

health care provider, without clear knowledge of how the system works,

can be dangerous. There is no charge for the Advocate Angel service.

Individuals and corporations help cover their operating expenses.

 

Additionally, the advocate will provide an educated shoulder for the

patient to lean on. A sample of questions would be:

 

What are the risks?

 

What is the doctor's experience with this procedure/drug?

 

Is the medication being given, what was ordered?

 

Is the dosage correct?

 

Is the food palatable?

 

And, the all-important question--is there any other way? There always

is, but you'll never find out unless you ask.

 

These are some of the services that the trained volunteers can provide

to ease the patient's doctors visit or hospital stay.

 

Advocate Angel trains its volunteers and is looking for volunteers who

want to make a difference, be informed and personally rewarded, help

others and their loved ones.
