Tips to Beat the High Cost of Healthcare
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
No matter what type of healthcare coverage you have, costs can be vexing. For one thing, it’s a stacked system, and most patients have no idea what charges they generally incur until after their procedure.
Special: Stubborn Belly Fat Can Be Fixed. Naturally.
Here are a few ways to stretch your healthcare dollars:
• Ask for a discount. One surgical clinic found that 61% of patients who asked for a discount got one. Some doctors will offer a discount simply for paying up front or in cash.
• Check hospital bills carefully. Medical bills can be rife with errors, so track all your medications, treatments, and procedures, then carefully cross check them. According to Medical Billing Advocates of America, billing errors were made in favor of the healthcare provider 80% of the time.
• Take advantage of perks. Some health plans offer memberships to gyms, such as the “Silver Sneakers” program, designed for senior citizens. Others offer smoking cessation programs or other ways to stay healthy.
• Follow the rules. Stay within your healthcare network and abide by other rules laid out in your health plan. If you are given a menu of options, pick the plan you can afford that also provides you with the most choice. That way, you’ll probably be able to keep the doctor you want. If in doubt, a phone call will usually resolve the problem.
• Don’t go to the ER for routine problems. If you need to see a doctor and yours isn’t available, an urgent care center is far less expensive than a visit to the emergency room. But, if you suspect you are suffering a heart attack or other cardiac emergency, call 911. In such cases, the ER is your only good choice.
• Save receipts. Prescription drugs that you purchase for yourself, your spouse, or your dependents may be tax deductible, subject to certain stipulations.

| What Nightmares Do To Your Body |
| Turns out that nightmares cause a lot more harm than just a bad night's sleep. Latest studies show nightmares trigger a cascade of physiological responses that immediately weakens the immune system and signals the body to store fat in the belly region for days. Interestingly enough, studies show your body interprets a nightmare as a severe form of stress and it simply reacts accordingly. For starters, this subconscious stress forces the release of your fat-storing hormone cortisol while simultaneously suppressing hormones that regulate your appetite. Which is a terrible combination when it comes to your health and fitness goals... And if you've ever found yourself extra hungry or losing a food cravings battle the day after a bad night's sleep, now you know why. Fact is, the negative impact that nightmares, or even just a poor night's sleep can have on the body is quite fascinating... YET, the reverse is also true. Enjoying a good night's sleep, or more specifically - enjoying 1 specific kind of sleep has been proven to boost our immune system, fend off signs of aging, and even help us to burn more fat... Which is why I urge you to take 2 minutes to make one tiny change to your bedtime routine, which you'll see at the link below. This tiny little tweak to your bedtime routine prepares your body for a perfect night's sleep and promotes your body to release stored belly fat while you sleep instead of storing it. |

August 2, 2020 Breaking News: Why Is Tom Hanks Being Sued by Big Pharma For Sharing This Revolutionary Diabetes Treatment That Works In Just 2 Weeks?
Do you take aspirin for your heart? If so, doctors at the Harvard Medical School might strongly recommend you reconsider.
According to these Harvard Medical Doctors, despite “common sense” that people 40 and older should take an aspirin a day for heart health...millions of daily aspirin takers are hurting themselves FAR more than they are helping themselves.
The doctors are advising that you should ONLY take daily aspirin if it has been approved by your physician.
The FDA also commented that because aspirin can cause both stomach or brain bleeding, kidney failure and stroke, it should be taken with extreme caution.
“We hope that more primary care doctors will talk to their patients about aspirin use, and more patients will raise this with their doctors,” said Dr. Colin O’Brien, the Harvard Medical School doctor who led the study.
Nobody wants their brain or stomach to bleed, so please check with your primary care physician immediately if you take aspirin or anything like it regularly.
Speaking of bleeding in your brain and stomach:

Speaking of bleeding in your brain and stomach:
- Brain Bleeding: I do this for 10-seconds with dessert every day to reduce brain inflammation and it also ended my headaches
- Stomach Bleeding: This is without question the most promising protection I’ve found for my stomach and it also solved my bathroom, gas, and bloating issues in less than a week

Hello Jimi,
You may not know this, but the reason Grow Your Own Vegetables exists is that my parents raised me in a vegetable garden among plants and sunshine. I was kind of like one of their seedlings.
They wanted the best for me, so they created a great environment for me to thrive. They knew that life-long, healthy habits are the key to a happy life.
And I am eternally grateful that they instilled in me a respect for nature that nourishes me... mind, body and spirit.
So I’m always looking for ways to pass this kind of love onto the next generation.
Do you have young ones near by… family members or neighbors?
You probably want the best for them, too.
And with all the uncertainty in the world right now, I know a lot of parents are looking for a way to not only safely boost their children’s immune system, but also to empower them with life-long tools to ensure their health and well-being.
It can be tough to navigate all the advice, especially when so many modalities of health are conflicting or seem to vilify the others!
This is where Integrative Medicine comes in…
An integrative approach is holistic in the sense that it looks at ALL modalities and helps you identify which philosophy or strategy is best for your specific child at that specific time.
I’m truly excited to share this upcoming opportunity for you to learn the most cutting-edge information you need to protect your family’s health!

The list of speakers includes:

6 Ways to Stay Out of the Hospital
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
The No. 1 way to avoid the dangers of the hospital is to stay healthy. It’s not rocket science, but the fact is that too many people ignore commonsense rules for staying healthy.
As a result, they end up in the hospital to treat preventable conditions. These simple habits will go a long way toward keeping you healthy:
Special: Stress Impacts Your Heart — Now There's Something You Can Do About It
1. Maintain Your Ideal Weight. Obesity is one of the chief culprits in heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. For most people, their ideal weight was what they weighed in high school.
2. Avoid tobacco. Studies have repeatedly found there is no safe form or safe level of tobacco use. This is also true for tobacco chewers, and scientists are raising the alarm about e-cigarettes as well.
3. Eliminate alcohol. There’s a pervasive belief that people who drink alcohol moderately live longer, but that’s a myth. In fact, this belief was disproven in 2016, when a research team reviewed nearly 90 previously completed studies, and found no evidence that moderate drinking provided a longevity edge.
4. Exercise. Numerous studies show that exercise not only helps you live longer, it also keeps you feeling better longer.
5. Cut stress. When you’re under stress, your body releases hormones that cause an increase in chronic bodily inflammation — a key heart disease driver. Ways to help beat stress include exercise, learning to delegate work responsibilities, turning to family and friends for support, volunteering, and connecting with your place of religious worship.
6. Be predictable. Your body thrives on predictability. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day.

| Tim Hammond recently released the most popular video from the Grow Food Not Grass summit on to his Youtube channel. With prepping for fall gardens under way I figured now would be as good a time as any to send that video out. If you have not had a chance to watch it (or even if you have) you should check it out if you ever struggle with getting seeds to germinate. This will help you get more consistent germination rates and better over all yields. So go give it a watch: The Seed Starting Mini-Masterclass Keep Grow'n, Jason PS - While you are there please give the video a like and subscribe to Tim's channel. His content is amazing and he is not nearly popular enough. Go check it out! |
