Real health care reform lies not in the realm of bigger government, but in a positive change in the behavior and habits of the people. Only the people can better themselves and learn the simple and essential truths that can solve health problems. Bigger government will only make everything worse.

There are many nutritional substances out there that may help, to some degree, the struggle through various health issues. But beyond the realm of struggle I have found the higher ground that comes as close to the perfect cure as anything can. Calcium fluoride is but one of the 12 homeopathic cell salts that we’ll concentrate on today, and it is the chief homeopathic remedy that strengthens the walls of blood vessels. Certainly, I would say that this cell salt is the chief prevention for aneurism. There is no substitute for calcium fluoride in nature, or in manufactured problem solvers.

This cell salt is also known as fluoride of lime. It is found in many places in the body. Bones, teeth, elastic fibers, blood vessels, brain, skin, cardiac and respiratory system, nose, ears, eyes, mouth, digestive system, excretory system, sexual organs, glands, nerves, and muscles all contain calcium fluoride. So it should come as no surprise that a deficiency of this one salt can create big problems anywhere in the body. Yet, how many people even consider it? The consequences of this are devastating in terms of health and the added cost to the health care system that does not address such a vital issue, but substitutes drugs and surgery to solve the problems brought about by deficiency.

As healthcare costs skyrocket people in the United States are flocking to other countries to receive medical procedures. The medical travel industry is booming, and is expected to grow exponentially. Medical tourism refers to the act of traveling to other nations for the cost benefit of having a procedure done in that country. Medical travel that was once relegated to those people wealthy enough to afford elective cosmetic or dental surgery outside of their home country is now being utilized by people of all walks of life for a variety of medical procedures. People who lack insurance, or who have high-deductible health plans are finding that medical travel offers them huge cost saving benefits. Even people in England and Canada with their universal health care insurance are taking advantage of medical tourism due to the extremely long wait lines in their own countries for certain procedures.

Many foreign medical travel destination hospitals, clinics, and spas offer state of the art facilities and excellent physicians, surgeons and supporting medical staff. The quality of care and state-of-the-art equipment at these facilities are equal to those that we enjoy here in the United States, sometimes even surpasses the quality of care here in the United States. These overseas hospitals emphasize their patient satisfaction level because a happy patient recommendation to someone else, gains that hospital another patient. Medical tourism procedures are preformed overseas for a fraction of the price that we would pay in the United States. In addition, the patient saves money even after the expenses associated with travel are factored in such as airfare, hotel, and food.

Originally medical tourism procedures that Americans traveled for were mainly dental work, cosmetic surgery, and other elective surgeries. Now the types of medical travel procedures people undergo include: organ transplants such as kidney and liver, weight loss, procedures for female and male infertility, tumor removals, laparoscopic surgery, physical therapy and other rehabilitation procedures, orthopedics, ophthalmology procedures, neurological procedures, diagnostics, and cardiovascular procedures such as open heart surgery, and atrial fibrillation surgery, among an ever expanding list.
