So tight is that grip, it&amp;#39;s taken for granted we can purchase insurance to obtain that medical care for a monthly payment exceeding the income of many back in the fifties and sixties. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wouldn&amp;#39;t it be wonderful to see insurance plans pop up that focuses more on natural, with allowances for procedures that made sense, like setting broken bones and such.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it came to be such an industry started growing [and survived the con of the lobbyists and frivolous suits], we&amp;#39;d also see more testing done on natural and inexpensive cures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This reminds me of my interactions with one brilliant and gifted doctor who was very open-minded. &amp;nbsp;if I told her I was very uncomfortable with an approach she suggested, she would say that is ok because nature offers many alternatives. &amp;nbsp;Rarely is there only one way of doing things. &amp;nbsp;We would discuss whatever the issue was and agree on a regimen I considered compatible with my situation. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People go around looking for a single magic bullet, not realizing they are surrounded by many diverse options and solutions. &amp;nbsp; The first step is opening our minds to research and actually seeing what is available. &amp;nbsp;Taking inventory of what is available and easily accessible. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It reminds me of a description a friend made. She said most people are like toddlers siting under a buffet table and crying because no one will feed them when all they need to do is stand up and help themselves tot the bounty. &amp;nbsp;How often are we like that 3-year old, abrogating our individual responsibility to care for our health and constantly running to a doctor for standard medicine &amp;quot;to cure&amp;quot; some opportunistic condition we have imposed upon ourselves?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Health and healing are the natural order of things... although you sometimes need to support and direct the actions of the body. &amp;nbsp;This requires basic understanding of physiological processes. &amp;nbsp;For example, if you want a broken bone to heal well, it must be set properly.&lt;/p&gt;
