Located at 2520 6th Line, Oakville. there are some severe problems with the system. One concern we all have is the lengthy delay in getting to see specialists, having diagnostics performed, and then waiting for treatment like surgery. These problems are now referred to as going on the dreaded Wait List. There is no doubt that waiting for medical services will cause stress, anxiety, a loss of income, and potentially a further deterioration in your physical state. In 2007, according to the Fraser Institute, the number of procedures for which people waited totaled over 825,000. The median wait between patients being referred by their GP to the onset of treatment was over 18 weeks in Canada and about 15 weeks in Ontario. Sheer demographics would suggest our already financially overburdened healthcare system is only going to get worse as more of us age and require medical services just as our most experienced doctors will be retiring right alongside of us. The solution lies in a new insurance product which does not replace our provincial health plan but rather provides rapid access to medical care when the current healthcare system cannot. Called Medical Access Insurance (MAI), the service begins when a client is placed on a medical wait list for over 135 covered conditions and procedures. Once the client's claim is approved, MAI begins to expedite treatment immediately as diagnosis and treatment will be provided either in Canada or the United States. There is no medical underwriting or evidence of insurability required. MAI pays the costs directly to the service provider, as well as some approved travel expenses, and the maximum lifetime coverage is $1 million USD per individual. Imagine your peace of mind knowing you will receive the timely, premium healthcare you deserve. Visit www.whywaitinsurance.com for more information. By Bruce Cumming CFP, RFP, CLU, CHFC, CIM, RHU, TEP, EPC EAV is a non-invasive computerized assessment of a person's "energetic health" and balance. EAV is physics not chemistry. Everyone is familiar with the existence of the different organs and glands in the body as well as but not exclusive to the nervous, endocrine and circulatory systems. There exists an invisible component of all organs, glands and systems called the acupuncture meridian system. Meridians are a network of "energy" channels used for communication and the movement of energy (Qi) throughout the body. These channels provide a more complete understanding of the nature of health. Every function in the body depends on the correct energy. All disease initially begins as a functional (energetic) disturbance that becomes a clinically recognizable disease over time. This governing role of energy in the body has been known since ancient times. Traditional Chinese Medicine clearly states this important principle as "blood follows Qi."This means the physical aspect of the body is subordinate to the energetic, not the reverse. Hence, "energetic health" comes before "physical health." Why EAV? · Enhance your body's natural healing power by identifying your "health priority." · Assess organ function and meridian (Qi) imbalances. · Evaluate the "Tooth/Body/Health" connection or screen for dental material bio-compatibility. · Develop strategies for hormonal and adrenal balancing. · Supercharge your immune system. · Identify bio-compatible nutritional, botanical or homeopathic remedies that work for YOU! · Detect food/environmental sensitivities. · Discover natural alternatives for chronic or acute challenges. If you have unresolved health challenges, EAV can provide a higher level of understanding of your health status and assist in evaluating the most probable cause(s).
