Obama UNcare

WOW, I just read this article and it is FANTASTIC!!!  As much as I feel for those who can only think of, "Going to see their doctor," it made my future as an alternative practitioner look bright and cheery.  Hats off to true health care providers--whether traditional or alternative.  YAY to those who truly care for the sick and weary--care so much as to drop out of a system bent on destruction!!!

The “right” to health care does not require a doctor to work for free

November 23, 2012 1:25 pm by | 206 Comments


After the election, a lot of people are excited that they can now get health care. Or maybe not quite yet, but by 2014, when ObamaCare is fully implemented.

The only problem is that health care is not like an Obama phone. The phones are all made by a standard process in a factory, probably in China, and they usually work.  You can use them to call a health care provider. But you usually get the ’if this is an emergency, hang up and dial 911,’ followed by the phone menu.

How will this change with ObamaCare? Doesn’t that give you a right to care?
Whenever someone tells me about the “right” to health care, I ask, “From whom? From me?” This question exposes this “right” for the robbery and slavery that it is. Take it to the next step. Do you really want to exercise your “right” to health care on a physician who doesn’t want any part of this bargain? What kind of care do you think you’ll receive?

Years ago, I stopped doing cardiac anesthesia, because well over half of the patients were ’covered’ by Medicare and payment to me for my services was well below what I thought acceptable ($285 for my last 6-hour cardiac anesthetic). Soon thereafter I stopped my dealings with Medicare (and Medicaid) altogether as I increasingly saw myself as the recipient of money taken from my neighbors against their will. As an aside, the angriest patients I’ve ever encountered were the Medicare patients I subsequently treated with no charge whatsoever. My providing charitable care elicited patient rage like none I’ve encountered since.

About two weeks after I quit, an angry cardiac surgeon, inconvenienced by my departure from the group of available cardiac anesthesiologists and with his finger in my face, told me that he was going to see to it that I was forced to do these anesthetics, so as not to disrupt his schedule. I guess he thought he had a “right” to my services.

It didn’t help things that I laughed. I said, ’Dr. X, I’ll be happy to visit with the family before their loved one’s elective surgery and inform them that I want no part of this and that I don’t really want to be here, but someone is making me do this. Maybe you all would like to wait for an anesthesiologist who wants to be part of this, because I certainly don’t.’

This cardiac surgeon suddenly understood. Now imagine this on a large scale. Angry mobs of folks waving their ObamaCare ’insurance’ cards in the street demanding their free health care outside a closed and vacant doctor’s office.

That is what Obamacare is: an insurance card. Come 2014, you’ll have to certify to the IRS that you have such a card, one that is acceptable to the government. Or else you’ll have to pay the government for the ’choice’ to not have insurance: a minimum of $95 at first, climbing to $695 in a few years.

So keep that ObamaCare card handy. Either you or the taxpayers will have paid maybe $15,000 a year for it. Or it is very likely to be a Medicaid card. You’ll need the card when you call the health care provider. If you make it through the phone menu, your insurance number will likely be the first question you will be asked. This will tell what type of care you are eligible to receive and from whom, and how much the provider will be paid.

It is likely that the provider will not be a physician. The physician you might eventually see will not be working for you. He’ll be working for an ObamaCare Accountable Care Organization, which is paid for not providing care.

If too many doctors quit, the government might try to make them work. But will your doctor still care if you point a gun at him? The fear of having to see such a doctor may be the great new incentive for ’wellness.’ght 2012 MedCity News. All rights reserved.

VibesUp wish list

I just took the time to create a wish list at the VibesUp website.  I love their water bottle which I've been using for about half a year.  It sure beats lugging water around all over the place.  Recently I bought the back wrap and the allergy bracelet and have been enjoying their healing energies as well.

These awesome people are giving away 2 $100 wish lists every week in December so I urge you to go and spend some time making your wish list too.  I am working on becoming a VibesUp dealer so that tells you how impressed I am with these products.  Seriously, if you've got back pain, try the back wrap.  The knee wraps are on my wish list.  ;)

Happy shopping at VibesUp.com and feel free to check out my wish list here http://vibesup.com/shop/wishlist.php?publicwishlist=5279c491111bc849928ee17c07becfe6

SO EXCITED

I am sooo excited!!!!!!!!!!  All year I have felt excitement.  Whenever I prayed for understanding about the end of this year, I felt encouraged that it would be a positive thing for the inhabitants of this planet.  It's so different than how I felt when I was anticipating the problems as 2000 approached.   There has been no fear but only excitement about some unknown wonderful thing that will come to pass for our benefit.

I kept praying for wisdom to know how I can best help others to prepare and today I found the explanation.  I urge you to take half an hour and listen to this Mayan explain how the coming eclipses, so close together, can be used to usher in a world of peace. 

Do you recall my writing that God IS bringing peace on the planet?  He is removing the trauma from my past for me and He can and will do it for you too!!!  Every session that I do releases old traumas and peace moves in and huge sighs of relief follow.  Now I have the BETAR table to help with this too and the VibesUp products are bringing up our healthy energies already.  I AM feeling the higher consciousness through all of these methods and it makes me very excited for the surge of peace that will come to good ol' Earth here very soon.

This is GOOD news just like the good news that the angels shared with the shepherds so long ago when Christ came to dwell with us for a short time.  Let's prepare our hearts to receive, "Peace on Earth, good will to all men," for it is a wonderful gift to the Earth for those who are prepared to receive it!

I beg you to take this seriously as it will remove all fear as this Mayan explains to us here.  Why live in fear when peace is here?

God bless,

Dawn

‘Our life was a prison’: Rolla family gives thanks for health therapy that turned their lives around

November 22, 2012
By JILL SCHRAMM - Staff Writer (jschramm@minotdailynews.com) , Minot Daily News
ROLLA - Ten years ago, Elizabeth Hanson was exhausted, overwhelmed and ready to look at institutional care for a daughter with severe autism. As the mother of two severely disabled daughters and a sickly infant, she was at the end of her rope.
"I said I didn't know how long I can do this," she said. "I was searching for anything that could help."
Her search ended in February 2003. That's when Hanson, of Rolla, discovered BodyTalk, and she and her family began a new life that was shades different from the torment that they had been enduring. BodyTalk uses neuromuscular biofeedback to identify what the body needs and a tapping on the head and chest to then turn the body's attention to healing itself.

Elizabeth Hanson, right, and her daughter, Esther Hanson Bercier, sit Tuesday in The Health Tap suite in Rolla, where they practice BodyTalk.
Hanson said it is thanks to BodyTalk that she is the mother of three healthy children, a grandmother and a business owner. There was a time when she never dreamed that she might be described in any of those terms.
Before 2003, Scott and Elizabeth Hanson were the parents of two daughters with autism and hundreds of allergies. Their youngest daughter, an infant, also was suspected of having both conditions. Consequently, the Hansons were dealing with vomiting, fevers and obsessive-compulsive disorder on a regular basis.
The older daughter, Esther, had a hearing impairment. The middle daughter, Sarah was not toilet-trained at age 9, frequently defecated on belongings, had self-abuse issues and had sleep problems that even medicine sometimes didn't help. Hannah, the baby, suffered chronic infections.
Visits to the doctor were weekly, and emergency room trips were monthly. There were trips to medical specialists around the state, occupational and physical therapists, speech and language therapists and to autism clinic in Minneapolis as well as numerous daily supplements and medicines to take.
"Our life was a prison to the children's disabilities," Elizabeth Hanson said. "People don't see that now because we were set free. BodyTalk set us free. It changed the entire trajectory of our lives."
The Hansons learned about a chiropractor, Jonathan Dietz, and his wife, Stephanie, then of Bismarck, who were seeing good results with BodyTalk to treat allergies.

Fact Box

What is BodyTalk?
The BodyTalk System increases internal communication to get a body back in balance, according to information from the International BodyTalk Association.
Neuromuscular feedback provides a practitioner with yes or no answers to a comprehensive protocol of questions, allowing the practitioner to establish what type of balancing the body needs to harmonize body-mind function. This includes finding out which body systems need to be in communication at the physiological, biochemical, circulatory, nervous, emotional and/or energy levels.
The patient and/or practitioner touch the parts that need repair, and the practitioner then uses his or her fingers to gently tap the head of the patient in order to focus the brain toward repair. Experiments with biofeedback apparatus show a major increase in brain activity in relation to those parts when tapping occurs. The practitioner then lightly taps the chest to store the changes in deep memory.
BodyTalk involves no invasive or dangerous techniques. However, the association advises that BodyTalk is not a substitute for conventional medical care.
BodyTalk originated in Australia in 1996. Dr. John Veltheim developed a treatment protocol to address diseases such as dyslexia, chronic infections, poor immune system functioning, certain types of allergies, poor blood sugar balancing, arthritis and musculo-skeletal disorders. The system is based on the wisdom of advanced yoga, the energy dynamics of acupuncture, the clinical findings of applied kinesiology and western medical expertise.
Elizabeth spent a month in February 2003 in Bismarck with her daughters so they could receive frequent treatment. When they returned home, Sarah was toilet trained and her abusive behavior stopped. Esther no longer had obsessive-compulsive tendencies or hearing loss. Hannah recovered from a constant infection. Their allergies were gone.
"When I went down to Bismarck, I had three very sick and disabled children with me. A month later when I went home, I had three very healthy children and one disabled child," she said.
Sarah, 18, continues to have autism, although it is less severe. She finished high school and is taking vocational training, including doing office work in her mother's business.
Esther, 20, was a fifth-grader functioning at kindergarten level and receiving most of her education through home school when she was treated with BodyTalk. Immediately, she improved academically and graduated from Rolla High School in 2010 as an honor student. She was active in Girl Scouting, 4-H and dance. She now is a married college student with a son.
Hannah, 11, is home-schooled and is following her parents and sister Esther in training in BodyTalk.
Hanson said Jonathan Dietz encouraged her to become trained in BodyTalk to continue providing care to her daughters at home. She received the training in August 2003.
"It was so logical. It just made so much sense, and it was so simple and easy to follow. It was just amazing," she said. "I never planned to have a job outside the home. I never planned to have a business. I only did this to help my children. That was it. But other people starting bringing me their children."
Her husband also started bringing people home to try BodyTalk. Hanson realized that she was going to need her own space. A Rolla chiropractor urged her to set up in his office.
"It just grew from there and it wasn't anything I planned, but it's something I am passionate about. The whole reason I do this is to remove suffering," Hanson said.
She said BodyTalk doesn't replace conventional medicine but it picks up when traditional medicine has done all it can.
"Doctors are valuable. They helped us. They did for many, many years what they can do," Hanson said. "BodyTalk just does more."
Her children's doctors, in seeing the change in the girls, told her to keep doing what she was doing, she said.
"It doesn't make me better than (doctors). It just makes me different," she said.
A BodyTalk practitioner has no special powers of healing other than getting the attention of the subconscious so the body can heal itself, just as it heals a wound or fights off a virus, she said.
Because of the billions of bits of information the subconscious mind handles every second, the body might not get around to addressing an issue that needs its attention, according to the principles of BodyTalk. Stress, poor diet and other factors can add to that inattention. The theory behind BodyTalk is that the body can communicate its issues using neuromuscular feedback. Then a connection can be made with the subconscious so that the body can heal itself.
The body determines the priorities and guides the BodyTalk practitioner, Hanson said.
"I cannot do anything but what the body asks," she said.
BodyTalk has been used to aid in treatment of infections, menstrual irregularities, multiple sclerosis, emotional disorders, digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraines and to promote athletic performance. It can improve quality of life for cancer patients, Hanson said.
There are 34 practitioners listed with the North Dakota BodyTalk Association at (ndbtassociation.wix.com). Twelve hold certification from the international association. Hanson has trained hundreds of people in the technique. She holds advanced certifications achieved by just 70 practitioners around the world. Body Talk is practiced in 40 countries.
Hanson's studio, The Health Tap, is located on Main Street in Rolla. Her daughter, Esther Hanson Bercier, who trained in BodyTalk at age 12 and became certified at age 16, now has her own practice, The Happy Tapper, at her mother's studio.
"What I like about BodyTalk is it's simple and it's a complete way to treat the body," Bercier said.
Bercier has few memories of her childhood before BodyTalk. The memories she recalls sometimes are unpleasant, such as having to take numerous bad-tasting pills.
"After BodyTalk, I became normal and had a life," she said. "I have a life where I probably wouldn't have."
Because of what BodyTalk did for her, she wants to help other people, Bercier said.
The founder of BodyTalk, Dr. John Veltheim, is writing a second book that is expected to be published next year. He has indicated that Bercier's story will be included.
Also in the new year, Hanson will be holding an entry-level BodyTalk Access class Feb. 10 in the Skyline Room at Trinity Hospital, Minot. Information will be posted on the state association website.

Thanks living

As you know, if you've been reading my thoughts these past few months, God has really been blessing me through the writings of Pastor Joseph Prince of Singapore!!!  Every morning God instructs me to read Pastor Prince's daily devotional which I am sharing below.  In addition to this, numerous times throughout the day, I feel led to read Pastor Prince's posts on Facebook and our family is reading his book, "Unmerited Favor" during our weekly worship service.

As I read the devotional this morning, I thought about how thankful I am to have found Pastor Prince.  Then I thought about how thankful I am to be learning to receive God's love continually throughout the day.  Lastly I realized that there is NOTHING that I want to hold back from God because that part He can't bless.

I urge you to read these thoughts with true thanksgiving.  Also, begin to see how special you are to God which can only lead to thanks living.  Like me, I urge you throw out all self belittling thoughts! I urge you to attempt to grasp the BIG things that God wants to do through you!!  He needs you to bring others to Him so that they, too, can begin to grasp His immense love for them.  We are all constantly blessed beyond measure we just don't see it at times!

Happy thanks LIVING dear ones.  I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!

God Wants To Set You Up For A Blessing
Ruth 2:12
12
The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”

Have you ever wondered why, in some Bible stories, God asked the people to give what little they had to Him? It may appear cruel, but the truth is that God was setting them up for a blessing! God’s way is to use whatever we have, and multiply it back to us once we put it in His hands.

The widow of Zarephath had only a handful of flour and a little oil to make one last meal for her son and herself before they faced starvation. But she trusted God and used a portion of the little that she had to make a cake for the prophet Elijah. And God rewarded her by making sure that her bin of flour was not used up and her jar of oil did not run dry until the drought ended. (1 Kings 17:8–16)

Similarly, the boy who gave his little lunch of five loaves and two small fish to Jesus not only ate well, but he also saw it being used to feed more than 5,000 people with 12 baskets full of leftovers! (John 6:1–13)

Whenever we give what little we have to God, whether it is money, time or energy, it opens up our hearts so that God can fill us up with more. And when we give our lives to God, we can trust Him to make things right for us and to be the rewarder of our faith.

When Ruth, a childless Moabite widow, left the comfort of her home to follow her mother-in-law Naomi and the God of Israel back to a foreign land (Ruth 1:16), she was given a full reward by the Lord. God gave Ruth protection and ensured that she was well-provided for through Boaz, a wealthy relative who took on the role of kinsman-redeemer for her and Naomi. (Ruth 2:9, 4:9–10)

Beloved, as you trust God with what you have today, know that He loves you and is setting you up for more blessings. So expect to see even more of His provision and abundance in the day

1.  God and the freedom to worship Him freely--nuff said.  :)

2.  My wonderful family.

3.  The essentials (food, water, house, clothing)

4.  Our farm and everything that goes along with that.  ;)

5.  All of my friends (and clients).

7.  Modern technology (vehicles, computers, tablets, cell phones........)

8.  Money--comes in handy down here bub!

9.  Guns and ammo and knowing how to use them

10.  Games (Taboo, Funglish, Volleyball, ping-pong, Rook, and 1 strategy game per MONTH)

So, I ask you, is there REALLY such a thing as a generation gap???

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you dear readers who probably all are thankful for the very same things as we are here on our farm on the prairies of North Dakota. 

God bless.

Writer's Guild

Hi everyone in the Napoleon, ND area.  I have decided to see if we can start a writer's guild in our neighborhood.  If you are interested, please leave a comment.  Another idea that I just had is that perhaps we could do it online????  If so, this is my first contribution.

 Normally I don't ever share something that I haven't written at least a week ago, and gone over it with a fine tooth comb a hundred times, but it just came to me now.  I hope that it will inspire others to put their thoughts down on paper.  Being I've been dealing with arthritis for awhile now, these thoughts came rather quickly to me. 

God bless,

Dawn


If I were old
by Dawn Bornemann

If I were old and crippled, bent,
Would you recall me then?
If I were old and sick at heart
Would you sing for me then?

If I were old and saddened by
The empty table seats.
If I were old and all alone
Would you eat with me then?

If I were old--my eyesight dim,
And all I do is think of him.
If I were old and weak and thin,
Would you hold my hand then?

If I were old and my heart sad,
And all the memories of me glad,
Are locked away as though they're bad,
Would you still love me then?

What will you do for your country today?

God has given us the most free nation of any EVER!!!

 We have a Constitution which has preserved the freedoms of our people for over 200 years.

We have the chance to go and vote today for the people that we think will best represent us in our legislatures and in the White House.

We even have the right to run for public office if we don't like any of the choices out there!

  We also have the right not to go out and vote and then sit and bitch for the next 4 years about how things are run. We have that right!!!

We have the right to pray for our country and criticize people who are political activists for not observing the "Separation of church and state." I know many people like this who falsely interpret that phrase to mean that Christians should not be involved in politics. The only time the phrase, "Separation of church and state" was used at the start of our country was to teach the people that the government had NO RIGHT to establish a government led church as the Church of England which they had just escaped from.

  We have the right to sit back and do nothing today. We can just twiddle our thumbs while communism seeps further and further into our government. We can dig our heads in the sand a little further and say, "It's not my problem."

Can't you see that that is why we ARE in this position with a corrupt government? For generations and generations Christians in this country have simply "PRAYED" that God would bless America without realizing that He already had when HE gave us freedom from England AND our incredible Constitution.

  I challenge you to get out and vote today.

  Pray about how to vote and then drive to your voting precinct and vote.

  If this is too much effort for you, then I challenge you to go to JBS.org and spend some time reading about ways that you can get involved to help save our country.

 Pray and then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pray that God will save America from the destruction it deserves for no longer defending life in the womb.

  I pray for my country's leaders to call upon Him constantly and to keep their oath to the Constitution which they swore when they took office.

I pray that my country will always remain FREE but, I'm sorry to say, praying is NOT enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I urge you to listen to this awesome song and then get out there and vote the way God leads you to vote.

MAY GOD SAVE AMERICA BY WAKING UP IT'S HOARDS OF APATHETIC PRAYER WARRIORS AND PUTTING THEM TO WORK FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOMS!

Happy 17th

Today my son, Jacob, turns 17 years old. I remember his birth well. It was at home and the midwife was in Wisconsin. We had no cell phones then so she stopped every few hours to call us from a pay phone and see how we were doing as they quickly returned for the birth. They made it to our house in Temvik a couple of hours after Jacob was born and their children were so excited to see the baby. We were too!

Now it's 17 years later and my son helps to run the farm.  Jacob is a young man with friends around the world, thanks to Farm Sim.  He can run a radionics machine like nobody I know--other than our instructors.  Jacob makes me smile with his easy wit and his great big smile.

I think it's so awesome that God honored this day by sharing this photo with me.  Just think, my son once fit inside of my womb.  It looks so cozy in there--so nice, and warm, and cozy.

I love you Jacob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                     Mom

Bailey is HERE!!!

  WE HAVE A DOG!!!  YAY.  Her name is Bailey and she's 3 years old.  She's a Yellow Labrador Retriever and we're in love already...
