The latest reports from US governmental agencies shows our Health care spending at $1.9 Trillion dollars for the year 2004, with a population of 299 million, bringing the average spending to $6280 per person per year. We spent about 16% of our GDP on health and that should make us the healthiest people in the world .
Unfortunately that is not the case. The reasons are many, and the patients as well as healthcare professionals are trying to explore new ways to improve our health. World Health Organization, National Institute of Health, and many National and International organizations are researching into the current problems and possible solutions in taking care of our health.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, (NCCAM) report in 2002 reveals many interesting facts on use of CAM in US. Many patients use CAM practices, and majority of them self treat in conjunction with their conventional therapies. The primary health care provider usually is kept in the dark, and the potential risks of using any technique or product without expert guidance are very high.
We are running from one problem into another, possibly more complex than the existing chaos. It is very necessary to improve our awareness for better use of our resources in achieving optimum health.
International Wellness Foundation is dedicated to community health, bridging the gaps in our awareness and applications.
