Why not encourage (ie. fund) care providers to be proactive in how they treat people. Here is my example (based on recent experience) - recently visited a walk-in clinic with a sore throat (I suspected strep throat). They took a swab, I waiting 6 days then needed to return for another appointment to find out my results and get another prescription.

One of my ancestors, Dr. Francis Pottenger, studied ancestral diets because he suspected that much of the health problems modern humans were experiencing resulted from improper nutrition.

On the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation Web site (http://www.ppnf.org), you will find the following statement:

Credit to Daniel Heninger, writing in the Wall Street Journal. He suggests qualifier words, like "geographic pandemic" and "mortaility pandemic". I suggest public health recasts language that educates as well as informs. Example: "Handwashing Alert Critical in x, y, z region" (for airborne transmission) or "Facemask Alert Critical in x, y, z region" or "Home Quarantine Alert Critical".

Music is an ancestral tradition.

Music is a 'cheap health option' with minimal side-effects. This option has upside with little downside.

Explore the link between healthy multifractal heart rate rhythms and neuronal signaling patterns and music. In short, can multifractal music act to 'pace' diseased hearts into multifractal, healthy rhythms.

Doctors' offices -- like many independent contractors' offices -- leave harried voicemail messages, often without advising patients where to go if they have an emergency or need after-hours care. Many increasingly do not allow messages -- since the administrative staff can't handle the call volume.

My idea was to create a free social network and blogging platform for patients with chronic illness to find friendship, support, and tell their story of living with chronic illness. My hope is to bring the chronic illness community together through this simple website as well as raise awareness outside the community about what it is like to live with chronic illness.
