Health Benefits

Health benefits achieved for clients who attended at least one workshop and three health coaching sessions, and adhered to the Super Meal program for at least 90 days:
  • Lowered Blood Glucose. Average drop: 89.7 points
  • Lowered Total Cholesterol. Average: 38 points
  • Lowered Blood Pressure. Average: 16.8 points
  • Lost weight. Average: 37 pounds
  • Reduced diabetic drug dosage. Average: 47%
  • Weaned off diabetic drugs. Average: 28%
  • Reduced other drugs for blood pressure/cholesterol. Average: 21%
  • Prevented unnecessary surgeries, post-op rehab: 87%
Unfortunately, most people do not take these savings into account when they find alternative therapies that are not covered by their insurance.

Most people pay their doctors $600 an hour and pay $25-$100 a month (and more!) for drugs, but because it's covered by their insurance, they don't see the underlying costs of the drugs, more drugs, the side effects, the future surgeries (i.e. amputation, eyes), hospice care, dialysis, increasing out-of-pocket expenses, etc.

Advantages of Alternative Complementary Medicine
There are several advantages of alternative medicine, especially when combined with Western medical treatment. When you choose to add alternative treatments to a Western treatment plan for a specific health situation, the process is referred to as Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) because the alternative treatments are working in conjunction with the primary health care plan, and the treatments complement each other. It's important to communicate with all health care providers to make sure the treatments work together, but as long as proper communication is established, you may benefit greatly from combining treatments.
The following list provides five reasons to add complementary alternative medical treatments as part of your health care.
Some Alternative Treatments are Holistic in Nature
Many alternative medical practices are more holistic-meaning all-encompassing-than Western medical treatments. While Western doctors do place some emphasis on preventative medicine, alternative treatments such as Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine are much more encompassing, examining your emotional, spiritual and physical health. The health advice you may get from these alternative doctors may reveal some interconnected aspect of your health that was overlooked by a Western doctor.
Many Alternative Treatments Have Been Proven Over Centuries
Several of the more popular alternative treatments-Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture-have been in practice for thousands of years. The wisdom of these lengthy practices should not be ignored, since these treatments have proven themselves over time.
Medicine is Not an Exact Science
While we'd all like to believe doctors know the answers to everything, the truth is that science is always changing. Studies may point us in the right direction, but nothing is proven to work all the time for everyone. Alternative treatments may not be considered conventional now, but the very practices that sound a little crazy today may be widely accepted in a decade. While you will want to proceed with caution when trying alternative treatments, you just may be one of the first to experience success with a new treatment that will later become standard.
Complementary Alternative Medicine Often Uses Natural Methods
Most complementary alternative medicine is based off natural methods of restoring health. Many people find the idea of using natural products and stimuli appealing and intuitive, since the idea that the earth provided everything we need to remain healthy is an appealing philosophy. Naturopaths use herbal remedies, massage therapists use therapeutic touch to heal, and yogi use breathing patterns, body poses, and meditation to bring comfort and relief to people. All of these natural remedies can supplement a Western care plan.
Alternative Treatments Can Reduce the Number of Prescription Drugs You Need
Tired of taking diabetic drugs because you don't like the side effects or they don't work? Don't want to manage your pain with drugs? Many alternative treatments offer relief without drugs. 
Yoga, meditation, and lifestyle changes such as dietary changes and exercise can help your diabetes; and, relieve mild depression or pain without the need for drugs.
You may want to work together with your Western doctor to see if you can use alternative treatments in place of some of the drugs you have been prescribed.
Note: Unfortunately, you need to be aware that many doctors are not willing to work with alternative treatments because these treatments may reduce your dependence on the drugs!

Please Note: Concerning insurance coverage, it's not that Mr. McCulley won't accept insurance, it's just that the insurance companies won't accept Mr. McCulley! Why? Because insurance companies are in bed with the pharmaceutical companies and they both want your money and they want you to depend on their drugs for the rest of your life!

The insurance companies are betting that you would rather pay them for their drugs because it's "covered" by insurance. But, actually it's not covered as much as you think. Once the drugs cause further damage, you'll end up taking more drugs until one day when you'll need hospitalization and surgery. Then, you'll find out that your insurance doesn't cover everything, and you'll end up with a $10,000 to $30,000 hospital bill!
