Comment on Livongo rakes in $105M, introduces partnership with Cambia Health Solutions by Christie

Christie — Thu, 12 Apr 2018 14:49:00 +0000

WELL. I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes and put on Metformin on June 26th, 2017. I started the some diet and followed it 100% for a few weeks and could not get my blood sugar to go below 140. Finally i began to panic and called my doctor, he told me to get used to it. He said I would be on metformin my whole life and eventually insulin. At that point i knew something wasn’t right and began to do a lot of research. Then I found Lisa’s diabetes story (google ” How I freed myself from diabetes ” ) I read that article from end to end because everything the writer was saying made absolute sense. I started the diet that day and the next week my blood sugar was down to 100 and now i have a fasting blood sugar between Mid 70’s and the 80’s. My doctor took me off the metformin after just three week of being on this lifestyle change. I have lost over 16 pounds and 3+ inches around my waist in a month. The truth is we can get off the drugs and help myself by trying natural methods

Comment on IBM takes on drug-resistant cancers by Sheila Nico

great news! as I have read in the Consumer Health Digest that cancer cells can act very individually which means it could not really react to the same drug, I just hope IBM can help out with this

Comment on Why I won’t be switching to Medtronic’s 670G insulin delivery system billed as the first artificial pancreas by Bob Clarke

Bob Clarke — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 23:33:00 +0000

I echo that there is a lot of misinformation here. I have been on the 670 g for 7 weeks and although there is a tough learning curve…the pump is FANTASTIC and I would highly recommend anyone to thoroughly investigate it.

Comment on Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Quest Diagnostics and others launch blockchain initiative focused on provider data (Updated) by Michael Cadger

Michael Cadger — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 14:51:00 +0000

Good article, Erin Dietsche ! Unfortunately, plan administrators being largely insurers, will move very quickly to adopt the buzzword but very slowly to use it effectively. The greatest value proposition in blockchain is providing much more credible data in a highly scalable format. This optimizes decision-making and re-purposing of data for multiple poorly integrated services including but not limited to: referral optimization, prior-auth process improvement, telemedicine, patient engagement, medical/population/disease/complex chronic care management, drug management, patient education, dynamic treatment protocols, personal health records, disability management, enrollment and eligibility.

Comment on Facebook hits pause button on research project that asked hospitals to share patient data by Ruth SoRelle

Ruth SoRelle — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 14:43:00 +0000

This is not anonymized data. This is coded data. Given Facebooks’ record, this project can never go forward. Linking medical records to Facebook profiles is a horrendous idea. Shame on Zuckerberg

Comment on Facebook hits pause button on research project that asked hospitals to share patient data by Michael Cadger

Michael Cadger — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 14:22:00 +0000

This is a phenomenally horrific idea !! While FaceBook collects more information on individuals (and sells it shamelessly and irresponsibly) than they tell individuals. FB isn’t your friend. We must recognize that FB subscribers aren’t their customers. On the contrary, they are the product !!

And despite rightful moral arguments against eugenics, what FB is suggesting is the informational foundation to enable eugenics to become reality. FB is the greatest threat to empowering human social and physical engineering. (Think “The Final Solution”.) If anyone believes FB will hold your personal health info (or any other info for that matter) as your sacred personal property, you are delusional.

I don’t use FaceBook and never will. Years ago I started filling out the FB application and after a few questions I realized FB wanted more info than I was willing to provide and stopped the process because I recognized FB would never stop trying to collect and monetize personal data — regardless of legal or moral prohibitions.

Comment on Telehealth startup that sees a way to cure Type 2 diabetes closes $45M Series B round by Jason LeCount

Jason LeCount — Fri, 06 Apr 2018 05:27:00 +0000

There’s already a simple cure — start the Ketogenic diet. I have type 1 diabetes and have had it for ten years now, so I produce effectively zero insulin. My hba1c is 5.9. For type 2 diabetics, you could achieve much greater results! Give it a go and find out for yourself. If you’re committed — it isn’t easy — you will succeed.

Good luck!
Jason

Comment on How much do EHRs impact heart failure patient care? by Steven Walter

Steven Walter — Wed, 04 Apr 2018 19:59:00 +0000

The question is not what is wrong with EHR, but why can’t cardiologist treat heart failure? Seems it doesn’t occur to them that might be influencing the outcome of their poorly designed study! Conversely as with all EMR’s they must be used. I have spelll chkr on my computer!

Comment on Is the Trump administration undermining value-based care? by Kathy Murrayleisure

Kathy Murrayleisure — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 01:30:00 +0000

Many of the Amish in Pennsylvania who have no health insurance were among the best in securing reasonably-priced medical and surgical services from health care systems. They arrived in a horse-drawn buggy and paid 100% cash. Like those experienced in “the art of the deal”, they negotiated the best prices as time allowed. They had Mennonite friends drive them out of state for a cheaper MRI, Xrays, or equivalent surgical procedures as needed, if they were unable to bring down local prices. Price transparency and local flexible options are basic to a health care system which benefits both providers and consumers, patients and the public.

Comment on Is the Trump administration undermining value-based care? by Kathy Murrayleisure

Kathy Murrayleisure — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 01:17:00 +0000

Flexibility, more direct patient choices, perhaps health savings accounts, and PRICE TRANSPARENCY are key reforms needed for high quality but frugal health care in the future.

Comment on Is it any surprise that corporate giants are taking on healthcare? by S. Williams

S. Williams — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 12:29:00 +0000

Mr. Lareau: With all due respect, your optimism related to Amazon et al is without foundation. Like so many in the tech sector, or the consultant world, you seem to believe that if we just had more innovation, we could “fix” health care and the attendant high cost and poor quality. But that, alas, is not the case. If you ever studied process improvement you’d know why. Processes aren’t principally improved by the deployment of new technology. They improve through the redesign of the processes themselves (inputs and outputs). The design of health care is the problem, not the lack of technology or innovation. Design begins with reimbursement–all systems get exactly what they pay for. In the American model, we pay for episodic, disconnected care in specialty clinics and hospitals. We also pay variably among the various payer types, commercial, medicare, medicaid. The only “fix” for this system is single payer or a highly regulated payer environment. Everything else, as they say, is rearranging the deck chairs on the health care Titanic. I wish more people would stop expecting a different result from the same payment schemes.

Comment on What are the biggest challenges for telemedicine programs? by EHR Guide

EHR Guide — Thu, 29 Mar 2018 15:17:00 +0000

Erin – Great article. Because of the obstacles you point out, the healthcare industry
hasn’t yet seen the breakout of telemedicine that everyone expected. Recently, a
pioneer in the telemedicine space wrote a white paper about the challenges of integrating
telemedicine into EHRs and potential solutions. For anyone looking to dig
deeper, this is a good read. http://ehrguide.org/white-paper-integrating-telemedicine-into-ehrs/.
