End Of NHS Funded Homeopathy Could Leave Some UK Residents With No Other Choice But To Seek Private Medical Insurance

After examining the claims of homeopathy, the House of Commons select committee on science and technology has concluded that the NHS should no longer provide funding for the treatment.

End Of NHS Funded Homeopathy Could Leave Some UK Residents With No Other Choice But To Seek Private Medical Insurance

Homeopathy – a 200-year-old complementary medical practice – uses heavily diluted substances which are thought to cause similar symptoms to the illnesses they are being used to treat; thus triggering the body’s natural healing process.

Millions of patients across the globe swear by homeopathic treatments while others dismiss it as nothing more than a ‘placebo’.

Whichever side of the debate you’re on, life insurance comparison website – QuoteBoffin.co.uk – believes that every patient should have the right to seek medical care they feel is appropriate for them.

A spokesperson for QuoteBoffin.co.uk said: “Freedom of choice is something that Britain prides itself on. Removing homeopathy f r o m the NHS medical roster means a percentage of patients are being denied the right to choose a method of treatment they believe is most appropriate or may work better for them than other forms of medicine.

With health insurance providers still offering homoeopathy treatments via carefully selected homeopathic specialists, patients wishing to pursue this line of treatment may have no other option but to seek private health cover.”

Complimentary therapies and medicines are available via some of the UK’s biggest health insurance providers such as AXA PPP and BUPA.

Patients needn’t worry about paying through the nose for homeopathic treatment out with the NHS claims QuoteBoffin.co.uk: “The end of homoeopathy on the NHS doesn’t mean the end of homoeopathy full stop. Health insurance premiums start f r o m as little as £5 per month which is a small price to pay for peace of mind and first class healthcare which covers homeopathy and beyond.

With the rise and rise of price comparison websites that allow consumers to check insurance prices, there’s no reason why you can’t get a good deal on an insurance package that allows you to retain freedom of choice with regard to medical care.”

Overcome Prescription Drug Addiction

Cliffside Malibu, a prestigious recovery facility on the Malibu coast, has long been a leading light in the California treatment community. Now, the center is pleased to announce its renewed commitment to helping clients overcome prescription drug addiction in a private and dignified setting.

Overcome Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction is personal problem. By the same token, prescription drug addiction treatment should be a private process. The best prescription drug addiction rehab facilities are those which most effectively shield their clients from public scrutiny. In the end, any inferior standard of care is simply unacceptable.

Those principles, in turn, are the bedrock of Cliffside Malibu’s treatment philosophy.

With its expert caregivers and posh amenities, Cliffside Malibu is a world-class institution. The prescription drug addiction treatment center has always catered to an elite clientele. Now Cliffside is expanding its mission, with the goal of delivering the best care on the planet to those individuals who need it. At Cliffside Malibu, nothing less than excellence will ever be acceptable.

“Our celebrity clients face enormous challenges on the road to wellness,” said Cliffside Malibu’s Program Director. “As a prescription drug addiction treatment center, it’s our role to ensure that they’re allowed to pursue recovery without having to look over their shoulders for paparazzi. We believe that our long record of success reflects the depth of our commitment to confidentiality.”

Unfortunately, that commitment to confidentiality is also precisely what distinguishes Cliffside from its competitors.

Vista Bay Drug Rehab Success Through Holistic Cocaine Addiction Recovery

Video footage posted on YouTube offers the public a rare glimpse at Narconon Vista Bay Rehab, a drug and alcohol treatment center that’s renowned worldwide for its holistic cocaine addiction recovery program. Vista Bay Drug Rehab is not the sort of facility that’s in the spotlight, despite the fact that Narconon has built a reputation for highly effective holistic treatment programs for over 40 years. While the facility is highly regarded (with recognition that extends to being awarded a Congressional Certificate), the staff is content to let the center’s success in helping patients finally overcome their addictions speak for itself.

Vista Bay Drug Rehab Success Through Holistic Cocaine Addiction Recovery

Brandon (his last name is with held to protect his identity), a 22 year old who fought addictions to cocaine, marijuana and alcohol, is a typical success story. After years of substance abuse, doctors told him he had suffered permanent nerve damage. He was literally throwing his life away. He enrolled at vistabay, hoping to turn his life around, and after graduation wrote:

“I have been clean now for five months, and I will continue on this track for the rest of my life… I feel blessed that the Narconon program saved my life and I have learned to live life, instead of letting my environment (sic) have a negative effect on me.”

There have been thousands of other patients like Brandon. Watching the video on YouTube, where a graduate of the program recounts everything he’s gained since completing treatment, including reaching the stage where he’s able to set and achieve goals in his life, is poignant and helps to put a human face on why Narconon expends so much effort in helping people overcome addictions.

Vista Bay Drug Rehab Center is different from most other drug rehab clinics. The patient is the priority and the treatment program for each patient is customized to meet their individual needs. An all natural, holistic approach to cocaine addiction is employed, rather than the clinical treatment that most centers rely on and the success rate of Vista Bay Rehab supports the idea that holistic treatment is a superior method.

Narconon has offered drug addiction rehabilitation for over 40 years and the cocaine addiction program at Vista Bay Rehab continues to gain recognition for its success rate. Even though 30 days of additional treatment are offered should a patient suffer a relapse within six months of graduating from the program, the staff is seldom called upon to make good on this promise. Based in California, with a beautiful and well equipped facility (which can be seen on the YouTube video), Vista Bay Drug Rehab is truly a permanent solution to cocaine addiction and other substance abuse issues.

Vista Bay Rehab and Bay Area Community Create Family Intervention Success

Family is the constant that everyone should be able to count on. When a family member loses their way, becoming caught in the net of drug or alcohol addiction, Narconon Vista Bay Rehab is the addiction treatment facility of choice for family members who care enough to take action. While the holistic program at Vista Bay Drug Rehab differs radically from most clinical addiction recovery programs, the staff and their ability to reach out to the family of patients is one of the key reasons that vista bay graduates succeed where so many others fail. Testimonial from G.G., a father whose addict son was spiraling out of control is typical of what family members say of the program:

Vista Bay Rehab and Bay Area Community Create Family Intervention Success

“Living at home after his third state rehab stay things went from bad to worse. Our son began to steal money from family and friends. He would pawn expensive household things to support his habit. His cocaine habit had torn our family apart and the decision was made, I would take my own son to jail. I was forcibly placing him in the car when my wife came to me with what she called, the answer. She had contacted a man named Francisco at a place named Narconon. I told her it was just another 28 day rip off, but today I am glad she insisted. My son is still at Narconon, not as a patient, but helping others with their problems. ”

Other testimonials from families in the Bay area community, including those beginning to show up as a video on YouTube, are common. They reflect the fact that Vista Bay offers an extremely effective addiction treatment program (often succeeding where others have failed multiple times) and that the staff and family interaction, whether through intervention, treatment or follow-up after graduation, is both valuable and recognized within the community.
