June 2002 from Bill Henderson ( http://www.Beating-Cancer-Gently.com): As of January 1, 2002, Bill said: "I called the Medicare office in D.C. and they told me that, as a result of a law passed by Congress effective January 1st, 2002, Medicare will pay for nutritionist advice (and even some of the products and treatments) IF (there's always an IF) you have been diagnosed with: 1. Diabetes 2. Kidney disease or you are on organ transplant follow-up. Didn't know this? Check it out. A federal law was passed by Congress in January. Private insurance companies who sell Medigap and other health policies are just now picking up on it". Free Website Survey From the Life Extension Institute BLOOD TESTING The high cost of blood testing keeps most people from discovering correctable risk factors that could predispose them to developing degenerative disease. The Life Extension Foundation broke down these high price barriers years ago by offering discounted blood tests directly to the public. New Physician Telephone Consultation Service If you have questions about how to interpret your blood test results, you can discuss these at no charge with a licensed nutritionist knowledgeable about these blood tests. If your tests reveal significant abnormalities, we suggest you see your physician, or arrange for a telephone conference with a physician associated with The Life Extension Foundation. The normal price for a telephone conference with a doctor to discuss your blood results is $85.00. Foundation members pay only $50.00. These telephone consultations are by no means a substitute for hands-on physician intervention, but they can help guide you to the proper specialist, provide insight on lifestyle changes you may want to consider, and give you an opinion on what you may ask your treating physician to do to help correct the abnormality(s). When you place your order, you will be sent a list of blood drawing stations in your area. http://www.lef.org/cgi-local/welcome.cgi/id=151066901/sgroup_id=699/welcome.html 1/05 BILL HENDERSON OFFERS TELESEMINARS: Want to exchange information with other cancer patients?
