28 NATIONAL GREYPOWER MAGAZINE » NOVEMBER 2015 BOARD MEMBER COMMENT Health is a little like the never ending story. As one chapter ends there are many more to follow. The unfortunate part of ill health is that it affects a person’s ability to enjoy the quality of life which we have become accustomed to. FROM JO MILLAR chair Health National Advisory Group As Grey Power moves towards its 30 year anniversary it is really pleasing to see that the Health Portfolio or as it is now known, the Health National Advisory Group, has always been one of the major focuses of the organisation. Although we still have a number of issues to resolve the great work done by previous and present chairs and committee members has resulted in some very good outcomes. Grey Power has a number of members on various consumer groups in the health sector. These people have been appointed or invited to participate due to their ability to contribute in no small way to better outcomes for all consumers but more especially those in the older age group. Our advocacy visits to Pharmac meant that we were able to get very good in-depth and invaluable information on the change to the diabetic meters which had caused a considerable amount of fear and concern to users. It was very heartening to hear the belief from members in the new meters once they fully understood exactly how they worked. Another very good outcome has been that Pharmac also keep us informed of any changes in funded medications and other areas they may be looking at. We have also established a very good direct contact within the Ministry of Health and this Legacy HEALTH... the neverending story has helped in being able to have any requests for information being sent to the right personnel. Another plus is the new direction the Ministry of Health is taking in that it is now more focused on clients rather than funding. It is also interesting to see that this attitude is slowly creeping into some district health boards. It is to be hoped that this will assist as we continue to work through the frustrating elective surgery issues which seem to be increasing rather than declining. Even if we cannot resolve all the problems if the client becomes more important they may receive better explanations rather than the current situation of “you do not meet the criteria” or “you do not meet the threshold”. From time-to-time we have put out surveys to you and I would like, on behalf of my committee, to thank you all most sincerely for your responses. The one response we get to all our advocacy issues is “Give us the stories.” It is your information which enables us to go to these meetings and explain how different In our modern world everybody should pursue a healthy lifestyle, of which I say being healthy is not by accident but by pursuing the right choices. The classic medical model did not cater for much other than chemical options and surgery. Luckily an American Natural Medical university brought in a new course for medical students and a post-graduate called “Lifestyle Medicine”. One outcome of this is the so-called CHIP diet (Cardio Health Improvement Program) by which thousands, or by now millions of lives have been improved, some of which with unbelievable recovery outcomes - a great part of our Western diet causes the wrong utilisation of calcium, producing plaque in arteries, veins, etc, and crippling stones in the joints etc. German scientists years ago already found that more Magnesium in our diet contributes to recovery. The Magnesium compound most natural to our body is Magnesium Chloride which works synergistically with Sodium Chloride (table salt) renders it useful instead of producing a high blood pressure (hypertension). If this Magnesium is in a slow release form and with an added low antacid in the same tablet the absorption is very lucrative at close to 100 percent. With all of the other natural components in a healthy diet, added Magnesium dislodges the issues affect your independence in day-to-day life. We welcome your experiences and the more we adversely deposited Calcium, puts it back in solution and deposits it in the bone structure. Thus, eating healthy combined with added Magnesium like UltiMag reduces the risk of osteoporosis. There are many signs of low Magnesium by which cramps, anxiety and sleeping disorders are the most common. In a medical study it was also shown that the umbilical cord in pregnant women with low magnesium can go into spasm (type of a cramp) which of course would prevent or reduce blood flow to the unborn. ULTIMAG produce the major necessary components for the best outcome, being Magnesium Chloride slow release with an antacid release at the same time. This tablet will pass through your gastrointestinal tract intact (in one piece). It won’t break up like the average tablet because the important elements inside of the tablet will released (colloidal) as fluid. You can see that and taste that by just leaving the tablet in the open air and after some hours you will see clear fluid drops on the surface of the tablet. Another home experiment which you can perform is to drop the tablet in a glass of water (which can be 37◦C - body temperature). After a long while the tablet will miraculously float to the top, the tablet matrix will be empty and would have been expelled by the body have the greater credence there is to our argument that current systems are not working.
