| Brumby unveils alternative health plan - Australian Broadcasting Corp. Posted: 07 Apr 2010 06:08 PM PDT Updated 
Victorian Premier John Brumby's plan will be presented to the next COAG meeting. (AAP: Julian Smith) The Victorian Government has released an alternative to the Commonwealth's planned health changes. The Putting Patients First plan proposes an increase in Commonwealth health funding to be distributed by the states. Hospitals would then give performance reports to both the federal and relevant state governments. Victorian Premier John Brumby says this model would clearly position the states as the level of government responsible for health. The Commonwealth wants to take control of health funding by withholding some GST revenue. State Health minister, Daniel Andrews, says Victoria's plan is a better option than having the Commonwealth redirect GST revenue into hospitals. "The model we have put forward today is practical, it's simple, it will work," he said. He says Victoria has increased bottom-line funding to hospitals and health services by 130 per cent in the past decade, treating more than an extra 700,000 patients this year than a decade ago. Mr Brumby says a true 50/50 partnership would mean a funding increase of $1.2 billion for patients next year. "Another key feature of this blueprint is a national health fighting fund to combat our five big killers and the underlying risk factors, such as obesity and smoking." Mr Brumby expects the "principles" of his model to enjoy support at this month's Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting. Mr Brumby says his staff rang the Prime Minister's office this morning to alert them to the plan. The Victorian Premier has opposed Kevin Rudd's plan saying it does not provide any new money for health care. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has strongly urged Mr Brumby to sign up to the Federal Government's health plan. Mr Rudd is hoping to reach an agreement with state and territory leaders at a COAG meeting in a fortnight on his proposal for the Commonwealth to become the dominant funder. He says he was elected with a mandate to deliver better health and hospitals. "I would just urge John [Brumby] to work with the Australian Government because state governments cannot afford to fund the system for the future," he said. "The Australian Government must be the dominant funder for the future. Mr Rudd has previously threatened to take the issue to a referendum if the states and territories cannot agree.

| Victoria pitches health plan alternative - ninemsn Posted: 08 Apr 2010 02:00 AM PDT Victorian Premier John Brumby says he's "fundamentally" opposed to the commonwealth seizing any of the states' GST revenues - regardless of where the money was to be spent. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd wants to use 30 per cent of GST receipts to fund his proposed overhaul of the nation's public hospitals. But Mr Brumby has told ABC TV the GST is an important source of revenue for the states and territories. They abolished and cut their own taxes when the GST was introduced, he said. "(So) I would fundamentally object to starting to hand that over because it's the thin edge of the wedge and where will it end?" Earlier on Thursday, Mr Brumby unveiled an alternative health plan which he believes the states and territories will support ahead of the prime minister's agenda. It reinforces Victoria's preference for a 50/50 funding split as opposed to Mr Rudd's proposal - which would see the commonwealth become the dominant funder of public hospitals by taking on 60 per cent of funding responsibility. Mr Brumby argues the commonwealth's plan is a sham because it takes GST funds and "recycles" it as new federal money. "What our analysis shows absolutely conclusively is that there is no new money in this for Victoria," he said. Over the next decade "the total real shift in commonwealth funding is from 40 per cent to 41 per cent" under Mr Rudd's plan. But if the commonwealth increased its contribution to 50 per cent Victoria would be $1.2 billion better off each year, Mr Brumby said. A genuine 60 per cent contribution could seal the deal. "If (the commonwealth) were to lift their real funding share to 60 per cent I'd be quite comfortable with that," he said. "If this was real new money that the federal government was talking about, of course, we'd have a conversation." If the states don't sign up to federal Labor's health plan at a Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting on April 19 Mr Rudd says he will hold a referendum on the issue. Mr Brumby said on Thursday night said he would oppose any such move. "I would, yes," he said. The commonwealth argues Victoria is already $5.1 billion better off under the current five-year healthcare agreement negotiated by federal Labor. It's proposed reforms would see the state receive an additional $3.8 billion in the five years from 2014. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

| BioVeda Health and Wellness Center of Milford, OH ... - PRWeb Posted: 08 Apr 2010 08:48 AM PDT Substance Specific Neurological Stress Reduction Therapy or NSRTSM is found very effective in the alleviation of symptoms associated with many chronic conditions such as allergies, asthma, migraines, chronic fatigue and a wide array of skin conditions. Currently over 300 practices throughout the country are using this holistic therapy including over 50 branded BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers. Milford, OH (Vocus/PRWEB ) April 8, 2010 -- BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers, LLC is pleased to announce the opening of a new BioVeda Health and Wellness Center in Milford, OH. The practitioners at this center, headed by Dr. Luke Reineck, are successfully providing therapy for those suffering from autonomic nervous system related conditions, such as allergies, IBS, chronic fatigue, migraines and a myriad of skin conditions including eczema, rosacea, shingles and psoriasis. The BAX 3000 system which is used in this clinic consists of new state-of-the-art technology. The BAX 3000 first measures the patient's neurological reactions to specific environmental substances presented in the form of sound via the FDA cleared DCM or Digital Conductance Meter. The substances that trigger a physiological stress spike, which is measured by the body's impedance to each substance, are recorded and then presented back to the patient during light therapy. Light therapy conditions the autonomic nervous system to react normally to the otherwise harmless substances. This form of alternative therapy can stop the process that leads to a host of chronic and acute conditions faced by over 60% of the US population. Thousands of patients nationwide have undergone therapy, and doctors report better than 80% of patients experienced drastically reduced or eliminated symptoms. The technology has been used successfully to address a variety of conditions caused by the nervous system's inappropriate response to typically harmless environmental substances such as peanuts, grass and common house pets. While not an FDA approved therapy for Autism, doctors and patients have reported significant positive changes in areas such as speech, vocabulary size, normalized effect and the ability to communicate with others in a short period of time. BioVeda Technologies, the manufacturer of the BAX 3000, is planning clinical studies to further document the affects of this therapy and the relationship to childhood neurological disorders. Neurological stress reduction therapy (NSRT), the groundbreaking technique that is offered at BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers™, is unique in that it combines environmental substance exposure and substance specific stress reduction therapy to reduce or eliminate inappropriate autonomic nervous system mediated responses which can trigger conditions such as allergies and symptoms such as rashes, indigestion and headaches which is how the body attempts to expel toxins. This is faster than traditional methodologies, highly accurate in substance specific assessment, non-invasive, painless and effective. It requires no drugs, no needles and no dietary restrictions. Some foods might have to be eliminated for 24 hours depending on the diagnostic results. The system is designed to focus on physiological stress, not to be confused with anxiety, which not only weakens the immune system, but is also the trigger for food allergies, seasonal allergies, pet allergies, asthma, eczema, migraines, shingles, celiac and numerous other auto-immune related conditions. How these specific substances affect the stress levels placed on our immune system has a direct impact on the quality of our daily lives. Nearly everyone can benefit from this type of therapy. "I became a BAX provider because I saw the need for this technology in healthcare," states Dr. Reineck. "I live in a neighborhood filled with people suffering from chronic conditions: kids who have allergies beyond the seasonal runny nose and patients that suffer from migraines, fibromyalgia or some other unresolved condition that has not totally improved with traditional chiropractic care. As a chiropractor I understand the affect stress has on the body and the function of a chiropractic adjustment is essentially to take the stress off the nervous system by restoring proper joint mechanics. The BAX 3000 now provides additional ammunition to address those stresses in combination with customized chiropractic care. I look forward to being the exclusive chiropractor on the east side of Cincinnati with the technology to help people restore a way of life that they thought was long gone and to assist people in pro-active strategies to maintain their current state of wellness." BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers are being established across the country through BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers, LLC., based in Boca Raton, FL. Each clinic is independently owned and operated by a licensed physician. The company was established in 2009 and is committed to utilizing the technology provided by its parent company, BioVeda Technologies, to provide effective and noninvasive therapeutic alternatives rooted in NSRTSM. BioVeda, which means "knowledge and wisdom of the body," reflects the vision and commitment of the Bethlehem center to alternative health care methods that can help thousands of patients reduce their level of suffering from common and debilitating symptoms. The BAX 3000 system has been shown to be effective with all types of substances, including seasonal reactions to hay fever, pollen, grasses and trees; environmental substances such as pollutants, chemicals, dust and dust mites; foods such as fruit, dairy, and nuts; and pets including cats and dogs, among others. More recently, the system has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of symptoms related to hot flashes, colitis, low energy and fatigue, migraines, shingles, celiac disease, eczema, autism and asthma. "An allergy is simply an inappropriate response developed by your body as a result of a genetic predisposition or a learned negative interaction with a specific substance," said Dr. Guy Annunziata, Chief Clinical Officer at BioVeda Technologies. "This programmed response triggers a reaction within your body. Common reactions may include the release of histamine leading to sneezing, runny nose, itching, watery eyes, headaches and difficulty breathing. However, other symptomatic diagnoses such as IBS, acid reflux, fibromyalgia and autism have also been very closely linked to underlying reactions to various substances. Once the physiological stress related to a particular substance is identified, our system works to eliminate the stress response or stop the cascade of events that lead to symptoms by training the nervous system to maintain stasis during real world exposure. Dr. Annunziata, along with the other medical practitioners at BioVeda Technologies, works closely with the wellness centers to ensure the highest level of standardization, clinical results and success rates. Patients receive a customized treatment plan which best fit their individual symptoms and conditions; however, many patients notice significant results after receiving just a single NSRT therapeutic session. The cost for therapy is very affordable and results are long-lasting. BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers are located throughout the U.S. There is expected to be over 100 centers by the Spring of 2010.
