Welcome to the Vida Linda Foundation
website.
In
the last few years a shift has been seen in the way the traditional
medical community views other modalities. The Duke School of Medicine
in Durham, NC has started a school for "Alternative Medicine".
In January 2000, Bowman Grey School of Medicine in Winston-Salem,
NC announced a grant to study "Alternative Medicine".
The number of patient visits to alternative practitioners has increased
significantly in the last 5 years. People are speaking with their
own pocket book since many of these visits are not covered by traditional
insurance. By paying themselves for this treatment, they are saying
that confidence in the traditional medical system is faltering.

Our
vision is to build a clinic that offers the very best of both
traditional and alternative medicine. The politically correct
term for this is "Integrative Medicine". This approach
includes the concept of considering the WHOLE PERSON, Body, Soul
and Spirit as well. It also, looks at the complex body as a whole
system and seeks treating root causes - not just symptomatic relief.
This clinic will be unlike anything we know of today! The goal
is to build it completely debt free - so that the fixed costs
will not have to be amortized in patient billings.
Our
organization is working to help the sick community without charging
the outrageous prices. We have provided a contributions page that
allows the those who are aware of the inadequacy of our present
paradigm to help bring the approach that we and others believe will
change medicine as we now know it - and thereby help many, many
people that are now suffering needlessly.
There
are many different groups of researchers small and large - working
very hard with limited resources on many diseases. Their work will
never be funded by the big Pharmaceutical companies
nor the
Research Hospitals that they pour money into
nor by the Government
Programs. Why? Because the modalities they are developing (and in
many cases that are already working very well) will not be "patientable"
and therefore will not - like the Pharmaceutical companies - enable
their traditional practive of charging exorbitant prices to provide
the huge returns on investments that this group is driven by.
Therefore,
there is also a place on the site where individuals can submit grant
request to receive money to help with their own research By providing
a vehicle for cooperative effort - massive amounts of data can be
processed, interpreted and refined to benefit all. The preponderance
of evidence can change the attitudes of those in control - save
millions of dollars of treatments with low percentages of success
- and save many lives in the process.
We
invite you to join with us in this journey. Our team is well on
the way to making this vision a reality. With your help we can reach
many hurting people.
