One question
that arises in our practice is why is his treatment is not accepted or covered
by the Canadian governments. The Canada Health Act is Canada’s federal health
insurance legislation, http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/medicare/chaover.htm

and it clearly sets out the primary objective
of Canadian health care policy:
“It is hereby
declared that the primary objective of Canadian health care policy is to
protect, promote and restore the physical and mental well-being of residents of
Canada and to facilitate reasonable access to health services without financial
or other barriers.” http://canlii.org/ca/sta/c-6/sec3.html

It further
states the purpose of the Act:
“The purpose
of this Act is to establish criteria and conditions in respect of insured
health services and extended health care services provided under provincial law
that must be met before a full cash contribution may be made. http://canlii.org/ca/sta/c-6/sec4.html

gives a clear definition of a health care practitioner:
“health care
practitioner” means a person lawfully entitled under the law of a province to
provide health services in the place in which the services are provided by that
person; http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/medicare.htm

Intent of the Canada
Health Act
The vision of
Tommy Douglas, the father of Medicare, was to have all necessary medical
treatments covered by the Canada Health Act, no matter who provided them.
However, in
1984 the Parliament of Canada unanimously passed the five principles of the
Canada Health Act. Those five principles
of the Act are:
1) Public
administration: the administration of the health care insurance plan of a
province or territory must be carried out on a non-profit basis by a public
authority;
2)
Comprehensiveness: all medically necessary services provided by hospitals and
doctors must be insured;
3)
Universality: all insured persons in the province or territory must be entitled
to public health insurance coverage on uniform terms and conditions;
4)
Portability: coverage for insured services must be maintained when an insured
person moves or travels within Canada or travels outside the country; and
5)
Accessibility: reasonable access by insured persons to medically necessary
hospital and physician services must be unimpeded by financial or other
barriers. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/medicare.htm

In 1984,
hospitals and doctors became the only ones authorized to provide medical
services under the Act. Prior to 1984
the spirit of the Act was to insure the access of the Canadian population to
health and quality of life.
What seems
clear is that the Canadian government’s main purpose is in fact, to
redistribute wealth. Spending money on
health care wins votes, but does not necessarily improve its
citizens’ quality of life. There is much
emphasis on the purpose and five principles of the Act verse the primary
objective of the Canada Health Act. Is
the primary objective actually being met or are governments just spending tax
dollars on health care to appease the Canadian voters?
Universal
Health Care in Canada is but a figment of the imagination of Canadians. As we do not even have a universal federal
income tax system. In some provinces you
are allowed to claim massage and other therapy as income tax deductions, while
in other provinces you are not.
Over the past 8 years
Gerald Zagrosh developer of Nerve Depressurization Therapy™, has sent many
letters to Hon Anne McLellan, MP and the Federal Minister none have been
intelligently answered.
He also sent letters to
then Alberta Health Minister, Hon. Gary Mar.
These were his comments on two different occasions when Mr. Zagrosh’s
submissions were tabled in the Alberta Legislature.
“As I advised previously,
my department has reviewed your submission on the treatment of pain and can be
of no further assistance in this matter.”
When Hon. Gary Mar was
asked for a copy of the review of the submissions, he sent the following
response:
“As I have indicated in my
previous letters, my department can be of no further assistance in this matter.
Based on the information you provided, my department advised me that further
follow-up and preparation of a written review of your submission are not
warranted.”
This is the second letter
was tabled in the Alberta Legislature by MLA Kevin Taft. It was tabled on November 24, 2003. Kevin Taft prefaced it with the following:
“It’s a letter 100%
guaranteeing his clinic’s services to the government of Alberta to eliminate
pain from hip, knee, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel suffers without
surgery.”
To
the People of Alberta
I, Gerald Zagrosh, President of 983354
Alberta Ltd. operating as Pain Elimination and Tissue Regeneration Clinic am
pleased to add to the guarantee tabled May 15,
2003.
The letter tabled was in regard to hip
and knee pain. The company 100% guaranteed our service to eliminate hip and
knee pain and if unsuccessful at eliminating the pain the company would give
back to the government 80% of funds received for that person if a surgery was
required.
We stand by that guarantee and have
another one to offer the people of Alberta. Those who suffer from Ulcerative
Colitis or Irritable Bowel Syndrome can get rid of their symptoms without
surgery, if not, the company would return 90% of
the funds received back to the government for
that person.
The reason for the guarantees is that
Pain Elimination and Tissue Regeneration Clinic has found the cause of pain and
the reason why the digestive system does not work properly.
The clinic's definition of pain is "Pain is caused
by electrical charge over stimulating the nerve endings. The greater the
stimulation, the more painful the sensation. There seems to be a range of
electrical pressure that causes pain, but once the pressure is greater than
that range, numbness occurs. Some of the laws of physics have been used to
medically explain what pain is." As with the digestive system, it has been
found that the ileocecal value either is stuck shut or a gapped open, which
does not allow the pressure to build in the small intestine to the correct pressure.
These guarantees will help thousands of Alberta suffering from these
condition resumes their lives without pain and save the government tens of millions of dollars.
The following page is the findings from an International Health
Symposium held in Calgary Alberta, from May 3- 5, 2005.
If you read, the key
points heard carefully, one would think that the government would be interested
in our finding.
