Advocating for Medical Freedom

Chronic and terminal illnesses present significant challenges for individuals and their families, particularly when they are limited to conventional medical care. During such difficult times, it becomes crucial to empower patients as well as their healthcare providers by enhancing the availability of evidence-based treatment options. Granting them the medical or healthcare freedom to pursue the care they desire is a critical aspect of patient care.

What is Medical Freedom or Healthcare Freedom?

Healthcare or Medical freedom empowers patients to play an active role in their healing journey, by allowing them to explore alternative medical treatments that align with their values and goals. Similarly, granting medical freedom to physicians enables them to advocate for their patients' best interests and tailor treatment plans to meet individual needs, free from insurance payer limitations.

Impediments to Medical Freedom

Unfortunately, outdated systems and external influences often obstruct access to alternative and integrative treatments, thereby impeding the potential for improving outcomes and quality of life. The lack of importance to medical freedom for patients and clinicians in America is a public health concern, and our aim is to highlight the barriers that impede access to alternative and integrative care, while emphasizing the need for change. With over two decades of experience, Envita Medical Centers has been at the forefront of this advocacy campaign, to ensure that our patients have access to cutting-edge healthcare technologies and interventions for combating their illnesses and extending their lives.

Addressing Influencing Factors for True Healthcare Freedom

The current healthcare system encounters numerous challenges in granting healthcare or medical freedom to patients as well as medical professionals. One significant hurdle is the existence of outdated regulations and mandates that impede access to alternative treatments. Additionally, the lengthy process of adopting new technologies, which often takes over a decade, can result in catastrophic delays. This delay in timely administration of the required medical treatments could potentially worsen patient's health conditions or even cause premature death. These archaic systems tend to prioritize traditional approaches, limiting the ability of patients and physicians to explore promising therapies and healthcare services that could provide renewed hope.

Moreover, external influences, such as pharmaceutical companies or health insurance regulations, can exert an impact on the available treatment options for patients. These influences may hinder even a physician's decision-making process, resulting in limitations or barriers to the most suitable medical decision for each individual patient. The challenges in accessing certain treatments often coerce patients into standardized care pathways, without yielding lasting outcomes.

At Envita, we have come across patients who have suffered in their previous healthcare institutions, due to delays in adoption of newer technologies or obstructions in access to lifesaving medications. The need for aligning to the broader agenda and rigid infrastructural framework of the existing healthcare industrial complex leads to several such challenges, and it is unfortunate when patients must suffer. To address these limitations in medical freedom, we must recognize the importance of patient-specific care and individualized treatment approaches in conventional, integrative, and alternative medicines. By embracing a more progressive and flexible system, we can foster a culture that supports and encourages patients and physicians to explore a wider range of treatment options focused on improving outcomes.

Medical Freedom Empowers Patients to Aim Towards a Holistic Well-Being

Chronic and terminal illnesses not only impact an individual's physical health but also have far-reaching effects on their mental, emotional, and social well-being. In such circumstances, every person deserves the right to make informed decisions about their healthcare, including the ability to access integrative treatments or therapies. Embracing medical freedom enables patients to regain a sense of control, autonomy, and hope, fostering a positive mindset that can significantly contribute to their overall well-being.

In today's United States, the medical industrial complex, comprising hospitals and pharmaceutical companies, often seeks to exert control over healthcare and limits options. This was particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic when fear and misinformation were weaponized to manipulate public opinion.

Medical Freedom for Physicians to Optimize Patient Outcomes

Physicians, as dedicated healthcare professionals, share the patient's goal of enhancing their health and well-being. However, their capacity to deliver optimal care is often hindered by outdated regulations and external influences that seek to control healthcare expenditures.

There is a significant amount of waste due to operational inefficiencies and limited access to technology and options, and even case reviews point to the fact that wasteful expenditure in the United States ranges from $760 billion to $935 billion. Physicians deserve the freedom to break free from these complexities and explore innovative treatments and therapies in collaboration with their patients, for the patient's best interests. They should have the ability to tailor treatment plans to suit each patient's unique circumstances.

At Envita, we have granted this liberty to our physicians who are guided by our advanced precision algorithms, to choose the most suitable treatments for each individual patient. They are advocates for their patients' best interests, pursuing avenues that offer the potential for improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life. Our clinical experience of over two decades in precision integrative oncology shows that personalizing treatment plans for each individual patient gives them an optimal chance of responding to care.

Promoting Healthcare Freedom for a Progressive and Inclusive Healthcare System

In our effort to promote healthcare freedom, we try to incorporate evidence-based emerging therapies in our treatment plans, provide education and resources to healthcare providers, and advocate for insurance coverage of alternative treatments. Moreover, by encouraging a collaborative doctor-patient relationship in an open network where the patient can choose what is best for them, we can collectively work towards creating a more inclusive and patient-centric healthcare system. This is why Envita Medical Centers has launched Envita Health, which offers comprehensive opportunities for families and self-funded employer groups, with cost-efficient pricing. Envita Health's services cater to individuals, families, as well as employer groups, starting from 5 employees and above.

Patients with chronic and terminal illnesses deserve the freedom to pursue the care they desire, as much as their healthcare providers. Every medical professional in different areas of specialization, including preventive medicine, should have the freedom to personalize treatment plans for each individual patient, going beyond set mandates and the rigid infrastructure of the healthcare industrial complex.

It is the patients' right to fight for their lives and receive the healthcare options they deserve. By acknowledging and addressing the barriers that restrict medical freedom, we can create a more inclusive healthcare system that encourages innovation, collaboration, and compassion. Ultimately, this all-encompassing approach will improve outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals facing chronic and terminal illnesses, as well as those seeking longevity and advanced preventive care!
