Health Tip No. 15: What to do if Your Insurance Doesn t Cover the Treatment You Need

If you have tried conventional medicine and treatments for your chronic illness or symptoms, and it hasn t helped, and your insurance doesn t cover other healing methods, what can you do?

You can continue to go for free treatment paid for your insurance that has not worked for you, or you can pay out of your pocket for other healing treatments that have a better chance of effectively treating your condition. It is your decision whether you want to be well and whether you are willing to do what it takes to get there or not. The real cost of illness sis not usually the money; it is how you feel and the reduction in productivity and enjoyment of life.

Keep in mind that by using as much knowledge as you can gain about your condition, together with your no-cost or low-cost 3LS Wellness Program, you may not even need other healing methods.
