=== A Note to Our Readers ===
This month Medicine for People presents the eleventh in a series of
articles entitled "Brain Health as We Age." We feel this issue is vital to
long-term happiness and quality of life.

We are temporarily changing our practice of emailing you the text of our
article and instead we have posted it on our website.  We did this because
we wanted to include some excellent visual aids that would be cumbersome to
send and download.

To read this month's article, Reason for Hope:  Nutrients to Preserve
Memory and Sharp Thinking, please follow this link:

Satisfaction Guaranteed Referral Policy

In this office, are careful about where we refer patients, because if they
are not happy with the specialist we send them to, that reflects poorly on
us. We'd like to make it easy for you to refer your friends and family to
us. To that end, if you refer a friend or family member to our office for a
first-time visit, we'll give them a "satisfaction-guaranteed visit." That
means if we do not meet or exceed their expectations we will refund their
office fee.

We make this offer only for people who are not yet patients here and only
for those referred by current patients.

For your information and for referral purposes, here is our general
philosophy in four parts:

1. We try hard to give you a plan that makes you, as much as possible,
independent of the healthcare system. For example, non-pharmaceutical
remedies don't require physician visits for monitoring and refills. With
pharmaceuticals, we make your prescriptions maximally refillable in order
to reduce the frequency of office visits.

2. We work to find a fundamental cause for illness, so that people can get
well if possible and get off the medical care merry-go-round.

3. We help you enhance the strengths and good health habits you already
have. Lifestyle changes that reduce blood pressure, blood sugar, and
cholesterol involve no further medical costs.

4. We do not bill your insurance for you, but we can give you the requisite
form including diagnosis, treatment, and fee, which you can send to your
insurance for a reimbursement.

Thank you for your interest in our newsletter and our patient-based medical
practice.
