Our mission is to provide preventative care, empower human beings to demand the best of their bodies through a nutritional approach and preventative mindset. Create a Not for Profit organization committed to educating and providing lifestyle changes for all persons especially those 55 and older to insure that quality of life and longevity can be achieved through Integrative Medicine using nutrition, education, and the awareness of the right to choose their health options. We desire the privilege to help enhance everyone’s life through comprehensive, Educational and Diagnostic test, nutrition and the choice of lifestyle using supplements in lieu of pharmaceuticals. Teaching exercise through yoga, strength training, and low impact exercises must be incorporated in the overall education process for these persons. We believe adults should take personal responsibility for our health, and that the time has come when we must accept this responsibility and expect positive results from the participation in our own health care. Beneficiaries: Using a clinic as a prototype affords patients or clients an opportunity to become more healthy, more mentally alert through nutritional supplementations that meet the Gold Standard of quality allowing all patients the opportunity to promote their health, well being, and nourish their body through natural “God Given” herbs, vitamins, and minerals. These nutraceuticals support and promote and act as synergistic immune modulators. Nutraceuticals and Diagnostic labs are often too costly for retired or older persons on a fixed income. This clinic would provide their nutritional needs. Benefits of these type clinics assure the elderly a more “useful” and quality of life, living with the advantage of providing their bodies the physical, mental and spiritual necessities they would not be able to have in a traditional medical environment. This clinic model can be replicated all over the country and the world. Physicians wanting to promote wellness are afforded a clinical setting to learn how to be a facilitator and teacher helping those of no or little means to have the same quality and complimentary care those of means already enjoy. 47% of all
Clinics using this prototype could be accessible to all economies, not limited to just the 55+ age group. Requirements for this cause include the ability to provide educational material, diagnostic laboratory tests, quality nutraceuticals and the ability to get to the masses information that will not be influenced through mainstream medicine. The elderly desperately need an empathetic medical professional to take whatever time is needed to formulate a treatment plan that is comprehensive but as drug free as possible. By providing a clinical setting with all necessary equipment, credentialed and educated staff. This medical model assures every human being the opportunity to be more productive, creative and useful in later years. The level of function per person would increase. A decrease in heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and diabetes would be observed and a decline would be verified through 90-180 day nutritional testing. Early detection and treatment of chronic illnesses could turn a negative to a healthy positive giving the person a new lease on life, with a new perspective and motivation to tell their success story to others. In of itself this would be a profound education process from the masses to the masses. Personal responsibility, good nutrition, preventative wellness medicine and pro-active intervention reduces healthcare cost, positively impacts mankind and the economy (giving people back some of the dollars they are currently spending on costly medicines.) Statistics
USDA states, “92% of all Americans do not get the necessary nutrients from their diet. *The Dietary Supplemental Education Act of 1994, U.S. Public Law 103-417, Congress finds there is a link between the ingestion of certain nutrients or dietary supplements and prevention of chronic disease. “Every dollar spent on prevention saves you $9.00 to $14.00 in future medical cost.” Paul Zane Pilzer (The Wellness Revolution)
Business Model To impact as many lives as humanly possible, targeting the age group most desperately needing education and treatment for chronically ill patients who have only known a western allopathic medical model. The initial clinic would commence in the
Dr. Chad D. Howard, MD would head up the medical team that would set up protocols for prototype clinics to execute. A Nurse Practitioner, would work closely with Dr. Howard would oversee the clinical setting and training of the nurses, CMA’s and CNA’s. A credentialed Naturopathic Physician, NMD would head up the Natural medicine team. All staff, doctors, nurse practioners, NMD’s, CNA’s , CMA’s would initially be trained at the initial clinic and then have the potential to start and manage clinics in other areas.
Quality Assurance Verifying Program Working 1.) Nutritional testing, (functional intracellular) assay looks at the nutritional levels to assay the intracellular level. This lab gives the practitioner a comprehensive look at an individuals nutritional status over the last 145 days. Once they have the initial testing, addressing their nutritional deficiencies with nutraceuticals is the step in providing nutrition, in 90 days, testing is repeated, the laboratory finding will show what deficiencies have changed. The patient can sign a release to provide any scientific data requested for verification. 2.) Each patient will be given a quality service questionnaire asking them about their visit, confirming what nutraceuticals they were given and a self-addressed stamped envelope, which they must mail to an independent auditor for review and verification of their ongoing treatment protocol.

Funding Request
Initial funding of 50 million. The basic itemized list for the use of proceeds: 1.) Initial clinic objective – build and staff initial clinic. $10M 2.) Clinics will be operated in each state per OSHA guidelines. Outside
3.) Equipment purchase and installation – A significant portion of initial capital is required for the laboratory testing, patient diagnostics and formularies for nutraceutical products. Additional medical equipment and testing equipment is required. $10M 4.) Operating Capital – Initial start up charges for a clinic are costly. The first year a negative cash flow is expected considering the financial limitations of some of the target age group. Shortfalls exist because of the vendor and product variables. Large quantities may be purchased to achieve the most discounts and keep products and services reasonable. Operating on a net payment of 10 days requires the ability to pay vendors and receive additional discounts. Prompt payment provides better pricing on equipment and advertising, and gives an incentive to timely deliveries of such supplies and equipment. $15M 5.) Contingencies – $5M As with any new business venture, building a new building or remodeling an old building, the pricing is variable, time lags occur and unexpected/unavoidable delays occur. Interim plans must be in place to make up or substitute for these circumstances. |
