What's Your Story?

Those of us who have been following The Smart Med Card since the beginning know that we are about preventative health and self-monitoring. The reason we push these practices onto you is because they are in fact a few of the biggest saving-graces of our healthcare system. These practices will reduce healthcare costs - they will allow the reallocation of resources and increase availability of financial help to those who can't get even the most basic care. These practices will also greatly reduce the costs onto you - no more duplicate and unnecessary tests (yes they are costly - no you do not want another one!). So, to further push our message to the public, I am going to show you a way to begin your Personal Health Record with The Smart Med Card while simultaneously beginning a Personal Health Record for each member of your family. So, readers - what better time then now to build your Family Tree? Welcome to A Family Tree for a Healthier Me!

Be Learned
One of the most rewarding and perhaps biggest mysteries to unravel is you. You may live a simple life now, but, could you imagine the life of your blood-line? Think of the major events in history the World over - could it have been your relatives at the forefront? Could it have been your family that helped shape the World we live in today? Certainly some of us will have to say yes to this - so see if it was you! It's like winning the lottery - only, instead of becoming Mr./Mrs. MoneyStacksAndStacks you rightly become rich in smugness and pride when you tell everyone your great, great grandaddy is the reason we do this, this and this! OK, let's get this part out there too - of course I have an ulterior motive to this project.

You see, when you research your family's past - you will, without a doubt uncover their health history. With each person you research, you will learn their lifestyle (even by looking only at the time-period they lived in) and you will learn their approximate time of death and the reason. These factors all have a hand in determining where you and your upcoming generations are heading. With each of these factors you uncover in research - there is a storage sector of The Smart Med Card just waiting to be written to with this new-found data! This information in a doctor's possession could very well be the dividing line between diagnosis and treatment or misdiagnosis and chronic complications.

Your Doc's Arsenal
Projects like the Family Tree are concepts that you should be familiar with already. Remember going to the doctor and being asked about your parents and their parents? It's for good reason. Who they were health wise - you are now a potent cock-tail of everything they were; with each member passing at least one overpowering factor that is nothing more than a time-bomb of 'something uh-oh this way comes'. By doing your own investigative work, uncovering patterns and learning about courses of action in prevention and treatment, you are doing, for the cost of time what modern medicine is doing for the costs of millions of $$. You are empowering yourself to live longer, happier lives without the intervention of modern medicine.

Motive: Moral
Finally, there is one more motive I have behind this project and that is: the stress of the day, hardships, jerky people and bossy bosses - they all contribute to our health (in a very, very adverse manner), but can be easily counteracted by a nice block of family time. Be with your spouse, kids, parents - whomever you may wish to see this project through with. Make this a team effort. Bring back laughter, memories and stories from your past as something to share and to cherish. Stop the consumption of precious time by material 'items' and enjoy the one thing in life we are guaranteed - a family.

It's never to late to practice preventative health measures. Visit The Smart Med Card and start your Personal Health Record today!
