Health Care Hijacked

Why Cindy is writing this book

Cindy's journey began in 1977 when she was a healthy, active 25 year old who had just returned to graduate school for a master's degree in social work when she developed back pain that became increasingly severe and forced her to drop out of graduate school.  The HMO which insured her refused to pay for anything but dangerous drugs that didn't help her pain.  After 3 years of disabling back pain, Cindy finally found an alternative treatment, biofeedback, that in three sessions taught her what she needed to get and stay well.  Now Cindy is a licensed clinical social worker and certified biofeedback practitioner working with people with chronic and life threatening illness.  She is frustrated to find that things continue to get worse, not better, with increasingly dangerous drugs and invasive procedures being offered to patients instead of safe, effective, less expensive alternatives.  The health care industry currently not only threatens our health, but also our economy, as health care continues to gobble up more and more of our income as health care industry profits soar.  This book is Cindy's effort to be part of the solution to our health care crisis.
