Promotion of Public Health: Medicare Benefits & Staying Healthy!



Promotion, one of the four P's of public health, is an important step to informing the public to living healthier lives. As apart of the new health care reform law, Medicare Part B and Part D is an expansion of the current program, and benefits many needing prescription drugs. Here at a local Walgreens, they have displayed important information regarding these benefits, including the ad that Medicare Part D members can save up to 75%! Public health is promoting the changes that many Medicare patients should be aware of, and people using Medicare are able to save more on prescription drugs at their local pharmacies. Inside the clinic they offer many helpful ways to stay healthy and informed. All of the brochures are free to the public, and informed pharmacists are available for additional information. There are also different brochures set out about HIV/AIDS and other transmitted diseases. The brochures go over about how to get tested and some therapy you can receive for having both condition and ways of preventing the spread of diseases. Also, public health is making it known to society that there are ways to save on prescription drugs for those who have a hard time affording them, and to be more aware of the STI’s affecting many people. There is also a promotion for a “walk with Walgreens.” Walgreens is spreading awareness for the products they are offering, as well as the help they are giving to the community.  Promotion and prevention are seen thoroughly in the displays to educate the public of all the ways to stay healthy and safe.

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
