America has a highly developed health care system, which is available to all people.
Although it can be very complex and frustrating at time, it has come a long way from
the health care organizations of yesterday. Previously, most health care facilities ware
a place where the sick were housed and cared for until death. Physicians rarely
practiced in hospitals and only those who were fortunate could afford proper care at
home or in private clinics. Today the level of health care has excelled tremendously.
Presently the goal of the health care is to have a continuum of care for the patient; one
which is integrated at all levels. Many hospitals offer a referral service or discharge
plan to patients who are being discharged. Plans for the patient are discussed with a
discharge planner. The discharge planner is a person who is trained in assessing what
the patient’s requirements for health care will be after discharge from the hospital.
This enables the patients to continue their care at a level which is most appropriate for
them. items reviewed for discharge planning include but are not limited to therapies,
medication needs, living arrangements and identification of specific goals. A few of
the options that are available for persons being discharge from an acute care hospital
can include home health care, assisted living facilities, long term care of hospice.
According to Growing Old in American (1996), “Home health care is one of the
fastest growing segments of the health care industry.” Alternatives for home care can
meet both the medical and nonmedical needs of a patient. These services are provided
to patients and their families in their home or place of residence. Home care is a
method of delivering nursing care and other therapies as required by the patient’s
needs. Numerous alternatives are available for persons seeking health care at home.
With transportable technologies such as durable medical equipment, oxygen supply
and intravenous fluids, there are countless possibilities for treatment within the home
setting. As stated in the continuum of Long Term Care, “Home health programmers
range from formal organizations providing skilled nursing care to relatively informal
networks that arrange housekeeping for friends.” This has allowed for home care to
quickly become an essential component of the health care delivery system in the
United States.
In a home health care situation the primary caregiver is usually not the physician. The
physician is communicated with by phone and with documentation from the
caregivers. The primary caregivers are usually the nurses and other team members
who are involved directly with the patient’s care. But, the original order to begin home
care must be initiated by the physician if skilled care is to be obtained. According to
the 1995 Guide to Health Insurance for people with Medicare, “Medicare pays the full
cost of medically necessary home health visits by a Medicare approved home health
agency.” This coverage must meet specific criteria, but it can be a relief to family
members to know that their loved ones can be taken care of at home without worrying
about the expenses.

Fasting is said to bring a host of benefits, provided it’s done under medical
supervision. Doctors explain how to go about it. Food is to the body what fuel is to a
motor vehicle. It provides energy, helps repair and rejuvenation and confers many
other benefits. A lot of research has been done and is being done on fasting. When one
fasts, the digestive organs get rest and all body mechanisms are cleansed. While
fasting, the natural process of toxin excretion continues, while influx of new toxins is
reduced. The energy usually used for digestion is redirected to immune function and
cell growth. Fasting helps you heal with greater speed, cleanses your liver, kidneys
and colon, purifies your blood, helps you lose excess weight and water, flushes out
toxins, clears the eyes and tongue and cleanses the breath.
Another research says fasting, even occasionally, helps in de – toxification. Through
fasting we restrict digestive activity and so energy is utilised to clean different
systems. Fasting improves metabolism, improves concentration and mental clarity.
Fasting, if understood and done under supervision, has tremendous benefits and
impacts one at various planes; mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Specifically it
serves as an aid to effective de – toxification, helps in repair and rejuvenation, offers
rest to the gastro- intestinal system and promotes mobilization of excess fat
The crucial point to note is the difference between fasting and starvation. Research
suggests there are major health benefits to calorie restriction. Among other things it
slows down the aging process. According to the US National Academy of Sciences,
other benefits includes stress resistance, increased insulin sensitivity ad increased
lifespan.

Glucose is the body’s primary fuel source and is essential for the brain’s functioning.
When denied glucose for more than 4-8 hours, the body converts glycogen stored in
the liver into a usable form of fuel and supplements it with small amounts of protein.
This will last for up to 12 hours before the body turns to glycogen stored in muscles. If
glucose is still denied at this point, the body continues to use fat for as long as it is
available. If the fast is not broken, starvation occurs, as the body begins to use protein
for fuel. Death can occur if fasting is pursued to the point of complete starvation.
