What is the End Sickness Now program about?


The mission of Steve Carney is to End Sickness Now!

In the U.S. and other western countries, common sickness like fatigue, allergies and colds, and chronic health problems/sickness are widespread! And most of those problems are driven by lifestyle choices.

People get allergies, colds and flu more often than they need to! Other, more chronic problems can fester for years without symptoms, such as excess weight/obesity high blood pressure (BP), prediabetes and diabetes, high cholesterol and triglycerides, atherosclerosis, and more! And many of these health problems and sickness are driven by the wrong choices in nutrition and activity.

About 66% of Americans are overweight or obese and about half of those are obese. Diabetes and other health problems are growing rapidly. When left untreated, these sicknesses will shorten you life significantly and can kill you suddenly (a heart attack can kill you in less than a minute)!

Why coaching is the solution:

Health and life coaching are the missing links for true health and life success! Having a well-trained Health and Life coach is the solution because a coach works with you once per week over a period of several weeks. He or she will support and encourage your forward progress and success. Coaching is not therapy.

As a coach, I look forward with you, not backward! I will help you focus on the future. I will guide you in making the forward progress you desire and in a few weeks, you’ll be on your way, improving and resolving your health and life challenges! How about fewer colds and flu. Maybe improved allergies? Other chronic health problems improved or resolved!




My Bio/History:

I’m certified through the Venice Nutrition/Fitness Program (August 2011) and for Life/Professional Coaching, through Fowler Wainwright International (March 2012). I was also certified as a Registered Corporate Coach (RCC) about 10 years ago!

I developed a passion for overcoming life challenges. I had Polio at age 3, and I learned what it’s like to be hospitalized and go through shots, surgeries, pain, etc. It was a great lesson in what happens when you lose your health and have to start over! I had to learn how to walk again! My outer left thigh now runs across my stomach! But I’ve overcome all those challenges, including getting rid of a limp I had until I was 35!

To maintain my ability to help you, I have dual certifications as a Certified Professional/Life Coach (CPC) and Certified Nutrition/Fitness/health Coach. My passion for health research goes back 20 years and I read health articles/research daily. I have  reviewed or read thousands of articles, books and clinical studies about health, disease, supplements and drugs. I also follow articles about jobs, careers and relationships.

I’ve overcome other life challenges, such as dyslexia, being chronically late, extra weight, allergies, blood sugar problems, knee problems/pain, a thyroid issue (I needed more iodine like the many people who have deficiency these days), etc.

I was also in a car accident a few years ago and had to heal neck and back problems/injuries (they wanted to fuse my neck vertebrae, but I said no. I’ve healed all of these health and life problems, using a natural approach with no drugs or surgeries. And I’m in better shape than I was 20 years ago!

Here is a recent video from CNN by the creator of the nutrition program I took (and simplified) in 2011: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/health/2012/01/06/gupta-new-year-new-you.cnn

A few of my health stats: BMI is under 21 (top 10% for my age), body fat around 15% (fitness level), waist 32″ or less. BP runs 115/70, with cholesterol, TSH and PSA all in good range. Fasting glucose runs in the 80s, and my hsCRP was less than .5, which is very low levels of inflammation (most adults over 50 are 1-3 or higher). I can do 70 push-ups, then 20 more after 60-second break, and 30 more after that! People say I look 15 years younger than my age. The bottom line is that this program works and it’s easier than you think!

Health Insurance Made Easy With These Easy Tips

There are a lot of different kinds of health insurance and it is different in many different ways. Learn and write down as much as you can to help you decide what's best for you. Do some research before making any choices. The tips below can help you find the correct heath insurance.

You should refrain from utilizing your credit card to cover your health insurance costs. There are quite a few insurance companies who will charge extra if you pay with your credit card. You may also be subjected to other fees as well.

When you are thinking about getting an individual health insurance policy, take time to work out all applicable costs. Do your calculations on how much you can pay for premiums, deductibles, and co-pays before you choose which insurance policy to buy.

If you are seeking health insurance coverage for all of your family, it makes sense to inquire about any applicable discounts. Premiums can be substantially lower when the policy is purchased for the family together, rather than each individual separately. Be sure to ask around before committing to any one insurance plan.

It can be difficult to get health insurance coverage if you are afflicted with a pre-existing condition. Vegetarian diets can reduce your risk of some of these conditions. Research has consistently shown that many years of improper diet accumulates into chronic conditions. These diseases are very expensive to treat. A vegetarian diet can reduce your chances of getting many chronic diseases. Insurance companies are increasingly aware of this fact. Not only can this diet save your life, but it can reduce health care costs.

There's many options you can choose when selecting health insurance. You need to do research if you want to find the prefect insurance company with the perfect policy that fits all of your needs. Remember the tips laid out here, to help you select the health insurance plan that works best for you.


What if I cannot get a hold of an operator when scheduling for Lab, MRI or CT scan?

I've had a couple of people that I know ask about the MRI and CAT scan discount program.  It should be easy to set up an appointment.

1.  Please have a pre-written doctors order for your MRI or CT scan at hand before calling the operator.

2.  Also have ready your FreeRxPlus discount card so that information can be given to the operator.

When you are ready then call 1-800-808-1213 found on the back of the FreeRxPlus card and an operator will be ready to set up your appointment for a Lab test, MRI or CT scan with discount already applied. The location of an imaging center is confidential and will only be given to the patient at time of scheduling the appointment.

Now what if you cannot get a hold of an operator when making that call?  There is an online option also that will put you on a call back list and may very well help speed up service.  This form will allow you to locate an imaging center, specify your doctors orders and schedule the exam.  Please click on the link below to request an appointment for a lab or imaging exam.

What is Alcotox?


Alcotox, created by inventor Amjid Yaseen from the U.K., is a patent pending dietary supplement composed of a speci!c blend of amino acids and vitamins. It is designed to target, scavenge and neutralize acetaldehyde, the toxin that is produced by the liver when alcohol is consumed. Acetaldehyde is 30 times more toxic than alcohol itself and almost all alcohol related diseases from cirrhosis, cancer and even hangovers can be traced back to acetaldehyde.

Alcohol consumption is the world’s third largest risk factor for disease and disability and is the leading risk factor for death in males ages 15-59. It is a causal factor in 60 types of diseases and injuries and a component cause in 200 others. Alcohol kills 2.5 million people every year, which represents 4% of all deaths worldwide.

Click here to read the W.H.O. definitive study on alcohol and its impact on human health.

However it is not alcohol itself which is the main causal factor, but its first metabolite Acetaldehyde, which is the real culprit behind almost all alcohol related biochemical harm. Acetaldehyde is not generally well known outside of academic circles about its significance to human health.

Alcotox does not affect the pharmacology of alcohol, only its toxicity, so it is still possible to become intoxicated. Alcotox products include Alcotox, Alcotox Liver Care, Alcotox Dual, Alcotox Oriental and Alcotox Liquid.


Alcotox will soon fund its own oral cancer study early next year in 2013.  Also there are many doctors and pharmacists who are already established customers of Alcotox in the United Kingdom. It is composed of vitamins and amino acids having efficacy that surpasses most allopathic drugs. N-Acetyl Cysteine which is one of  the active ingredients is classified both as a drug and as a dietary supplement. It is used in hospitals for acetaminophen overdose. NAC is also in Alcotox as it along with a patented formulation binds to Acetaldehyde very efficiently. Furthermore, Alcotox contains all three glutathione precursors, l-Cysteine, Glutamate and Glycine to promote synthesis of intracellular glutathione during alcohol consumption.

Make Buying Health Insurance Easy With These Great Tips

There are a large number of health insurance companies to choose from, and each of them offers a wide variety of policies. Doing your research and keeping notes will help you in your search. Study first before you decide. The tips below can help you find the correct heath insurance. Medical insurance can cut down on your taxes. One commonly-overlooked tax benefit is that your premiums are actually tax deductible. The cost of covering your deductible, co-pays and prescriptions are also tax deductions. State taxes are different from federal taxes, so make sure you check guidelines. Bear in mind that the costs for individual policies are usually higher than those of group insurance offered by employers. You might have to choose an insurance with a bigger deductible, or one that has a less coverage, or both. Make sure you consider all your options before purchasing insurance. An insurance broker can help ameliorate your feelings of being overwhelmed on your quest for the right health insurance. A broker can assist you in finding the right health insurance plan for you at a price that you can afford. They are also going to be aware of the regulations that are in place in your state. Before you select a broker for insurance, compare prices. Find out if you are going to be able to use your health insurance when you go see your usual doctors. If your doctors are not a part of the covered network, you will end up spending a lot of money out of your pocket. Although it may seem that the options for health insurance are overwhelming, you can find the one right for you. If you want to make a wise decision, you must be willing to put time and effort into the process. These tips will help you decide if your health insurance is what you need.
