The morning following his birth, Charlie was flown by elicopter to a specialized hospital where he underwent a full-day operation. A staff of doctors cut his pelvic bones, re-inserted his bladder and stitched up his abdominal wall. Charlie and his mom and dad lived at this distant hospital for forty days.This was to be just the beginning of eight nightmarish years of continual surgery to repair the extensive problems to his uro-genital track. Not to mention, the many side-effects from all the surgeries and drugs, including a life changing, life threatening toxic allergy to anything made of latex.His mom has lost count of the number of surgeries he has had. She thinks it’s between twenty and thirty. It is not uncommon for kids with this problem to have this many surgeries or more during their lifetime. And there will be many more.These procedures and treatments have totaled close to a million dollars, probably more. While Liz and her husband have some insurance, it certainly hasn’t covered all costs. It was also necessary for Liz to quit her lucrative job as a paralegal to take care of Charlie full time. “He would be in and out of the hospital every five weeks because so many things kept going wrong. His hip came out of its socket. He had epispadias repair. He had a double strangulated hernia. He, also, suffered for several years with such painful bladder spasms that he had to take heavy narcotics to keep the pain at bay. He is has been on ongoing antibiotics to deal with recurrence of bladder infections and will have to stay on them for the rest of his life.”*37/165/1*

1.     If the patient is not too weak, a short 3-day cleansing fast on raw fruit and vegetable juices can be undertaken. To stimulate the liver and its detoxifying activity, red beet juice, on fermented beet juice, should be taken during fasting 1/2 glass three times a day) plus daily coffee enemas: one cup of strongly brewed coffee in 1 pint of water, used as a retention enema. Lactic acid fermented beet juice will markedly increase the oxygenation of the body cells.
After a short fast, which can be repeated after 3 or 4 weeks, the Airola Diet of raw foods should be maintained. Seed and grains are particularly useful, especially in sprouted form. As the patient improves, some cooked cereals, such as millet, whole rice, buckwheat, barley and oats can be included.

5.    Tekarina is another non-toxic injectable material, derived from seaweed, and developed by G. Lo Monaco, of Mexico, which, according to reports, has shown a remarkably high rate of success. Tekarina acts as a powerful detoxifier and, thus, is useful in biological treatment of many other ailments.

You may be in the position of being able to pay to have your operation done privately. The Bookings Manager at a private hospital will be able to give you an idea of the cost involved. Some private hospitals run a service known as Fixed Price Care: a price can be quoted to you before you enter hospital which covers the cost of your operation and a variety of other hospitalization costs. You should always ask to have the quotation in writing before you enter hospital, with a written note of everything it covers. At some hospitals, the fixed price will include accommodation, nursing, meals, drugs, dressings, operating theatre fees, X-rays etc.; at others only some of these are included. Once you have a quotation, you should not have to worry about any hidden costs that you had not accounted for. However, the price quoted to you by the hospital may not include the fees of the consultant surgeon or consultant anesthetist, and you may have to ask your consultant for a note of these.

With Fixed Price Care, all the hospitalization costs included by that particular hospital are covered should you need to stay longer than expected in hospital (usually up to a maximum of 28 days) as a direct result of complications arising from your original reason for admission. In other words, if you develop some problem while in hospital that is unrelated to the breast disorder which led to your need for your operation, the price you have been quoted will not cover treatment to deal with this. If, on the other hand, you should have a complication as a direct result of the breast disorder or of the operation to treat it, and your consultant decides to keep you in hospital for longer than originally planned, all the costs that arise from your stay and are included in the hospital’s fixed price (again, with the possible exception of consultants’ fees) will be covered. At some hospitals, the quoted price will also cover your treatment should you have to be re-admitted due to a complication related to your original operation and arising within a limited period of time after your original discharge.

The only extra charges that you will have to pay to the hospital will probably include those for telephone calls, any alcohol if you have this with your meals, food provided for .your visitors, personal laundry done by the hospital, hairdressing, and for any similar items such as you would have to pay for in a hotel. It is usually possible for a visitor to eat meals with you in your room, and for tea and snacks to be ordered for visitors during the day. (You will also have to pay these extra charges before you leave the hospital if you are being treated under private health insurance.)

It is important therefore that you ask in advance for written confirmation of the price you will have to pay for your stay in hospital and what is included in the quotation. If the hospital does not have a Fixed Price Care or similar system, make sure that all possible costs are listed.
