The “insurance doctors “ are what we have in my area, sad to say. I walked from work to the doctor’s office several times a number of years ago. I was about a mile away and had 15 minutes to get to my appointment on time. As soon as I got there, the nurse would take my blood pressure. Not giving me time to cool down and my heart rate get back to a normal rate. The “doctor “ tried to get me to take blood pressure medication. He insisted that I had high blood pressure and needed to take this medication. He wouldn’t listen to me about why my blood pressure was high at the time it was taken. The last time I went to him, I got someone to give me a ride. He said that the medication was working because my blood pressure was normal. I told him that I never filled the prescription. And that the only reason my blood pressure was normal was because I didn’t walk from work to the office. I got a ride so my heart rate was at a normal rate instead of a higher rate because of excise. Then I told him to get my records because I was no longer having him as my doctor. He wasn’t happy with me at all!! I think he needed the medication at that point. Since then I only go to a doctor when I feel like I need a doctor. To date I haven’t been sick in over 20 years, not even a cold/flu. I’m not taking ANY Medication of any kind. I’m 67 years old this month.
Same for me 89 years old and no meds only B-12 because I am a vegan. I’m excited to find this video hope I can connect and learn more. I love watching homesteading programs especially Carolyn and Josh.
I am 70, No meds. Beginning to have some issues; but no way I will go to a regular Am.Medical Doctor. I know my issues stem from diet & it is up to me to change my diet.
I am a Naturopath in the Texas panhandle with a passion to teach parents how to take care of their families naturally. So excited to see the medical trend changing this direction.
We need a million docs like this doc, this is a critical junction in the USA. Excellent content, we need a national network of docs like this. Help. I am in Ohio.
I too am in Ohio. And have found none here that I can afford. Forced to now pay for Medicare I go thru the hoops but ultimately have to treat myself with the help of a few drs who aren’t tied to insurance based medicine. It gets costly though and they still follow some of the office models that others do. I’ll do it as long as.I can. And get healthier in the process.
This is fantastic! When hospitals are refusing life saving organ transplants because the patient is not vaccinated, we need a new system where people are actually valued as image bearers of God. I’d love to hear Dr. Issa’s opinion on the COVID vaccine
We have a doctor in our town who walked away from insurance payments and started a practice about 10 years ago, he doesn't take insurance, it's a brilliant idea he only accepts so many patients so he can take time with each patient. He also makes deal with labs and pharmacies to get discounts on drugs and lab work... He has grown exponentially and has added two other doctors to his practice. My Daughter is a member of his practice, and she pays $50. a month that's it no other charges and she can go to her doctor any time it usually only takes a day or two to get into see her doctor. This Doctor is a second-generation Doctor in our community and has a huge following. He also managed to let more than three quarters of his staff go when he went this route because all they do is bill insurance... A lot of his patients still use insurance for emergencies. So, if anyone is in western Washington, I can direct you to a great group of doctors.
I love the chit chat because it beautiful seeing how Josh and you respect and honor each other, which is a testament of the teamwork that is needed to be successful and fill fulfilled in the way of life you have chosen
I am a 70 year young woman who is getting serious about my health. I take no prescription drugs and want to continue learning as much as possible. Thank you so much for this episode.
We had the world's greatest doctor pass away in my area not too long ago. He graduated from Harvard and practiced in a smaller building outside of their home here in TN. He and his wife barely charged enough to get by. I'm pretty sure he delivered half the babies born in Grundy County for 50 years. He didn't even charge for most prescriptions if he had them on hand. He stitched up and put back together too many to tally on one paper. Look up Dr. Harbolt (folks around here pronounce it Har-bow, all one syllable though) if you have some free time. People from 3 and 4 counties away would hear of him and come see him when they needed help. Raise your shot of kambucha, tea, whiskey, water, whatever you're drinking tonight to this man who raised up a tiny mountain town and kept it going for half a century.
I enjoyed this so much! I’ve always been pretty “off grid” because I never trusted doctors. Even as a child, I’d tell my mom what was wrong with me and what was needed. Read tons of herbalism books starting at age 12. I’ve successfully treated my husband and children without Dr. intervention with the exception of trauma/broken bones. Last year, I had a blood panel worked up by an “off grid” doctor just to see if I had any red flags. She told me she’s never seen better labs. My vitamin D level was 102. She told me to keep doing what I was doing.
Thank you! This is so needed! We are in need of real Health Care that helps the patient. Not treating symptoms with dangerous drugs that cause more harm, but solutions/healthy regimens to bring actual healing. Insurance and big pharma today perpetuating sickness. Yes, take our health off grid and discipline ourselves to eat/drink for the health of the body as directed by off grid doctors like Dr Issa! We need more people like you who really care about real health for people!
This literally just changed my life. Although my dad is a traditional doc, for the last 10 years, I've been pursuing a natural health lifestyle here on our homestead with nutrition and herbalism. But I still feel the need to have a medical practice behind me. Having suffered through patient shaming most of my life, I avoid the medical grid system like the plague. I just looked up DCP in my area and found a practice that is not only DCP, but includes holistic treatment options as well. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Yes I have insurance and a regular Primary Care doctor... but I see my Function Wellness Doctor who is AMAZING! I pay cash for my functional wellness doctor. Totally worth it. She fixed my "depression" which was actually a Vit D/Vit B/hormone deficiency! I am a Nurse and complained for years about the same symptoms and was just started on antidepressants which DIDNT work and actually made me worse with the side effects. All my "regular" labs were normal. My PCP never checked my vitamins or hormones which was actually what my problem was. A Functional Wellness off grid doctors give the information to the patient and puts the power back in the patients hands. It's an amazing thing!
My husband always tells his doctor to let his wife work on that first. The doctor usually gives me 3 months to reverse or lower what ever the issue was. I got him off of all meds using diet, herbs and exercise for several years. Every month we got a letter from the insurance with references for meds je didn't need.
My now ex husband refused to do anything for his health besides what the docs prescribed. Except that he took massive amounts of vitamins/supplements but he was still obese with diabetes, heart problems and an amputated leg because if it. The vitamins must help since he is now 82, but it drove me crazy for 20 years.
Well this was fantastic! My husband gets very irritated with me because I've basically given up on doctors except in an emergency situation (other than I have to do follow up visits once a year with a neurologist due to being on seizure medication) but I really started noticing a few years ago that doctors no longer seem to focus on ways to help their patients get better, they just find ways for their patients to get by. That is NOT what our bodies were created to do. And a related problem I've noticed with most people today is that they have no idea how to listen to their bodies and/or take care of even the most basic medical issues themselves.
I just retired after 38 years in the medical field as a revenue cycle report writer. Dr Issa's words rang so true for what I experienced in the rapid changes in the 'insurance model' of practicing medicine. EVERYTHING is driven by 'reimbursement'. 5-15 minute office visits and revenue-driven benchmarks with and without quality measures robs the patient and the physician of an important relationship based on CARE. Thank you so much for this segment!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah In a medical practice, revenue cycle reporting is the tracking of revenue (charges to patients or insurance companies for services, supplies, medications, durable medical equipment, lab and imaging studies, etc) through reimbursement (payments by patients or insurance companies for said services). It is all driven by level of service coding and proper documentation to maximize reimbursement. Many times this analysis model creates pressure on providers to see as many patients as possible to increase revenue/reimbursement. Then Administrative quotas restrict the provider from being able to spend sufficient time with each patient to provide quality care focusing on treating root causes of illness rather than a 5-10 minute visit and prescribing medication to treat symptoms. It has hurt our healthcare systems and the patients they serve.
@@shelleylee8774 ok it’s an analysis model for MDs that put profit above care So many MDs don’t even practice now, they open the office and hire PAs and NPs to work, charging the ins co for visits, etc but paying less to the worker. Like when they make u consult with the RN on phone before they’ll deign to speak to u-possibly. Smooth deal, AMA.
Off grid medicine sounds great, the system is so screwed up, I've been a nurse for 1 years and I can see how broke this system is I've been wishing their was something else I could do to change the system. Gonna definitely look into this. Thanks for posting.
This is great! My husband broke his back and ended up on 18 prescriptions! He had 2 heart attacks and the number was raised to 23 and we were told he'd never got off of them. After 25 years living this way, I got him off all but two of them! Were working on those through nutrition and other modalities. I have helped many people lower their drug dependence over the years or never start!!! I love hearing about the off grid doctors!
I have finally found a department that I can hangout with my patients for a little while, within reason (they want a max of 1hr per patient), and it brings me so much happiness and back to why I became an RN. It’s so upsetting that the healthcare system is indeed very “soul deadening” as it is very money focused herding patients in and out as quick as possible. I would absolutely love to start working off grid and have enjoyed starting to make tinctures and incorporating more medicinal plants into my garden. I would love to one day not be tied to my job and would love to just homestead. I wish I lived closer to y’all and the off grid Doc. Thanks so much for sharing all your knowledge with us ❤
If you do something about your own health care, do it! The typical model of "sick care". That is is exactly what I call it. Great doctors want you to be healthy not a life long dependant user if meds. Thank you for this interview.
This is amazing. I knew some medical professionals were going off grid, but it's exciting to have someone to contact now who has his practice in place!
Love this! Our doctor opened practice like this 6 years ago & it’s been excellent for our family. She takes functional approach & spends 30-60 min with each patient. The membership & ability to text your doctor is invaluable!
I love your videos so you can chat as long as you want. I always learn new things. Loved learning about this new/old medical model. Dr. Issa sounds like a great doctor!! I hope to find someone within my area.
I just retired from a 20 year careet as an Anesthesiologist to start practicing Longevity and Metabolic Medicine off-grid and off the Titanic of coroorate medical care.
For my children's ear infections I have sauteed garlic to address the bacteria and onion to address the pain. Once translucent I strain the oil, allowed to cool down so it is warm. Have my child lay on their side with infected ear up. Put in a few drops and let it sit 5 minutes. Usually there is some relief pretty quickly. Switching sides with a towel under their ear for drainage. This has worked wonderfully. As an adult self treats using same method. When he has kids I know he will do the same.
This is the first doctor I ever heard ask his patients what have they been eating. Diet and life style. If I ever needed a doctor he would be the one I would want.
I am so grateful for this post! This explains so much and we need more info on off grid everything! You are changing lives and I am grateful beyond words for your family and every thing I am learning from you and all the individuals you visit with!
Fascinating!! Did not know about taking health off grid. I really feel like this is what I have been looking for, it makes so much sense! Of course, take out most of that conflict of interest and more tailored to the individual instead of standardized labelling involved with insurance. Awesome conversation! Thanks for educating us and adding more tools to our toolbox.
Thank you so much for this video. I am sick of how the medical system just turns to pharmaceutical drugs. I am glad you Dr. Issa are trying to get to the root cause of your patients health.
🙌🏼 Way to go Dr. Issa!!! I only wish doctors followed more of your mindset. God bless you and doctors like you. I tried finding a Naturopathic doctor in my area but unfortunately the nearest is 3 1/2 hours away. 😕 I will definitely check into this. Thanks so much❣️
Our son just went to a dr our Oath Keeper group just started working with who has a monthly price, no insurance, and it was great. She was helpful and kind, he didn’t feel hurried like going to a normal dr. He was given a script for an ultrasound in case he needed it if the antibiotic didn’t work bc we live 45 minutes away from her office. We wish we had known about this 1 month earlier so we wouldn’t have had to get insurance through my husband’s work but we know where we are going after our year is up with the insurance plan.
Thank you for this conversation. I know both sides of Fed and State Insurance. I was an Eligibility Specialist for a State Insurance. From my health side, I can tell its a insurance flow /stream. If one thing shows up your put into current and hold on you get sucked in to diagnoses and treatments. Then I was looked at as not wanting to get well when I refused Rx. Then the letters, Emails and phone call start.
U can always just take the script home and never fill it Or don’t pick it up if they insist on faxing it in Or take the pills home n never take them All so I can continue to get what u do need from the dr YOU own you, THEY are consultants. Not “under their care” but giving their educated advice in ur final choice.
This was so great! He needs to come back and talk more about how he changed his health. I am pretty much in the same boat as he was. My Dr. is absolutely no help and spends most of his time with me talking about anything but my health.
I'm from Ireland , living in England. I love doing natural remedies. Course Im not against modern medicine. Just would rather try natural before I take antibiotics etc. Love learning more. Thank you ❤️
Dr Joel Furhman is glad to bring his patients to health. He was asked aren’t you afraid of losing patients? He said no because there are a lot of sick people. He writes lots of books too.
A nutritionist helped me a great deal once. She requested the result of the blood test and a 3 day report of everything I ate. Based on that and my symptoms, she suggested specific vitamins and herbs which did wonders!
Yes yes yes, Off grid Might mean bartering in the New yet not exactly newstertainment medical system I think of it as 'Grid inependance' and we really need to be moving into encouraging people to eean themselves off the big government grid and start becoming indicators in self sufficiency while still being connected to their communities/ neighbors
I love how much I’ve learned from your videos, as many of leave ‘Babylon’ for good it’s so helpful to just pop on here and learn, o spent the winter learning preservation of food for everything I’ll be growing this year on our mountain property not far from yours, I think a little warmer where we are but yes the weather was schizophrenic in the last few weeks, I’m also working on pre spring cleaning and organizing etc cleaned my freezers and almost done reorganizing my pantry room, Thank You both SO much for sharing your knowledge and experience!! It means a lot and makes a huge difference
It is a GOOD thing to help folks get off the medical grid. That is part of what I like to encourage on my channel, as well. We all need to learn to "let food be our medicine and medicine be our food". Herbs were given to us by God, Himself for food and medicine. To me, using herbs and food is part of GETTING OFF THE MEDICAL GRID.
I really enjoy your videos. This one was super interesting. Going "off grid" with medical is something I have been debating on for awhile and I'm glad to see that it isn't as far fetched as it sounds
A great tool that I use is a book called eat right 4 your blood type . I don't stick to it religiously or agree with everything in it, but it has been a great helpful tool for me as a mom of 12 who has a husband with extreme allergies.
This was an awesome episode, I totally related. I have been unhappy with my primary care physician because I feel like a number being run through the system. I will look for something like this in my area, NE Florida. Thanks so much.
I wonder if any of the off grid docs know any of the doctors fighting against the medical disinformation put out by the CDC, FDA NIH, etc... they should all get together and change this very broken system we have here in America! As a nurse of 50 years (retired now), this information is sooo refreshing! Can't wait to see how it develops!!👵😇
This was very good. I have been thinking about this for years but even through research I couldn't find a lot of information. I am now retired and on medicare but if I could find a doctor like Dr. Issa I would gladly pay to get that extra knowledge. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for this! My husband and I have been looking for a way to homestead full-time without medical insurance and I think y’all have given us the answer! We thought one of us would be stuck in a town job for the rest of our days because of our dependence on insurance… but this is so freeing!
This is VERY EXCITING! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now get out there and get in the driver's seat and smash that pedal to true health and happiness!
Ty homesteading family with off grid doc! Excellent! Everyone should listen to this podcast with the way the healthcare system is these days in the virus world. Ty much lord bless. We really need God these days. Lord help us please
Wow awesome thanks for sharing this wonderful I information am so on board my heart Doc I have is awesome he's all about less medicines...God bless you and your family
I've never had any sort of "health insurance" and at 49 years old next month, I'm extremely glad of that fact. Some people feel "exposed" without some sort of insurance, but I've always seen it for the racket it is. Cash pay, when needed and now...I don't even "have" a doctor. I've become my family's doctor. I suppose I could find a Dr. Issa. Surely there are some in Oklahoma!
Who knew that existed?!? I have not been at the doc for now 2 1/2 years. If something comes up, like today, I go to my natural healing resources in my area. Does the job every time. However, I’ve never heard about DCP (only know of the CCP 😉), looked it up and we actually have some in our area. Great! Thank you so much!!!!
Love this. As a nurse of 30+ years I love that he treats the patient not just the symptoms. It is nice that he spends the time with the person and not worry about the time or how many he has to see a day. This is the way it should be. 👍
Insurance companies are in bed with pharma companies and no one makes money if people are actually healthy so there is no goal to find root cause. I went thru this and it was all about putting me on scrips that were BAD for me and caused more symptoms and I was brushed off everytime I begged my Dr to runs tests and find out what was causing my health problems so we could fix it. I wish I could find and afford a Dr. like this. Can you recommend someone in Michigan?
Try searching for DPC or Direct Primary Care in your area and see what options are available. Then talk with people you trust to find out more about these doctors and their practice. Best wishes, Dr Issa Off Grid Doc
This is fantastic info! We’ve been homesteading for two years now & have broken away from traditional “health care”, but would love to find someone like this in our area. Any tips on searching for an off-grid doc? Nothing comes up with a typical search.
Our doctor practices this way. It’s wonderful! He says “Any doctor can find disease, a good doctor finds health.”
Amen!

I haven’t heard about this person before that you mentioned.. is his story here on yt?
We've been with Samaritan Ministries for years and it has been a huge blessing. I wish we had a DPC in our area.
I wish we had doctors in Australia like Dr Issa. I have no faith in our medical system and have not for years. Thankyou for your informative talks.
There are ..called Functional medicine practitioners..
I have finally found a department that I can hangout with my patients for a little while, within reason (they want a max of 1hr per patient), and it brings me so much happiness and back to why I became an RN. It’s so upsetting that the healthcare system is indeed very “soul deadening” as it is very money focused herding patients in and out as quick as possible. I would absolutely love to start working off grid and have enjoyed starting to make tinctures and incorporating more medicinal plants into my garden. I would love to one day not be tied to my job and would love to just homestead. I wish I lived closer to y’all and the off grid Doc. Thanks so much for sharing all your knowledge with us ❤
If you do something about your own health care, do it! The typical model of "sick care". That is is exactly what I call it. Great doctors want you to be healthy not a life long dependant user if meds. Thank you for this interview.
I had never even heard of such a thing. I am so happy I watched this and plan on looking for a DPC in my area.
Thank you for this conversation. Please post this to Rumble also.
I’m hooked. My mom sent this video to me and now I want more!! 😃. Love your channel!!!
This is amazing. I knew some medical professionals were going off grid, but it's exciting to have someone to contact now who has his practice in place!
I love this so much!! Going to share, share, share!!
Love this! Our doctor opened practice like this 6 years ago & it’s been excellent for our family. She takes functional approach & spends 30-60 min with each patient. The membership & ability to text your doctor is invaluable!
My goodness
What is the membership fee??
@@YeshuaKingMessiah $100/month for our family of 6. I think it’s $25/per month for individual. Very reasonable.
Wow that is so affordable! Can I ask what state you live in?
@@juliabrown5948 South Carolina. They’ve grown greatly & now have 6-8 month waiting list for membership.
YES YES YES YES YES!!!! Excellent! I’ve had this mindset for years. I am so glad to hear doctors moving this way.
I love your videos so you can chat as long as you want. I always learn new things. Loved learning about this new/old medical model. Dr. Issa sounds like a great doctor!! I hope to find someone within my area.
This is exactly what we’ve been looking for! God Bless you all!!! Thank you!!!
I just retired from a 20 year careet as an Anesthesiologist to start practicing Longevity and Metabolic Medicine off-grid and off the Titanic of coroorate medical care.
For my children's ear infections I have sauteed garlic to address the bacteria and onion to address the pain. Once translucent I strain the oil, allowed to cool down so it is warm. Have my child lay on their side with infected ear up. Put in a few drops and let it sit 5 minutes. Usually there is some relief pretty quickly. Switching sides with a towel under their ear for drainage. This has worked wonderfully. As an adult self treats using same method. When he has kids I know he will do the same.
I currently run a DPC clinic in Southeast Idaho and my patients love it! Amazing medical model.
Dan, please share your contact for anyone in that area looking for this service! 😁
This is the first doctor I ever heard ask his patients what have they been eating. Diet and life style. If I ever needed a doctor he would be the one I would want.
I am so grateful for this post! This explains so much and we need more info on off grid everything! You are changing lives and I am grateful beyond words for your family and every thing I am learning from you and all the individuals you visit with!
Fascinating!! Did not know about taking health off grid. I really feel like this is what I have been looking for, it makes so much sense! Of course, take out most of that conflict of interest and more tailored to the individual instead of standardized labelling involved with insurance. Awesome conversation! Thanks for educating us and adding more tools to our toolbox.
Thank you so much for this video. I am sick of how the medical system just turns to pharmaceutical drugs. I am glad you Dr. Issa are trying to get to the root cause of your patients health.
🙌🏼 Way to go Dr. Issa!!! I only wish doctors followed more of your mindset. God bless you and doctors like you. I tried finding a Naturopathic doctor in my area but unfortunately the nearest is 3 1/2 hours away. 😕 I will definitely check into this. Thanks so much❣️
Our son just went to a dr our Oath Keeper group just started working with who has a monthly price, no insurance, and it was great. She was helpful and kind, he didn’t feel hurried like going to a normal dr. He was given a script for an ultrasound in case he needed it if the antibiotic didn’t work bc we live 45 minutes away from her office. We wish we had known about this 1 month earlier so we wouldn’t have had to get insurance through my husband’s work but we know where we are going after our year is up with the insurance plan.
Very refreshing! Nice to see this model getting more mainstream
Thank you for this conversation. I know both sides of Fed and State Insurance. I was an Eligibility Specialist for a State Insurance. From my health side, I can tell its a insurance flow /stream. If one thing shows up your put into current and hold on you get sucked in to diagnoses and treatments. Then I was looked at as not wanting to get well when I refused Rx. Then the letters, Emails and phone call start.
U can always just take the script home and never fill it
Or don’t pick it up if they insist on faxing it in
Or take the pills home n never take them
All so I can continue to get what u do need from the dr
YOU own you, THEY are consultants. Not “under their care” but giving their educated advice in ur final choice.
This blows me away!!
Great news
Wow, I am a nurse and I wonder why I've never heard of this! I will definitely be looking for a doc in my area that pratices this way!!
Excellent as always! Sure like Dr Issa's way of thinking.
This was great. Thank you. More off-grid chit chats please.
-Mike
Fantastic video, really appreciate and enjoy the information you provide on your pantry chats!!!
This was so great! He needs to come back and talk more about how he changed his health. I am pretty much in the same boat as he was. My Dr. is absolutely no help and spends most of his time with me talking about anything but my health.
I'm from Ireland , living in England. I love doing natural remedies. Course Im not against modern medicine. Just would rather try natural before I take antibiotics etc. Love learning more. Thank you ❤️
i can sit here and listen to both of you all day. love you both 😊❤
Dr Joel Furhman is glad to bring his patients to health. He was asked aren’t you afraid of losing patients? He said no because there are a lot of sick people. He writes lots of books too.
A nutritionist helped me a great deal once. She requested the result of the blood test and a 3 day report of everything I ate. Based on that and my symptoms, she suggested specific vitamins and herbs which did wonders!
Yes yes yes,
Off grid Might mean bartering in the New yet not exactly newstertainment medical system
I think of it as 'Grid inependance' and we really need to be moving into encouraging people to eean themselves off the big government grid and start becoming indicators in self sufficiency while still being connected to their communities/ neighbors
I love how much I’ve learned from your videos, as many of leave ‘Babylon’ for good it’s so helpful to just pop on here and learn, o spent the winter learning preservation of food for everything I’ll be growing this year on our mountain property not far from yours, I think a little warmer where we are but yes the weather was schizophrenic in the last few weeks, I’m also working on pre spring cleaning and organizing etc cleaned my freezers and almost done reorganizing my pantry room, Thank You both SO much for sharing your knowledge and experience!! It means a lot and makes a huge difference
Love it. Great episode.
It is a GOOD thing to help folks get off the medical grid. That is part of what I like to encourage on my channel, as well. We all need to learn to "let food be our medicine and medicine be our food". Herbs were given to us by God, Himself for food and medicine. To me, using herbs and food is part of GETTING OFF THE MEDICAL GRID.
I really enjoy your videos. This one was super interesting. Going "off grid" with medical is something I have been debating on for awhile and I'm glad to see that it isn't as far fetched as it sounds
A great tool that I use is a book called eat right 4 your blood type .
I don't stick to it religiously or agree with everything in it, but it has been a great helpful tool for me as a mom of 12 who has a husband with extreme allergies.
Hello, I came across your page today and I'm so excited about getting more information before I purchase my property.
This is amazing- Thank you!!! 🤩💜🥳
This is amazing. Thank you so much for making this information attainable. I wish this knowledge was more acceptable and available on our area!!
This is wonderful!!
I recommend Dr. Sherry Rogers! She's an incredible Doctor!
They should change the name of the insurance from health insurance to sick insurance! Thanks guys, most interesting! 🤗
This was an awesome episode, I totally related. I have been unhappy with my primary care physician because I feel like a number being run through the system. I will look for something like this in my area, NE Florida. Thanks so much.
Look up Sarah from the Healthy Home economist. I believe she lives in that area and has a blog and could probably help you find resources
@@korieraley1256 THANKS
This was a great resource to start with!!!!! Thank you so much. I had no idea this was happening, and I am so glad that it is !!!
I wonder if any of the off grid docs know any of the doctors fighting against the medical disinformation put out by the CDC, FDA NIH, etc... they should all get together and change this very broken system we have here in America! As a nurse of 50 years (retired now), this information is sooo refreshing! Can't wait to see how it develops!!👵😇
I just love y’all!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this invaluable info 🫶🙌✌️
This was very good. I have been thinking about this for years but even through research I couldn't find a lot of information. I am now retired and on medicare but if I could find a doctor like Dr. Issa I would gladly pay to get that extra knowledge. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for this! My husband and I have been looking for a way to homestead full-time without medical insurance and I think y’all have given us the answer!
We thought one of us would be stuck in a town job for the rest of our days because of our dependence on insurance… but this is so freeing!
Amen !!!!! About time !!!!
GOD bless you all.
This is VERY EXCITING!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now get out there and get in the driver's seat and smash that pedal to true health and happiness!
Never thought about taking my health and body off grid. Great concept!
Ty homesteading family with off grid doc! Excellent! Everyone should listen to this podcast with the way the healthcare system is these days in the virus world. Ty much lord bless. We really need God these days. Lord help us please
Wow awesome thanks for sharing this wonderful I information am so on board my heart Doc I have is awesome he's all about less medicines...God bless you and your family
I loved this! Thank you for all your amazing information❣
Glad you enjoyed it!
My biggest obstacle WRT, attachment to the Medical grid, is a Seizure disorder. 600mg of Phenytoin per day and can't skip one dose!
There are medications which are critical. But check Phenytoin prices w/o insurance.
Ketogenic diets were originally used to help children with seizures.
Thank you, great information
Such a great video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this concept!!!!! This is the kind of doctor I want!!!I'm looking for one in Washington County,Maine.
Yes!
I'm already on this path and I've never felt better!
I've never had any sort of "health insurance" and at 49 years old next month, I'm extremely glad of that fact. Some people feel "exposed" without some sort of insurance, but I've always seen it for the racket it is. Cash pay, when needed and now...I don't even "have" a doctor. I've become my family's doctor. I suppose I could find a Dr. Issa. Surely there are some in Oklahoma!
Who knew that existed?!? I have not been at the doc for now 2 1/2 years. If something comes up, like today, I go to my natural healing resources in my area. Does the job every time. However, I’ve never heard about DCP (only know of the CCP 😉), looked it up and we actually have some in our area. Great! Thank you so much!!!!
This was the best interview!
This was just amazing! Thanks so much for all of your learning and sharing!
Love this. As a nurse of 30+ years I love that he treats the patient not just the symptoms. It is nice that he spends the time with the person and not worry about the time or how many he has to see a day. This is the way it should be. 👍
This was wonderful thank you! It helped me connect dots to my own situation!
I love the deer.we never get tired of encountering them.just sn added blessing.also the rabbits.
Insurance companies are in bed with pharma companies and no one makes money if people are actually healthy so there is no goal to find root cause. I went thru this and it was all about putting me on scrips that were BAD for me and caused more symptoms and I was brushed off everytime I begged my Dr to runs tests and find out what was causing my health problems so we could fix it. I wish I could find and afford a Dr. like this. Can you recommend someone in Michigan?
Try searching for DPC or Direct Primary Care in your area and see what options are available. Then talk with people you trust to find out more about these doctors and their practice. Best wishes, Dr Issa Off Grid Doc
Freeze dried anything is my favorite, especially fruit!!! Mangos are the best!!!
Wonderful poignant interview. Thank you
Great show!! Thx! Blessings, julie
This is fantastic info! We’ve been homesteading for two years now & have broken away from traditional “health care”, but would love to find someone like this in our area. Any tips on searching for an off-grid doc? Nothing comes up with a typical search.
I'm so glad you enjoyed our video! Look for 'direct primary care' or 'DPC' model of practice. Best wishes, Dr Issa Off Grid Doc
yes, keep talking, we learn from the details
