=== Prescriptions for the Future (02:11) ===

[00:00:00]  Is it possible, Dr. Caesar, for people to get, if they have a life-threatening need for medication, can they get a prescription, like when they come to you, for medicines for the next few months or for the future?
[00:00:19]  Well, most people, unfortunately, today rely on whatever their insurance plan will cover.
[00:00:27]  Yes.
[00:00:28]  Now, in the past, they used to always, if they're on a chronic medication, obviously if you needed an antibiotic for seven days, you go to the doctor, you get a prescription, you go fill it, and that would be it.
[00:00:42]  But then when you're on medicine that you take every day, we would write a 30-day prescription, and they just fill it month after month after month.
[00:00:54]  Then the insurance companies started wanting patients to send it to a central pharmacy, basically cutting out the local middleman pharmacists that knew you.
[00:01:07]  And they would request that we write for a 90-day prescription.
[00:01:14]  Well, that was just to save money.
[00:01:16]  They're filling the prescription one time for three months rather than going through the labor of filling it three times for three months.
[00:01:26]  But no insurance is going to cover a one-year prescription.
[00:01:35]  Yet there's nothing illegal or questionable about purchasing a one-month supply or a one-year supply.
[00:01:49]  Now, obviously, some drugs are what we call controlled drugs.
[00:01:53]  If you're on any controlled substance, you really need to look for alternative means for treating that.

=== Lavender's Calming Effect (00:43) ===

[00:02:01]  There are many remedies out there.
[00:02:05]  There are alternative, there are essential oils for calming effect.
[00:02:12]  Some people think they need a Valium or a Xanax to cut their anxiety, but lavender essential oil, just putting a couple of drops here or there and breathing that in has shown to have a calming effect.
[00:02:28]  When our Lord and Savior was born, the wise men brought him frankincense.
[00:02:34]  Yes.
[00:02:35]  And it is a very wonderful essential oil.
