Carte Blanche

Home > Our Menu > Carte Blanche

Carte Blanche, the third offering on our menu, is as much a response to a client’s perspective, attitude, and goals, as it is to their health or financial realities. Still in its formative stages, Carte Blanche is intended to be a self-created privilege. Its entitlement includes the highest level of access to the doctor’s attention at a fixed annual fee.

Carte Blanche is available through invitation only. Yet this program has nothing to do with elitism. It is a mutually beneficial partnership in discovery, trust, growth, commitment, and respect for a human being’s capacity to create and enjoy the highest level of health possible.

 

Dynamics of Health Care,
Dynamics of Innovation


An understanding of personal dynamics at Future Medicine Now is required to appreciate the objectives and benefits of this program. Dr. Swanback and I are engramated with the desire to understand the human journey in all its aspects and to assist others who request help in their own journey. By “engramated”, I mean we have a karmatic tendency (engram) which is so deeply engrained that it is an unavoidable manifestation of our experience in this life. If, for some reason, we were prevented from practicing medicine, we would still be driven by this influence, regardless of the profession we practiced.

Typically, in the practice of medicine, only the physical component of an individual is considered. We recognize, however, that “typical” medicine is not terribly satisfying to practice, because its outcomes are not particularly rewarding. Effective medicine runs far deeper than the physical level — for both the practitioner and the client. In reality, physical manifestations are merely the result of imbalance at subtler levels.

While it’s true that much in the attainment and maintenance of good health is simply an understanding of cause and effect, we believe it’s imperative to keep in mind where the deepest levels of cause originate.

So you may ask, is it necessary that a client embrace the belief system that Dr. Swanback and I share? No. It is necessary to us, as practitioners, that our words and actions, treatments and recommendations, reflect the highest level of understanding accessible to us. But a client’s willingness to participate in treatment and to follow guidelines of good health are all that are required.


Nonetheless, the question asked is an extremely important consideration, and the above answer is not the end of the story, because a funny thing happens within this dynamic. Let's take a look at the range of belief systems among human beings regarding our health. This is grossly simplified, but the continuum of attitudes exhibited by clients regarding their physical condition looks something like this:

From…

  • “This damned thing just hit me, doc, right out of the blue, and I’m fed up. Just get rid of it. Now!”

To…

  • “I realize that I am fully responsible for creating my current condition, and I’m sincerely interested in learning the lesson from this experience so I can avoid its recurrence and move on to the next experience. Can you help?”

Both of these individuals may be experiencing the same illness, injury, or situation. Their attitudes toward their malady, however, are light years apart.

There are infinite degrees of variation between the two extremes, but each of us falls somewhere on this continuum of realization. The interesting part is that the results of treatment, the length of treatment required, the quality of experience during the journey, and the likelihood of continued good health are very different at each degree, and they are a direct reflection of where we reside on the continuum.

 

Qualifications


So, once again, is it necessary that a client share our belief system to receive treatment at Future Medicine Now? No, it is not. But to be considered for the option of Carte Blanche, a client must clearly demonstrate…

  • A willingness to learn,
  • An acceptance of responsibility in their healing,
  • Understanding of cause and effect,
  • The ability to change behavior when evidence reveals misunderstanding,
  • A consistent commitment to achieving a high level of health,
  • Dietary and lifestyle choices in harmony with these goals,
  • And commitment to the realization that this is a lifelong endeavor.

None of us are at the same place on the continuum. But we need to be looking generally in the same direction to facilitate working at this level.

That, in a nutshell, is the dynamic required for participation in Carte Blanche.

 

Pre-Existing Conditions


Unlike conventional health care arrangements, an invitation to participate in Carte Blanche is not contingent on lack of “pre-existing conditions”. To the contrary, those individuals with difficult conditions sometimes exhibit a far higher degree of motivation, understanding, and willingness than those who think they are in good health.

To us, such individuals are a joy to work with — they are the reward to us for being consumed by this engram. Our interest — at all levels — is in improving a client’s health status and quality of life, regardless of the client’s level of health when he/she arrives at our door.
