“You need to accept that this is going to be your life for the next 30 years until you die. There’s nothing we can do to restore your kidneys or to regenerate the tissue.”
This is what physicians told Dr Michael, who had to undergo dialysis three times a week, four hours a day due to Stage 5 Kidney Failure. Today, Dr Michael no longer needs dialysis, and his condition continues to improve.

New, Alternative Treatments For Relief From Back Pain | TODAY
The healthcare sector includes a broad range of products and services related to medical treatment, and has historically outperformed the market. Here we’ll look at the best healthcare ETFs.

// PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:
The healthcare sector broadly covers pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals, health insurers medical devices, surgery centers, and more. The sector has historically outperformed the broader market with lower volatility, and tends to be more resilient during market downturns, even though the performance of health care stocks is dependent upon a complex range of economic and demographic factors. Trends affecting the health care sector include an aging population, prevalence of chronic disease, technology and innovation, insurance coverage, personalized medicine, and more. Major players include Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Medtronic, Amgen, etc.
The financial success – and subsequent stock behavior – of many of these companies hinges heavily on clinical trial outcomes, patents, and FDA approvals. Like consumer staples, the health care sector is considered non-cyclical, and thus can be a smart defensive equities play. Here are the best healthcare ETFs to get exposure to these stocks.
XLV – Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund
VHT – Vanguard Health Care ETF
FHLC – Fidelity MSCI Health Care Index ETF
IXJ – iShares Global Healthcare ETF
RYH – Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Health Care ETF
Unlike the previous funds, the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Health Care ETF, as the name suggests, is equally-weighted, meaning each stock in the fund gets roughly equal representation. Equal weighting may be an attractive, desirable feature in this context, as it reduces single company risk in a sector of highly volatile stocks. It also spreads risk more evenly among different sub-industries like pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices, facilities, and more. Because of its equal weighting, RYH also heavily tilts mid-cap. This ETF seeks to track the S&P Equal Weight Health Care Index and has an expense ratio of 0.40%.

The sixth of the Dean’s Seminars on Chronic Disease, “Politics, Policies, Law and Chronic Disease: Opportunities for Contributions from Public Health,” featured two outstanding speakers: Derek Yach, MBChB, MPH, a leading analyst of international healthcare policy who has joined in defining grand challenges of chronic non-communicable diseases and avenues to reducing chronic disease prevalence through public and private sector efforts; and Michael S. Sparer, PhD, JD, chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management here at the Mailman School of Public Health and a trenchant commentator on Medicaid politics and policy, including reform efforts, intergovernmental partnerships, and the politics of incrementalism, among many others.
The seminar examined the natural history of good ideas in public health—the way that new formulations of opportunities in chronic disease prevention must traverse complex and vulnerable pathways from newly perceived opportunities to formulation and application of health policy; and through the political process and into law, often in significantly altered form. A key challenge for public health, particularly for academic public health, lies in informing the process and protecting the influence of facts, as well as dispassionate reasoning. Video Rating: / 5
