Meet Peter Scribner

By Shelly Wilson

Gabber Magazine 2005

There's so much talk and controversy over prescription drugs these days, you probably don't want to read any further.

However, reading this article might just give you a little more than you bargained for - like some answers.

Meet Peter F. Scribner, President of Gulfport Healthcare, Inc. With a name like that, you already know you won't be dealing with some huge company - and, in the world of prescription drugs, that's definitely a good thing.

Scribner, a stockbroker in his former life, moved to the area several years ago. When his wife became ill, her medication bills were near $25,000 a month. Scribner became very familiar with the outrageous costs of healthcare, and particularly medication.

"I thought to myself, 'What on earth do people without insurance do?'" explains Scribner. "I felt a definite need to help people in that situation."

It was out of that belief that Gulfport Healthcare was born.

Gulfport Healthcare is not an insurance company. Its focus is on prescription medication and other healthcare needs for those unwilling or unable to spend their life's savings to get them. The company is really about empowering people to find reasonable prices for the medication and supplies they need.

With the availability of 5,000 different prescription and generic drugs, and great savings on eye glasses, contacts, natural remedies and more, Gulfport Healthcare provides customers user-friendly access to virtually any healthcare supply or prescription they need. From name brand and generic medications,
Gulfport Healthcare provides all of your medications at an average savings of over 50% - no special cards or plans needed.


How does that work, you ask? Well, it's no trick.


Gulfport Healthcare's services are available entirely online at GulfportHealthcare.net, though Scribner is more than happy to help customers over the phone or make house calls. Working in a partnership with a well respected online Canadian pharmacy, Gulfport Healthcare can provide you with the exact same safe medications you get from your local pharmacy.

Because the Canadian Government has drug pricing polices different from those of the United States, Gulfport Healthcare is able to bring you those medications at significantly lower prices. Same drugs - lower prices. No strings, guaranteed.

Part 3 Eliminaring Stress-Managing Common Stressors

Most people have very similar lists. The number of issues that seriously affect the majority of people is actually quite small. Money, work, and relationship issues are the most common causes of stress. Any time you interact with other people, there is the potential for stress. And the lack of money is certainly extremely stressful.

These issues are all very common, but they cause some people more stress than others. Why? Well, some people seem to have better built-in coping mechanisms than others. Perhaps it’s just a natural, innate ability. Perhaps it was somehow taught to them or passed on to them by the people around them.

Part 2 Stess Reduction Basics


Reducing stress is a step-by-step process. It requires a thorough assessment and examination of your daily life in order to develop your own customized stress-reduction program. The process is not as time-consuming as you might think. It’s actually quite simple. First, you have to figure out which issues are causing you the most stress, including those hidden sources you might not necessarily think of. Next, you have to come up with a plan. Finally, you have to work toward implementing that plan.

Discovering Your Stressors

The first step in this process is to figure out what is causing you the most stress. Until you know which elements of your life are the most stressful, you won’t be able to do very much to eliminate your stress. Start by making a list of everything you feel is causing you significant stress. It doesn’t matter at this point how big or small these stressors are, just write down everything that comes to mind. Chances are, if they are stressful enough for you to think of them, they are causing problems for you.


Next, you need to prioritize each of these stressors. Make a numbered list that starts out with what you believe are your most serious stressors, and moving on down the list to those that you feel aren’t necessarily as serious. This will let you know where to focus most of your efforts.

Once you have this list, you can start putting together your customized plan for reducing stress.

Customizing Your Plan

You’ll want to take your list and start at the top, going through each of you major issues one by one. For each one, think of a way that you can reduce the stress that particular issue causes you.





Make a plan for changing every major source of stress in your life. Explain to your family that these changes are absolutely necessary for your mental well-being, and that you wouldn’t be making such changes if it wasn’t absolutely critical. Hopefully they will understand.




Remember, you probably won’t be able to eliminate these problems entirely. Your goal is not necessarily to eliminate the problems, just to reduce their impact on your life. If you can reduce the amount of stress each issue causes you by a small margin, it will go a long way to reducing your overall stress levels.

Implementing Your Plan

The hardest part of the process will probably be implementation. It’s easy enough to figure out which issues are causing you stress. It’s even fairly simple to think of ideas that might reduce the stress these issues cause you. But implementing the changes can be tough. For example, you may not have a lot of services you wish to part with. Perhaps you feel comforted by having the extra cable channels. If you use them regularly, just keep them and find another way to cut back. But if your family rarely uses these channels, you’re going to have to look at the situation realistically. If they are used rarely, they are an expense that is unnecessarily causing you excessive stress. It’s worth cutting out the extra expense to get rid of that source of stress, even if it means occasionally missing a movie or show you would have like to watch. Just rent it on DVD or ask a friend to record it for you. In the next chapter, we’re going to look at some specific ways to manage some of life’s most common stressors.

Did you know that stress is one of the most common causes of illness in today’s society? Stress is becoming an extremely serious problem for all of us. As the expectations that are made of each of us increase, we are under extreme pressure every day, both at work and at home.

It can also cause chiropractic problems that are caused by tension in the muscles of the neck and back.

Natural Cures for Menopause

Menopause is the term used to signify the end of menstruation in women. Menopause goes on to suggest a great deal more than this basic fact.
Menopause is when a woman stops ovulating and stops having periods.
One reason why menopause is the cause of anxiety and fear amongst women is during this time there are significant changes in hormones.
In most women, menopause occurs between ages forty seven and fifty three. This is generally considered to be the natural age for menopause although there are some exceptions.
