Adverse Drug Reactions in Seniors Leads to ER Admissions
submitted by: admin on 05/08/2015
Adverse drug reactions lead to 100,000 emergency room visits or admissions every year. Four medications that include Coumadin, insulin, antiplatelet agents, and oral hypoglycemic medications, account for more than 2/3 of all incidences. Patients need more education, supervision, and lifestyle management if we're going to lower this number. Natural alternatives...
Allowing the Devine Through with John Kiefer
submitted by: admin on 05/08/2015
Allowing the divine into our consciousness allows us to experience God in our everyday life. God is not an "elsewhere" God, he is an "everywhere" God. We are humans in search of the divine, which we can experience through our awareness in the moment when we focus. Nolthing exists outside of the divine in the universe; we need to remember that...

submitted by: admin on 11/24/2019
According to an article published in the April 2013 issue of the journal Internal Medicine, patients on SSRI antidepressants at the time of surgery have a 20% increased mortality, 9% increased risk for bleeding, and 22% increased risk for readmission within a month of discharge from the hospital! This was based on a review of 530,000 surgical patients from...
Assessing Hospital Quality of Care
submitted by: admin on 11/24/2019
Avoidable readmissions to hospitalization is only one way of measuring quality of hospital care. While they often relate to physician judgment or lack of it, there are many other factors such as patient education about medicines and why they are necessary, administration of medications, social factors for supportive care, and financial matters.
Better Pain Management Can Shorten Hospital Stays
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
An article in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons in September of 2013 documented that pain relief after surgery from a local anesthetic in the region of the surgical scar led to earlier discharges. Patients going home the soonest after surgery had the lowest re-admission rates.
While injecting a local anesthetic into the...
Breast Cancer Can Spontaneously Disappear
submitted by: admin on 09/19/2013
Most of us believe that cancer only on rare occasions will disappear on their own, but our first inclination is to get rid of it. However, there is interesting new evidence that refutes this and calls into question what we're doing to deal with breast cancers clinically.
Cutting Through the Confusion About Ebola
submitted by: admin on 10/24/2014
Why has Ebola attracted international attention that is freaking out millions of people around the world? Is there an actual pandemic? True enough that there have been more deaths this year than combined since 1976, and that has people worried. However, this is not a pandemic.
Why is the US and WHO so interested in Ebola in West and Central Africa....

False Positive CT Scans for Lung Cancer
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
CT scans pick up all kinds of lumps very well. The sensitivity is excellent but specificity is poor. This leads to unnecessary surgeries. Many small cancers may disappear on their own. Parallels to breast cancer are made.

submitted by: admin on 10/22/2018
A study from McMaster University published in the March issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Society B showed that fever-reducing drugs that include aspirin, Tylenol, and NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, could lead to thousands of more cases of influenza and more deaths because of it. They pointed out that ill people may give off more virus when fever is reduced....
Is Medical Tourism Realistic?
submitted by: admin on 07/29/2019
According to the CDC, medical tourism refers to people who travel to foreign countries to obtain medical care at a reduced price. Generally, the services most often sought are for cosmetic surgery, dentistry, cardiac surgery, and orthopedic surgery. The cost for these surgeries is in the range of 10-20% of what it would cost in the US and are done in 5 star facilities.

Just Do What is Right
submitted by: admin on 02/02/2021
America is split when it comes to taking the Covid 19 "vaccine". It is impossible to get both sides of this story because of Big Tech's anti-American censorship of the Internet and mainstream television. The promise of this experimental biological agent to stop the spread of the disease and prevent deaths from it is far from proven. We are involved...
Kids with Fewer Vaccines have Fewer Doctor and Emergency Room Visits
submitted by: admin on 11/08/2017
Pediatrics published an article looking at the "benefits" of having vaccines on schedule vs not in two groups of infants between the ages of 6 and 24 months. What they found and what they reported is very different. To their surprise, those children who did not have vaccines by deliberately avoiding some of them, had fewer visits to their...
Mammograms Remain Controversial
submitted by: admin on 06/18/2016
One third of cancers detected by mammography may not be life-threatening according to the November of 2012 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Over the past 3 decades, an estimated 1.3 million women have been over-diagnosed of breast cancer that has led to treatment for a cancer for which they did not need treatment.
Many of these cancers...
Memory and Stress Lead to Early Re-admissions to the Hospital
submitted by: admin on 02/19/2015
Hospital re-admission rates were studied by Henry Ford Hospital researchers on patients with congestive heart failure. What they found was a bit surprising because it wasn't the severity of their congestive heart failure that determined re-admissions. They reported that a history of psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety and other mood disorders...
One in Ten Stent Patients are Readmitted within Thirty Days
submitted by: admin on 02/18/2015
One in every 10 people who get a stent for a blocked coronary artery ends up in the hospital within 30 days according to a Duke Medical Center article in Archives of Internal Medicine in November of 2011. In this study of 13,000 patients over 10 years have complications such as bleeding or a heart attack. Of these patients, 8% died within a year and...
Shocking Effects of Taking an Occasional Sleeping Pill
submitted by: admin on 05/28/2014
Sleeping pills are not safe for anyone! Not for people with congestive heart failure (CHF), and not for healthy adults with insomnia. We are not talking about minor issues; we're talking about problems leading to hospital re-admissions, death, or an increased risk for developing cancer!
According to information presented in May of 2014 at the...
Spontaneous Cancer Remission
submitted by: admin on 06/25/2016
Many breast cancers resolve on their own. Autopsy studies show that about 30% of women in their 50s have occult breast cancers that apparently come and go. It makes one wonder if we are massively overdiagnosing cancers and overtreating them as well. The trick is to know which cancers are dangerous and in need of treatment. Studies on mammograms over time have...

submitted by: admin on 12/22/2024
Laughter is a great tool to disarm stress. There is an enormous opportunity for humor in most of what we do on a daily basis. Our mindset needs to evolve so we can give ourselves permission to play and have fun.

The big story is connecting with the right person. Personal dreams are the gateway to access to the collective mind of community. Each of us have a special mission in this lifetime; we can find this through dreaming. We need to discover our sacred contract with God. People need purpose, but we often stay asleep. We must learn to...
