The
World Health Organization recently completed a study that ranked the
U.S.
# 29
among healthiest nations. This statistic is startling considering the
U.S. is equipped with the best doctors, the best hospitals, the best
universities, the most modern technology, and the list goes on.
Alternative Medicine Goes Mainstream
"...novel forms of therapy should not be rejected just because they are
novel, or because they run counter to some generally accepted belief (which
may just be a bias), or because we do not understand the mechanism of the
proposed treatment, or because it has come from an unconventional source. It
is essential, if progress is to be made... that the people involved ...
strive to open their minds to new ideas."
Hypothyroidism - Misdiagnosis -
Getting the Facts Straight
Thyroid function tests have always presented doctors with difficulties in
their interpretation. Laboratory testing is often misleading due to the
complexity and inherent shortcomings of the tests themselves. Many doctors
not having an adequate understanding of what the test results mean, will
often make incorrect assumptions based on them or interpret them too
strictly. A narrow interpretation of thyroid function testing leads to many
people not being treated for sub-clinical hypothyroidism.
Cancer
- Alternatives
Just say the "C" word and people get alarmed. It is an ugly disease process.
Chemotherapy usually doesn't cure cancer or extend life, and it really does
not improve the quality of the life either. Doctors frequently make this
claim though. There are thousands of studies that document this. If you're
looking for alternatives we have them.
Complications Due to NSAIDS
NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), which are so commonly
prescribed, can cause significant side-effects.
Asthma
If you suffer from this condition, you need to know these facts.
Cardiovascular Disease
The ten top killers of Americans (in the order of frequency) include heart
disease, cancer, stroke, accidents, pneumonia, diabetes, cirrhosis,
arteriosclerosis, suicides, and infant death.
The human and financial cost of cardiovascular disease in the U.S. is
astronomical. Coronary artery bypass surgery (bypassing the blocked heart
artery with grafted leg artery, average cost $44,000) is the most frequently
prescribed surgical procedure for heart disease, costing $10 billion per
year. Numerous leading medical doctors and authorities have stated that
coronary bypass surgery is overprescribed and often unnecessary. These
abstracts will give you facts regarding cardiovascular disease.
Diabetes
It used to be that diabetes Type II was considered a middle-age disease.
Researchers from both Canada and the United States report that Type II
diabetes is already a problem for some children—and a growing one. These
medical abstracts point out that the treatment of diabetes with the
traditional medical model isn't working.
Nosocomial Infection (Hospital-Acquired
Infection)
Are Your Shoes Killing Your Feet?
Comfortable shoes that don't look like they belong on the feet of retirees?
With help from an orthopedic surgeon turned shoe designer, we have the
lowdown on finding sleek shoes that feel good on the feet and are
ergonomically sound.
Mental Health - Society's Ruin
How do you stop violent crime? What about increasing rates of illiteracy,
drug and sexual abuse, homelessness and suicide? For governments, the
initial societal fix was to spend millions on “experts” who claimed to have
the answers to these problems. But when the problems worsened, the experts
said they needed billions, not millions. And when the problems continued to
worsen, the experts said they needed more billions. Take a look at WHY the
mental health system is in a mess and find the solutions.
