One
in four patients in a hospital is harmed in some way from a medical
mistake
An
estimated 30 percent of all medical procedures, tests and medications
may be unnecessary – at a cost of at least $750 billion a year
For
the past two years, the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation,
one of the largest physician organizations in the US, has released
reports on the most overused tests and treatments that provide limited
or no benefit to the patient, or worse, causes more harm than good. The
list currently includes a total of 135 different tests, procedures and
treatments
Once
you’re hospitalized, you’re immediately at risk for medical errors,

particularly important for pediatric patients, and the elderly. Helpful
tips and questions to ask to help prevent avoidable medical errors are
discussed.

Do
Not Eat Eggs Unless You Watch This
by
Dr. Eric Berg
Eggs
can be the one of the healthiest things you can eat IF you get them from
the right place. Factory farmed eggs may claim to allow their chickens
to roam around outside, yet in reality they're stuck in the barn and
rarely go outside because there only a few small doors are available in
a massive large barn, not to mention the food stays inside, so there is
no reason to go outside.
When eggs claim to be "hormone-free", they are because
ALL eggs are hormone free - this is just a marketing gimmick. Since
1949, a law was passed to make all eggs hormone-free - it's
illegal to add hormones.
So how do you know that your eggs are really healthy? I would only
buy eggs from farmers, small farms like you would see at the farmers
market. Chemicals and medications are also being discovered in large
commercial farmed eggs like anti-histamines, Tylenol and even Prozac,
See Report
But if you can buy get your eggs from the farmers market, you'll be
okay and get a high quality nutrition product. I would also recommend
consuming the WHOLE egg, especially the yolk. The yolk is where most
of the nutrition is and if you are trying to keep your cholesterol in
a good range, realize that the antidote to cholesterol is lecithin,
which is present in the yolk, not the white.
I have been consuming eggs (4/day) for the past 20+ years. So don't
buy in to the marketing tactics of large factory farms!
