"Mayo clinic researchers studied the effect of vitamin C in terminal cancer patients, but unlike Pauling and Cameron, they gave about half of the patients a placebo. The Mayo clinic findings showed that vitamin C had no therapeutic effect.124 Pauling claimed that his trial differed from the Mayo clinic study because his patients had received much less chemotherapy. In theory, chemotherapy might inactivate vitamin C's anticancer effects. The Mayo clinic therefore conducted a second controlled study, this time in colon cancer patients who had not received chemotherapy." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V.

"Enhanced external counterpulsation is used clinically in the treatment of angina and congestive heart failure, and in his clinic Dr. Roberts sees many patients who have failed conventional treatments. EECP works by placing balloon-like devices around the legs and lower half of the patient's body. These balloons act in rhythm with the heartbeat to push blood from the lower extremities back to the heart, helping it fill with blood during its relaxation cycle. Dr. Roberts knew that what EECP was doing mechanically, D-ribose should do biochemically." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Why should ill people, he reasoned, who don't even feel like getting out of bed, have to drag themselves from office to office, clinic to clinic, in search of someone who could figure out what is going on in their bodies?

"However, once the Chinese realized his talents they thought he could serve them better as a clinic doctor in jail. He worked there, still a prisoner, until they gave him his own clinic of Tibetan medicine, which he ran for a few years near Lhasa. In 1981, he was given the choice to stay in Lhasa or return to his native village in western Tibet. He chose the latter. After a few months in his village, at the age of sixty-three, he escaped across the Himalayas into Dharmsala, India, to visit the Dalai Lama, who told him to go to Katmandu to practice." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"A disease-specific set of symptoms is sometimes called the clinical presentation of a disease—the way the illness appears when the patient comes to the clinic. Such clinical presentations are usually familiar, and only rarely are competent doctors unsure what disease they are facing. When it comes to the cellular and subcellular events that give rise to a particular disease, however, the relevant facts have often been more obscure. The symptoms are obvious, but the cause is often unknown. For this reason, much of modern medicine has been devoted simply to the treatment of symptoms." - Hari Sharma, Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals, a Major Cause of Aging and Disease (Get the book.)

"For seven years, my clinic has used a validated tool to assess the visit-to-visit progress of my patients on the Vitamin D Cure program. The tool—the Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (MHAQ)—is a series of questions and scales that people complete while in the waiting room each time they come in for an office visit. clinic staffers score these patients and enter the information into a flow sheet in their charts. This tool assigns an objective or measurable number to a patient's symptoms so we can make comparisons and note progress from one month to the next." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Until a nearby town got its first biomedical clinic in the mid-1970s, healing in my village came in two forms: hit-or-miss self-medication with whatever western drugs (often out-of-date, or worse) turned up in the market, or traditional medicine. Even when the clinic opened, its use by villagers depended on the availability of my parents' tiny VW Bug (the only car in the village at that time) and someone to drive it." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Returning to the clinic, she sees a new clinician who, on top of running the same blood tests as before, decides to include an allergy panel for IgA-reactive foods. This test comes back showing that Donna demonstrates, according to the results, a number of significant allergies and she must immediately eliminate all of the offending foods from her diet. In fact, a raw food diet with lots of fresh vegetable juices is just the thing for her. (This clinician couldn't sleep last night, and happened to watch a high-energy infomercial on the benefits of juicing.

"This will not be an issue if you go to the same doctor or clinic, but if you move, change doctors, or go to a different clinic, you should ask for the name of the test-reacting laboratory to ensure it is the same one that read your previous tests. Although the Hb A test typically provides useful information, it may not always be accurate if you have had a change in diet or treatment within the preceding six weeks or if you are pregnant, because glucose and insulin levels shift: frequently during those times." - Steven V.

"Typically such visits are five times more costly than comparable visits to a clinic or a physician's office. But are they inappropriate? The physician's office or the clinic may be closed, or they may choose not to treat the perspective patient. Indeed, from the prospective of an individual with limited resources, the emergency department may be the only option. A nonurgent visit may be far more appropriate (and prudent) than seeking no care at all. Moreover, ER cost might be deceptive. In fact, in 1996 emergency department expenditures accounted for only 1." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Ulrich Abel from the Tumor clinic of the University of Heidelberg, conducted the most comprehensive investigation of every major clinical study on chemotherapy drugs ever done.

It took Abel several years to collect and evaluate the data." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"It was the end of an exhausting but very satisfying day of doctoring indigenous people of all ages in a two-room school building temporarily transformed into a clinic for this small medical mission. We were putting the medical equipment and records away, and I was thinking about how nice a cool shower was going to feel, when our interpreter approached me with a look of concern and asked if I would make a house call to a woman who was too sick to come to our makeshift clinic. Several villagers led me across an open field and down a narrow dirt path to the sick woman's open cabin." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.)

"CLINICAL STUDIES In a study published in 1991, researchers from the Geriatric clinic Kantonsspital, at the University of Basel, Switzerland, reported that plasma antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E and carotene were measured in a group of 2,974 men participating in the third examination of the prospective Basel Study in 1971-1973. In 1985, the vital status and mortality of all participants were assessed.

"Nonurgent patients "probably could be treated in a doctors office or clinic." According to a 1990 study by the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO), fully 43% of all emergency visits were nonurgent.8 The most recent data, for 2001, was published in 2003, by the National Center for Health Statistics. It shows that 19% of all visits are "emergent" and 32% are "urgent." Next, most interestingly, a new category has been added: 16% are deemed "semi-urgent," defined as patients who should be seen within 1—2 hoursl Alas, according to this classification, only 9% of all visits are "non-urgent." - Gerald E.

"After the psychiatrist at the clinic made her sight-unseen decision to increase the dose of Zoloft, responsibility for prescribing Andy's medicine was picked up by the psychiatrist at the partial hospitalization program. He followed through on the recommended increase to Zoloft to 75 mg, citing "anxiety, agitation, and psychosomatic complaints," all of which are more likely to be caused by than to be cured by Zoloft. Risperdal: Another Potential Medication Catastrophe At the same time that the day-hospital psychiatrist doubled Andy's Zoloft, he added the antipsychotic drug Risperdal 0." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)
