 "IPg with inositol is likely to help alleviate the complications of diabetes mellitus as the intracellular levels of inositol and inositol phosphates are low in diabetes contributing to the complications. Anecdotal evidence regarding pancreatic cancer treatment includes a physician with pancreatic cancer who underwent surgery for the removal of the head of his pancreas and, at the same time, began taking IPg with inositol. He has had no reoccurrence for six months, which is a very promising result for this type of difficult-to-treat cancer.

 "Early intervention could go a long way toward helping patients to sidestep some of the serious risks that come with lupus, including the life-threatening complications of kidney failure and major organ damage.
Scofield, Harley, James, and their colleagues are currently working to elucidate more specific patterns to predict more definitively who will have lupus."- Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
 "At least 5% of the patients die from the procedure; even more die from complications such as stroke. But what the heck, it's a small risk and a small price to pay since there's no alternative. Right?
Well, not exactly. As it turns out, there is an alternative that's so effective that in countties such as New Zealand, it's against the law to perform a bypass unless this alternative has been tried first. This therapy is called chelation treatment, and it could save hundreds of thousands of lives a year. Unfortunately, it costs just a fraction of what a coronary bypass or angioplasty costs."- Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) |
 "But he adamantly refused, recalling the serious complications one of his brothers had experienced during a bypass operation. Unable to budge him, Jack says, "they suggested I consider seeing Dr. Esselstyn."
During counseling, Jack listened intently and fully understood what he had to do. He would have to follow the program at a distance. At the time, he was employed by General Tire in Akron. He told his local cardiologist, who was fully aware of the severity of disease shown by the Cleveland Clinic angiogram, how he planned to proceed."- Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "All told, since leaving the study, they had suffered: • Four cases of increased angina • Two episodes of ventricular tachycardia (a potentially lethal arrhythmia, or disruption of the heartbeat, which causes the heart to race) • Four bypass operations • One angioplasty • One case of congestive heart failure • One death from complications of arrhythmia What a contrast! As I have reported, the patients who stayed with the program collectively had sustained no fewer than forty-nine cardiac events in the years leading up to the study." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) |
| "I lay in a hospital bed in the same medical institution, Johns Hopkins, one ward over from where my father had died from autoimmune-related complications at almost the very same age I was now. With a young son and daughter at home yet to raise, the similarities terrified me.
Back home, physical therapy, meditation, and an autoimmune-preventive diet all helped to bring incremental gains in mobility." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
 "They are not without risk, and those "rare" complications can result in significant costs, both economic and in terms of human life.
3. Children, and all adults, who refuse to be vaccinated are being discriminated against. They are losing their rights: a. Rights and access to a public education. b. Rights to access to health care, as doctors discharge them as patients. c. Rights to food because often moms on Medicaid are refused food stamps.
These rights—including the right to refuse—must be ensured."- Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) |
| "How many patients never saw a billboard or a flyer and so never reported to the registry; how many were ill but had no idea as to what it was they were suffering from; how many had died from lupus complications before the Buffalo Lupus Project even began? And then there were no doubt others who had moved away and left no trace. The numbers were, in fact, likely to be higher than what the researchers could tabulate." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
| "Side effects and complications from vaccines are considered inconsequential because their numbers are supposedly "statistically insignificant." This conclusion comes from epidemiological research involving large numbers of participants and has nothing to do with the individual person. Population-based conclusions go against one of the most basic tenants of all of medicine: to treat each person as an individual and believe them when they tell you something went wrong after a vaccine.
A "one in a million" reaction may be rare, but if you are "the one," it is 100% to you." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Tragically, it took the FDA until 2006 to urge doctors to monitor for these complications, and until 2007 to order manufacturers of Ritalin and all other ADHD medications to include a "black box" warning label listing the risks. The move came after data revealed that fifty-one deaths in the United States between 1999 and 2003 may have been linked to use of Ritalin or Adderall. Howard Pleper says, "This is scary. As I lecture around the country, parents come up to me and say 'my child has been on Ritalin and here are some of the side effects." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) |
 "On the day of her arrival, he experiences a serious angina with complications, and after a long convalescence is disabled and pensioned. He then follows his wife back to her mother, and all live together now in the same place.39
All this implied an agenda for psychosomatics of organic disease considerably more ambitious than Freud would have countenanced, and Weizsacker knew it. In a 1927 essay, he told the famous story of how the French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot had privately admitted to a young Freud that, in cases of hysteria, there was "always" a sexual issue at stake."- Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "Vitamin B12, for example, is very effective against aging complications, so it's listed under Pure Cures, as is melatonin for jet lag. This doesn't mean that anything listed as a Pure Cure wouldn't or couldn't be made better by combining it with other nutrients, herbs, or treatments. It's placement under Pure Cures is simply a convenience, reflecting that this particular item has some effect by itself.
Plant Cures are simply cures that come from the plant kingdom—herbal supplements as opposed to vitamins and mineral supplements."- Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "Melatonin also seems to help reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy as well as some of the complications from it. One study divided thirty people who had advanced brain tumors into two groups and treated one with radiation therapy and the other with radiation therapy plus 20 mg of melatonin. After a year, only one of the sixteen (6 percent) in the radiation-only group was still alive compared to six of the fourteen (43 percent) in the radiation plus melatonin group. Reboot Your Brain Then there's melatonin's most famous use— helping to regulate sleep." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "If you catch BPH early, there's a much lower risk of such complications. And fortunately, there are some easy and natural ways to bring relief (more on that in a moment). Saw palmetto is the "go-to" herb when it comes to taming the urge to pee every few hours. A three-year study in Germany found that 160 mg of saw palmetto extract taken twice daily reduced nighttime urination in 73 percent of people and improved urinary flow rates significantly. Another multicenter study showed that a similar amount treated BPH as well as the drug Proscar, but without the side effects." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) |
 "At least one study has shown that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like these may lead to severe complications in people with diverticulosis.
The study at the University of Aberdeen compared the severity of diverticular disease among three groups: people with severe complications, people with no complications, and people without diverticular disease. Almost 50 percent of those with severe complications were taking NSAIDs, compared with an average of 19 percent among the other groups."- Frank K. Wood, Natural Cures and Gentle Medicines: That Work Better Than Dangerous Drugs or Risky Surgery (Get the book.) |
| "Sjogren's, or type 1 diabetes, almost all of which can lead to potentially fatal complications. Or, slice these statistics another way: while one in sixty-nine women below the age of fifty will be diagnosed with breast cancer, according to estimates, as many as one in nine women of childbearing years will be diagnosed with an autoimmune illness, which strike three times as many women as men—and most often strike patients in their prime." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
| "And they underscore a point I have repeatedly stressed: patients with stable coronary artery disease should be cautious about the "quick fix" approach of bypass surgery and stents, which pose significant risks of complications and mortality. They should be offered intensive lifestyle change for twelve weeks in a reasonable trial. If they devote themselves to the progam with unwavering commitment, many will avoid entirely the need for surgical intervention.
I still cherish the naive dream I had when I started this research." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) |
 "The major health consequences of diabetes include heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, pregnancy complications, lower-extremity amputations, and death.
What really gets me is the number of people projected to have diabetes in the future: One in three Americans born in the year 2000 will develop adult-onset diabetes. As the United States population gains weight, including record numbers of children, the tremendously increased incidence of this debilitating disease is causing many doctors and leaders to worry that the word disaster rather than just epidemic is looming ahead."- Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) |
 "These interventions include preventing heart disease (with statin drugs), mitigating the complications of diabetes (with drugs to control blood sugar, statins to protect the heart, and ACE inhibitors to protect the kidneys), treating strokes after they occur (with an expensive new treatment that actually helps fewer than one out of 25 stroke victims), and relieving the pain of osteoarthritis (with expensive new arthritis drugs). There are also medical treatments for obesity itself: surgery (now even in children) and new medications in the pipeline that are sure to be instant blockbusters."- John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) |
 "Thus although homeopathy was based on two fairly straightforward principles, its practice depended on an elaborate complex of factors:
We only require to know, on the one hand, the diseases of the human frame accurately in their essential characteristics and their accidental complications, and, on the other hand, the pure effect of drugs; that is, the essential characteristics of the specific artificial disease they usually excite, together with the accidental symptoms caused by difference of dose, etc."- Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.) |
 "Rachel then seizes complications of Cancer Management and starts to read it herself
I am left with a paperback by Dr. Jan de Vries, Cancer and Leukaemia.
In one of his chapters, Dr. de Vries quotes the Bible: "King Solomon also wrote: 'Being cheerful keeps you healthy. It is slow death to be gloomy all the time' (Proverbs 17:22)."
"Cannot leave the Bible alone," interrupts Rachel: she is
only pretending to read complications of Cancer Management in order to keep it from me for as long as she can.
She fetches the traditional King James translation of the Bible."- Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.) |
 "The researchers said they were trying to address a very important clinical question—that is, to capture the benefits of statin therapy without producing complications due to statin-induced CoQIO depletion.
Issues about Supplement Dosage and Form
Pure CoQIO—bioidentical to what your body produces—is manufactured through a fermentation process from yeast. The Kaneka Corporation of Japan is the world leader in this technology and also the largest supplier of CoQIO for supplement usage. Asahi and Mitsubishi are other major producers. These three Japanese suppliers provide the highest quality."- Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "Rates of complications from coronary artery bypass surgeries?such as heart attack, infection, stroke, and central nervous system dysfunction—are disturbing. People are naturally looking for less risky alternatives. However, bypass is a sound approach to improve quality of life and possibly advance longevity when other alternative or conventional medical therapies fail to correct persistent chest pain and shortness of breath caused by coronary artery blockage. The two sides of the coin—conventional therapy alone or alternative therapy alone—represent misguided medicine." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) |
 "Diarrhea can lead to serious complications, including dehydration and colitis. It is considered rare but, as seen in Quebec, a C. difficile infection can be fatal. The standard drugs to treat Clostridium difficile are metronidazole and vancomycin. Although these drugs are successful in 80% of cases, about 20% of patients suffer from recurrence.
How do you develop a C. difficile infection? C. difficile bacteria are found in human feces. You can become infected by touching surfaces that are contaminated with fecal traces and then touching your mouth or nose."- Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) |
 "In his remarkably candid book complications, Atul Gawande tells the story of botching an emergency tracheotomy, a surgical procedure that involves cutting a hole in a patient's neck just below the larynx in order to insert a breathing tube when the patient's trachea is obstructed. As a young surgical resident, Gawande was ill prepared in every possible way for the procedure. He had previously performed only one emergency "trach" (pronounced "trake") in his life—on a goat."- Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Is she showing signs of heart failure or other potentially fatal complications? Even when faced with a heart attack patient coming through the double doors of the emergency room, physicians must use their judgment—the art of medicine—to make what can be a life-and-death decision about whether the patient needs a stent to open an artery or whether drugs alone will do the trick. But that judgment, it turns out, can be influenced by more than just medical data. In an editorial published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Richard Lange and L." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Yet as Fisher's research suggests, involving another specialist leads to more procedures and tests—and the more procedures and tests, along with more days in the hospital, the greater the opportunity for complications and for latent errors to pile up into catastrophic adverse events. At first, the idea that more specialists can make for worse medical care seems thoroughly wrongheaded. After all, isn't the specialist the doctor with the most knowledge about a given condition and therefore the one person most able to help us get better? Well, yes and no." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "By admitting millions of patients who may not need to be in the hospital, or by putting them in more expensive beds than necessary, physicians are needlessly driving up the cost of health care (and more important, as we saw in chapter 2, needlessly exposing their patients to the dangers of being in the hospital, where errors, complications, and infection kill thousands of people each year)." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
| "Bacterial vaginosis has been associated with various gynecological and obstetric complications as discussed in Chapter 7.
Bacterial vaginosis is commonly treated with antibiotics. As such, it has an extremely high recurrence rate. This may be because antibiotics do not help the underlying problem of bacterial vaginosis—an imbalance of microbes in the vagina. Antibiotics do not just kill bad bacteria, including Gardnerella vaginalis, a common cause of bacterial vaginosis; they also kill all of the bacteria in the body, including procrobes to grab a parking spot." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) |
