"The day the hospital attorney came to visit her at home, she baked him cookies—and then comforted him as he broke down and cried. He admitted that he'd almost prevented the ambulance ride that had saved her life because he had believed that hers was a hopeless case. We all learned a lot from Mary and her children. She lived an additional six years and finally died of natural causes at age eighty-five. And then there's Helen. . . . Helen presents a similar story of surviving against all odds." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Helsinki University Central hospital, Department of Psychiatry, Helsinki, Finland, katinka.tuisku@hus.fi. J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2003 Spring;15(2):194-9. Actometry enables quantitative and qualitative analysis of various hyperactivity disorders. Antisocial violent offenders have demonstrated diurnal increases in motor activity that may be related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that often precedes antisocial development. Motor restlessness in ADHD has common features with neuroleptic-induced akathisia." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "As soon as Maria came out of the hospital, she had several blood tests done, that showed she had antibodies against her thyroid and that her thyroid levels were fluctuating up and down. Also, she had probably had some sort ofliver virus that had precipitated this autoimmune reaction in her thyroid. Dr. Slagle prescribed amino acids, B vitamins and several other vitamins, as well as a homeopathic cortisone and baby aspirin to help shrink the swelling of her thyroid. On the second day of her taking the aspirin and the homeopathic cortisone, her behavior became completely normal." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Over a number of years, 22 percent of those that received only Ritalin ended up in a mental hospital or a jail. None of the others were institutionalized. There was, I should note, no difference in the two groups in terms of vandalism, marijuana use, alcohol use or petty crime. "There are many, many nutrients, minerals and vitamins that are useful in treatment. Recent scientific studies support use of omega-3 fatty acids, found in flaxseed oil. We know about zinc." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In another dramatic instance, at Methodist hospital in Houston, Dr. Bruce Moseley, a specialist in orthopedics, recruited 150 patients with severe osteoarthritis of the knee and divided them into three groups. Two-thirds were given either arthroscopic lavage (which washes out degenerative tissue and debris with the aid of a little viewing tube) or another form of debridement (which sucks such tissue out with a tiny vacuum cleaner). The third group were given a sham operation: the patients were surgically prepared, placed under anesthesia, and wheeled into the operating room." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "Gary Schwartz suggested that we attempt to lower the crime rate in Tucson or the mortality rate at a particular hospital. Marilyn Schlitz liked the idea of helping a child with attention deficit become more attentive as attention is a quality that can be easily measured. Dean Radin produced some wonderfully creative ideas that would have turned our website into a computer game: we could create a computer image of someone with Alzheimer's and ask the readers to help him back to his room, observing his progress in real time." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "Eugene d'Aquili, of the University of Pennsylvania, and Andrew New-berg, a medical doctor at the university hospital's nuclear medicine program, demonstrated this in a study of Tibetan monks. Moments of meditative experience showed up as more activity in the brain's frontal lobes with less activity in the parietal lobes.47 Meditation and other altered states can also affect the temporal lobes, which house the amygdala, a cluster of cells responsible for the sense of "I" and our emotional response to the world: whether we like or dislike what we perceive." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Scouring through the bowels of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe Frankfurt University hospital, Konrad and his colleagues happened upon a cardboard box full of dusty old papers and portfolios—patient records dating back to the mid-twentieth century. Konrad's colleague pulled out a handful of blue-colored cardboard files from the box. Noticing that one set was significantly older and more worn than the others, he scrutinized it more closely, and then spun to his colleagues and shouted, "This is Auguste D.!" - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "We now have rigorous labor standards for pregnant women, pills to treat impotence and ADHD, and circumcision is an unquestioned hospital procedure for 80 percent of American families.5 Those are the stories that shape our reality, some for better, some for worse. The "Alzheimerization" of dementia . . . has served to impede the process of cultural transformation.6 ?" - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Konrad Maurer and his colleagues in the basement of the Frankfurt hospital. emil kraepelin: an important craftsman of the ad myth These materials might have been insignificant historical detritus if it hadn't been for Emil Kraepelin, a leading international psychiatrist, and a man whom history might well remember as the real father of Alzheimer's disease. In 1902, Kraepelin offered Alzheimer a chance to join his research team in Heidelberg. Alzheimer already knew the background of the prolific Kraepelin, who was six years Alzheimer's senior and came from Neustrelitz in Mecklenburg." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"In a study at Monfalcone hospital in Groiza, Italy, sixty insulin-dependent diabetics took either 600 mg of silymarin or a placebo for twelve months. After the first month, in which fasting glucose levels were elevated, fasting glucose declined by 9.5 percent and average daily glucose dropped 14.9 percent among the treated group. In addition, glucosuria (sugar in the urine), glycosylated hemoglobin levels, and insulin requirements declined significantly." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Department of Agriculture, twenty-two postmenopausal women were admitted to a hospital metabolic ward, where they ate a diet of conventional food that contained either less than one half, or more than the recommended dietary allowance for magnesium (320 mg per day). Patients' heartbeats were continually monitored for twenty-one hours, and magnesium levels were analyzed in red blood cells, blood plasma, and urine. When the patients were on the low magnesium diet, red blood cell, blood plasma, and urine levels of magnesium were all lowered." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"The first is a piece of news about a lawsuit in Oklahoma in 1991 concerning the hospital use of a microwave oven to warm blood needed in a transfusion. The case involved a hip surgery patient, Norma Levitt, who died from a simple blood transfusion. It seems the nurse had warmed the blood in a microwave oven. The implication is that the microwaving of the blood to be transfused transformed the structure of the previously compatible blood, making it incompatible for transfusion." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"When we consider that the fourth leading cause of death in the United States is properly prescribed medications in a hospital setting, something's got to give! Even in 2005, coronary artery bypass surgeries (CABS) are still performed on the basis of clogged arteries alone with no regard to quality of life issues. This is not smart medicine. Rates of complications from CABS—such as heart attack, infection, stroke, and central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction—are disturbing. It's important to note that CNS dysfunction was observed in an alarming 61 percent of patients six months after CABS." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Admitted to the hospital himself during her illness, my grandfather once again felt that he was helpless to do anything for the woman whom he'd loved for more than 50 years. To me, the correlation between the circumstances of my grandmother's death and the sudden occurrence of my grandfather's condition was too great to be a coincidence. It was the trigger that brought all of the old memories of inadequacy from the Great Depression right into the present. Unfortunately, the mind/body connection hadn't been part of the training received by the medical staff caring for him at the time." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "In the make-believe lunchroom of a make-believe hospital somewhere in a big city on the East Coast of the United States, two doctors are discussing a successful and mysterious healing that has occurred in one of their patients. It's successful because the patient's anomalous tissue growths on her legs have suddenly disappeared. It's mysterious because, while she was told that she was being administered a new treatment that would cure her condition, in reality all she received was tap water mixed with a colored dye." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "According to Arthur Barsky, a psychiatrist at Boston's Brigham and Women's hospital, it's the patients' expectation—the belief that a treatment either won't work for them or will have harmful side effects—that plays what he calls "a significant role in the outcome of the treatment."12 Even when patients are given a treatment that's proven useful in the past, if they believe it's of little or no value for them, that impression can have a powerfully negative effect. I remember reading about an experiment reported a few years ago on people who were having respiratory problems." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"John Kurtzke of the Veterans Administration hospital in Washington, D.C., saw more cases of MS in places far removed from the equator, except for those places where people eat a great deal of cold-water fish, which is rich in vitamin D and omega-3 fats—Icelanders, for example. If you were born and lived (prior to adolescence) above 37 degrees north latitude, your risk of MS is two to four times higher than if you had spent your childhood below 37 degrees north latitude." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Fredriksberg hospital in Denmark, compared the experiences of eighty people with osteoarthritis and obesity by giving forty of them a low-calorie diet and weekly counseling and the other half a control diet and a weight-loss pamphlet. The WOMAC (Western Ontario McMaster Arthritis Index) score, which measures symptoms and function in osteoarthritis patients, improved 9 percent for every 1 percent reduction in body weight, and a 28 percent improvement in function for every increment of 10 percent weight loss." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Al Faraj at Riyadh Armed Forces hospital in Saudi Arabia discovered vitamin D deficiency in 83 percent of several hundred patients who had chronic back pain for more than six months without a diagnosis. When Dr. Faraj normalized the vitamin D of those with low vitamin D levels, the back pain resolved in all of them. Two-thirds of those with apparently normal vitamin D levels also eliminated back pain by taking D supplements. If you're gaining weight and noting a general decline in your overall health, these changes probably indicate a lack of vitamin D, too." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"My parents ran after me, brought me back home, and rushed me to the hospital. By the time we arrived, the burnt skin all up and down my right leg had peeled off. I had third-degree burns that were excruciatingly sensitive and painful. At the hospital, my leg was packed with ointment and wrapped. For three months, my mother wouldn't let me walk on my leg at all because she said that was an important part of my leg healing perfectly. She kept my leg wrapped and padded and she carried me everywhere. I knew the leg would heal perfectly because nobody told me it wouldn't." - Margaret Ruby, The DNA of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)

"His recipient is here in this hospital." At that moment, the door opened, and the young man and his mother walked hurriedly down the center aisle of the chapel. "Sorry we're late," said the young man, with a heavy Spanish accent. "We got here a half hour ago, but we couldn't find the chapel." Hmm . . . Could Glenda have really recognized David's heart information and energy as his heart entered the hospital in the body of the young man she was about to meet? According to the systemic memory process, this is both plausible and probable." - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

"I got into the "performance" mode, sucked up into making a lot of money and admitting more patients to the hospital than anybody else. I wanted to be the number one producer and the number one savior. I worked hard and accomplished my goals, and I felt I was the best. After four or five years in practice, I began to realize that I was falling into a frustrating pattern: treating the same people over and over without really getting them well. The same patients always came back. It was a revolving door." - 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.)

"It occurs more as a consequence of anti-arrhythmic drugs that cardiologists actually use to suppress arrhythmias, and is usually seen while patients are on cardiac monitors in a hospital setting. Cardiologists call this a "pro-arrhythmia effect" of anti-arrhythmia therapy. Angina Magnesium deficiency is also associated with an increased risk of angina. To clarify the relationship between intracellular magnesium concentration and frequency of anginal attacks, Japanese researchers studied twelve women with variant angina." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Symptoms of Pancreatitis • swollen and tender abdomen • pain worse after eating • pain in upper left abdomen • pain on lying down • pain in the left shoulder blade • nausea and vomiting • weight loss • foul smelling stools • fatty stools • high fever • rapid heartbeat • diabetes in chronic stages • back pain • dehydration DIETARY REGIMES FOR PANCREATITIS While in the hospital, some people are advised to fast while they are sick with pancreatitis. This gives the pancreas a break from producing digestive enzymes." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"USES Brain Cancer Brain tumor patients at the University hospital of Innsbruck, Austria, have documented benefits of taking Krallendorn/Saventaro in conjunction with their conventional cancer treatments. Patients were treated with Krallendorn/Saventaro drops in a concentration comparable to three capsules per day. All patients undergoing treatment with the test preparation reported feeling well, increased vitality, and less suffering from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "For example, Chinese researchers from Zhejiang Medical University and Zhejiang Cancer hospital, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, used maitake extract among 63 cancer patients as an adjuvant therapy with their chemotherapy and radiation treatments. The patients took the maitake extract before meals, four times per day. The results were highly gratifying with a 95.83 percent success rate against solid tumors and 90.91 percent among the leukemia patients. The total effectiveness rate for overall immune enhancement was rated by the researchers at 86.67 percent." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "In late November 2000, Kathleen was admitted to the hospital in severe pain. It was determined that her bowel was blocked by a tumor. The scan showed a large tumor in her lower bowel, but no sign of the two tumors that she had in 1999. For reasons unexplained, the blockage cleared in a few days and once again Kathleen returned home. "She continued to take the herbal tea and is sure that it helped to clear the blockage. We are also amazed that without medical intervention the two former tumors have simply gone away!" - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "My father-in-law had lost about 30 pounds and was not eating anything except one can of Ensure, and could not even get out of bed in the hospital. He is 78 years old, and they would not operate because of his age. They did give him some radiation, but said it would be terminal, and he probably only had about three months to live. The tumor covered three quarters of his left lung and the doctors felt the tumor had entered into the chest wall. That was two months ago. He has been taking two ounces of Flor-Essence in two ounces of water a day, at a cost of about 20 dollars per month." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"The privileged profiteering of the drug, medical device, medical equipment, and hospital industry would be sharply curtailed. However, the most serious threat posed to these industries under such a system would be the public realization that people covered by the universal health plan were receiving higher-quality care and better health outcomes than the people with regular insurance." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.)
