"The report Was issued by the institute of medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, itself a government-sponsored organization. The institute of medicine suggested, for example, that the FDA review the safety of each drug every five years! This kind of recommendation underscores just how lax and even remiss the agency has been in regard to safety reviews." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"A report by the institute of medicine states that the United States still lags behind other countries in research into the processes and contaminants involved in autoimmunity. Many of the contaminants discussed early in this chapter have been so little tested that we have no real idea as to what role they may be playing in rising autoimmunity rates. PFOA, for example, has barely been studied at all. Despite the fact that it is found in 96 percent of people and the chemical has a half-life of 4." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"The requirements for vitamin D were last set in 1997 by the Food and Nutrition Board of the institute of medicine and may be inadequate (see sidebar). A popular approach of using cod liver oil to supplement vitamin D deserves awareness and a bit of caution." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"While studies have shown that people lucky enough to have medical coverage are being harmed by too many tests, medicines, and procedures, the uninsured can't get the care they need. The institute of medicine estimated in 2004 that as many as eighteen thousand uninsured Americans were dying every year because they did not get needed medical attention. Even having insurance was no longer a guarantee that families would avoid medical bills that threatened to send them into bankruptcy." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Studies published since the institute of medicine report have continued not to find an increased risk of autistic spectrum disorder associated with measles-mumps-rubella. The vaccine also has not been found to be associated with a unique syndrome of developmental regression and gastrointestinal disorders. The evidence now is convincing that the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine does not cause autism or any particular subtypes of autistic spectrum disorder." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "The institute of medicine (IOM) reviewed the connection between mercury-containing vaccines and neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. They concluded that the hypothesis was biologically plausible but that there was insufficient evidence to accept or reject a causal connection and recommended a comprehensive research program. Without citing new experimental evidence, a number of observers have offered opinions on the subject, some of which reject the IOM's conclusions." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "This is especially true because the handling of vaccine safety data from the National Immunization Program of the CDC has been called into question by the institute of medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 2005.

"LOOPING BACK TO VACCINES Even as the evidence pointing to the harmful effects of mercury mount, the institute of medicine announced in May 2004 that it had reviewed earlier studies asking whether thimerosal in vaccines could be linked to the tenfold increase in childhood autism spanning from the early 1980s through the late 1990s—and concluded that there was no link." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Our most recent statistics, from a study published by the institute of medicine in 1996, estimates that every year, about 0.5 to 2 out of every 1,000 babies born in this country have fetal alcohol syndrome. Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are not included in this figure, but Dr. Warren estimated that "probably about three times as many individuals have the broader FASDs than have the full FAS."

"A simpler way to supplement magnesium is to calculate your daily need based on institute of medicine (IOM) requirements and take that full amount as a supplement. This will ensure that you meet at least 15 percent of your magnesium requirement. The IOM estimates that a child needs magnesium of about 5 milligrams per kilogram of lean body mass per day. This translates to 2.3 milligrams per pound of lean body mass per day. For adults, the amount is 6 milligrams per kilogram of lean body mass, or 2.7 milligrams per pound of lean body mass." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"In 2005 in the aftermath of the Vioxx debacle and its withdrawal from the market, the institute of medicine was asked to provide recommendations for improving drug safety. As part of this process they interviewed Janet Woodcock, deputy commissioner of operations at the FDA. As reported by the New York Times on June 9, 2005 ("Drug Safety System is Broken, Top FDA Official Says"), she told the Institute that the nation's drug-safety system had ". . . pretty much broken down." She went on to say that "..." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Recommended Levels of Calcium The Food and Nutrition Board of the institute of medicine has set Adequate Intake levels (AI) for calcium. An RDA was not set because of the many factors that interact to affect bone health. As noted above, extra sodium and protein change the amount of calcium needed in the diet. If vitamin D is inadequate for long periods of time, lower levels of circulating calcidiol (the precursor form of vitamin D) may limit calcium absorption. Bone formation also requires vitamin K, vitamin A, magnesium, and potassium." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) "The Food and Nutrition Board of the institute of medicine established adequate intake levels (AI) for potassium in 2004. These levels are designed to supply adequate potassium to lower blood pressure and minimize the risk of kidney stones. The AI for children ranges from 3 to 4.5 grams. The AI for adults is 4.7 grams. POTASSIUM TOXICITY AND POTASSIUM SUPPLEMENTS Potassium is limited to 99 mg in supplemental form in the United States. Supplemental potassium is available as potassium chloride, bicarbonate, citrate, aspartate, gluconate, and orotate." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) "RECOMMENDED INTAKE OF SODIUM Adequate Intake levels (AI) have been set by the Food and Nutrition Board of the institute of medicine for sodium. These levels are based on the amount of salt needed to replace losses with moderate sweating in average people. The AI for children and adults ranges from 1.0 to 1.5 grams per day. The tolerable upper intake levels for sodium range from 2.4 to 3.8 per day for children and adults." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) "There was not sufficient information for the Food and Nutrition Board of the institute of medicine to determine RDAs for manganese.

"A day later, Fran handed me a report issued by The institute of medicine, titled "To Error is Human." The report asserted that medical errors kill between 44,000 and 88,000 people per year (the sixth to the eighth leading cause of death), more than killed by automobiles.5 Most errors involved the inappropriate administration of medication. Several medical experts challenged the study, claiming that the findings were grossly exaggerated." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"The institute of medicine set 400 meg a day as a tolerable upper limit. The average stand-alone supplement is 200 mg, which is what usually produces great results in studies; you should be absolutely fine with that amount in a supplement. One of my most trusted sources on vitamins and supplements, my dear friend Shari Lieberman, Ph.D., C.N.S., author of the definitive Real Vitamin and Mineral Book, told me: "Various studies have shown that long-term intakes of up to 500 to 750 meg per day have produced no signs of toxicity in humans." - 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.)

"In 1981 the institute of medicine estimated that some $35 million had been spent on stress research in 1979 alone, made note of the "thriving industry" of remedies and literature designed to help alleviate the problem, and pointed to the fact that many occupational-health disputes and legal cases now involved accusations of "excessive stress" on the job.28 One of the most prominent cases of this sort happened in 1981, when the U.S." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"The good news is that negative publicity about drug safety and the FDA led to the 2006 institute of medicine Report, which included a number of recommendations for the future, including increased monitoring of drugs after approval, increased regulatory powers for the FDA, and increased transparency for studies performed by drug companies. This report has led to further congressional activity regarding the FDA and drug safety." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"While the institute of medicine at the National Academy of Sciences found little conclusive evidence that eating fish would do your heart much good (and might hurt your brain, because so much fish is contaminated with mercury), a Harvard study brought the hopeful piece of news that simply by eating a couple of servings of fish each week (or by downing enough fish oil tablets) you could cut your risk of dying from a heart attack by more than a third." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Even if you do, science progresses at the proverbial snail's pace. The institute of medicine reported in 2001, to the dismay of members of the medical establishment, that it takes an average of "15 to 20 years for new scientific knowledge to percolate down into everyday medical practice."35 Theoretical shifts that could change the very understanding of the fundamentals of science can take even longer to become widely known and accepted." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Right before writing this section I went to the National Institute of Medicine's library, the main database for recognized, respected, peer-reviewed journal studies, and I typed in "Selenium and MDS." The first entry, right off the bat, was from the January 2007 Archives of Internal Medicine: "Suppression of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 viral load with selenium supplementation." The researchers concluded that "daily selenium supplementation can suppress the progression of HIV-1 viral burden and provide indirect improvement of CD4 count." - 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.) "O n c 73 m It didn't matter that I faxed them fifty pages of peer-reviewed literature from the National institute of medicine. They wouldn't budge. And my mother, bless her heart, was of the generation that believed that if the doctor told you something, that was it. You didn't question, you didn't go against their advice, Doctor Knows Best, and that was that. Let me be blunt: The doctors who told me that they didn't know what CoQ 10 was or that it couldn't possibly help were idiots." - 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.)
