"This is unlikely, as we learn from a study published in NEJM that capitalized on the "natural experiment" created by the difference in post-heart attack care between texas and New York state. Medicare patients in texas were 50 percent more likely than similar patients in New York to have a cardiac catheterization within 90 days after a heart attack. Surprisingly, patient outcomes in texas were actually worse over the following two years: The death rate was significantly higher in texas (15 percent)." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Also, the patients in texas reported about 40 percent more angina (heart pain), and 62 percent more of the patients in texas were unable to do tasks that required moderate exertion compared with the patients in New York. The authors concluded that there appeared to be no benefit to the greater number of post-heart attack cardiac procedures being done in texas. Post-heart attack care has changed dramatically since the early 1980s, when only about 10 percent of heart attack patients in the United States underwent diagnostic cardiac catheterization." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"The texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP), which was developed while President Bush was governor of texas, was cited as a model. Developed in 1995 by a consortium of pharmaceutical-industry representatives, state mental-health facilities, and the University of texas, TMAP recommends first-line use of patented medications for treatment of mental disorders in spite of the fact that there is no evidence that they are better than older medications." - J.

"Krigsman has had with the texas medical board. However, they made little effort to refute Unigenetics' findings. It seemed clear, however, that that job would be left to some of the 12 respondent witnesses who are scheduled to testify next week. The Cedillo family's argument for how vaccines hurt their child was presented most efficiently by Kennedy, a virus immunologist at texas Tech University. He posited that the 112.5 millionths of a gram of thimerosal contained in six vaccines administered to Michelle during her first seven months of life had damaged her immune system." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"I'd like to listen to your experiences," he told a panel of scholars in texas who had gathered to engage with him. "I'd like to hear what is the latest in research into the relations between consciousness and matter, and how they affect each other."71 In fact, the scholars in texas did not have much to say about those matters, and so the conversation there turned in other directions. Two weeks later, however, the Dalai Lama came to Harvard University for a three-day visit, and one of the people he met there was Herbert Benson, who did have things to say on this topic." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"In another case, in El Paso, texas, a forty-two-year-old former resident with multiple sclerosis contacted the texas Department of Health in 1994 to report an apparent cluster of MS cases among people who had spent their childhood in the Kern Place-Mission Hills area of El Paso.

"After California, there are seven states with high numbers of female physicians—New York, texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Florida, and New Jersey. Female physicians in those states make up an additional 39 percent of the total for the entire country. So if you live in one of these eight states, you may have an easier time finding a female physician than you'd have in one of the other forty-two states. But with more and more women entering medical school, these numbers will improve in the near future." - Benjamin H.

All were negative, and the test results were announced less than three weeks after the animals were killed. From a Times Argus article we learned that "one texas producer imported four head of the German animals. He sold one animal for diagnostic purposes and agreed to sell another for testing in about forty-five days, but does not want to sell the remaining two animals. The remaining animals are under restriction and surveillance by a USDA field veterinarian." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"The federal government's New Freedom Commission supports both Early Mental Health Screening in the schools, and the texas Medication Algorithm Project, a pharmaceutical company attempt to enforce guidelines necessitating the use of its products. Because most children will be referred for medical evaluation, virtually assuring the prescription of psychiatric drugs, the country is being threatened by what Alaskan attorney Jim Gottstein, director of PsychRights, has called a drugging dragnet." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

Fever occurs in about 1% of cases." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"After suggesting that Patrick bring a malpractice suit against the doctor, I referred him to Michael Mosher, a lawyer from the small town of Paris, texas, who knows more about psychiatric drugs than most psychiatrists.

One in four Americans is obese, as defined by a body mass index, or BMI (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters), of over thirty.

"Chapter 14 Baker's (1996) treatise on the genealogy of "moral hazard" was published in the texas Law Review. My discussions are complementary (Hadler 1999a). This "Health Assurance, Disease Insurance Plan" has been presented to many professional groups. A version was published (Hadler 2005).

"The cardiologist Peter Langsjoen, of Tyler, texas, has participated in CoQIO studies since the early 1980s. First with his cardiologist father, Per, who passed away in 1993, and subsequently in his own private practice, Langsjoen has logged more clinical usage of CoQIO than any other U.S. doctor. "It's the backbone of my cardiac practice, and I find it unthinkable to practice medicine without it," said Langsjoen. "Based on more than ten thousand patients, I can unequivocally say it does a great deal of good for many people without any side effects. Using CoQIO is like watering a dry plant." - 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.)

"One Middle Eastern businessman pays Island Scent to ship loads of shells to El Paso, texas, where they are then smuggled underground into Mexico to be inlaid with Arabic designs, motifs and letters.

"The Miracle Supplement In the early 1980s, Folkers collaborated with Per Langsjoen, of the Scott and White Clinic in Temple, texas, in the first well-controlled cardiomyopathy study of CoQIO.

"The equator passes through texas. Fact: The equator is approximately 2,300 miles south of Houston, texas.3 the research which found that environmental factors and personal values are primary culprits. The genetic view admittedly lessens personal responsibility, but it also says that Native Americans are born with a genetic flaw which keeps them from having as much control over their own lives (at least when it comes to alcoholism) as do the rest of us." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"Joy England, a thirty-two-year-old mom from Georgetown, texas, began her struggle to find out what was happening to her in 1999, when she was twenty-four years old.

England's doctor took her ailments seriously from the get-go—four people on England's mother's side had rheumatoid arthritis, and her mother had diabetes. Her doctor ran an antinu-clear antibodies test, or ANA." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)
