"Pages of this book were written during different stays in the small white hospital rooms of Johns Hopkins Hospital, and many chapters were drafted during long bedridden months at home. The greatest of these challenges began one fine spring afternoon as I was celebrating "Carpet Day" with my daughter. Carpet Day is our own personal mother-child holiday, celebrated only by us. On the first great spring day we take an old carpet and unroll it on our suburban drive. We bring pillows, chalk, snacks, and lemonade and lie there, reading and chatting, pretending it's the beach for a whole afternoon." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"At the very least, hospital rooms should be cleansed daily with UV with sufficient strength to kill the surrounding bacteria. Even a hospital's profits would improve; they are businesses, after all. The University of Pennsylvania Center for Health Transformation states, "Nosocomial infections create terrific problems by prolonging hospital stays, occupying scarce bed-days, requiring a greater number of diagnoses, more medication, and a greater burden on doctors and nurses." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.) "It is likely that nosocomial (in hospital) infections could be decreased or eliminated by exposing hospital rooms to sunlight and/or full-spectrum UV. 10. Vitamin D and sunlight are powerful immune system enhancers. 11. Tuberculosis may in part be due to vitamin D insufficiency and lack of sunlight exposure. 12. Observational evidence suggests that UV/vitamin D helps reduce migraine headaches. 13. Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant mothers correlates closely to risk of asthma in their children. 14. HIV infected patients usually have very low levels of vitamin D. 15." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"As an alternative, hand-sanitizing gel, which is now located outside many hospital rooms, may be used by visitors. Other self-defense strategies... •Keep a bottle of hand-sanitizing gel at your bedside. Use this hand cleanser yourself before eating. •Beware of the TV remote control. One study found that remote controls in hospitals have three times more bacteria than doorknobs or nurse call buttons. To protect yourself, cover the TV remote with a new medical glove. You'll still be able to change the channels. •Ask about the stethoscope." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"The business practices that the Street has introduced—cutting corners, trimming costs by eliminating nurses, hiring less-qualified physicians, replacing skilled employees with the unskilled, paying poverty-level wages to many workers, driving down the salaries of professionals, even curtailing the cleaning of hospital rooms, operating rooms, and doctors' offices to meet financial projections—have also been adopted with a vengeance by the so-called nonprofit side of medicine, so much so that the two now are often indistinguishable." - Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele, Critical Condition: How Health Care in America Became Big Business (Get the book.)

"Preserves and flavors meat wrapped in Rosemary; antiseptic for incensing hospital rooms (burned with Juniper berries); wards off witches (planted around the home); said that if a young person tapped another with a twig having an open flower, the two would fall in love; for fidelity, loyalty. Rosemary oil aroma or 1 -3 drops for internal ailments, helps most of the above conditions. In large amounts, Rosemary oil can irritate the stomach, intestines, and kidneys. •ROWANBERRIES (Fructus sorbi) European Mountain Ash, red tree-bome berries; dry for hoarseness. Serve in jams." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.)
