"Low blood sugar is not caused by a lack of sugar in the diet," the authors point out. "It is caused by the failure of the body's sugar-regulating mechanism, which results in a lowered sugar level in the blood after the person has eaten sugar. The obvious treatment would be to not eat sugar. |

 I just want to point out two things and then urge you to speak to a knowledgeable healthcare practitioner about them: One, the findings are controversial, and may apply only to women who started taking the hormones later in life. Two, further analysis has shown that taking hormones for a short time (a few years) during the "worst" of the transition phase does not appear to be a problem. I'd also urge—repeat urge— you to talk to a health practitioner who is knowledgeable about bioidentical hormones (see below) and nutrition. |

 Jeraldine Saunders, coauthor of Hypoglycemia: The Classic healthcare Handbook, offers testimony to the multiple benefits of making these diet and lifestyle changes.
"It's totally worth it to do without sweets," declares Saunders, a hypoglycemic who has been sugar free for more than four decades. "I'm 83, but I feel much better than I ever have, and I have more energy now than I did when I was 23. And believe it or not, I still have the same slim figure that I had when I was a professional model years ago. |

 Across the country, healthcare insurance rates are going up 10 to 30 percent a year, far outstripping wage increases. It's outrageous. We are all paying more and getting less.
However, there is a model that works. It is called integrative medicine and it is practiced nationwide by a large network of talented health care professionals. |

Green Tea—A Tea for Life
For more than 30 years, Western researchers have known that the occurrence of solid tumor cancers is far less in countries where populations consume large amounts of green tea. Cultures that are endowed with a long tea tradition have much to contribute to individual and global health. However, this applies only to green tea. |

 This is actually the key question currently facing humanity - far more important than terrorism, crime, healthcare, education or any of the other everyday concerns that fill up our newspapers and television screens. We all face a decision: what temperature, and by implication, what C02 concentration, do we aim for? 400 ppm? 550 ppm? My guess is that a standard Gallup or Mori poll of the general public would not pick up too many answers. Most of the population would be in the 'don't know' category. |

Eyebright is an herb that's been used for hundreds of years as a compress against eye infections and other irritations, but according to Starbuck, it's effective orally to treat inflammation of nasal mucous membranes and sinuses.
"I often have clients take the tincture by mouth," she says. "Topically it's great as a compress against the eyes for irritation and watery eyes." She also suggests drinking chamomile tea, as it has an anti-mucus action that allergy sufferers will find soothing. |

 Genital warts should always be treated by a healthcare professional.
Duct tape occlusion: Warts that are not painful do not need to be treated, \\j but can be removed through duct tape occlusion. The area surrounding the t wart is completely covered with duct tape and left for about a week. The tape is removed and the area is soaked and debrided with a pumice stone. After a day, the duct tape is reapplied. This treatment is continued until the wart is gone.
Topical treatments: A 17% salicylic acid, obtained over the counter, can be applied to a wart twice a day for 12 weeks. |

| The real failure is on the part of government agencies, such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Agency for healthcare Research and Quality. Medical journals and academic researchers have become dependent on drug company money and/or are vulnerable to drug company lobbying. Doctors and the public still trust these institutions to independently oversee the integrity of the knowledge that informs our medical care, when they simply are not able to do this anymore.

1. Keep medication out of the sight and reach of young children.

| Even more alarming, some drug companies are reimbursing pharmacies or home healthcare providers for unapproved medications in nebulizer form (a fine spray or vapor) that can actually worsen asthma symptoms.
These findings come from two studies by the Allergy and Asthma Network/Mothers of Asthmatics (AANMA).
THE FIRST STUDY
The first study gathered information from 19 Medicaid patients and 24 health-care providers about the medications they use and prescribe. |

When cuts or other wounds happen, taking some simple steps can help speed the body's natural healing process. Experts writing in the Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource offer thefollowing suggestions...
•Cover, press, clean. Cover the wound with a sterile dressing and apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Use tap/bottled water or sterile saline to wash the wound. |

| This is due to their highly advanced "healthcare system." Similar to our bodies, plants have immune systems to ensure their own survival and health. They use prickly thorns, poison as in the case of the deadly nightshades, or they envelop themselves in a wax-covering that is impenetrable for microbes and insects such as lice, beetles, etc. If any of these predatoros somehow manage to enter the plant's interior, inborn defense mechanisms attempt to destroy the invaders, not dissimilar to our own defense responses. |

Hormonal therapy
The first line of treatment of advanced prostate cancer involves the reduction, blockage or cessation of testosterone production. Hormonal treatment of advanced stage prostate cancer shrinks the size of the prostate by 25 to 50%. [Minerva Urology Nefrology 57: 71-84, 2005]
Dr. Charles Huggins received a Nobel Prize in 1966 for his discovery that prostate cancer could be successfully treated with hormones. |
| Three-year interval colonoscopies performed on 80 million Americans at an estimated cost of $1,000 each would run up an incredible tab in the nation's healthcare budget. Fortunately, those patients with a negative first colonoscopy wouldn't need to return for another exam for another 10 years. These figures are weighed against the 155,000 new cases annually and 65,000 deaths from colon/rectal cancer. |

| What eradicated the epidemics was not a change in the climate, but a change in material circumstances: economic growth and better healthcare. Hence, future projections of malaria transmission depend crucially not just on rainfall and temperature but economic and population scenarios. This explains the rather counter-intuitive result obtained by one 2004 study which found that hundreds of millions more people would be at risk of contracting malaria in a future scenario with lower greenhouse gas emissions. |

 If GM didn't have to pay healthcare costs, the company wouldn't have to shut down 12 automobile manufacturing plants and lay off 30,000 workers.
That's a direct example of how healthcare costs are reducing our global competitiveness and costing us jobs. The result is that if we don't make changes in our society, we will eventually wind up as a broke, diseased and drug-addicted nation that will never again rise to be a global leader.
Whether or not real health reforms ever happen at a national level, you can make them happen on a personal level. |

 The high costs of caring for these millions of demented elderly may wreak havoc on the healthcare system.
This paradox has been called the "failure of success" because it was a major problem that was largely attributable to progress in medical care.5 As E.M. Gruenberg and his colleagues point out, "the old man's friend, pneumonia, is dead - a victim of medical progress."6 While this is an oversimplification, pneumonia is certainly less common than it used to be, as are many other diseases that were previously fatal to the elderly. |

 The caregivers will distribute information and urge moviegoers to join the drive for a fundamental overhaul of the nation's dysfunctional healthcare system -- as is so brilliantly described in "SiCKO." They will urge the audience to help pass single-payer/Medicare-for-all-type legislation such as HR 676 now pending in Congress and several states, and make it a central focus of the presidential campaign.
Nurses and doctors are serving as co-hosts of "SiCKO" premieres across the nation. |
| SiCKO" profiles a number of Americans with insurance who have been denied needed care by their insurance companies, describes how the insurance-based healthcare system is structured to keep it that way, and provides examples of other industrialized nations where insurance companies do not stand in the way of medical care.
The campaign will highlight the need for reforms that prevent insurance companies from denying care, and send a strong signal to politicians in Congress, state capitals, and the presidential race who are promoting insurance-based reforms. |
