 Big Field: Many of the newer cars have a global positioning system (GPS) device that works via satellite. The gps allows you to know your position relative to the environment. It tells you where you are in relation to factors of Earth such as longitude and latitude or a location within a city. You can think of the NES scan results of the Big Field as telling you something about your body-field's state in relation to certain energy grids/fields of Earth (vertical, equatorial, and magnetic polar axes). þ Energetic Drivers: To drive your car, you have to fuel it. |

 Further, as is done in the nursing home in Oslo where Arne Naess lives, nursing homes of the future can use video cameras and gps devices to track patients and monitor them if they get lost or fall. Personalized digital devices can hold individualized music, photo, and video files that can be used to stimulate or calm an individual with memory problems as the need arises. Integrating technology into our care for the elderly is an increasingly feasible endeavor. |

 But what about people who sit behind desks, dispense medical advice, or work their cell phones, computers and gps device sometimes all at once? Could their health be endangered by how they earn their living? It turns out that some prestigious professions that no one thinks of as unsafe are in fact riddled with risk.
We're not used to thinking that doctors or scientists face greater odds of developing cancer and other diseases tied to the way they spend their daily lives. |

 It is like a gps (global positioning system) that constantly informs us of who we are, where we are, and where we're going. That map will be in a neuro-biochemical language. Its frequency signature will also be noted. One key way we store information is by certain frequencies that then resonate with higher centers to help produce the connection. It may be that the imprinted feelings "know" they have friends in higher circles and need to make their acquaintance. What is important about the OBFC is that it contains representations from the depths of the brain. |

 The fourth, how to take the medicine, was ranked second by gps. And the fifth, what it consists of, was ranked fifteenth by gps. The top doctor priority, meanwhile, to know the drug's interactions with other medicines, hardly registered at all with patients.31
'The goal of the healthcare professional is to treat symptoms or cure disease and for the patient these are but components of a spectrum of other life circumstances,' says Christine Bond, professor of primary care at Aberdeen University. |
| In the UK, such enthusiasts include Professor Andre Tylee, chairman of the National Institute for Mental Health, who is responsible for educating gps in the treatment of mental health.
He has no shortage of evidence about the value of a good diet. Malcom Peet, an NHS psychiatric consultant, for example, recently led separate studies with schizophrenics and depressives who were failing to respond to drugs. 'Both studies concluded that the fish oil EPA, is effective,' wrote Lucy Mayhew in the Guardian. |

 New technologies—online mapping systems, gps units, cell phones, and other information appliances—could revive the notion, turning city streets and willing drivers into a personaltransportation network for passengers. Ideally, no planning ahead would be necessary; getting a ride would require only a little more effort than hailing a taxi. Instead of extending a thumb or waving down a cab, the rider would use a cell phone to enter her location (assuming the phone didn't already know it) and desired destination. |

 If you're hiking, you could easily carry a gps unit, LED flashlight, maps, safety equipment and first-aid gear. All of those kinds of things can easily be stowed in the backTpack product and carried with you.
My only complaint about this product is that it can get twisted around quite easily when you're not wearing it. Sometimes it's difficult to sort out the right configuration of the straps when putting it back on, and the left and right parts seem to want to twist their own uncoordinated way. But this is a minor complaint. |

 Studies in several nations show that roughly 80 percent of doctors still regularly see drug detailers, though gps like Dr. Iona Heath and Canadian Dr. Warren Bell do not.63 A family physician in Salmon Arm, a small rural town in the interior of British Columbia, Bell grimaces as he talks about the early flattery and friendship offered to him by the company detailers when he was a young intern. "I was basically offended, deeply offended by the fact that people would be nice to me not because of who I was, but because of the role I play in society. |

| While 40% of patients who walk into doctors' surgeries are said to be suffering from a mental health problem, two-thirds of gps have had no specific nutritional mental health training and therefore do not routinely consider what their patients are eating. Tylee is so passionate about the benefits of nutritional therapy in mental health he wants it to become the first line of treatment doctors use when dealing with mental illness.
His reasons become more compelling when one visits any Internet chat room on a mainstream behavioural problem such as ADD or depression. |
| Inappropriate prescription of medicines by gps is of particular concern,' the MPs said in the UK inquiry into the pharma industry, adding that this was partly due to their poor education which 'has meant that too few non-specialists are able to make objective assessments of the merits of drugs and too many seem not to recognise how little is known about the properties of a drug at the time of licensing, particularly about its adverse consequences.'19
A far more obvious cause is an observation made further in the report. 'The Department of Health spends around £4. |

| But no one was listening. Even gps who took the time to report how their patients were reacting to commonly prescribed drugs were not taken seriously.
To substantiate the claim, as if the facts hadn't spoken sufficiently eloquently for themselves, the programme makers commissioned a report analysing the 1,370 emails that had been sent in by viewers plus another 862 messages on a similar theme addressed to a website discussion group. |

 In the future, volcanologists will have another tool to improve their monitoring: the Global Positioning System, or gps (see page 67). As an eruption approaches, strains and pressures within the earth cause small bulges to appear at places on the flanks of the mountain. If sensors are put on the mountain before the bulging starts, the gps can determine their positions and trace the gradual rising or sinking of the ground.
Computers can also help governments plan what to do when the volcano finally erupts. |

 Only the quality of life seems to be better in the GP group, probably for two reasons: (1) The coffee enemas, taken twice a day, give some pain relief so that most of the gps only need low doses of non-steroidal antirheumatics (aspirin or other similar analgesics). They usually do not take alkaloids, so that they can lead quite an active life in spite of their disease. (2) Hypercalcemia, which can alter kidney function, does not occur in gps, maybe as a result of the intake of more than two litres of juices per day. |

A cross-sectional survey of 125 patients attending specialty pain clinics in South London found that possible iatrogenic factors such as "over-investigation, inappropriate information, and advice given to patients as well as misdiagnosis, over-treatment, and inappropriate prescription of medication were common. |

| The catch is that not all of these doctors are gps. Some are, but some are not. Your first choice for primary care physician should be a GP; this will put you ahead of the game up front.
Today's gps are trained in internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, general surgery, and psychiatry. This makes it possible for them to deal with a wide range of problems you or members of your family may face. It also enables them to determine whether what is ailing you is common or will require a specialist.

 In 1912 Franklin Martin's public relations tour for the College of Surgeons was interrupted with heckling by hostile gps. The college fellows were accused either of degrading the profession by forming "a glorified surgical union, along labor lines" or of establishing a new oligarchy, "an exclusive Four Hundred in the profession."86
The reform leadership gathering in the wings of the AMA included many leading specialists, but they saw the importance of putting the interests of the profession as a whole at the forefront of their campaign. |
| Fee-splitting could not resolve conflicting interests between specialists and gps at the national level.
Ultimately, the development of specialties and subspecialties has indeed reduced overall competition within the medical profession. The ratio of primary care physicians has fallen from more than 170 per 100,000 population in 1900 to less than sixty per 100,000 today.85 But the division of physician labor into specialties created intraprofessional problems, pitting general practitioner against specialist. |
| Fee-splitting became a widespread practice to control competition and gain acceptance of specialists by gps.
Fee-splitting, however, was a private tool of individuals used to soften competitive relations among themselves. For fee-splitting to be used collectively by the organized profession would require an open admission of its existence and legitimacy within the profession. That would have been worse than the competition that fee-splitting was attempting to regulate because it was a purely commercial arrangement that undercut professional claims of expertise and privilege. |
| If we add to these gps those specialists whose practices are mainly focused on primary care—those in internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and family practice—still less than half of all U.S. physicians are involved in primary care. By contrast, prepaid group practices average 69 percent of their physicians in primary care and the British National Health Service includes 74 percent. |

| General practitioners obviously suffered to the extent that their patients went to specialists with complaints the gps formerly treated. From the 1850s onward, the GP-dominated medical societies attacked what they viewed as unfair competition. In 1874 the AMA's judicial council ruled that specialists could advertise only that their practices were "limited to diseases peculiar to women" or "diseases of the eye and ear." Such restrictions on specialists denied the claims of scientific leaders that specialism was based on greater expertise not available to the general practitioner. |

 Private gps say that the majority of their patients are people like taxi drivers and shopkeepers, who place a monetary value on their own time and therefore think private medicine is less expensive.
One problem with the NHS is that general practitioners are paid on the basis of capitation. They get paid the same amount per patient no matter how much or how little they do for him. In effect, they are punished for being conscientious and rewarded for being sloppy. But both patients and physicians can escape into the private sector, at least when it really counts. |

 Note. gps and other practitioners may help stop meningitis claiming lives by giving massive doses of Echinacea before they are admitted to hospital.
Note. The infection is often difficult to diagnose. At the end of each year (November and December) when the peak in cases approaches, every feverish patient with headache should be suspected, especially where accompanied by stiff neck.

| Lechner continues:
The hepatic enzyme profiles, in four patients more than four times beyond the normal range at the beginning of treatment, became completely normal in the two gps within four months and remained so for more than one year. One of the two women had her gallbladder removed and . . . died of liver failure. The other is still leading an active life. Ultrasound and CT-scan show no growth of the metastases.
In another four pairs success was not so evident; the enzyme profiles remained high and the disease was apparently progressing. |

 Furthermore, more and more gps are being programmed by the American Psychiatric Association to label patients as "depressed" and to refer them immediately to psychiatrists (or prescribe antidepressants themselves).
If your general practitioner is unable to uncover the source of your symptoms (which often will be the case), then ask for a referral to an appropriate specialist—which, in most cases, won't be a psychiatrist. If your symptoms include heart palpitations and anxiety, for instance, see a cardiologist. |
