 How healthy are doctors and conventional health care workers?
I hardly need to tell you that old school doctors and health care workers are some of the least healthy people in our society. Sadly, many old-school MDs believe their own advice about drugs, and as a result, they suffer the effects of conventional medicine. Obesity is rampant among traditional doctors and health care workers, and depression and mental health disorders affect many. They also tend to die at young ages from heart attacks and other easily preventable health problems. |

 The pharmaceuticals that the drug companies produce for these mental health care workers are as dangerous as any of the drugs dealers on the streets sell. Magnesium should be substituted for these drugs not only because it is very effective in relieving neurological disorders but because it is vastly safer than any pharmaceutical.
I practiced neurology and psychiatry for 30 years, but found to my chagrin that it was largely a huge fraud, despite the fact that most of the doctors I met had the best intentions. They were simply brain-washed.

So why do we turn to these people for answers to our own health? It makes no sense. |

 A recent study revealed that more than 70 percent of health care workers failed to use the proper arm position established by the American Heart Association. This position calls for the elbow to be slightly flexed and held at heart level.
In a study from the University of California, San Diego, 100 subjects' blood pressure was taken in six different positions. The researchers found that when the subjects were seated with the arm perpendicular to the body, hypertension was recorded in 22 percent. |

 Ironically, emerging pathogens, too, often initially strike among specific occupational groups. health care workers are an obvious example of those who were especially hard-hit by SARS. Another key occupational group in that epidemic was composed of workers who had contact with animals. Indeed, these workers may have been the original source of the outbreak. People who work with animals for a living (including veterinarians and pet shop employees) were also prominently at risk for monkey pox infection. |

 This means that the psychotechnologies that are emerging from the latest research can be used by health care workers in Uganda or Laos—as well as in Scotland or Canada.
Intention as Quantum Conversation
It is possible to imagine a time in the near future when paying attention will be the first thing we do when we get sick. Spiritual and emotional remedies will be the first line of defense, not the last. Sufferers will seek metaphysical solutions not when they've exhausted all conventional means, but instead before they submit to the drugs and surgery of allopathic medicine. |

| Modern chemotherapy drugs are so strong that they can cause secondary cancers in patients; to a healthy person, they're poison. Most health care workers are clueless about how toxic these agents really are. When oncologists use radiation and chemotherapy, they are using agents that cause cancer to treat the disease.

 Besides the lack of health care workers and medical supplies, there was a shortage of coffins, morticians, and gravediggers.
The world is overdue for a new outbreak of supervirus on the order of the 1918 flu. One like it may have been only narrowly averted. In May 1997 Hong Kong officials reported the death of a three-year-old boy from complications of influenza. In August, authorities identified the strain of influenza virus isolated from the boy as H5N1. |

 So why do we look to doctors and health care workers for advice on our own health when those very same people are some of the least healthy people in our nation?
Simple nutritional deficiencies that cause disease—resulting in billions of dollars in health care costs—can be reversed for just pennies a day.
They say the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. It was no less insane, I decided, to keep following the advice of obviously unhealthy people if I wanted to achieve a higher state of health myself. |

| For instance, health care workers might develop a latex allergy from wearing latex gloves every day.
What are Common Symptoms? Skin rash, scratchy or swollen throat, watery eyes, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, sinus headaches, difficulty breathing, stomach upset, vomiting, diarrhea, or bloating.
Delicious ways to dodge food allergies
You may not want to kiss and tell, but one woman couldn't help it after kissing her husband. She is allergic to peanuts. He just ate a nutty candy bar. The result — itching and swelling serious enough to require medication. |

 It happens in every epidemic: the health care workers are exposed to the carriers, and they become infected. This turns hospitals into a viral propagation machine. Don't believe me? Just read your history books on Ebola, Marburg and all the hot zone microbes coming out of Zaire. Read the history of the 1918 influenza outbreak. It will open your eyes.
Real solutions are readily available
Look, I don't want to fan the flames on this issue. People are scared enough already. |

| The powerful drugs used in chemotherapy can themselves cause cancer and pose a risk to nurses, pharmacists and others who handle them. Four years in the making, the alert was issued by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Chemotherapy ?the use of potent drugs to kill cancerous cells ?is more than 60 years old. The first such drugs were nitrogen mustards, originally developed as chemical warfare agents. Modern chemotherapy drugs are so strong that they can cause secondary cancers in patients; to a healthy person, they're poison. |

So why do we turn to these people for answers to our own health? It makes no sense. If we wish to be healthy, we must model individuals who are themselves healthy. A medical school certificate has no credibility when the person holding it is clearly diseased. Health is not an intellectual exercise, it is a life experience. |

 U.S. representing 10.5% of the workforce. This writer has too often been censored by nurses who guard internet chat rooms for breast cancer patients to "maintain the status quo" for the doctors they work for. Getting real answers to women about breast cancer is difficult when health "authorities" provide their patients with misinformation.
The real risk factors for breast cancer
What many American women have been taught is that breast cancer may be inevitable, that is, that it's genetically programmed. |

 Many persons now receive hepatitis B vaccine routinely at work (such as health care workers, some police officers, firemen, and others), and many receive it when traveling to protect against infection. If you are not immune after the initial usual series of hepatitis B vaccine (meaning your titer for hepatitis B surface antibody is less than 10 mlU/mL when it is checked with a blood test), you may wish to receive the "dialysis dose" because that has been shown to provide 100% response in all persons, including "nonresponders. |

 An advocate for lower staffing ratios and better patient care, CNA has become a national voice calling attention to the consequences of market-driven medicine in hospitals and its impact on patients and health care workers.
The largest independent union of nurses in the country, CNA has responded much more aggressively to the changes imposed on hospitals—the increased workloads and budget battles with hospital managers—than many old-line organizations. |

 Unfortunately, many health care workers and health and fitness writers fall into this category. Only recently has the truth about coconut oil been reemerging.
As far back as the 1950s, research began to show the health benefits of coconut oil. For many years it was considered a good oil with many nutritional uses. So how did coconut oil become a despised artery-clogging villain? Give credit to the American Soybean Association (ASA).
It began in the mid 1980s. At the time the media was stirred into a frenzy warning the public about a newly discovered health threat—coconut oil. |

| Despite the evidence presented in this book, many health care workers and writers will continue to argue and say coconut oil is bad for you. It's hard to accept a new truth when you have been conditioned to believe something else for many years. However, if you have an open mind and are willing to accept new truths, you will welcome the knowledge about coconut oil. There are too many benefits to ignore. I didn't make this stuff up. The information in this book came from published studies and clinical observations as well as historical and epidemiological research. |
| Medical researchers and health care workers are discovering new health benefits associated with coconut oil all the time. Currently several clinics in the United States are testing the efficiency of a dietary supplement composed of monolaurin—a derivative of coconut oil. Doctors have reported remarkable results with patients. One female patient, for example, who suffered with ovarian cysts for 20 years began taking the supplement and within one month the cysts began to shrink and disappear. |

 The Handbook of Cancer Chemotherapy, a standard reference for medical personnel, offers this warning:
The potential risks involved in handling cytotoxic agents have become a concern for health care workers. The literature reports various symptoms such as eye, membrane, and skin irritation, as well as dizziness, nausea, and headache experienced by health care workers not using safe handling precautions. In addition, increased concerns regarding the mutagenesis and teratogenesis [deformed babies] continue to be investigated. |

| All told, more than three dozen clinics across the Los Angeles metropolitan area would be shut down, disrupting health care for 300,000 patients and throwing 2,000 health care workers, including doctors, out on the street. Adding insult to injury, employees were told not to cash their last paychecks. The company did not have enough money to cover them. Some employees also lost health insurance coverage for themselves and their families when KPC failed to pay the premiums. The orderly transition state officials had promised quickly turned into something entirely different. |

 The 2001-2002 influenza vaccine guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) include three categories: those over sixty-five; people fifty to sixty-four years old who have chronic medical conditions (weakening their immune system and making them more susceptible to severe complications); and high-risk people such as health care workers and their families. |

 In an Israeli study, health care workers applied fresh, unprocessed honey to the open, infected wounds of infants that had failed to heal with conventional treatment. After five days of twice-daily honey applications, all infants were much improved. Three weeks later, all wounds had healed. Of course, this can be a messy remedy,- it's likely to attract both pets and pests! To keep them away, cover the wound with gauze and tape in place.

| Increasing numbers of cases of latex sensitivity have been reported—among patients as well as medical personnel—as more health care workers routinely wear latex gloves as a part of universal infection control precautions (see Box 4.3). Some people develop the annoying and irritating skin rash from contact with the rubber accelerators or antioxidants, but those who become sensitized to latex are at risk of more severe reactions. |
