 The Canadian Federation of nurses Unions is also participating, with other groups to be announced.
A delegation of nurses and doctors from across the country will embark on a tour of East Coast cities beginning today in New York to help energize the nurse grassroots. The tour will mostly take place in a colorfully-wrapped bus encouraging people to see the movie and is being planned in conjunction with premieres of the film in New York, Washington D.C., and other locales. |
| Calling it the "Scrubs for SiCKO" campaign, organizers will recruit registered nurses and doctors to every theater in the nation where "SiCKO" opens to ensure that caregivers -- in SiCKO scrubs -- are in the audience.
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. |

So if nurses, doctors, employers, state governments and nearly all the people in the country want universal health care, why hasn't it happened yet? The answer is simple: Because the corporations currently profiting from sickness and disease don't want to give up their control over health care. Big Pharma is making billions of dollars selling dangerous drugs to people who largely don't need them. Health insurance companies are raking in billions more by denying payment for medical procedures. |
| It's interesting that even nurses and health practitioners are fed up with the current greed-based health care system that operates in America today. Doctors are buried under insurance paperwork (which takes up about 70% - 80% of the staff at a given clinic or hospital), insurance companies play the "we won't pay" game with everybody, and the people end up paying for insurance that won't cover them when they need it anyway. |
| REPPED: Starting June 29th, the launch day of the SiCKO documentary, nurses, doctors and other health care practitioners are launching a national campaign to urge support for a shift to a universal health care system. They'll be handing out flyers and recruiting people to support a campaign to shift America away from its current greed-based system of medicine to one that offers universal health care to everyone. |

 Some of the most persuasive evidence about the effect of exercise on the aging brain comes from a landmark research project called the Nurses' Health Study, which began surveying the health habits of more than 122,000 nurses every two years, in the mid-1970s. In 1995 researchers began cognitive testing for some of the nurses, which allowed Harvard epidemiologist Jennifer Weuve to analyze the relationship between exercise level and cognitive ability for 18,766 women between seventy and eighty-one years old. |

 The extensive 1991 Nurses' Health Study showed a 46 percent increase in ischemic stroke risk among nurses using HRT, despite the fact that this group is comprised of women with less diabetes, less cigarette smoking, and less adiposity than those not using estrogen. Six years earlier, the Framingham, Massachusetts study suggested that the risk of heart disease actually increased with the use of HRT. Similar results were reported by the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1995. |

 The Finnish study had at least two advantages over the nurses study. First, it assessed all types of life-events stress, whereas the nurses study was limited to job-related stress. First, the latter considered only job-related stress, whereas the former assessed all types of "life-events" stress, surely a better design. Second, the Finnish study had the advantage of comparing and contrasting twins, and thus, to an extent, minimizing the independent influence of genetic factors. So perhaps we should lean toward the validity of the Finnish study. |

 In the health care field, triage nurses are the ones who evaluate the patient to determine which patient is in the most critical condition and will be seen by the doctor first. Extensive studies have revealed that the "triage nurses" in our bodies recognize damaged cell parts and then repair them.2 The body doesn't just patch these cells; it actually tears them down completely and then rebuilds from scratch. Incredible, isn't it? Damaged proteins become brand-new proteins, made with recycled amino acids. The body repairs altered fats and DNA in a similar matter. |

 Theories based on migration data suggest that an infectious agent may play a role in causing MS, but it's probably a combination of these factors.
The nurses Health Study (Harvard University, 2004) showed a 40 percent reduction in the risk of MS among nurses whose intake of supplemental vitamin D was at least 400 IU per day. These results were confirmed in a 2006 study of U.S. military personal, when Harvard University researchers found that D levels at or above 40 in subjects younger than twenty years had the greatest impact on risk reduction. |

 Walter Willett, citing three groundbreaking, much-acclaimed, long-term studies: the Nurses' Health Study I (which studied the dietary habits of 121,700 people), the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (52,000 participants), and the Nurses' Health Study II (116,000 folks), all of which followed their participants for years.
"All three studies showed that people with a higher intake of refined starches and sugars had approximately twice of risk of diabetes compared to those with a low intake," adds Dr. |
| For the Nurses' Health Study II, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Children's Hospital Boston analyzed data on more than 91,000 female nurses between 1991 and 1999 and found that those women who reported having more than one soft drink per day showed an SO percent increased risk for type 2 diabetes compared to those who drank less than one soda a month. This increase was independent of other lifestyle factors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, physical activity, and other dietary habits. |

 There was a trial in which people called nurses on the phone and pretended to be doctors. They asked the nurses to go get a certain drug and prescribe it to a patient down the hall. It turns out that the doses were fatal. Did the nurses notice that these doses were fatal? Of course not. They filled the prescription, marched down the hall to administer the dose, and the people who were running the experiment finally stopped them.
They were all ready to do it. Why? Because the doctor on the phone said so. What happened to common sense in medical training? |

 In the Nurses' Health Study, in which investigators observed the incidence of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes among 117,629 female nurses over a twenty-year period, the study researchers found that women who eventually developed type 2 diabetes had a fourfold greater risk of having a heart attack and a twofold greater risk of stroke than women who did not develop diabetes. As you now know, the culprit behind these complications is insulin resistance fueled by glycation/dietary glycotoxins, and oxidative stress. |

 Women taking estrogen alone had a 36 percent increase in their risk of breast cancer; those on estrogen plus progestin had a 50 percent increase; those on progestins alone had a 240 percent increase—although this number may be misleading because the number of women on only progestins was very small. The Nurses' Health Study also was able to report on duration of use. For women who had been taking estrogen and progestin for five to ten years, there was a 46 percent increase in their risk of breast cancer. |

 In fact, in the Nurses' Health Study, the risk of stones was decreased by 8 to 10 percent for each 8 ounce serving of coffee (caffeinated and decaffeinated) per day.
Putting increase of urinary calcium aside for the moment, a British Medical Journal study in 2002 suggested that animal protein may increase the urinary excretion of oxalate, and that's something we definitely don't want. Animal protein will also likely increase the risk of uric acid stones. |
| The Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study are two of the most respected, long-range studies of health ever done. More than 170,000 health professionals were followed in these studies for between twelve years (men) and eighteen years (women). As part of these studies, more than 125,000 participants with no history of the big three—diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cancer—were investigated specifically for the purpose of examining risk factors for type 2 diabetes. |

 Now, here he was, walking around the ward, chatting happily with the
31 nurses, and spreading his message of good cheer to any who would listen. Immediately I hastened to see the others who had received their first injection at the same time. No change, or change for the worse was noted. Only in Mr. Wright was there brilliant improvement. The tumor masses had melted like snow balls on a hot stove, and in only these few days, they were half their original size!

| Nurses pop into patients' rooms and demand, "Tell me about Dr. Siegel." People whose tumors mysteriously shrink prior to chemotherapy don't credit their own efforts at, say, positive visualizations, but instead exclaim, "It must be that shiny-headed doctor."80
Others were critical for more basic reasons: at least one standard randomized trial had suggested that in fact all these efforts to cure cancer through an honest reckoning of the repressed issues in one's life made no difference. |

 He provided her with the equivalent care of four nurses, around the clock. No wonder he was totally exhausted and looking ill.
Because very chronic deteriorated arthritis cases generally did not do well, Dr Hoffer offered little hope for recovery. But this patient persisted: "I know that you cannot help my arthritis, but the pain in my back is terrible. All I want is some relief from it." She was started on a vitamin program, with niacin as the main constituent. This patient returned a month later in her wheelchair, again being pushed by her husband. |
| This was possible for six of them because they were married to nurses who helped maintain the practice. Dr Hoffer has treated three physicians who were schizophrenic. They all recovered and changed the focus of their practices to become orthomolecular doctors.
Lack of adequate treatment also fails to prevent the criminal behavior of a few patients whose illness is not managed in time. Many years ago a study in England of 200 convicted murderers demonstrated that the majority were schizophrenic. |

 These services were provided variously by psychiatrists, nurses, vocational counselors, even sociologists. Harding tracked down all but seven of the original 269 patients in the 1980s, an average of thirty years after they were admitted to the hospital. She thought she knew what she was going to find. "My clinical assessors and I were quite skeptical about finding any kind of recovery, because we'd all been trained in the old model. As a former psychiatric nurse on an inpatient unit, it sure didn't look to me that anyone could get better." She was stunned. |
| Allergy and asthma drugs are the most common, but psychiatric agents are so prevalent that "nurses who dispense them no longer try to avoid stigma by pretending they are vitamins." There's even a company, CampMeds, which prepackages an entire summer's worth of medications for campers in shrink-wrapped packets.88
So common are the drugs for children and adults that in 2003 an article appeared in Time about a nationwide survey showing that "U.S. |
