Did you know that the risk of being sued for malpractice has very little to do with how many mistakes a doctor makes?

Methadone is a synthetic opioid most commonly prescribed for patients who are being treated for an addiction to narcotic painkillers, as a treatment for coughing, and as a treatment to get people off of heroin.

In the elderly, infections are a common cause of delirium and other psychiatric symptoms. Just think about the inflammation process involved, where there is such a huge response to an assault that the elderly even become temporarily “crazy”.

When you are aiding in the healing process of a person, it is essential to have a handle on basic psychology, even if it is by self-education. It can be quite dehumanizing to focus on a medical career from the pathological-body point of view. For instance, consider a person that has been severely injured after a car accident. ...

Our water supply is contaminated by numerous chemicals from old forgotten underground storage tanks, leaking waste sites, manufacturing byproducts, vehicle exhaust, coal burning power plants, etc.
One example, trichloroethylene (TCE), once contaminated the underground water supply of a whole town after an ammunition factory site was bulldozed there decades earlier. The TCE contamination was responsible for an epidemic of leukemia in children. I am distressed to inform you that most water supplies in the United States ...

Omega-3 fatty acids are extremely helpful in preventing heart disease and cancer. They are also essential to the healthy functioning of the body and brain. These friendly acids include eicosapentaenoic (EPA), and docosahexainoic (DHA) acids and are necessary for growth and overall health of blood vessels and nerves. They also help heal inflammation and promote numerous cellular activities. Researchers found that the cell membranes of heart cells store omega 3 from fish oil, preventing irregular rhythms. ...
