Something To Think About
============================
Addicted Doctors Are
Allowed to Practice
Dec 19, 2007
By MARCUS WOHLSEN
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Troubling cases in which doctors were accused of
botching operations while undergoing treatment for drugs or alcohol have
led to criticism of rehab programs that allow thousands of U.S.
physicians to keep their addictions hidden from their patients.
Nearly all states have confidential rehab programs that let doctors
continue practicing as long as they stick with the treatment regimen.
Nationwide, as many as 8,000 doctors may be in such programs, by one
estimate.
These arrangements largely escaped public scrutiny until last summer,
when California's medical board outraged physicians across the country
by abolishing its 27-year-old program. A review concluded that the
system failed to protect patients or help addicted doctors get better.
Opponents of such programs say the medical establishment uses
confidential treatment to protect dangerous physicians.
"Patients have no way to protect themselves from these doctors," said
Julie Fellmeth, who heads the University of San Diego's Center for
Public Interest Law and led the opposition to California's so-called
diversion program.
Most addiction specialists favor allowing doctors to continue practicing
while in confidential treatment, as does the American Medical
Association.
Supporters of such programs say that cases in which patients are harmed
by doctors in treatment are extremely rare, and would pale next to the
havoc that could result if physicians had no such option.
"If you don't have confidential participation, you don't get people into
the program," said Sandra Bressler, the California Medical Association's
senior director for medical board affairs.
California's program ends June 30. If no alternative program is adopted,
the rules could revert back to the zero-tolerance policy in place before
1980, when doctors who were found by the medical board to have drug or
alcohol problems were immediately stripped of their licenses.
No other state has followed California's lead. But the president of
California's medical board, Dr. Richard Fantozzi, said that behind the
scenes, regulators nationwide share his ambivalence toward such
programs.
"To hide something from consumers, something so blatant ... it's
unconscionable today," Fantozzi said.
Between 10 percent and 15 percent of physicians nationwide will have a
substance abuse problem at some point in their lives, a rate similar to
that of the general population, according to widespread estimates. An
estimated 7,500 to 8,000 practicing doctors are probably in confidential
treatment, or about 1 percent of all physicians practicing in the U.S.,
said Dr. Greg Skipper, head of Alabama's program and a leader of an
upcoming study on the issue.
Opponents of such programs are unable to cite any documented cases in
which doctors who were confidentially undergoing treatment botched
operations while drunk or high. But they say the very secrecy of the
programs makes it hard to assess the risks.
Nevertheless, some doctors have been accused of harming patients while
they were in treatment.
In Montana, a patient accused a doctor enrolled in the state's treatment
program of not following up on her abnormal test results, delaying her
cancer diagnosis by more than a year. Montana revoked Dr. Robert
Schure's license last year after he flunked out of treatment six times
since 1994, according to board documents. The patient's suit was settled
for an undisclosed sum.
A North Carolina surgeon enrolled in the state's program for alcoholism
charged patients for one type of gastric bypass and then performed a
shortcut procedure that led to serious complications, including stomach
ulcers and vomiting, according to patients and a medical board
investigation.
It wasn't until Dr. Steven Olchowski lost his license in 2005, years
after many of the incidents occurred, that his participation in North
Carolina's program became publicly known.
Opponents of California's program have focused on the case of Dr. Brian
West, a Long Beach plastic surgeon who has been accused of negligence by
the state medical board and is fighting to keep his license.
In 1999, West performed a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction
surgery on Becky Anderson. The procedure left her with gaping, infected
wounds that wouldn't close and, ultimately, a grotesque lump the size of
a melon caused by organs spilling through an unhealed hole in her
abdomen.
Weeks before performing his final, futile procedure on her, West was
arrested for a drunken-driving accident.
After his conviction, West entered the diversion program for alcoholism.
A year later he performed a tummy tuck on a 37-year-old woman that also
healed poorly.
West ultimately flunked out of the treatment program after investigators
uncovered a pattern of relapses, binge drinking and doctored urine tests
that "demonstrate that he is a physician who has been long and
chronically impaired by alcohol," according to a 2005 medical board
complaint.
West's supporters say he has been made a scapegoat, asserting that he is
not to blame for his patients' complications and that the severity of
his drinking problem has been exaggerated by investigators. "I have no
information from any of my investigations that Dr. West has ever cared
for patients while under the influence of alcohol," said his attorney,
Dominique Pollara.
West admitted no fault in settling Anderson's malpractice lawsuit for
$250,000, Pollara said. The tummy-tuck patient lost her malpractice
case.
Without the assurance of confidentiality, some say, addicted doctors
will go underground and continue to practice without getting any
treatment at all.
Jim Conway, a Venice, Calif., drug and alcohol counselor, said that
before confidential treatment programs, doctors would do whatever they
could to hide their addiction for fear they would lose their licenses.
At a Pomona hospital where Conway worked, an alcoholic obstetrician came
to work and delivered a baby while "dead drunk," he said. In the
process, the doctor severed the newborn's spine.
"And that's how it will be if they just do a punitive approach," Conway
said.
Dr. Jason Giles, a Malibu physician, completed California's program in
2004 after five years in treatment for alcoholism and addiction to
prescription drugs.
"I was never intoxicated taking care of patients. It didn't get to that
- but would have if I didn't avail myself of that rope dropped from the
helicopter," he said.
His experience in rehab was so transformative, he said, that he quit
practicing anesthesiology and opened the drug treatment center he now
runs.
Giles said allowing physicians to continue to practice while in
rehabilitation is crucial to the success of the treatment.
"Working actually helps them get better," he said.
LENA'S
COMMENT: Having been responsible for a couple of doctor's losing their
license to practice medicine but only one of those could I prove an addict. With the second one not so clear as I had no tangible
proof of addiction, only proof that he wrote prescriptions for other
addicts, which lost him his license to practice, so I'm fully aware that
addiction in doctor's exists and hopefully
you aren't, nor have been victim of such a doctor. Chances are you wouldn't
know it... So check out your doctor well before listening to
him or her!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================
The
Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences
found; When older people with a conservative lifestyle forget something,
friends and family assume that the memory loss is due to mental
deterioration. But when older people who practice a younger lifestyle
and do not act old and forget the same things, friends and family don't
take it too seriously. They just assume the older people aren't paying
attention.

Conventional Prostate Treatment Is Worse Than the Disease!
Don't
sign that surgical consent form without trying a healthy
treatment!
If you
have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) you doctor will
probably want to schedule a surgical procedure called
trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP). If you have
elevated PSA (prostate specific antigen) you will probably
be talked into a needle biopsy for cancer.
Don't
sign that consent form until you have all the information
needed to make an informed consent!
Dr.
John Weinburg of the Dartmouth Medical School says,
over 32,000 American men are
hospitalized with complications AFTER the TURP surgery.
20,000 become impotent AFTER the TURP. 80,000
will need a second surgery AFTER the TURP and
7,000 men actually die on the
operating table DURING a TURP surgery!
All
the while studies have shown that needle biopsies may
actually contribute to the SPREAD OF CANCER cells previously
confined to the prostate. The least you might expect is a
chronic infection following the needle biopsy.
Even
though the ads for Proscar and Hytrin tell you they work,
truth is they don't work as well as they try to convince you
they do. In fact, the majority of studies on Proscar have
shown NO IMPROVEMENT among the users. The drug side effects
are, impotence, liver damage and men who take Proscar can't
engage in sex with a woman who wishes to have children,
since any second-hand exposure to this drug can easily cause
birth defects. You say well only old men need to take it
anyway. WRONG, BPH has fast become prevalent in the 30
something group of men!
Did
anyone tell you that 90% of men have some prostate cancer
before reaching age 80? Well it isn't totally important and
most all of them die from other causes not prostate cancer!
Watching and waiting is handed out by a lot of natural
health practitioners and that's okay but why wait when
something exists that can clear up the problem?
Why watch and wait when there a
supplement that will reduce swelling, growths, etc. and give
you back your sexual desires?

Thousands Have Gotten Sick
from Gardasil HPV Vaccine
Gardasil, the cervical cancer vaccine recommended for girls as
young as 12 years old, is causing side effects ranging from seizures and
numbness to dizzy spells, fainting and paralysis.
More than 17 girls a week in Australia have experienced such reactions after
receiving the vaccination, but the country's Department of Health and Aging
refuses to release their details.
Further, as of November 30, 2007, 496 adverse reaction reports were filed with
Australia's Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA). Of them, 468 had the cervical
cancer vaccine as the sole suspected cause.
In the United States, up to 1,700 women have reported adverse reactions from
Gardasil, including at least seven deaths.
To date, more than 10 million doses of Gardasil have been distributed worldwide.
TGA noted that the safety of Gardasil was being monitored by officials in
Australia and overseas, and that the adverse reactions are consistent with those
expected from any vaccine.

Does
Salt-free Diets or Products Prevent High Blood Pressure?
©
By Lena Sanchez
Hypertensive (high blood pressure) people are being told
to stop salt intake under the assumption that will cure the
sodium problem. Is that a smart move? NO!
In past societies salt was valuable for its health properties
but that was before modern processing.
Salt was used as currency during the Roman rule. Roman soldiers
were paid in salt. The Latin word sal is the root for the
English word salary. Based on this, I'm sure you have heard the
familiar phrase that a person is "worth their salt", meaning
worth the wages they receive.
Real non-chemicalized salt intake is absolutely necessary to our
survival.
Our medical world continues telling people that their
blood pressure problem can be eliminated by using salt
substitutes. An eight-year study of a New York City's
hypertensive population found those on low-salt diets had more
than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal-sodium
diets ? the exact opposite of what the ?salt hypothesis?
predicted. (1995) What they didn't study was the salt
substitutes and how they fit into the equation! Hence we don't
have the complete picture.
Our regular table salt no longer has anything in common with the
original crystal salt. Salt these days is mainly sodium chloride
and not salt. The common commercial table salt used by most
people for cooking has only 2 or 3 chemical elements. Old
world salt had 84 chemical elements.
Our body requires those 84 elements for total health. A healthy
body's blood plasma should consist of those very same 84
elements identical to seawater, but is found missing in
seriously ill and about to be ill people...
Common table salt consumed by most is deficit of 81 elements and
containing byproducts from the processing, which means we are
somehow contributing to becoming weaker, imbalanced and more
susceptible to diseases.
Table salt produced by the early pioneers was of excellent
quality and full of those 84 elements, but man looked for
something more convenient and convenience tends to mean
processing everything out that is good for us!
Kosher salt is an additive-free coarse grained salt, used by
Jews in the preparation of meat. It is also used by gourmet
cooks who prefer its texture and flavor.
While most salts start out as salt, they don't always end up
that way. Normal table salt begins as a saline solution. Then
after processing and kiln drying at temperatures in excess of
400 degrees, its natural state is changed and nearly all trace
minerals are lost. Then chemicals are added like Silico
Aluminate, Potassium Iodide, Tri-calcium Phosphate, Magnesium
Carbonate, Sodium bicarbonate, and yellow prussiate of soda just
to name a few. These are added to bleach the salt, prevent
caking, and aid in free-flowing so your salt will flow free even
on rainy days. But what are they doing to your body?
The funny thing is that the Food & Drug Administration usually
lets companies leave their processing aides off of their
ingredient lists, as long as the material is being used in a
small-enough concentration.
Did you know that two of the inorganic chemicals used in
processing salt is also used to make many consumer related
products, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic?
The other additives are anti-caking agents such as calcium
silicate, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and other
compounds. They are insoluble in water, which not only prevents
them from forming clumps in humid environments - thus keeping
the soluble crystals of sodium chloride separate, but also
explains why water becomes slightly cloudy when salt with these
additives is dissolved in it. These are all odorless and
flavorless substances and contribute nothing to our body but
what do they do once inside our body? We can only guess as
studies have not been done to tell us?
Are salt substitutes better? Salt substitutes are supposed to
be free of sodium but are they?
Some are and some aren't but all have potassium chloride, which
is dangerous to the very ones who seem to be consuming it for
health reasons. Salt free diets are usually recommended to those
who have hypertension and/or heart problems. Making this
dangerous to the very ones who are taking heart and hypertension
medications in conjunction with the salt substitute.
Listed below are the top salt substitutes and the amounts of
potassium and sodium in each.
*No Salt -- 1/4 tsp.: 650 mg. Potassium/0 mg. sodium
*Morton's Lite Salt -- 1/4 tsp.: 350 mg. Potassium/290 mg.
sodium
*Morton's Salt Substitute -- 1/4 tsp.: 610 mg. Potassium/
0 mg. sodium
*Cardia Salt Alternative -- 1/4 tsp.: 180 mg. Potassium/
270 mg. Sodium
As you can see Potassium chloride is a common ingredient in salt
substitutes. Too much potassium can be harmful if you have
kidney problems or you're taking certain medications to treat
high blood pressure or heart problems. Potassium-sparing
diuretic drugs causes your body to retain potassium. Just about
every person with hypertension or certain heart diseases is
given a diuretic drug! If you take a potassium-sparing diuretic
and use a salt substitute containing potassium your life could
be in danger. Too much potassium build up in your body is
potentially life-threatening by creating kidney failure and/or
heart rhythm disturbances and possible death.
If you wish to use a salt substitute then make your own!
Salt Substitute Recipe
I recommend and use sea salt, no aluminum or contaminants as it
is simply salt, dried and ground just as it comes from the sea.
Same flavor results in your taste buds but without the
contaminates from the extraction process as in regular salt.
Be healthy and wise at the same time.

FDA PLOTS TO DISSOLVE
LABELING REQUIREMENT FOR IRRADIATED FOODS
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has decided to relax its stance on food labeling to
allow some foods which have been irradiated to be labeled as
"pasteurized" instead. The proposed rule changes would allow
companies to label food as pasteurized when the treatment of
irradiation doesn't cause any material change in the product
or any material change in the consequences that may arise
from ingesting the product. This could include changes to
the texture, smell, taste, and shelf life; as well as the
nutritional, organic or functional properties of food.
