Book excerpt: Killer Cure will change forever how you think about your health and health care. Leaving conventional wisdom in the dust, Killer Cure reveals startling and unforgettable insights: -Why health care in America accidentally kills 12,000 people each week -- even though every doctor and nurse you know is terrific -Why health care's hidden assumptions about you are almost certain to damage your health -- and what you can do about it -Why health care's focus on solving yesterday's problems may reduce life expectancy in the U.S. -- by as much as five years -Why you might want to become CEO of your own health and health care -- and how to go about it The root cause of America's health care crisis is that health care is not about you. Health care is not designed to help you enjoy good health. It is designed to help doctors take action: write prescriptions, perform surgery, etc. That focus hurts you in two ways: -First, those actions are likely to damage you nearly as often as they help you because of side effects, complications, and other problems with care delivery. For example, hospital ICUs (Intensive Care Units) have a remarkable number of characteristics in common with prison camps for terrorist suspects. People die needless deaths as a result. -Second, the focus on actions the doctor takes crowds out actions you could take that would often get you better outcomes. For example, more than 100,000 people a year get a foot or leg amputated instead of learning simple ways to prevent foot infections in the first place. To get better results, the health care system first needs to embrace a new purpose: to enable people to lead the lives they want. Three further changes are necessary: -The first is a social revolution akin to freeing the slaves or granting women the right to vote. With this revolution, the health care system will no longer treat the people it serves as if they were second-class citizens whose intelligence, values, priorities, and needs can safely be ignored while others call the shots. -The second is more realistic expectations about what health care can deliver. -The third is management of health care as a process -- connecting the dots among actions that are uncoordinated today. Killer Cure provides a tool kit to help you safeguard your life until these changes take place. Before closing, the book makes surprising predictions concerning a future in which health care is about you. At the end of Killer Cure is a Readers' Discussion Guide. It is offered to aid you in thinking about and discussing both the book and your own health care experiences.

Download or read book Deadly Cure written by Lawrence Goldstone and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable new historical thriller by New York Times notable mystery author Lawrence Goldstone that evokes the New York City of 1899. In 1899, in Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Noah Whitestone is called urgently to his wealthy neighbor’s house to treat a five-year-old boy with a shocking set of symptoms. When the child dies suddenly later that night, Noah is accused by the boy’s regular physician—the powerful and politically connected Dr. Arnold Frias—of prescribing a lethal dose of laudanum. To prove his innocence, Noah must investigate the murder—for it must be murder—and confront the man whom he is convinced is the real killer. His investigation leads him to a reporter for a muckraking magazine and a beautiful radical editor who are convinced that a secret, experimental drug from Germany has caused the death of at least five local children, and possibly many more. Noah is drawn into a dangerous world of drugs, criminals, and politics, which threatens not just his career but also his life. Goldstone weaves a savvy tale of intrigue and stunning twists that incorporates real-life historical figures and events while richly recreating the closing days of the nineteenth century—a time when American might was on the march in the Pacific, medicine was poised to leap into a new era, radical politics threatened the status quo, and the role of women in American society was undergoing profound change.

Download or read book Novel Approach to Curing Cancer written by Jianqing Wu and published by Jianqing Wu. This book was released on 2019-08-11 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the authors make extensive comparison between medical treatments and health optimization methods (an improved mind-body model) in order to determine their relative and TRUE benefits for cancer patients. For the health optimization method, they examine its use history, acceptance, and performance throughout its history; and for medicine, they examine medical treatment history, leading cancer theories, standard of care formation, formation of legal frameworks, and overwhelming performance data we could find from the massive medical literature. We can show with irrefutable evidence why medicine cannot cure cancer and what role it is actually playing. The book (1) discloses a systematic methodology for curing cancer in confidence; (2) extensively discusses how to do right things to win a speed contest in fighting cancer; (3) extensively discusses how to do right things to control cancer cell population, a critical strategy for survival; (4) provides detailed analysis of fatal common mistakes that have taken nine of ten cancer patient lives; (5) exposes flaws in the cancer treatment models, medical research model, the foundation of medicine; and (6) conduct a detailed analysis of four killer factors which are routinely found in nearly all cancer care. The approach used to similar to one used in Health Optimization Engineering, a new branch of health art. The book teaches the decisive roles of SPEED, NUMBER and MULTIPLE FACTORS and how to fight cancer by using a two-way optimization methodology. Those three terms and optimization method are not mentioned in medical books, cancer research articles, and are not part of the language used in hospitals. Our simulation and our kinetic studies show that both cancer development and reversal processes would take many years. The rates of reversals for cancer and all chronic diseases are so slow that medicine cannot accurately evaluate. This is why medicine cannot recognize or refuses to acknowledge any cure that requires half a year to several years to accomplish. The approach we use in this book is directly in conflict with three core concepts in medicine: dualism, reductionism, and population-based approach. Moreover, we found that medical treatments can partially neutralize and totally nullify the curative benefits of our optimization method. Based on our own findings and the results from reanalyzing massive existing medical publications, we inevitably found that medical treatments are primarily responsible for creating the cancer panic and the treatments shorten lives in a super majority of cases. We try to analyze every issue in the most comprehensive way. Our analysis covers medical model and its legal framework, leading cancer theories, treatment development histories, formation of standard of care, control selections in drug trials, the massive cancer controversies, and mountains of actual performance data. The most convincing evidence is the performance verdicts by recent medical studies and latest meta reviews. We try to built a watertight case that precludes any of those arguments that have been made by proponents of the reductionist medical model.

Download or read book Killer Fat written by Natalie Boero and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-12 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade, obesity has emerged as a major public health concern in the United States and abroad. At the federal, state, and local level, policy makers have begun drafting a range of policies to fight a war against fat, including body-mass index (BMI) report cards, “snack taxes,” and laws to control how fast food companies market to children. As an epidemic, obesity threatens to weaken the health, economy, and might of the most powerful nation in the world. In Killer Fat, Natalie Boero examines how and why obesity emerged as a major public health concern and national obsession in recent years. Using primary sources and in-depth interviews, Boero enters the world of bariatric surgeries, Weight Watchers, and Overeaters Anonymous to show how common expectations of what bodies are supposed to look like help to determine what sorts of interventions and policies are considered urgent in containing this new kind of disease. Boero argues that obesity, like the traditional epidemics of biological contagion and mass death, now incites panic, a doomsday scenario that must be confronted in a struggle for social stability. The “war” on obesity, she concludes, is a form of social control. Killer Fat ultimately offers an alternate framing of the nation’s obesity problem based on the insights of the “Health at Every Size” movement.
