Medical professionals cover each other's asses as well as any other group around. There's a time for everything. ER is the place to be if you have an accident or acute illness needing immediate attention. For chronic conditions, help yourself to knowledge through the internet and alternative medical sources. Your best defense against being a victim of the medical mill is a good immune system, healthy diet and regular exercise. And if you must be hospitalized, bring along someone you trust completely to be your designated 'patient advocate'. They can 'take your back' when you are too ill or drugged to ask questions for yourself. |

Wound Healing A "Sweet" secret of healing open wounds or ulcerations (in diabetics or bed sores) is to dress the wound with regular granulated white sugar or honey. Sugar creates an environment where bacteria cannot thrive. This method has been used extensively in India. Today, with all of the emerging anti-biotic resistant bacteria such as MRSA, utilizing these "old-fashioned" but effective methods could be a solution to healing stubborn open wounds in diabetics or in bed-ridden patients suffering from bed sores. Simply isolate the open wound area with strips of gauze bandage coated in vasoline petroleum jelly, then pour 1/4 inch of sugar right on the wound and cover it with a gauze bandage. Clean the wound every 2 days and repeat the procedure until healed. The same method can be followed using Honey. A good brand of honey to consider is called Manuka Honey, available in many health food stores. We used this on my mother back in 1994 in Vancouver General Hospital. Worked like a charm. The Medical Mafia could have strangled us for daring to bring plain, ordinary table sugar into THEIR hospital!! And to think Christopher Reeves NEEDLESSLY lied from a fuckin bedsore that could have been cured with the simple use of sugar. |

I spent all day at the hospital on Monday waiting for my daughter-in-law to give birth. I started to get a little hungry and went to the cafeteria to find something to munch on. I couldn't find one thing that I would eat. Not even a freaking piece of fruit! They had chips, nachos, pastries, pudding with white sugar, grilled cheese on white bread, french fries, soda pops, ice cream and other various types of junk food. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 588417I hear you. When my son was in isolation (meningitis, formerally known as polio), I walked into his room and saw a sandwich made with white bread and extra margarine on his tray. I hit the roof!!! I made it very clear that never, ever, was I to see white bread or margarine on his tray again. According to my son, the rest of his meals included brown bread and butter. It's said that anyone who remains in a hospital for more than 3 weeks, and eats only hospital food, begins to show signs of malnutrition. Easy to understand why!! |

And to think Christopher Reeves NEEDLESSLY lied from a fuckin bedsore that could have been cured with the simple use of sugar. Don't know about sugar, but from personal experience I do know the honey really, really works. I used our organic honey to help heal the open sores for a close relative that was dying of dermatamyositis, a rare and horrible disease. Her skin would tear from almost anything (it was like tissue paper thin) and she was suffering from open wounds all over in addition to all the other pain from terminal cancer(cancer that showed up on the tests two years earlier but the radiologist missed some hundreds of tumors on the test results, oh yeah, they are certainly not infallible). It's somewhat messy and you have to be careful of the honey drying on the bandage and then pulling off the healing tissue when changed. We solved this problem by using special bandages that were immersed in sterile mineral oil before bandaging the wound dressed with honey. Her skin was so thin, the pain patches would tear off skin when removed. Solved this by applying mineral oil to the patch, then carefully peeling it away with as much oil as needed to break down the adhesive. Peanut oil massages helped with the skin itching that came from her medications. Massage of feet and legs helped remove retained water, so much that a towel under her would be soaked with water after the massage and her legs were visibly less puffy. Hospice nurses were all in favor of this treatment, actually were quite interested in the honey as a natural antibiotic for the wounds. Sorry to ramble on but there is so much that can be done with natural and alternative remedies to alleviate suffering, it is pathetic to see people still in misery when their doctors 'have done all they can do'. |

It is amazing what matters to someone on their way out of this life. peace and good health to all, loco |

They almost always shut down various liver functions to maybe make you feel more comfortable, while creating side-effects that are usually worse than the initial symptom. All this while picking the victim's pocketbook clean. Nice! |
