How nursing homes exploit their sickest residents

Dementia patients are being used as pawns in a highly profitable game of musical beds -- helping nursing homes to triple their revenues in a scam that you're just not going to believe.

Here's how it works: A dementia patient on his own, laying in a bed in a nursing home, will bring in $175 a day in Medicare payments.

That may sound like plenty -- $1225 for a single week -- but it's not the kind of money that earns big bonuses for nursing home executives at the end of the year, even in a joint with hundreds of these patients.

So they devise a reason to send the patient off to the hospital -- because when he gets back to the nursing home after that little trip, his value skyrockets.

Now, at least on paper, he needs "skilled care" in that nursing home -- so Medicare will pay TRIPLE the fees... even if it turns out that "skilled care" is exactly what the patient would have received if he had never left the nursing home in the first place. 

It sounds like something the Enron boys would have schemed up, and the similarities don't end there. It's Medicare, after all, and that means you're the one ultimately footing the bill.

You'll find all the details of this massive hoodwink in the latest New England Journal of Medicine, which finds that 19 percent of advanced dementia patients in nursing homes are sent off for dubious hospitalizations near the end of their lives -- with some being moved back and forth multiple times in the space of just a few months.

These patients are sent to the hospital for conditions that are routinely and easily treated by nursing homes all the time: pneumonia, infections, swallowing problems, and dehydration, just to name a few.

They should be getting that care from the relative comfort of a familiar face in a familiar place.

Instead, they're being exploited in the name of cold, hard cash.

Do not get vacinated - assess the risk

The growing army of the unvaccinated

It's become a legal and politically correct form of discrimination: Unvaccinated kids are being booted from schools, summer camps, and even doctor's offices.

They're trying to make you feel like some kind of fringe weirdo for refusing to pump your kid full of live viruses, mercury, formaldehyde, chicken eggs, DNA from aborted fetuses, and all the other junk used in those shots.

But you're not a weirdo -- and you're not even fringe: New numbers show that a full 10 percent of American families now refuse or delay common childhood vaccinations.

And that's just the beginning -- because the survey in Pediatrics finds that even parents who toe the party line are having big-time doubts over this whole vaccination thing.

Twenty-five percent of those who get every vaccination say they believe it would be safer to delay some of them -- and nearly 30 percent say they don't think there's any harm in skipping the least necessary shots.

I agree -- as long as by "least necessary" you mean ALL of them!

Here are the facts: Vaccinations haven't protected or "saved" children. They've actually compromised the powerful natural immunity of the human body, making people weaker and sicker in the long run.

The perfect example is chickenpox. Kids used to get it all the time in early childhood, when all it meant was a few days of itching and scratching -- and then they were done with it.

You probably remember that yourself.

Today, the chickenpox vaccine has practically eliminated it in those early years -- but vaccinated kids and adults alike are now getting it later in life instead, when it can be dangerous and even deadly.

That's just one shot -- the rest are no better, and many are far worse.

The Institute of Medicine recently admitted that common vaccines can cause seizures, brain inflammation, infection, body encephalitis, pneumonia, meningitis, hepatitis and more -- and this was in a statement in DEFENSE of vaccinations!

If anyone treats you like a fringe weirdo for opposing vaccinations, just show them that. That should shut 'em up.

Proudly on the fringe,

William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.

As predicted -the next round of what is good for you individual sin tax - welcome to the special police state

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to eat

One of the last freedoms you have left is the freedom to choose what's on your dinner plate tonight -- but get ready to stick a fork in that one.

The Food Police have taken over in Denmark -- and we could be next.

This week, Denmark is taking the Nanny State to the next level with an onerous new tax on the fresh and natural foods your body needs. Under this so-called "fat tax," anyone who wants foods with saturated fats will have to pay through the teeth for the privilege.

Farm-fresh butter? TAXED!

Cheese? TAXED!

Meat? TAXED!

Pretty soon, shoppers will be forced to load up on lower-priced substitutes made of factory-processed soy byproducts and a lab full of dangerous chemicals--all in the name of good health, of course.

This sin tax is meant to help slash the risk of an early death. Puh-lease. Studies have shown time and again that people who eat healthful natural animal fats and skip the sugars and other refined carbohydrates have a much LOWER risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and even early death.

If that's what passes for sin, then being bad never felt so good.

Denmark isn't the only one leveling the sin tax. Hungary has imposed a tax on foods with high levels of sugar, salt, carbs, and caffeine. Denmark, Switzerland, and Austria have banned trans fats. And Finland, Romania, and Britain are all considering fat taxes as well.

But I think everyone is missing the point here. Forget for a minute that the government has picked the wrong bad guy (sugar and carbs would have been a much more appropriate target), the bottom line is that no government has any right to legislate your food choices. Period.

Hold on to your rights, America, or you'll be next. If Uncle Sam is going to be footing the bill for your healthcare, He certainly thinks he has the right to determine how you eat (and sleep and drink and exercise and you-name-it).

Consider this your wake-up call. And go eat some butter--before it's too late.

Cellphone becomes medical image device

DAVIS, Calif. (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say they've transformed aniPhone into a high-quality medical imaging device that could transformmedicine in developing countries.

Using only inexpensive materials, researchers at the University ofCalifornia, Davis, have modified smartphones to perform detailedmicroscopy, a release from the Optical Society of America said Monday.

Kaiqin Chu, a postdoctoral researcher in optics, inserted a $40 balllens -- a finely ground glass sphere that acts as a low-poweredmagnifying glass -- into a hole in a rubber sheet, and then simplytaped the sheet over the smartphone's camera.

Paired with the phone's camera, the ball lens can resolve features onthe order of 1.5 microns, small enough to identify different types ofblood cells, researchers said.

The enhanced phones could help doctors and nurses diagnose blooddiseases in developing nations where many hospitals and rural clinicshave limited or no access to laboratory equipment -- and can send thereal-time data to colleagues around the globe for further analysis anddiagnosis -- the researchers said.

diabetes food for thought

The four great diabetes myths

The headline in Time magazine certainly caught my eye: "5 Ways to Avoid Diabetes -- Without Medications."

Some 80 million Americans are teetering on the brink of diabetes, ready to join the 20 million who already have the disease -- so if someone has a drug-free plan to help avoid this train wreck, I'm all ears.

Turns out I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up -- because the headline refers to a new study filled with the same tired advice that helped CAUSE the diabetes epidemic in the first place.

Of those "Five Ways," only one is on target: avoid obesity. But if you follow the other Four Ways, you're practically guaranteed to find yourself fat and facing disease -- not to mention a lifetime supply of medication.

So instead of the rest of the "Five Ways," I bring you the Four Great Myths perpetuated by the new study in The Annals of Internal Medicine:

Myth # 1: Eat a low-fat, high fiber diet. Millions of Americans already try to follow a low-fat, high-fiber diet. You know what we call them? Diabetics.

Myth # 2: Exercise. I'm all for healthy movements throughout the day -- but the research here is crystal clear. A furious exercise session at the end of the day won't lower your risk of chronic illness or an early death -- and it won't even help you to lose weight. Period.

Myth # 3: Quit smoking. A study last year, also in The Annals of Internal Medicine, found that smokers who quit have a 73 percent HIGHER risk of coming down with diabetes. Enough said.

Myth #4: Drink little to no booze. Teetotalers have a higher risk of diabetes than moderate boozers, and studies have reached that same conclusion over and over again. So drink up -- to your health!

Let me cut to the chase now, because you don't need five steps to avoid diabetes without medications -- these two will do just fine:

1) Skip sugar and most of the other carbs.
2) Eat plenty of fresh animal protein and fats.

That's it. And yes, it really is that easy. Doubt me? Try it! I dare you to prove me wrong.
