EMAIL A FRIEND In 1995, Dr. Richard Besser, of the Center for Disease Control, revealed that the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections alone was 20 million. Uh-hem...folks, viral infections (viruses) are not affected at all by antibiotics, so taking antibiotics would do the body absolutely no good whatsoever. While the US spends more than any other nation on healthcare, they are in now way leading the way in healthy people. And while poor diet is a huge factor, there are other problems. In fact, the American medical system is the very leading cause of both death and injury in the United States. Lets take a look at the dangers of hospitals alone.
How safe are our hospitals?
In the past century, modern medicine has made great advancements. There has been incredible advancements in the instruments and knowledge available to medical doctors. There is more knowledge related to the human body, DNA (with the human genome project), cells (with microscope advancements), and nutrition (with knowledge such as fatty acids, the B vitamin recently, and now the new class of nutrients known as ). However, even with all of this, people still get sick, and still end up going to the hospital. So, besides costing lots of money, what is wrong with going to the hospital? Design by:WWW.ADMIN82.CN
Think about it; when youre sick, where do you go? To the hospital, right?. But who ELSE is at the hospital? OTHER sick people. There are many diseases there at the hospital. Getting in and out of the waiting room alone without catching a cold or some other bacteria, would be like trying to get through pacman without getting caught by the little monsters. Just the hospital door alone, would get touched by people all day long with all kinds of bacteria and viruses. There are germs in the air that you breathe, the pen that you use to fill out the forms, and the seat that you sit in in the waiting room, and the magazine that you read while sitting there.
Just because the examining room is white... doesn't mean that it is much better.
Does the doctor or nurse change clothes between each patient? No. In the emergency room, many rooms are separated by curtains. Do you brush against them as you walk in or out? When was the last time that those curtains were cleaned? How about the examining table? Most facilities only change the paper that covers the examining table. Do the sides and surfaces even get wiped down with disinfectant? Probably not.

Hospitals are way overcrowded these days, so patients being seen in waiting areas. Combine that with the nursing and staff shortages and you can see how easily cleanliness can fall to the wayside a bit as immediate patient care is more important. Many hospitals have to move patients through just as fast as possible, without enough time or staff to be able to really give surfaces much more than a quick wipe.
So what can you do to protect yourself?
First off, try to decrease your frequency of visits to the hospital. Only go when you have emergencies. For example, you can use your own personal doctor or the after hours clinic. Sometimes, though, you just have to go to the emergency room. Avoiding times when there is more traffic, can be beneficial. Try to avoid Mondays and evenings and weekends when they are the most busy. Bring hand sanitizer with you when you go, and wash your hands often. Be proactive and smart and you will have less of a chance of returning with more illnesses than you had when you walked into the hospital. Make sure that you eat a healthy diet in order to strengthen your immune system as well. Glyconutrients supplements have really shown to boost the immune system and help the body to fight bacterial infections. Getting the right glyconutrients products could really make the difference.
