Don't confuse science with medicine, as they are very different things. When you read this book, you will realise that you have been lied to and deceived by organisations that claim they are looking after your best interests. These organisations include the drug and food companies with billions of dollars worth of vested interests in selling products, or the media, public advocacy groups and foundations funded by these big companies and even governments who give in to pressure from large, rich and influential lobbying groups. Since we began following the advice of these organisations, we have been getting sicker and sicker, which has cost us dearly and caused a great deal of needless suffering. We take more prescribed drugs than at any time in history and have higher disease-related death rates than ever before. When there are large sums of money involved, corruption occurs at all levels. In this book you will find a good dose of common sense and wisdom backed up by nearly a thousand scientific references. Amongst many things you will learn is why top-selling drugs to lower cholesterol or depression--as well as margarine, milk and nutritional advice from the government during the past 40 years--are not good for you and why cholesterol, animal fat, butter and salt are not bad for you. You will discover why supplementation and questioning all the information you get is good for you. Finally you will understand why it is so hard to get correct and honest information including, as a stunning example of this, Dr Dingle's own personal story of persecution for telling the truth.

It can be dangerous to navigate the world of health advice in the information age we live in, where truth and fiction frequently blend together. There are many different types of medical myths, ranging from anecdotal stories passed down through the generations to viral misinformation propagated through social media platforms. These myths can have serious effects on both public health and individual health. Fundamentally, medical myths are theories or methods that have either been refuted by thorough research or have not been supported by science. These myths endure despite their disbelief and have the power to affect people's actions, choices, and even medical interventions. Medical myths may be the result of intentional disinformation, cultural traditions, or misconceptions. Either way, they can seriously endanger people's health and jeopardize public health initiatives. One of the most widespread misconceptions is the idea that "natural remedies are always safe." Although natural products have advantages, assuming their safety without conducting adequate research can have negative consequences. Another dangerous myth that is often spread is the idea that "you don't need vaccinations if you're healthy." Vaccinations are crucial for protecting vulnerable populations and preventing infectious diseases.

If You Want to See the Evils of Big Pharma Exposed, Keep Reading! Imagine the following scenario - you've been suffering from migraines ever since the age of 12. They intensify into your adulthood. You go to your doctor who refers you to a neurologist. He doesn't find anything wrong. You're referred to a cardiologist and an eye doctor. You have an MRI scan. You also visit a psychiatrist who declares you suffer from some kind of phobia and puts you on heavy medications. These make you feel blurry and they simply mask the problem. So you're now stuck with an inexplicable headache and a medication that has far more side effects than benefits. This is a real-life, everyday scenario that so many patients go through because they hold blind trust in the medical establishment. After all, doctors are supposed to help us and make us feel better, right? When putting blind trust in doctors, however, we often forget to trust our own bodies and we disregard the signals they're sending our way. With all of the available information, it's easy to start questioning your doctor to ensure correct treatment. Treatments are often wrong or anything but personalized. There are several reasons why: Doctors are human and they make mistakes Medical professionals are often paid or stimulated in other ways to push one type of medicine or another Medical negligence and malpractice are real things - in the US alone, 250,000 people die each year from medical errors or negligence The medical industry is often run by greed and not the patient's best interest Organizational and staffing issues in medical facilities also contribute to problems It's time you take charge of your own health. You can stand against human errors, corruption, medical industry trends and fads that could be killing you or the people you love. Blind Trust in Doctors and Why It's Killing You will open your eyes and show you the main reasons why you need to be in complete control of the medical decisions that concern your wellbeing. The book will highlight essentials like: The power of Big Pharma - why Americans spend more than 3.34 billion dollars on prescription drugs per year Why we have been turned into clients rather than patients who need treatment The lies and deceit behind diets and weight loss programs The opioid crisis - commonly prescribed, these drugs kill 47,000 people per year Big lies about food, about exercise, about wellbeing - you'll find out why you should never go for the low-fat option The number one reason why cholesterol isn't the enemy Best ways to naturally lower your cancer risk Top 13 cancer-causing foods that you are still eating Antibiotics: over-prescribed and often ineffective And much more! The book will teach you how to control some of the most prominent health risks in natural, sustainable ways. If you're already questioning the medical establishment and you're looking for alternatives to drugs that often address the symptoms rather than the disease, this book is for you. A small lifestyle adjustment can produce a large ripple effect as far as wellbeing goes. Being in charge doesn't have to be expensive, difficult and it definitely doesn't need to come with nasty side effects. The medical industry could be killing you and it's time to regain control right now. If you want to be 100% in charge of your health, scroll up and click the "Add to Cart" button now.

How can a God of love also be a God of judgment? If God loves everyone, what is the point of judgment? Does God change from being wrathful in the Old Testament to loving in the New Testament? Can we discern God's judgments in current events, such as hurricanes and personal tragedies? Is it ever right for humans to judge? These are not just daunting issues for theologians to ponder. They are urgent questions for everyone. Our answers profoundly affect how we relate to God and how we live with one another. Coming to grips with these issues is vital for our spiritual journeys. Many people today emphasize God's love and downplay his judgment. The problem with this approach is that God's judgment is taught in Scripture from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation, and it is a core part of the gospel preached by Jesus and his apostles. There are problems at the other end of the spectrum too, when we believe in a God of judgment who is not also a God of love. It is impossible for us to find spiritual peace when we live in constant dread of God pictured as a harsh judge whom we can never please. This book calls us to embrace a more full, biblical image of God---one that joins his love and judgment together. Additionally, the book shows that, as those who are made in God's image, we can fuse love and judgment together constructively in our own daily lives. "To a world of smiley-faced bumper stickers assuring us that God is love, Stephen Moroney bravely asks: What do we do with the judgment, justice, and wrath of God, all occurring in rather impressive numbers throughout scripture? His well crafted and engaging answer is that we do a disservice to God as well as to ourselves when we try to have one---either a God of love or a God of judgment---without the other."

Clinical Governance is integral to healthcare and all doctors must have an understanding of both basic principles, and how to apply them in daily practice. Within the Clinical Governance framework, patient safety is the top priority for all healthcare organisations, with the prevention of avoidable harm a key goal. Traditionally medical training has concentrated on the acquisition of knowledge and skills related to diagnostic intervention and therapeutic procedures. The need to focus on non-technical aspects of clinical practice, including communication and team working, is now evident; ensuring tomorrow's staff are competent to function effectively in any healthcare facility. This book provides a guide to how healthcare systems work; their structure, regulation and inspection, and key areas including risk management, resource effectiveness and wider aspects of knowledge management. Changing curricula at undergraduate level reflect this, but post-graduate training is lagging behind and does not always equip trainees appropriately for a hectic clinical environment. An Introduction to Clinical Governance and Patient Safety presents a simple overview of clinical governance in context, highlighting important principles required to function effectively in a pressurised healthcare environment. It is presented in short sections based on the original seven pillars of clinical governance. These have been expanded to include the fundamental principles of systems, team working, leadership, accountability, and ownership in healthcare, with examples from everyday practice. This format is designed to facilitate use as a 'pocket guide' which can be dipped into during the working day, as well as for general reading. Examples from all branches of medicine are presented to facilitate understanding. Contributors are taken from a broad base - from junior doctors to internationally recognised experts - ensuring issues are addressed from all perspectives.
