The Connection between Prescriptions and Nursing Homes

Overmedication, Medical Errors and Medical System!Ramona Lamascola thought she was losing her 88-year-old mother to dementia. Instead, she was losing her to overmedication. The use of antipsychotic drugs to tamp down the agitation, combative behavior and outbursts of dementia patients has soared, especially in the elderly.

Many doctors say misuse of the drugs is widespread. And there's a lot of abuse going on in a lot of these places. Many physicians are absent without leave in the nursing home and don't take an active role in the assessment of the patient.

Body Energy Systems and CFS/Fibromyalgia
2008-06-22 03:51:00
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, CFS/Fibromyalgia Patients and Body's Internal Ecology!The job of mitochondria is to get the energy contained inside foods (sugars and fats) and convert it into a form the body can use. The NAD and ATP molecules are the 'currency' of energy in the body. Almost all energy requiring processes in the body have to be paid for with NAD and ATP, but largely ATP. The reserves of ATP in cells are very small. If the cell is not very efficient at re-cycling ATP, then the cell runs out of energy very quickly and this causes the symptoms of weakness and poor stamina. Energy is produced when ATP (three phosphates) is converted into ADP (two phosphates). ADP is then re-cycled back through mitochondria to create more ATP for future energy production. However, if the cell is push...
