New Concept- Hospitals Using Nutrition for Wellness?

Wouldn't it be awesome if a hospital had to actually use proper nutrition? Remember when the Results Project rolled out the Lorrie Saunders, Administrative Notice to doctors regarding "Drug-Induced, Nutrient-Depletions" and their side-effects? Well it looks as if their first 'Administrative Notice' just might have saved the life of Toni's 65 year old dad Bill.

Bill is 65, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, eats right and exercises everyday and rides his bike 10 miles for fun. Bill gets a pain in his chest and goes to the hospital. Bill walked in the door under his own power. They hook Bill up to an IV and proceed to pump 16 drugs into his system. Bill gets delusional and starts to hallucinate. Then he passes out and they send him to the Intensive Care Unit. The family is called and told Bill is going to die! Toni calls the Results Project who puts in an order to Lorrie Saunders at Optimal Health Associates for an Administrative Notice to be sent to the hospital. Toni is put on the phone with one of the doctors at PROCARE4U who explains nutrition to Bill's doctor, who isn't really moved by the call. Then the notice hits the ICU room and then things start to happen really fast!

What the Administrative Notice does is document all 16 drugs and the over 40 nutrient depletions caused by the medications and their side-effects which include death. (Betcha didn't know that!) This puts the doctor and the hospital on notice that they are now legally responsible for the nutrient depletions and in the case of death could end up in court for wrongful death. The doctors get the notice, reduce the drugs by half and put Glyconutrients in his feeding tube. Next day Bill is out of ICU and doing fine and should be home within a week.

If you have someone who is being forced into taking drugs or is in a hospital and can't get nutrition due to conventional care, go to this website http://www.procare4u.org/ and find out what you can do to stop it. This is just another service of The Results Project.

About the program

Courtesy Notifications program was developed to provide essential patient advocacy support for our members, by informing your family doctors of possible medical misadventures, mishaps, nutrient deficiencies, or other unintended side-effects that can be caused from prescription drugs, treatments, or therapies your family doctor maybe currently using in your treatment plan. This support program is designed to enhance your sacred doctor-patient relationship and help your family doctor understand the latest scientific studies, in the exploding research areas of wellness (optimal health) care: i.e., glycobiology, orthomolecular medicine, nutrition research, etc.

This program will provide the essential scientific reference information your family doctor needs, in order to assist you in developing the plan of care to create or maintain your optimal health.

The Administrative Notice program was developed as the final part of this Patient Power program series. This program works in concert with the Courtesy Notification and Telephone Consultation programs.

In today's fast paced modern world, it is increasingly important to help your family doctor keep up on the vast amounts of new scientific advancements. This program will provide the essential scientific reference information your family doctor needs, in order to assist you in developing the plan of care to create or maintain your optimal health.

The Administrative Notice program was developed as the final part of this Patient Power program series. This program works in concert with the Courtesy Notification and Telephone Consultation programs.

The Health ReNewal Institute's Administrative Notice program is an important part of ensuring that your doctor will seriously consider your nutritional needs, along with your prescription drug or over-the-counter medication therapy.

This service evaluates your current treatment program of prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications for known nutritional deficiencies or biochemical imbalances that these medications usage may cause.

Then a package of information, from the doctor in your Telephone Consultation, is sent to your family doctor, advising him or her of:

  1. your concerns,
  2. your symptoms,
  3. possible medical misadventures, mishaps, nutrient deficiencies, or other unintended side-effects that can be caused from prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, or therapy regimens in your family doctor's current recommended treatment plan,
  4. your lab results,
  5. your Telephone Consultation doctor's recommendations,
  6. laboratories known to provide the types of medical tests required to monitor your ongoing care,
  7. CME educational courses on medical nutrition therapy practices
  8. and a synopsis of research studies that have proven a relationship between various medications and nutrients.
