Hospitals & Asylums

Vol.
12 No. 2
By Anthony J. Sanders
I was too busy reading the +/- 666 page Old Testament to
make off with either a hasty update of Book 3 Health and Welfare or any local
friends of the exclusionary rule. The
history of Hospitals & Asylums (HA) dates to the Naval Hospital Act of Feb.
26, 1811. Since 1924, when the U.S. Civil Code was adopted, HA has been
codified at Title 24. Since 2000 HA
statute, a 50 page insert, has been studied, applied and amended and now
exceeds 1,500 pages in length. The
spirit of peace is be found at Arlington National Cemetery and the Armed Forces
Retirement Home statute that settled the largest reparation in world
history. The spirit of freedom resides
at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, which has been rehabilitated by U.S. Customs. HA owns the balanced
federal budget and government reform under the Annotated U.S.
Constitution and U.N. Charter Legitimate Edition. For change that is healthy, wealthy and wise
people must dissolve the Democratic and Republican (DR) two party system and
join the Hospitals & Asylums Political Party 2012 (HAPPY) where the
economic laws of supply of demand, diminishing returns, fair wages, budget and
trade balance and currency appreciation, regulate a free market and civil law
system that keep us healthy. Your
patronage is greatly appreciated; be an author, editor, subscribe or Donate.

GI,
Pancreas and Liver: Pathology and Non-surgical Intervention HA-31-5-12
The
digestive system comprises the mouth, liver, gallbladder, stomach, pancreas,
ileococal valve, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, small
intestines and sigmoid colon. A typical adult
human in the United States imbibes 2 liters of fluid per day, to which is added
1 liter of saliva; 2 liters of gastric juice; 1 liter of bile; 2 liters of
pancreatic juice; and 1 liter of intestinal secretions. Of these 9 liters of fluid presented to the
intestine, less than 200 gm of stool are excreted per day, of which 65 to 85%
is water. Diarrhea is perceived as the
body’s production of more than 4/5 cups (0.2 L) of stool a day. Low-volume, painful, bloody diarrhea is
known as dysentery. Gastro-intestinal disease
accounts for about 10% of all illness, as well as 10% of general practitioner
consultations, 8.5% of prescriptions and 8.3% of the cost of inpatient
treatment. It is responsible 8.8% of
days of certified incapacity to work and 10% of all deaths. Traditionally, the
most highly effective remedy for vomiting and acute diarrhea, with or without
blood, is white rice water. Symptoms
usually stop the instant the patient eats the rice. Imodium (Loperamide) is the standard treatment for diarrhea. Traveler’s diarrhea caused by E. coli infection is treated with
Bactrim (Trimethoprim and Sulphamethoxazole).
For the treatment of peptic and duodenal ulcers there are antacids,
anti-emetics, Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antihistamine H-2 receptor
antagonists. Aminosalicylates
are immune-suppressants used to treat ulcerative colitis, proctitis and Crohn's
disease.
Metronidazole (Flagyl ER) deserves special mention because it is a
uniquely useful antibiotic in the treatment of diarrhea and intra-abdominal
infections (including ulcers, appendicitis, peritonitis, intra-abdominal
abscess, liver abscess and antibiotic associated colitis caused by antibiotic
resistant C, difficile).
Prolonged use of any antidiarrheal agent is discouraged. Carcinogenesis of the digestive tract does not
usually occur until after a decade of chronic disease, specifically Hepatitis B
and ulcerative colitis (UC), but is always a possibility. Hygiene, diet (elimination diets and white
rice water), B12 and folate containing multi-vitamins and
homeopathic remedies are the mainstay treatment for chronic diarrhea. Fecal transplant seems safe
and effective.

Second Reading: Release
Assange and Manning HA-31-1-12
As of January 30, 2012 WikiLeaks website reports that the organization has
undergone 423 days of banking
blockade - no process; Julian Assange has been subjected to 420 days detainment no charge. Bradley Manning had been subjected to 617 days incarceration in a U.S. military prison - no brief. I was first asked to take the case of
Julian Assange in December 2010 around the time Interpol issued a warrant for
his arrest and released him on bail a week later. I declined to take the case at the time
because he was not actually in prison and I felt my actions were more likely to
jeopardize his life than help his case.
In 2011 An Open Letter from the
Members of the European Parliament expressed concern for the human rights
of Bradley Manning. U.S. Congress
responded by abolishing the death penalty in espionage and censorship statute
that now provides victim compensation at 18USC(I)(37)§793(h)(4) and 18USC(I)(37)§794(d)(4). When I was reminded of Bradley Manning’s
unlawful detention in November 2011 by the courageous work of Deb Van Poolen
who sponsored a candlelight vigil with a coalition of advocacy organizations
before going to Washington D.C. on hunger strike for Bradley Manning, in the
New Year, I resolved to cover Wikileaks, as one of two cases for “Jail January”
2012. The Supreme Court of Sweden
quickly moved for a February 2012 ruling on Julian Assange. Charges against Bradley Manning must be dismissed
under Rule 907 of the Manual for Courts Martial. Mercy, No
further action need be taken to investigate or prosecute the European arrest
warrant of Julian Assange under Chapter 11 Article 13(2) of the Constitution of Sweden. N.A.T.O. may pay victim compensation for
the Collateral Murder Video released 5 April 2010
Tutorial on Psychiatric Drug Abuse HA-18-4-12
Psychiatric
drug abuse has become rife since the closure of many psychiatric hospitals in
the latter half of the 20th century without completing discrediting
the slave trade and shifting Medicare and Medicaid payments from psychiatry and
mental health to social workers with access to HUD Section 8 and SSI. Hypnotic, sedative and antipsychotic drugs
are the leading cause of fatal drug overdose, 15% of fatalities reported to the
Poison Control Center. Dementia may be caused by statin drugs. The pharmaculture
in foster care is known for being particularly excessive. The 20% rise in the autism diagnostic tic
this decade is quite likely to be caused by one time exposure to atypical
antipsychotics or Ritalin that can be treated with one dose of antiparkinsonian
drugs, ie. benztropine (Cogentin) or Amantadine (Symmetrel). This is not the first time that psychiatric
drug side-effects have had dramatic epidemiologic consequences. Thalidomide was recalled when it was found to
cause birth defects. The doubling in the
rate of diabetes in the United States can be traced to the marketing of
Olanzapine (Zyprexa) by the Indiana Corporation Eli Lilly. Atypical antipsychotics seem to have been
designed to cause tics with one regular dose, a symptom that took a year to
develop a permanent untreatable condition of tardive dyskinesia with standard
antipsychotics. Risperidone (Risperdal) seems to be
the only atypical antipsychotic that doesn’t cause sedation or muscular
side-effects. Selective Serotonin
Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) have replaced Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) and
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) for the treatment of chronic anxiety,
obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression. Although its manufacturer, Eli Lilly, claims
is causes no side-effects Fluoxetine (Prozac) is known by the FDA to cause over
200 side-effects. Paroxetine (Paxil), Fluvoxamine (Luvox) and Citalopram
(Celexa)
can be
purchased online. The antidepressant Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban) has been found
to improve the outcome of smoke cessation by 50%. For stress management there is no substitute
for independent athletic scholarship.
For optimal performance a vegan diet, daily exercise, newspaper and
magazine reading are needed. To solve
mental problems check out the relevant books from the library, do push-ups and
sit-ups between chapters, jog daily, apply notes to your citation of statute and
turn in your homework.
Defective
Columbia ™ and Nike Lunarlon™ Running
Shoe Reflex HA-10-4-12
Approximately 80 percent of all foot problems
can be attributed to ill-fitting footwear.
After my Nike and Brooks collaborative running shoes wore out I bought
Nike Lunalon™ running shoes whose plastic heel brace broke in less than a week
and pierced the cloth to press against the Achilles tendon of my right foot, I
went through five pairs of running shoes in the gouty month of March. This is the first time the Nike™ has failed
me. I unfortunately returned the
Goodwill cross-trainers that might have made me strong to the free box and
became crippled with sesamoiditis of the left big toe targeted by two of the
running shoes. This crippling injury was
caused by a dimple in the cheapest new running shoe in the store that developed
in the rain after running two marathons in a week. The Columbia™ display with the same big toe
joint dimple strongly implies a manufacturer’s defect. Both Columbia™ and Nike™ clearly need
industrial communication and collaboration to procure gout free running shoe
textile fabric under the Federal Trade Commission Act to help justify the
voluntary recall of these defective products.
The best
approach to recovery from foot injuries are periods of two week
increments. Painful activity must be
stopped completely for five days to two weeks.
Treat with ice and crutches. In
1994 there were about 140,000 job-related foot injuries, 40,000 of them toe
injuries, causing an estimated $3.5 billion in economic damages. Studies show
that 75 percent of Americans experience foot problems of a greater or lesser
degree of seriousness at some time in their lives. Tinea pedis fungus is implicated in 99% of athlete’s foot and nail
infections. Foot bacteria also
flourishes in moisture. Elder care
prescribes antifungal foot powder. The
effectiveness of oral antifungals is 60-80%.
The re-infection rate is 15% but can be as high as 25% in
diabetics. Serious adverse reactions are
less than 0.5% and this class of pharmaceutical antifungals leads to NOXAFIL
(posaconazole oral suspension) the primary prophylaxis of aspergillosis in
immunocompromised individuals at high risk of invasive disease (i.e.,
neutropenic patients with acute myelogenous leukemia [AML] or myelodysplastic
syndrome [MDS], hematopoietic stem cell transplant [HSCT] recipients with
graft-versus-host disease [GVHD]).
Reflexologists are recommended to prescribe antibiotics for heart
disease, metronidazole (Flagyl ER) for non-cancerous liver disease, treated
with Human Immune Globulin IV in cases of cancer, so often denied, as well as
the broad spectrum antifungal Sporonox (itraconazole) and Lamisil (terbinifine
hydrochloride) for Tinea pedis.
Book 1 Military Diplomacy (MD)
To
transfer Chapter One Navy Hospitals, Naval Home, Army and other Naval Hospital,
and Hospital Relief for Seamen and Others §1-40 to Chapter 10 Armed Forces
Retirement Home §400-435 and write a new Book.
This Chapter shall change the name of the Department of Defense (DoD) to
the Military Department (MD). The US
Military employs an estimated 2.8 million US citizens including 600,000
civilian employees. Since its foundation
the US military has suffered nearly 1.3 million casualties in 13 wars. There are reported to be 26.4 million US
veterans. The U.S. is on track to reduce
their arsenal from 10,000 warheads, to no more than 1,700 to 2,200 nuclear
warheads by 2012. Eliminating various
Cold War weapons systems can save $50 billion from maintenance, redeployment
from Iraq and Afghanistan can save another $50 billion. Surplus military bases and assets shall be
sold and surplus funds returned to the Treasury. Military spending must be limited to $500
billion annually. Military commanders
must prohibit the use of force, environmental
modification and biological experimentation.
Compensation must be paid by the State for casualty, injury and property
damage to civilians caused by military actions.
For lower cost humanitarian missions the US shall veto Chapter VII of
the UN Charter and promote humanitarian missions that pay payroll and corporate
taxes, less social insurance and deductibles, to the general treasury of any
occupied developing nation. Democratic
peace theory holds that liberal democracies tend to be more peaceful than
authoritarian or totalitarian states…51
Book
9 Public Health Department (PHD)
To amend Chapter 9 Hospitalization
of Mentally Ill Nationals Returned from Foreign Countries §321-329 that was transferred to Chapter
4. Common infectious diseases accounted for
40% of all deaths in 1900 but they accounted for only 4% of all deaths in 2000.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD; heart disease and stroke) accounted for 14% of all
deaths in 1900 and for 37% in 2000. Cancer accounted for only 4% of all deaths
in 1900 but for 23% in 2000. In 1900,
infant mortality was 162 per 1,000 live births and life expectancy at birth was
only 47 years. In 1940, infant mortality was 63 per 1,000 live births and life
expectancy was 55 years. In 2000, infant mortality was 7 per 1,000 and life
expectancy was 77 years. In the 20th century considerable progress was
made eradicating communicable diseases, in the 21st century medical
science must begin to communicate about the laboratory pathogens that are
theoretically causing the vast majority of non-communicable diseases for which
institutional Ethics Committees are a more promising cure than science. People suffering from chronic illnesses must
throw away their war-robes and death beds, eat a vegan diet of fruits,
vegetables and whole grains and exercise regularly. Medical residency rotations must be limited
to less than 60 hours per week. Payments
to highly paid specialists must be reduced and primary care promoted. To secure people against the dangers of the
Public Health Service (PHS) and at long last, graduate from the Department of
Health Education and Welfare (HEW) the Centers for Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP
(CMS) shall change their name to National Health Insurance (NHI) and be
transferred with all other Mandatory Benefit programs to the management of the
Social Security Administration (SSA). Children’s Health insurance shall be
financed with 100% of the proceeds of the Attorney General’s Master Tobacco
Settlement. The Substance Abuse Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) shall change its name to Social Work
Administration (SWA) and in time become an independent social work agency also
responsible for the Agency on Aging and Children and Family Services. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
shall change its name to the Drug Evaluation Agency (DEA) and be transferred to
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Whereupon the DHHS may adopt the name Public Health Department (PHD) on
the condition that an Education Division (ED) to the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) be created to secure toxic laboratory
supplies. Epidemiologic statistics shall
be improved. The abuse of bio-medical
laboratory supplies is prohibited and trans-fats banned…1288
