Research Members Turned Off By HAARP Artificial Intelligence – Video

20-03-2012 15:54 The number of members from my research group turned off by HAARP-related technologies is up to six. These members are experiencing sudden weakness, no energy, no appetite, extreme sleepiness to physical collapse to the point of requiring hospitalization. The doctors shake their heads not knowing the cause of these symptoms. The body is shut down to the point of cardiac arrest in some cases. HAARP is connected to a series of technologies that boggles the mind that combines chemtrails, nano technologies, super soldiers program, psychic programs BillyHayes: Haiti Jan 12, 2010: BillyHayes: Remember when China said that the US was responsible for the quake on May 12, 2010: BillyHayes: and now the Japan quake last year: BillyHayes: Pretty sure they will dissapear again, so need to make copy if you can Press Release Video: 3/22 Press Release: ----------- HAARP @ Haiti Quake 1/12/2010: HAARP @ China Quake 5/12/2010: HAARP @ Japan Quake 3/11/2011: Billy and Terral03 on HAARP: Morgellons, Nanomedicine, Nanotechnology and Chemtrails: Super Soldiers: Russians Top US in Paranormal Research: Billy Hayes and HAARP: Terral03.com: March 11, 2011 Japan PDF: Download Paltalk Messenger (Free): Terral's Research Group:

Implanted Defibrillators Benefit Older People

(HealthDay News) -- Implanted cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), which deliver an electric shock to prevent sudden death when a heart stops beating properly, improve survival in people 75 and older, new research suggests.

The finding contradicts several earlier studies, notably a 2007 report from Canada that said the benefits of ICDs were limited for older people.

"Their discussion looked at defibrillators in patients who were older and sicker," said Dr. Paul Chan, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Missouri in Kansas City, and lead author of the new report. "It found use of defibrillators was limited, because they were more likely to die. But there was no control group, no comparison with a group of similar patients who did not get defibrillators."

The new study did have such a control group. It looked at results for 500 people who got ICDs because their left ventricles, which pump blood to the body, were functioning at no more than 35 percent of capacity. The study compared those results to those for a similar number of people with the same condition who did not get ICDs.

"We found that older people were more likely to die," Chan said, "but in this older group of patients, we still found they got a benefit from the defibrillator, similar to that seen in the other age groups."

Over the course of the six-year study, the overall death rate was 26.7 percent for the non-ICD group and 21.6 percent for the ICD group. This 30 percent reduction in deaths was the same for people 75 and older as well as younger recipients. Read more…

Has Your Doctor Turned You Into a Hypochondriac?

Once you turn 40 you start hearing a different tune from your doctor. The person who once said you were healthy as an ox is starting to tell you about the problems of aging, how you aren't as strong as you used to be and that oncoming illnesses are imminent and dangerous. This has led many to believe that their doctor is trying to make them a hypochondriac. Are doctors doing this, or is it just the imagination of someone who really cannot accept that his or her health truly is declining? If the doctor is doing this, is this considered malpractice? All of these questions will be answered.

ATA 2012: Where “Meaningful Use” Becomes a Reality

WASHINGTON, April 26, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- ATA 2012: April 29 - May 1, San Jose, CA.

The American Telemedicine Association applauds the ongoing development of electronic medical records and related health information technologies. These systems lead to greater provider and payer administrative efficiencies; but more importantly, they are a vehicle for improving healthcare quality, increasing access and reducing costs through telemedicine. The complete integration of telemedicine services is an essential element in establishing meaningful use of the investment in HIT. Telemedicine combines high-tech technologies and a human touch to improve the lives of patients, regardless of their location.

 

 

"Electronic records and IT systems mean little to the healthcare consumer if they aren't integrated into the delivery of actual patient services," said Jonathan Linkous, CEO of the American Telemedicine Association. "The government has its own definition, but for patients, 'meaningful use' means telemedicine."

ATA's position represents a growing consensus among consumers, providers and payers that telemedicine should be an important component of reformed healthcare. This is evidenced in the following developments:

1. A majority of consumers now want remote access to care - According to a new Deloitte survey of health care consumers 55% want to communicate with their doctors via email. 68% percent are interested in remote monitoring devices that allow self-monitoring of their condition and electronic reporting of results to their physician.

2. Congress addressing cross-state licensure issues - Congress has just passed a law eliminating duplicate state license requirements for physicians treating the nation's military families and veterans. They are also exploring other solutions to streamline licensure, enabling physicians to remotely deliver healthcare anywhere in the country.

3. Billions announced for innovations in Medicare and Medicaid - The new CMS Innovation Center is about to announce up to $1 billion in grants for the winners of the Health Care Innovation Challenge. In addition, more than $1 billion more will be announced soon for other focused initiatives such as Bundled Payments, Comprehensive Primary Care, and the Strong Start Program.

4. The start of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) - The first set of 32 pioneer ACOs, serving 860,000 patients, was announced last December with others due to be announced this March and May. ATA estimates that one quarter of all Americans, 73 million patients, are now covered under some form of managed care health insurance program.

ATA has been leading the effort in all of these areas and will continue to work with all stakeholders to ensure the HIT and telemedicine are combined to best serve patient populations.

Organizations and individuals interested in learning more about telemedicine and HIT are encouraged to attend the ATA 2012 Annual Meeting, April 29-May 1, 2012, in San Jose, California. ATA 2012 is the world's largest telemedicine, telehealth and mHealth event, with 450 presentations and an exhibit hall with 200 product and service vendors. This year, over 4,500 healthcare professionals--clinicians, administrators, entrepreneurs, IT specialists, engineers and more--are expected to attend. Free passes for the ATA 2012 Exhibit Hall are available. For more information, visit http://www.ATA2012.com.

The American Telemedicine Association is the leading resource and advocate promoting the use of advanced remote medical technologies. ATA and its diverse membership work to fully integrate telemedicine into healthcare systems to improve quality, equity and affordability of healthcare throughout the world. Established in 1993, ATA is headquartered in Washington, D.C. For more information, visit http://www.americantelemed.org .

Telemedicine Technology Creating a New Standard of Care

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 25, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Telemedicine, once a specialty niche, is quickly becoming a new standard of care for hospitals and healthcare providers across America. Driven by patient demand and an imperative to improve healthcare quality and accessibility, telemedicine is now a near-requirement for modern medical institutions. Organizations not adopting these technologies expose themselves to declining clinical outcomes, loss of market-share and potential litigation.

"You can no longer afford to ignore telemedicine or offer it only as a peripheral service," said Jon Linkous, CEO of the American Telemedicine Association. "Providers that don't integrate telemedicine into their delivery models are limiting patient access to the best on-demand care possible. They are also losing out to their competitors who are using the technology to improve care, reduce costs and expand their markets."

The importance of telemedicine as a standard of care is evident in several areas:

Increased patient demand for telemedicine. According to ATA over 10 million Americans are now directly benefitting from telemedicine each year.

State mandates for insurance coverage of telehealth services. 15 states have now passed laws requiring private payers to cover services provided via telemedicine. The foundation for this legislation is that patients should receive the best care, regardless of whether an on-site provider is available.

A growing standard of care: Practically every hospital in the country uses telemedicine to assure 24/7 access to professional radiology services. Similar use is now growing for many other specialty services. So it is not surprising that patient and consumer groups are starting to expect such access everywhere. In fact, several recent lawsuits (that were later settled out of court) were filed against hospitals for not providing telemedicine services.

Organizations and individuals interested in learning more about telemedicine are encouraged to attend the ATA 2012 Annual Meeting, April 29-May 1, 2012 in San Jose, California. ATA 2012 is the world's largest telemedicine, telehealth and mHealth event, with 450 presentations and an exhibit hall with 200 product and service vendors.
