Your next visit to a hospital might kill you.
Here's how to survive it.
My name is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
I'm known as a consumer health advocate.
I'm the founder of naturalnews.com, and I give you a lot of straight talk that can save your life.
Hospitals kill people.
And I'm talking about, from lots of different things, C. diff infections, for example, superbug infections.
C. diff is just one of them.
And it's very, very common.
And one of the things, see, look, I've worked in, believe it or not, I've been around the healthcare industry for many, many years.
When I was young, a teenager, I actually volunteered in In nursing homes.
And I would bring water and I would help deliver supplies to the rooms of all the senior citizens there.
And I would even do things like help them emotionally.
I would listen to their stories.
I would hold their hands.
Sometimes people just needed someone to be there with them.
And I volunteered, did volunteer work, and then later on I actually did Some contract work for nursing homes.
And I've been around the healthcare system most of my life and I've known doctors as friends.
Some of them are still alive.
Some of them have passed away.
One of them in particular died from cancer treatment.
That he insisted would save his life.
He's gone, sadly.
He's a wonderful, intelligent person, but he believed the hype of the cancer industry, so now he's gone.
And I miss him dearly.
Nevertheless, I've been around this industry a long time.
I've seen a lot of horrible, horrible things.
And I want you to stay alive, which means really stay out of the hospitals as much as possible.
Now, here's what matters.
Number one.
Hospitals are poorly run.
In America today, when I go into a hospital, which I try to avoid as much as possible, but sometimes I'm there for other people.
And what I see is just disastrously run medical systems that to me look like third world countries.
And I've lived in third world countries.
I've lived in developing nations.
I used to be a resident of Ecuador.
And I saw the hospitals in Ecuador.
They were no worse than the hospitals in the United States, by the way.
In some ways, they were better.
They were surely a lot more affordable.
But even in the United States, hospital staff, and let me preface this by saying there are exceptions to this.
So I acknowledge there are a great many nurses out there.
In fact, a lot of nurses are fans of naturalnews.com, and I want to give you kudos because I know your frustration.
I know how much you're trying to make a difference, and you're working with arrogant doctors, and you're working with hospital bureaucracies, and just all the nonsense that goes on around you.
But I want to give you credit up front because what I'm going to say as a generalization is that the nurses that are operating out there today, most of them are totally incompetent.
Again, it doesn't apply to everybody, especially the fans of natural news.
I know you're trying to make a difference, but you know your colleagues.
Are largely incompetent.
They make so many medical mistakes, it is absolutely astonishing.
They don't give the right doses of medications.
They don't use the right doses of the creams that they put on patients.
They don't rotate patients so they end up getting bedsores and getting infections.
They give the wrong drugs.
They read the wrong charts.
They give the right drugs to the wrong orifice of the body.
Supposed to be oral, they make it anal.
The mistakes that go on in these hospitals, if you really took a closer look, would blow your freaking mind.
And that doesn't even count all the billing mistakes, which is a whole other realm.
But just the administration mistakes, the mistakes in dealing with patients, dealing with medicines, interventions, are so horrific.
And another category is the mistakes with the machinery.
The CAT scans, in particular, are so often miscalibrated that they cause serious radiation burns in thousands of patients a year.
I can't even tell you how often I hear this story from people.
A family member goes into the hospital, they get a CAT scan.
All of a sudden they have radiation burns and they have scar tissue and then they have increased cancer risk.
And sometimes, depending on what area of the body was just fried by the radiation, they have life-threatening situations.
You know, urgent care that has to come out of this.
And this is because, again, hospital staff and the technicians, they are overworked.
They're working night shifts.
They're not paying attention.
You'd be amazed how many hospital staffers are hooked on pharmaceuticals.
They're abusing the drugs themselves, OxyContin, whatever they can get their hands on.
They're junkies, all right?
The pharmacists are junkies.
I'm just telling you the truth, you know.
If you don't believe this, fine.
You tell me, why do 783,000 Americans die every year in hospitals and in the healthcare system?
It's because of the reasons I'm telling you.
Reasons that a lot of people aren't willing to talk about.
But yeah, the doctors are junkies.
The pharmacists are junkies.
Most of the nurses are incompetent.
The machines are miscalibrated.
The antibiotics are abused.
You're likely to get infected from a doctor's tie because he was leaning over some other patient that has a superbug.
And he got a superbug bacteria infection on his tie from the other patient and then he leans over you, rubs that tie on you.
Now you're infected.
Now you're essentially dead because they don't have anything that can treat it.
Doctors don't wash their hands the way they're supposed to.
Nurses often don't wash their hands.
The rooms aren't sanitized correctly.
The schedules are all messed up.
They're supposed to give you medications that The hospital food is a total disaster.
The food causes cancer.
The food is loaded with so many chemicals and hydrogenated oils and MSG and other just garbage, GMO foods that the foods actually cause the diseases that the hospital makes money treating.
Think about that.
If you eat hospital food, You probably want to die.
It's so bad.
It's like, get me out of this damn hospital so I can have a decent meal.
And what a shame that is.
What a shame that our healthcare system serves food that promotes diabetes and promotes cancer and promotes heart disease.
It's an absolute shame.
The whole system.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
They should just shut the whole thing down, as far as I'm concerned.
Leave the emergency rooms open because we need that.
Shut down all the rest of the hospital system.
You'd probably have fewer deaths in America without the hospitals that we see running today.
I'm not even kidding.
You'd probably have fewer deaths.
They kill more people than they save.
So, and that, I just touched the surface, by the way.
There are so many things that they do wrong that can go wrong.
It's just astonishing that anybody ever survives a hospital stay, as far as I'm concerned.
Hospitals are like Superbug Central.
Now what can you do to survive your stay at the hospital?
Number one, don't go to the hospital unless you need to, right?
So eat healthy, exercise, don't live a sedentary lifestyle, don't eat a bunch of toxic processed foods, get some sunshine, get some time in nature, get some healthy sleep, have some healthy relationships.
Have some healthy sex.
You know, have a good healthy life holistically all around.
You're going to prevent disease.
Take some medicinal herbs, superfoods, eat well, and you will avoid most problems that take people to the hospital or that put people in the hospital.
Second thing you can do, if you have to go to the hospital, be a pain in the ass to the doctors.
Don't believe everything they say.
Question everything they do.
And have your own logbook.
Write down every intervention that they're doing to you.
What time, what day, what dose, what orifice.
Write it all down.
Keep a logbook.
The hospital staff will notice that you're keeping a logbook.
When they see patients keeping logs, you know what they think?
Lawsuit time unless we do our jobs the way we're supposed to.
So then they actually start administering the medications at the right time and the right dose.
You'd be amazed just what a difference it can make if you tell all the nurses, I'm keeping a log, and you actually write down everything they do.
All of a sudden, you're going to get more attention and more accurate attention because they don't want to get sued and have your logbook entered as evidence of their total incompetence.
Third thing that you can do is have an advocate with you.
Have a family member who can help navigate the hospital quag bar and can have oversight of the medications to double check the medications, to double check the dosage, to interface with the doctors and nurses.
You need an advocate.
If you're a patient and It's very difficult to sit there and be sick or recover from surgery or whatever you're there for and to also defend your rights and defend your health against this system that very likely has a risk of killing you.
Have a family member there who can interface and make sure that family member has the backbone to stand up against medical staff.
Ideally, you want somebody there who is a doctor or a nurse or an attorney.
And best thing would be like a medical malpractice attorney.
That's who you really want.
Like Uncle Joe, the medical malpractice attorney.
He's coming in.
You guys better do your jobs, damn it.
And that's the only way you're going to be really safe.
The fourth thing is, of course, get out of there as quickly as you can without compromising your health.
Obviously, you don't want to get up and walk out of there right after surgery.
You need some recovery time.
But don't linger in the hospital just because it's covered by insurance or just because you like the daytime television and the automatic bed that you can control with a remote device.
Remember that because the hospital is a high-risk place to be, you want to get out of there as soon as possible.
You're going to have a better recovery at home with familiar surroundings, familiar family members, perhaps familiar food.
You're going to do better there, and your home is probably, believe it or not, a more sanitary place to be compared to the hospital because, well...
Where do all the sick people go?
To the hospital, not your house, right?
So get out of the way of all the other sick people who are bringing all these infectious diseases in and all the infected doctors and other medical staff who are carrying those diseases around and covering you with them.
Get away from all that.
Get out of the hospital as quickly as you can.
Alright, the next thing that you can do is you can have a family member bring you real food or juice.
You are going to need great nutrition to recover from anything that's going on in a hospital.
If they put you on medications, those medications can deplete your body of essential nutrients and minerals.
Just stress alone can deplete your body.
And don't even talk about chemotherapy or radiation or surgery.
All of those really vastly increase your body's need for outstanding nutrition.
And since you're not going to get that nutrition from hospital food, a lot of hospitals actually have McDonald's in the hospital.
It's like, really?
McDonald's in the hospital?
What a shame that is!
So have a family member bring something for you.
Ideally, they should do some juicing that morning, some fresh juice with a little bit of cabbage in it, but mostly like celery and apple or orange and carrot, a little bit of lemon juice in there, some kale, some spinach.
Do a really healthy juice and have them bring that to you so you can have good nutrition every day.
And if the doctor asks you, what is that?
I've never seen that before.
Then run as quickly as you can because your doctor knows nothing about nutrition.
Right?
In any case, these are some of the things that you can do to help protect your health and perhaps survive your next encounter with a hospital that kills hundreds of thousands of people every year.
Thanks for listening.
