Doctor Errors: The 8 things that must never happen to you in hospital
There are eight things that must never, ever happen to you while you’re in hospital. If they do, health insurers say they will no longer pay out. Tired of picking up the tab for the vast number of doctor and hospital errors that happen in American hospitals every year, health insurers have listed the eight 'no payout' errors - which means you could be footing the bill, and as they're so commonplace, there’s a reasonable chance you will.

Natural Standard Bottom Line Monograph - Bacopa (Brahmi)
Bacopa (Bacopa monnieri) leaf extract is called brahmi in Ayurvedic medicine and is widely used in India, especially for enhancing memory, analgesia (pain relief), and epilepsy. Bacopa has traditionally been used to treat asthma, hoarseness, and mental disorders, to help improve mental performance, epilepsy, and as a nerve tonic, cardiotonic (heart tonic), and diuretic (increases urine flow). Bacopa was prominently mentioned in Indian texts as early as the 6th Century. Most research on bacopa has concentrated on its effects on learning. Bacopa may also be helpful in managing pediatric attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but clinical evidence is lacking.

Integrator Blog - Chiropractors in the Veteran's Health Administration Blaze Path for Hospitals
Many of us use chiropractors. Yet the resistance to integration of chiropractic into the care provided by hospitals and health systems has been profound, despite the movement for so-called "integrative medicine." For the last 4 years, the Veteran's Health Administration has been the source of the most significant integration of chiropractors into any health system. Anthony Lisi, DC, who directs this effort, describes how prejudices are breaking down with experience.

Mind Body Health: "Depression and Health Care: The High Cost of Saving" - David S. Sobel, MD
In spite of a growing body of research documenting the economic burden of depression on individuals and on society, efforts to curb skyrocketing medical costs usually start with cuts in mental health services and benefits. Insurance coverage of mental health treatment has become more and more restrictive. Most health care reform proposals impose stricter limits on mental health care than on general medical services. One study - looking beyond the direct cost of treating depression to the use of medical services in general - suggests that in the long run these cuts may be costing the health-care system far more than they save, reports Dr. David Sobel in "Depression and Health Care: The High Cost of Saving."
