Computers in Medicine: What Can We Expect Next? no comments
Over the years, personal have consistently been expanding in the use of our everyday lives. We use them at work, at home, at school, on our cell phones, to predict the weather, to get information, and so on. It is constantly growing and has become a major player in the medical field as well. Most hospitals and clinics rely on computers for their administration, financials, and data submission and retrieval purposes. When you break a bone, a takes an x-ray to determine the exact placement of the break, MRI’s take your internals, and surgery can now be performed through small incisions using cameras hooked up to computers. Computers manage everything.
The progress of medicine in the past few years has been rapid and extremely beneficial. Computers play such a role in this advancement, that it is likely that they will become an absolute necessity in every part of medical practices in the near future.
One example of the rapid growth of personal systems in medical practice is Dean Care, a massive medical practice in Madison, WI, recently changed their whole system of patient information over from the standard folder method, to a secured software program where all history and patient files are available at the nurses’ and doctors’ fingertips. Rather than having to request files be sent over from a different clinic or hospital, this new software allows all of this information to readily available.
This new technology opened up a lot of new job opportunities for IT techs, programmers, and other software people, but took away many of the lower paying, traditional jobs, such as the person you’d see walking around with a cartful of files. In some ways it’s a good thing to offer more high paying jobs, but it expands the clinic’s budget even further, as well as takes away from many of the people who are not educated in systems, software, or other technical backgrounds.
Within a few years, there will be a plethora of new machines available to do anything from taking blood, to self check-in for patients. It will be interesting to see how many human jobs are taken over by computers. However, the need for humans to oversee all of the technical machines will never diminish. There will always need to be someone there to either fix troubles that arise, or to take over if one of the systems fails. The need for human interaction will obviously never absolutely vanish, but it may diminish a great deal.

Health Books Over Time no comments
The establishment of the first printing press in 1976 brought forth the widespread use of books, pamphlets, as well as newspapers and other materials that were once a burden to print using block lettering. With this new invention, it became easier to spread news quickly, and to print books such as the bible, and other important books. Among these were books about health and medicine.
Settlers who came to the Americas in Colonial times brought with them along with various other cultural artifacts, and were soon reprinted in America. At those times, the majority of healing was done at home, and not in hospitals and clinics, because of high prices as well as availability. The layperson often knew just as much about health and different cures as did and professionals. Soon, these books became nearly as omnipresent as the bible, turned from mere books, to guides on how to lead a healthy life in terms of everything from diets, exercises, sex, and prolonged life. They became a part of life and culture from the moment they were first brought to America, all the way until the 19th century, and are still common today.
At first, these guides to self-healing and a better, healthier life, were reproductions of books that had been written in England and brought overseas. For example, William Buchan’s Domestic Medicine, which was first printed in 1769 in Edinburgh, and was found everywhere in American homes by the time the Civil War came around. Another such book was John Wesley’s Primitive Physick, a compilation of recipes, which also circulated widely in both England and North America after its original English publication in 1747. It was reprinted in Philadelphia as early as 1764.
The publishing and use of these books increased steadily through the first century of America’s independence. As the times and beliefs changed, though, so did the content of these health books. They reflected the technical, economic, and cultural changes that the young America was going through. Soon, the markets contained an abundance of the books, thanks to cheaper paper, transportation, binding, and printing. By the mid-19th century, health books were also more likely to be illustrated. Physicians and drug manufacturers used illustrations to promote and advertise their products and services.
Most of the books on health modeled themselves on, or in some ways resembled Buchan’s Domestic Medicine. The subjects, however, varied greatly. They included everything from sections on hernia, electricity, vaccination, rescue from drowning, diet for the poor, and cold bathing. In the middle third of the century, John Gunn’s Domestic Medicine, or Poor Man’s Friend became America’s most popular general health guide. It was first printed in Knoxville in 1830. Within a decade Poor Man’s Friend had been reprinted more than a dozen times in a variety of small towns and cities, and by 1860 it had evolved into a subscription book.
It wasn’t long before health and medicine books became a part of America’s culture. Looking at these books now can tell us much about the way Americans used to think, and about their ways of life. For example, by looking at Onania; or, the Heinous Sin of Self-Pollution, and all its Frightful Consequences, in both Sexes, Considered, (1724) which was the first American sexual hygiene publication. It’s plain to see by studying this book, that Puritans frowned on masturbation because it threatened marriage, leading to too many bachelors and spinsters and not enough kids to sustain the community. Sex itself was not bad. Even adultery was considered superior than masturbation.
Aside from the guides at that time, there were also books and advertisements about different medicines and treatments. One of the richest and boldest of the early medicine men, Swaim, promoted his panacea with a picture of his most famous cure. It shows a thin, sickly-looking woman, and suggests that only Swaim could have kept such a person alive. Swaim claimed his cure-all contained no mercury, but it did, and the woman’s condition recommends mercury poisoning. Medicine men held a high position in the 19th century. One of them, by the name of Dr. Jayne, made his headquarters into an advertisement by building it as tall as technology would then allow. This was in a sense the first American skyscraper.
Color made the advertisements even more successful. During the Civil War, for example, patriotism was used in the ads, which were made more effective by the colors that were used. Now and medicine men could use color to create photos that depicted healthy complexions.
The 19th century was a time in which the medical profession was vague and divided into different sects: The Thomsonian (Botanic), Eclectic, Homeopathic, and Hydropathic systems of medicine. There was a great increase in guides that explained the different characteristics and practices of healing of these different sects. These books promoted the growth of these sects. Samuel Thomson wrote one of these guides in 1822, A Guide to New Health, which was reprinted many times and influenced the competitors’ books that followed over the next 15 years. The competitors all claimed that they could provide cures through herbal remedies and avoiding “unnatural” drugs. Such books and pamphlets were popular until the 1860’s.
In the 1830’s and 40’s, homeopathic and hydropathic guides began to appear. Both practices spoke out against the unnatural aspects of regular medicine. Followers of these sects often encouraged health-enhancing diets and modes of life. It was during this time that Sylvester Graham published books on diet and sexual reform, as well as health and medical practice. A remnant of this program of lifestyle management and control remains in our daily lives in the form of the graham crackers that we are all too familiar with.
The 1840’s and 50’s brought with them many books that were aimed at women and centered around relations of the sexes. A key issue in these types of books was contraception, and ways to maintain a respectable lifestyle in the growing urban communities of America. In addition to these, there were guides on women’s diseases and health, childbirth, and infant management. Guides like these had been popular since the late 18th century. This created much competition. For example, Alexander Hamilton’s Treatsie on Management of Female Complaints, and of Children in Early Infancy, for example, spread widely, and was soon followed by competing books.
On top of everything, families were expected to know what to do in case of anything from acute fevers to diseases such as cancer and tuberculosis. Once again, books started coming out on the subject. Since the generations of those times didn’t know about germs or other causes of diseases, the books mainly focused on controlling every aspect of life. They stated that diet, exercise, air quality, and sleep could all contribute to good or bad health. Books that looked at health in this manner had been written as early as the Renaissance, and had been rewritten and “recycled” since then, especially in the 18th and early 19th century.
The books usually found room to speak about how excessive anger, lust, or fear could damage the body and health. In these times, mind and body were linked and related to one another. By the 1820’s and 30’s, a new way of thinking had developed. This was called phrenology and was the belief that the brain’s anatomical structure was linked to a person’s intelligence, emotions, and functions. One of the more far-fetched theories claimed that psychological readings could be made from the bumps on a person’s head. By the mid-19th century, phrenological almanacs as well as periodicals and guides to health and happiness, became very popular. These books reached out to Americans and their attempts to comprehend and control mental states.
Until this day people find it hard to entrust their health and bodies to a physician who is more often than not, nothing more than a stranger. Laymen have been trying to find ways to heal themselves long before they settled in the Americas. Books about how to heal yourself have become important artifacts over the years, that provide us with much information about the American past. Even now, upon walking into any book store you will find an abundant supply of books on self-healing. It appears that mankind still possesses the desire to control their own bodies, just as he has for generations past, in the Americas, and all over the world.

Health Screening – Prevention and Disease control.
The new “holistic health center” consists of different, completely holistic (entire body) oriented components: A) Fast, effective, pain-free and non-invasive diagnosis, B) Analyzing and immediate treatment of meridian blockages, C) Energy therapy for over 200 disease conditions including cancer, nerve- and bone related diseases, D) Health monitoring and effective prevention to avoid future disease manifestation.
A Holistic Health Center in the design of a mini-clinic will serve the urgent need of health screening and prevention. Health Screening is a new method for early non-invasive diagnosis, usually performed within a few minutes. It is based on the over 5.000 year old knowledge of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is the first reliable Meridian Diagnostic in the world. Cost efficient and highly accurate – up 95%.
Meridian diagnostic is the core concept of efficient health analyzes. A computer based high tech measurement of the 12 main meridians and its correlated organs. It provides a complete energetically picture of a person displayed in an easy to read graphical format. The measuring points are (20) on the fingers and (20) on the toes. Overall biological energy levels, meridian balance, yin – yang, left – right, top – bottom organs, etc. is recorded and can be used for future therapy control (health screening).
Energy levels over 50% reflect health, vitality, less aging, high immune system activity. Energy levels under 50% reflect energy deficit, low immune system activity, disease condition, chronic diseases.
Therapy suggestions are displayed with exact treatment points. One of the major advantages of the Meridian Diagnostic is the advantage to discover unknown Meridian Blockages in the system. When one or more meridian blockages exists the patient becomes Therapy Resistant, which means no therapy will have a sufficient effect. With the BioGraph meridian diagnostic system we are able not only to discover blockages furthermore we can treat and “delete” those blockages immediately. The patient turns from therapy resistant into therapy receptive. The therapy effects are re-established.
The second component in the Holistic Health Center is the world leading and cost efficient “Pulsating Energy Resonance Therapy” (PERTH) acc. to Prof. Dr. Werner (Germany).
Four (4) complete professional therapy systems on a therapy bed will serve app. 32-50 people treatments per day. The capacity can be extended to 8 therapy systems and will serve more than 64 people treatments per day. The basic research of the PERTH therapy started in the early 1920′s with Dr. Royal Rife (The end of all diseases), later research by over 200 Russian researcher for the space program MIR in Russia and since 1994 the research is finalized by a well known German researcher and medical professional Prof. Dr. Werner. In cooperation with leading German universities Werner developed the cancer and bone therapy programs with proven results in 1000′s of medical and clinical studies.
The new PRTH P5 professional treatment system is easy to use, non-invasive, pain free and highly effective for prevention and disease treatment. The energy increase can be monitored with the Meridian Diagnosis immediately after a treatment session.
Particular meridians and related organs are effected long time before a disease becomes a pathological issue. (green – normal, yellow – attention and red – signals treatment is necessary). For example most cancer patients have an energy level of only 25%, or energy deficit of 75%. This means the immune system is nearly not functioning anymore. Fertile ground for cancer cell grow is established without major defense. Cancer can spread in the body. The reverse circumstance high energy levels – a powerful immune system, health and vitality and a non toxic environment don’t allow cancer cell grow. Disease development of any kind becomes impossible. The Meridian Diagnosis and PERTH treatment combination will make those scenarios visible and immediate treatment plans can be developed. The treatment effect is tested and recorded on a patient by patient basis during the very first measurement – therapy – measurement sequence.
This reflects the most effective way to prevent any kind of disease long time before it would appear. In addition the treatment of existing diseases is not “blind” anymore and the patient – treatment response can be finalized through different therapy applicators. For example mat treatment for energy balancing and meridian harmonization, oxygen increase in the blood (65% after 10 minutes), immune system boost, better sleep and vitalization etc. The treatment with the head applicator for the central nervous system, head, eye, ear, nose diseases and brain related diseases like Parkinson, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s etc. The intensive applicator for all joint related problems and to rebuild the cartilage, which is alone a phenomena and was completely impossible before. Finally a point applicator for any pain related circumstance. The PERTH therapy system is very easy to use, any therapist assistant can perform the treatment after a short introduction. As soon a therapy plan is in place patients for therapy or prevention can go in and out on their scheduled appointment without long waiting periods.
