More than medicine : the broken promise of American health / by Kaplan, Robert M.(Robert Malcolm),1947-author.;
American science produces the best--and most expensive--medical treatments in the world. Yet U.S. citizens lag behind their global peers in life expectancy and quality of life. Robert Kaplan brings together extensive data to make the case that health care priorities in the United States are sorely misplaced. America's medical system is invested in attacking disease, but not in addressing the social, behavioral, and environmental problems that engender disease in the first place. Medicine is important, but many Americans act as though it were all important. The U.S. stakes much of its health funding on the promise of high-tech diagnostics and miracle treatments, while ignoring strong evidence that many of the most significant pathways to health are nonmedical. Americans spend millions on drugs to treat high cholesterol, for example, which increase life expectancy by six to eight months on average. But they underfund education, which might extend life expectancy by as much as twelve years. Wars on infectious disease have paid off, but clinical trials for chronic conditions--costing billions--rarely confirm that new treatments extend life. By comparison, the National Institutes of Health spends just 3 percent of its budget on research in social and behavioral determinants of health, even though these factors account for 50 percent of premature deaths. America's failure to take prevention seriously costs lives. More than Medicine argues that we need a shake-up in how we invest resources, and it offers a bold new vision for longer, healthier living.--Includes bibliographical references and index.Let's be average -- Research promise and practice -- Mistaking the meaning of health -- Making health care safe and effective -- Social determinants of health -- The act of well-being -- A way forward.

The Nurse Practitioners' Guide to Autoimmune Medicine : [electronic resource] : Reversing and Preventing All Autoimmunity. by Bilstrom, David.;
This book is for every NP who wants to change the world. Not only changing your local community and the world of the patients seen in your clinic every day but the world as a whole. How does one NP change the world? By being part of a revolution. The epidemic that is autoimmune disease is changing the world. The 50 million Americans alone with autoimmune disease (AD) already need a revolution. Now. The people who will get ADs, need a revolution. The next generations need a revolution. The revolution? Reversing and preventing AD. Holistically treating the person with the disease (and those who will get them), rather than only putting a bandaid on a specific symptom. So many chronic diseases are now known to involve immune dysregulation as well. Osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, seizures, and even pain itself for example. Plus, the causes of AD tend to be the cause of all chronic disease. Reverse and prevent AD is reversing and preventing all disease. This will therefore also change the world that is the NP's own family. Parents, spouse, children, and grandchildren. Keeping your family as healthy as possible to allow you to more easily do your work as an NP. Every community needs practitioners that are experts in reversing and preventing AD. There are already plenty of people who are willing to prescribe medications with profound side effects (including cancer, life-threatening infections, and new ADs) for no more benefit than a short term control of a few symptoms. As more communities have this "expert" the revolution builds. Imagine reversing autoimmune disease. Imagine preventing 90% of Type 1 Diabetes, 50% of multiple sclerosis, and 82% of breast cancer (yes, cancer is an immune system issue as well).Requires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1978 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB).
