Pediatricians in the USA, and Caring for Your Babies
Many people asked me about looking for pediatricians in Los Angeles, California, USA. It would be a good idea to present to you my general impressions about pediatricians in the US.
1) Medicines are not prescribed unless they are absolutely necessary
As some of you may know, doctors in the United States have to swear an oath, also known as the Hippocratic Oath, with its modern version shown below:
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
Written in 1964 by Louis Lasagna, Academic Dean of the School of Medicine at Tufts University, and used in many medical schools today.
The oath clearly says that doctors should avoid "overtreatment", and some people also believe that "First do no harm" was also included in some of the earlier versions of the Hippocratic Oath. It is many people's experience that American pediatricians normally do not prescribe medications to young children unless it is absolutely necessary.
2) American doctors, especially pediatricians, consider benefits versus risks when prescribing medications to children
Many parents, especially parents who come from Asian countries, have experienced occasions when pediatricians refused to prescribe medications when they were asked by parents to do so. American pediatricians abide by certain strict rules, and when they prescribe medications, they consider their benefits vs. risks of side effects. For example, when a child has certain bacterial infection, doctors may prescribe antibiotics to suppress the infection. However, they also have to consider the side effects, such as the antibiotics killing the "good bacteria", also known as probiotics, in baby's stomach, which are good for the baby's digestion. They also consider the effect of drug resistance that it might result. Therefore, many parents, especially those from China where antibiotics are frequently over prescribed and that the interests of pharmaceutical companies and hospitals are aligned, are disappointed when American pediatricians refuse to prescribe any medications to their children when their children have certain fever, but not reaching a level when medications need to be prescribed.
3) Protecting your children, boosting their immune system through a healthy diet
A healthy diet is especially important for young children. In the US, many people follow the diet suggested by Anthony William, a person who has certain extraordinary abilities. It is said that he was able to tell that his grandmother had lung cancer when he was 4 years old. Many celebrities including Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, and Kim Kardashian endorsed him, either in writing or on TV shows. His books are best sellers on Amazon and New York Times. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, his books are not allowed to be published in China yet.
According to Anthony William, liver is probably the most important organ in a human being for the immune system. One of the functions of the liver is to detox. Foods such as pork and additives in processed foods all cause liver to be over burdened because it would take liver extra efforts to breakdown the fats in pork and also storing or breaking down the toxic ingredients in the additives so that other organs of the baby can be protected. Therefore, according to him, pork should be avoided at all costs if your baby is having immune issues.
He also suggests eating fresh fruits and vegetables. One of the most antioxidant fruits that he recommends is wild blueberry. Drinking celery juice empty stomach every morning not only helps liver, but also balances stomach acids, improving digestions.
For combating bacteria and viruses, in addition to eating more fruits and vegetables, he suggests taking supplements such as zinc. He says that liquid zinc sulfate is the kind of zinc that's easily absorbed by people.
4) Is it true that things don't exist if we don't see them?
Many people do not believe in the things that we do not see. However, they should think about things like X-ray, gamma radiation, radio waves, infrareds, ultra violet lights, etc.. Scientists such as Valerie Hunt, a professor at UCLA, have successfully measured human energy fields using scientific instruments that were used at NASA. Other people, though rare, can simply see the human energy fields, also known as auras, of people.
Such people include Barbara Brennan, author of Hands of Light, also a healer who was able to tell the abnormalities of the human energy fields, which occur before physical symptoms occur. She is also able to adjust the issues in the human energy fields through her mind so that physical symptoms can be prevented.
Rosalyn Bruyere is another such healer. Like Barbara Brennan, she can also see the colors of a person's aura, and improve the person's human energy field through her unique healing process.
Sean Harribance, who currently resides in Sugar Land, near Houston, Texas, uses his special talent of seeing the colors of auras to predict certain aspects of a person. His ability is so well-known that many people have benefited from him financially and otherwise. His predictions are also well documented.
Master Ostad Parvarandeh, who was originally Iran but later resided in California, is also a well documented healer who sends out energy to heal patients that failed to be healed by conventional doctors.
It also makes people think about the Qigong masters in China. In essence, the authentic Qigong masters in China treat people with illness by improving a person's energy fields, also known as Qichang in Chinese. Acupuncture, through the use of metal needles, also adjusts a person's energy flow in the meridians (with metals affecting the electromagnetic fields in the meridians).
For the people mentioned above, Valerie Hunt and Master Ostad Parvarandeh have passed away. Rosalyn Bruyere no longer accepts new patients and has since dedicated her time into teaching and training healers. Sean Harribance can be contacted from his website.
There are also certain diagnostic devices that detect human energy field abnormalities. They use what they call "non linear system", and some of the devices are manufactured in China with software programmed in Eastern Europe and Russia.
If you have a child that has certain conditions, you can also make the conditions better by placing your hand on the location where your child needs help the most, and setting a good intention, thus improving the healing process.
Summary
American pediatricians know about the side effects of medicines and surgeries and they will not prescribe it unless it is absolutely necessary. With the combination of eating a healthy diet as well as improving the human energy fields (or the Qichang), your child will be on the road of a healthy recovery.
