Frieda:
You don't mention the petro-pharmaceutical drugs which are also
"(and they said this was) standard diet
>for
>all open-heart patients, day one, regardless."
Drug allergies are increasingly common now.

It is "standard" hospital pracrice to use highly refined (i.e. no
nutrition) foods and always lots of refined white sugar.
This is anathema to diabetics and hypoglycemics (and bad for everyone
else, too).

These blow away the immune system and prevent healing.  Very profitable
for the hospitals.

What was the original problem?
Drug-induced  "Congestive Heart Failure"?  Very profitable.

There are plenty of (cheap) natural methods of healing most everything
(yes, even diabetes).  But no profit to hospitals in health.

Essential Oils are the "paleo-medicines" contained in whole *raw* foods.

Here's some hope for you:  Take your dad some flowers and a vial of
Lavender Oil.

Tell him to eat the flowers and dab the Lavender Oil everywhere --
especially on his wounds.  It is a potent anti-biotic, and there is
*never* any danger or allergy from it.
Good idea to take along a diffuser and use it liberally.

Include parsely and garlic in the flowers, roses and geraniums are good;
Pine tips, chamomile, etc..  Poppy is good, too, if he doesn't get busted
for "possession".
All good medicinal Paleo-foods.

I'm 62, and some years back I barely survived a session of quackery and
butchery at the local disease factory -- Carroll County General Hospital.
I look upon your dad as a prisoner in a very dangerous place.  A POW in
the War of Drugs which the "establishment" is waging against We, the
People.

The good news is:  I survived, and went on to become a Natural Healer.

Now for the bad news.  By seperate post I'll send some info about
hospitals.
