Independent Study Concludes That Use of VeriChip for Access To Patient Records Significantly Decreases Emergency Care Charges

Use of VeriChip to Access Patient Records of Critically Ill Patients in Mass Casualty Scenario Decreased Emergency Care Charges by an average of $685.67 per patient

Access to electronic medical records (EMRs) could save the health care system billions of dollars annually

Tuesday, June 3, 2008; 8:00 AM EDT

DELRAY BEACH, FL.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VeriChip Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:CHIP - News), a provider of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, today announced the results of an independent study presented at the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine's Annual Meeting. The study concluded that use of the VeriChip for access to patient medical history verification significantly decreased the emergency care charges among critically injured patients in a randomized, blinded, prospective mass casualty scenario.

The study discussed the benefits gained from providing health care workers with immediate access to patient medical records during a mass casualty scenario. The objective of the study was to evaluate the use of VeriChip for electronic medical record (EMR) access, and whether a patient implanted with the VeriChip would affect emergency charges in a prospective mass casualty exercise. The conclusions stated that use of the VeriChip for access to patient records significantly decreased the emergency care charges among critically injured patients in the mass casualty scenario, with a mean decrease in ordered charges of $685.67 per patient. Theoretically, this translates into over $15 billion in decreased emergency care charges annually for critically ill patients presenting in the emergency room. (Assumption = 4,600 U.S. Emergency Rooms x 5,000 Critically Ill Patients/Annum x $685.67 Avg. Savings/Patient). The study can be accessed at www.aemj.org (Academic Emergency Medicine Journal, Vol. 15, No.5, Supplement1, May 2008 pS99 number 241).

Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and CEO, commented on the results concluded in the study, “We are pleased about the positive outcome yielded in the results. This study adds to the body of evidence further validating that the VeriChip technology can lead to more efficient and effective patient care in a triage or emergency room setting.”

Just a little something to know....

How Broccoli Fights Cancer

Just a few additional portions of broccoli each week could protect men from prostate cancer. Researchers believe a substance called isothiocyanate in the broccoli sparks hundreds of genetic changes, activating some genes that fight cancer and switching off others that fuel tumors.

Prostate cancer kills more men than any other kind except for lung cancer. Each year, 680,000 men worldwide are diagnosed with the disease and about 220,000 will die from it.

The benefit derived from broccoli would likely also be available from other cruciferous vegetables that contain isothiocyanate, including Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, arugula, watercress and horseradish.

FDA cracks down on bogus cancer treatments

Agency send letters to manufacturers, may seize products

updated 2:32 p.m. ET, Tues., June. 17, 2008

WASHINGTON - The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on teas, supplements, creams and other products that falsely claim to cure, treat or prevent cancer even though they are not agency-approved drugs. All are available for sale on the Internet.

The agency has sent 25 warning letters to companies and individuals marketing these products, FDA officials said Tuesday. Twenty-three of the letters went to domestic companies and two to foreign individuals.

FDA officials said the statements made about these products are dangerous because they could prevent a patient from seeking proper treatment for cancer. They could also harm a cancer patient by interacting with other drugs the patient is taking.

"FDA is very concerned that (they will lose money by cancer patients taking a more effective and natural route then the one that the government chooses- which happens to be medication that weakens and breaks you down as time goes on) consumers will purchase these products on the Internet and use them instead of products that have been proven safe and effective," said Michael Levy, director of labeling the agency's new drug division.

The letters criticized unproven claims made about these products including the ability to "destroy the enzyme on DNA responsible for cancer cells," and the power to "neutralize" carcinogens. One product's Web site had a testimonial claiming it had cured a patient's skin cancer in three days, according to one of the letters.

The ingredients of these unproven treatments include bloodroot, shark cartilage, coral calcium, cesium, ellagic acid, and a variety of mushrooms among other products.

Officials said that if the warnings are not heeded, the agency could take action including seizure of the products and criminal prosecution.

"Health fraud has been around for years, and it is a cruel form of greed," said David Elder, director of the agency's enforcement office. "Fraud involving cancer treatments can be especially heartless."

If a person finds a natural route to treatment of cancer- than taking the medication that may not ever heal them- then why not take the natural route… Before anyone thought to making medications that cure- my ancestors and their ancestors used natural remedies

Want to keep your Memory ??

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:45:02 GMT

I have bad memory now- but I know i will not subject myself to an electrical flow going through my brain. An accurate method is to work on what you do remember and focus on keeping that. Write about what you remember- talk often about what you remember or maybe record your memories... This is just something new for the government to use on us as if we aren't already getting tested on like lab rats...

Electrodes in Your Brain: A New Approach to Treating Disease?

As Alzheimer’s disease threatens to reach epidemic proportions in the United States in coming years, researchers are coming up with all sorts of ideas about how to restore memory.

Take, for instance, neurosurgeon Andres Lozano from the University of Toronto, who was testing deep-brain stimulation, in which electrical current is delivered directly to your brain, as a treatment for obesity. Much to his surprise, while the patient's weight showed little change, his memory improved significantly.

Lozano has formed a company to commercialize the technique as an Alzheimer's therapy, and it is currently being tested on six patients in the early stages of the disease.

Recently, deep-brain stimulation has become a routine treatment for Parkinson's disease. Scientists are also testing it as a way to treat a growing number of other disorders, including epilepsy, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The procedure involves a thin electrode surgically implanted into your brain, stimulating neurons in areas affected by disease. The voltage is controlled by a power pack implanted in the patient's chest.

Lozano found that turning on the electrical stimulation triggered old memories in his obesity patient; the higher the voltage, the more details he recalled. After several months of low-level stimulation, testing revealed that the man's memory had significantly improved.

Is this Technology Fantastic or Abusive?

In experiments on rats, the researchers found that electrical stimulation of the brain seems to drive the production of new memories and new brain cells.

So this technology may very well work to improve memory function -- but at what expense?

It does not come close to addressing the underlying causes of Alzheimer’s or any other disease. Not to mention that it’s very invasive, and its long-term effects are a complete mystery.

Preventing Alzheimer’s Disease Naturally

To keep Alzheimer’s disease at bay, follow these tips that address the problem at its roots:

Eat a nutritious diet with plenty of vegetables based on your nutritional type, and pay special attention to avoiding sugar.

Eat plenty of high-quality omega-3 krill oil. Avoid most fish (high in omega-3, but often contaminated with mercury).

Avoid and remove mercury from your body. Dental amalgam fillings are one of the major sources of mercury, however you should be healthy prior to having them removed. Once you have adjusted to following the diet described in Take Control of Your Health, you can follow the mercury detox protocol and then find a biological dentist to have your amalgams removed. Be careful as you could be jumping from the frying pan into the fire like I did if you see a conventional dentist to do the exchange. ONLY see a high-quality biologically trained dentist or your health could get ruined.

Avoid aluminum, such as in antiperspirants, cookware, etc.

Exercise for three to five hours per week. According to one study, the odds of developing Alzheimer's were nearly quadrupled in people who were less active during their leisure time, between the ages of 20 and 60, compared with their peers.

Avoid flu vaccinations as they contain both mercury and aluminum!

Wild blueberries, which have high anthocyanin and antioxidant content, are known to guard against Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.

And if you’re looking for a way to stimulate your mind, I’d try board games, crossword puzzles, travel, or a class at a community college long before I’d let electrodes be implanted in my brain.

Besides, natural mental stimulation -- including personality traits like imagination and curiosity -- is strongly associated with better memory, and the only “side effects” of natural mental challenges are good ones.

What you don’t know about weight loss can hurt you…
Low-calorie or low-fat foods may not address your personal issues with weight management at all. In addition to being highly processed and nearly free of any vital nutrients, these types of foods often contain ingredients that may compromise your health when consumed.
